Taleghani's method mirrors his thesis that drawing on the light of the Qur'an along with authentic prophetic tradition, sound theological argument, and a grasp of ethics, science, and human history reveals the observable interconn...

The study and explanation of Surah Al-Fatihah and verses 1-143 of Surah Al-Baqara make up Volume I of A Ray of the Qur'an.
