Morality, A Quranic Perspective Naser Makarem Shirazi

The realisation of perfection is a goal ingrained in every human's primordial build (fitrah). However, the path to this perfection is often marred by obstacles both from within and without, hindering progress. A more difficult path is attaining moral perfection, which often entails fighting against oneself, ego, and often cultural and societal norms.




This book Morality: a Quranic perspective, is a collection and categorisation of verses from the Holy Quran that pertain to this divine struggle (jihad al-akbar), guiding the reader gently through the fundamental aspects of this struggle and how to overcome it.




Each verse contains a brief commentary that exposes the profound meanings. This book is written for both young and old as a handy daily reminder of overcoming struggles and choosing the more Godly path. It is also highly recommended for parents and teachers, to inculcate these divine values in younger children.
