Fi Zilal al-Quran (In the Shade of the Quran)

في ظلال القرآن

A widely read modern Quranic commentary written largely while the author was imprisoned. Sayyid Qutb presents a literary and thematic approach to the Quran, focusing on its relevance to modern life and society. While some scholarly positions are debated, its powerful prose style has made it one of the most influential tafsirs of the 20th century.
