A Maqāṣidic Tafsīr of Five Foundational Makkan Sūrahs (The Maqasidic Tafsir)
A Maqāṣidic Tafsīr of Five Foundational Makkan Sūrahs
(Al-Isrāʾ • Al-Kahf • Maryam • ṬāHā • Al-Anbiyāʾ)
In an age of confusion, distraction, and spiritual estrangement, the Qur’an does not merely offer comfort — it offers a blueprint for revival.
In this groundbreaking volume, Dr. Karīm Abū Zaid presents a powerful maqāṣidic journey through five of the most transformative Makkan sūrahs of the Qur’an: Sūrat Al-Isrāʾ, Al-Kahf, Maryam, ṬāHā, and Al-Anbiyāʾ. Read together as one unified curriculum, these sūrahs reveal how Allah سبحانه وتعالى prepares a believing generation to carry Islam through times of weakness, fitnah, and uncertainty toward clarity, steadfastness, and eventual restoration.
Inside This Volume
• The Qur’ānic blueprint of revival in the age of estrangement
• How revelation forms hearts before civilizations
• Protecting faith from shubuhāt (doubts) and shahawāt (desires)
• The role of gratitude, worship, patience, and certainty in rebuilding the Ummah
• The connection between Makkah, Bayt al-Maqdis, and the prophetic mission of history
• The spiritual architecture behind resilience, leadership, and divine help
More than a tafsīr, this volume is a call to rediscover the Qur’an as a living program of transformation — one that shapes individuals, reforms communities, and restores direction in times when truth itself feels strange.
With deep grounding in classical tafsīr, prophetic methodology, and maqāṣidic analysis, this book invites the reader to move beyond isolated verses and witness the Qur’an as a coherent, unfolding map for guidance, protection, formation, and revival.
This is not merely a study of the past.
It is preparation for the future.
A journey for every believer seeking clarity in confusion, firmness in fitnah, and a deeper understanding of how Allah سبحانه وتعالى prepares a generation to carry His trust.
Perfect For
• Students of Qur’ān and Tafsīr
• Seekers of Islamic revival and reform
• Readers interested in maqāṣidic reflection and civilizational thought
• Communities navigating the challenges of the modern world through Revelation
“Protection is not the goal.
It only preserves the path to revival.”
