Synopsis Reading, reciting and learning of the Qur'an by heart are not the ways of real approach to it. By approach we mean that we should understand what the Qur'an says to us, what message it conveys to us, and what demand it makes from us. Keeping these points in mind, International Centre for Religious Studies has made an effort to compile a comprehensive Encyclopaedia of the Holy Qur'an in 5 volumes which explores about 300 important themes to meet the demand of the contemporary world:All the 300 themes of this Encyclopaedia have been edited and compiled in alphabetical order by reputed Islamic scholars.
