Description :



In the clear and Glorious Qur'an, eighty-nine verses [ayat] bear the explicit address: 'O you who believe [ya ayyuha 'lladhina amanu].'The author provides a thorough and enlightening commentary for each and every one of these.



The Shaikh says of this work: "I give thanks to the master (Glorious and Exalted is He) for making this work easy for me. Whenever I read the Quran, the sound of the call from my Lord would penetrate my heart, with his saying (Exalted is He): O you who truly believe! "Ya ayyuha lladhina amanu." "I would pause at each verse containing a call, and contemplate what Allah meant this Call to signify for me it occurred to my heart that I should collect them and write them down, but I did not decide to act on the feeling until I was moved to do so by Allah's enabling grace."
