And Such Parables

About this book

Between this book's covers you read no mere words, but wage an exceptional journey beginning where bewilderment ends. Have you ever wondered why roads narrow on us while we own "the constitution"? And why do some Quranic verses seem revealed for a time other than ours, while in essence they pulse with our small day's details? In "And Such Parables," writer Amr Amer doffs the robe of traditional exegesis to shake your hand in the language of the age. Here Quranic parables are no bygone tales, but "advice, warning, and reassurance." The writer searches the forgotten corners of our dealings; from commerce we frequent, disputes we live, even our silent questions in the night's belly: "Why was my prayer not answered?" This book is an open invitation to every "uncommon reader" seeking meaning behind the text. It breaks rigid molds and opens horizons for reasoning, drawing inspiration from "Al-Farouq's" genius and the prophets' stances, proving to you that this religion is flexible, alive, and capable of managing your daily details with stunning wit. You will find yourself.
