What is this book?

The Scientific Tafsir of the Qur'an is a reading in which, beside every verse of the Qur'an, the author sets the commentary of modern science. Zakaria Kamal shows that the signs science uncovers today — the birth of the cosmos, chromosomes and heredity, black holes, the traces of human history — were hinted at long ago in the pages of revelation.

In this edition colour is the guide: where there is gold — there is the Qur'an, hadith, and scripture; where there is cosmos-blue — there is the author's explanation, the figures, and the scientific citations. The English edition launches with Chapters 1–6 ready to read, and more chapters arriving soon.
