The Qur'an and the Prophet in the Writings of Shaykh Ahmad al-Alawi

The Qur'an and the Prophet in the Writings of Shaykh Ahmad al-‘Alawi
presents for the first time in English all the collected works of the
Shaykh on the two guiding principles of Islam. The Shaykh al-Alawi had
embarked on a full commentary on the Qur'an, but only completed an
introduction explaining his approach to Qur'anic exegesis and
commentaries on three chapters. All these pieces are included here with
an additional appendix of answers to questions that the Shaykh’s
disciples had put to him on the Qur'an.

The Qur'anic commentaries are followed by a treatise on the meaning
of the invocation of blessings on the Prophet. This extremely profound
treatise delves into the spiritual nature of the Prophet explaining how
he represents both the summit of spiritual attainment and the example
for all those seeking enlightenment. Also included in the appendix are
answers that the Shaykh gave his disciples on sayings of the Prophet.
