This is Tafsir Ibn Kathir Part 1 0f 30. This Part of the Qur'an covers Surah 1: Al Fatiha 001 to Surah 2: Al Baqarah 141. Tafsir Ibn Kathir Volume 1 to 30 gathers in one place all relevant information needed to make the Qur'an more understandable and easier to read  or study. Each of the 30 Parts of this Book collection consists of one Juz (or Part) of The Holy Quran. Each Juz is layed out as follows: 1. The Holy Quran in the beautiful Uthmanic Script for those who are able to read the Quran in Arabic.  2. An abridged english version of Tafsir Ibn Kathir that has been translated by a group of muslims under the supervision of Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri. In the Tafsir section of the book, I have provided transliteration of the Arabic text for those who are unable to read the Arabic script. This will give them a sample of the sound of the original Arabic Qur'an, which they could not otherwise comprehend from reading the English meaning only. 3. The meaning of the qur'an in English (translated by Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan) We hope that by doing this an ordinary English-speaker will be able to pick up a copy of this book and study and comprehend The Glorious Qur'an in a way that is acceptable to the understanding of the Rightly-guided Muslim Ummah (Community) |

And even though it’s been almost 100 years since the Scopes trial, evolution continues to be one of the most controversial scientific doctrines of all time.  But in truth, the basic concept of evolution—the idea that species change over time to adapt to their environment—is quite simple, even obvious, once one thinks of it. After reading this book, you should be able not only to understand the basic concepts of evolution but to appreciate both what it does, and what it does not, accomplish. |
