The Ascendant Qur'an: Realigning Man to the Divine Power Culture. A 12 volume exegesis of the Qur'an written by Shi'ite Scholar Imam Muhammad 'Asi. Completed until Surat al-An'am. This tafsir is unique because it was written directly in the English language by Imam al-'Asi, so it avoids the inevitable loss of some meanings in the translation process. It is also a contemporary work and Imam al-'Asi links the message to the present. He continues to work on this monumental tafsir.
