Quran 30 for 30 The Companion Reader

All praise is due to Allah, and may His peace and blessings be upon the final Messenger Muhammad and all those who follow his way with righteousness until the end of time. Ramadan is a time for reflection, a month in which we recite, reflect on, and try our best to implement the glorious teachings of the Qur’an.

Allah says in the Qur’an, “Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed. Guidance for humanity, and clear portents of guidance, and the Criterion. ”As part of this reflection process, Yaqeen Institute started the Qur’an 30for30 video series in Ramadan 2020/1441 AH. The series benefited many people across the world. We hope to reach even more people with this written summary of it.

The following chapters are a summary of the core points covered in the 30for30 series. Each chapter focuses on a single juz of the Qur’an summarizing some of its core themes and lessons. The content is taken primarily from the 2020 30for30 YouTube series, but also includes content from an earlier iteration in 2016. This is additionally boosted by selected quotes from other thematic tafsir books like A Thematic Commentary on the Qur’an by Shaykh Muhammad al-Ghazali and Themes of the Qur’an by Ismail Kamdar.

The translation of the Qur’anic verses in this book are taken from Qur’an: English Translation by Talal Itani with slight modification when needed. The hadith translations and references are taken from sunnah.com and AbuAminaElias.com.

This book was designed to give a summarized tafsir of the Qur’an focused primarily on the themes and lessons that link the various verses and surahs of the Qur’an. We hope to build upon this series with each passing year as long as Allah gives us the ability to do so.

We ask Allah for acceptance of our deeds, forgiveness for our sins, and to make this book a source of continuous reward for the entire team at Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research.
