The Mind Al-Quran Builds

Dr. Syed Abdul Latif

Dr. Syed Abdul Latif (1891-1971), a scholar of diverse skills and many accomplishments has authored a number of books elucidating the message and call of the Quran. In ‘The Mind Al-Quran Builds’ he seeks to ‘lift the veils that have been allowed to rest on the Quran, and to let it speak for itself unhindered any longer by its medieval associations’. The Mind Al-Quran Builds appeals to the intellect of man as man, intending to rouse the mood of introspection and thus the realization of the higher purpose of life. The book seeks to inspire in man the sublime yet simple sense of God and cultivate an order of society every member of which shall be a “keeper or shepard unto every other”. The author has tried to present a picture of the mind which the Quran aims to mould for man and calls upon a more earnest understanding of the Quran and a return to the true and real Islam, the Islam of the Quran and the Prophet; which is far removed from the Islam of today.
