Preface:
Quran is a book of Guidance for humanity. However,
researchers in social sciences have focused least on using
Quran for setting the foundations of different theories in
social sciences. One apparent reason for it is word to word
translations of the Holy Quran which are difficult to read and
understand for the beginners. In order to fill this gap, we
have started a series of ultimate guidance. In this series,
an earlier short book with the name of “An ultimate Source
of Guidance [ISBN-10: 1699033366]” has already been
published and it is available worldwide in paperback format
on Amazon.com. The earlier book focused only on the main
guidelines of Quran, pertaining to parents' care, business
ethics, and family matters. However, we still felt the need of
writing the Summary of Quran so that the researchers and
social scientists should be able to understand the chapter
wise description of the Quran and read it for further
advancement of the social sciences.
This book has two summaries of every chapter. The first
summary gives a broader overview of every topic discussed
in each chapter. While the second summary has detailed
verse wise description of each discussed topic. Reading
this book is important for every human being. However, our
primary target of this book is social scientists, who are
recommended to read and understand Quran and validate
the theories of Anthropology, Economics, Political science,
History, Geography, psychology, and sociology in the light
of the Quranic Pearls of Wisdom.
For writing this book the writers have reviewed several
Quranic translations in English and Urdu for better
understanding and summarizing of each chapter. We hope
Muhammad Farooq and Nagina Kanwal
Summary of Quran: An Ultimate Guide Series
our effort will be fruitful in helping you to understand Quran
and further explore it for the advancement of social
sciences and the benefit of humanity.

when man disbelieves, he says, indeed, I am not associated
with you in this act. If Quran was sent on a mountain it would
have humbled and come apart from fear of God. Glory be to
God and the concluding verse describe 17 attributes of God.
