Description: The task of rooting out evil is a spiritual function which is to be undertaken by religion. Of late, it has been relegated into the background and replaced with the idol of secularism. In this book, the writer seeks to lift the veils that have been allowed to rest on the Qur'an, and to let it speak for itself unhindered by its medieval associations. Two chapters from the author's Islamic Cultural Studies, and a comprehensive index have been incorporated in this new improved edition.
