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'.

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.
