Zakah is third only to the declaration of faith in God and His Prophet, and the five daily prayers. Yet it has not attracted the attention of modern Muslim scholars to commensurate its importance and analyze its laws taking into account the contemporary issues and problems. This book by one of the most authoritative contemporary Muslim scholars is an extensive study of the Zakah, its regulations and philosophy in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah, to show it is both a pillar of religion as well as a practical application in modern socio-economics.

A widely held view about the Qur'an is that in its received form, it lacks coherence. Most approaches to the Qur'an have remained atomistic in character. Some Western scholars even tried to rearrange the Qur'an to make it 'more comprehensible'. Muslim scholar Amin Ahsan Islahi however rejects this view that Qur'an is disjoined, and argues that the Qur'an possesses nazm or coherence, which is both aesthetically pleasing and carried profound hermeneutical significance. This is the first detailed study of Islahi's contribution to Qur'anic exegesis, and tries to assess his theory of Qur'anic coherence as reflected in his tafsir Tadabbur-i Qur'an.
