The Endless Banquet, Vol. 3

The Endless Banquet is a reading guide to help the average person understand the broader meanings of the Qur’an. This book explains each Surah by grouping its ayat together according to shared themes, to help study its fundamental meanings and their connections with one another. It covers the benefits of the Qur’an’s repetition of certain phrases and stories, the shifting focus of ayat from law to stories, theological arguments, and descriptions of heaven and hell. The book explores connections between each Surah, the significance of their order, and how each Juz is divided based on overarching themes. It also discusses the context in which certain ayat were revealed and their relevance today. Each chapter covers one Juz and is written in easy-to-understand language to inspire a new generation of readers of the Qur’an among Muslims who are comfortable reading and speaking English.
