Farooq Mirza born 1950 in Lahore Pakistan, went to high school at Azam Garrison High school, Lahore Pakistan. He spent his college days in Forman Christian College and went to medical school in King Edward Medical College Lahore Pakistan. He came to US in 1976 and did his Residency in Pediatrics and since then he is practicing pediatric emergency in Texas. His interest in religion began during childhood because he grew up in a very conservative Sunni Muslim home. While living in America and exposed to Judeo-Christian based society, open a new horizon in spiritual growth. It involve getting to know besides Bible and my own religious book the Quran, which I never read till I got to United States. One American new convert to Islam introduced me to "The message of the Quran by Muhammad Asad," who himself was a convert from Judaism to Islam. More I read that book , which is more than thousand pages long more I was convinced that the Quran cannot be invention of Muhammad. The message of the Quran is much more superior to Muhammad' own utterances in both depth of meaning and scope. However, understanding Quran turn out to be a much difficult endeavor. The Quran is a unique book, and unlike any other book, it does not have a beginning, middle, or end. It is not arranged according to different topics or subject matter.The seemingly abrupt transition from one subject to another is also in accord with the Quranic principle of deliberately interweaving moral exhortation with practical legislation. This in pursuance of the teaching that man’s life—spiritual and physical, individual and social—is one integral whole, and therefore requires simultaneous consideration of all its aspects if the concept of the good life is to be realized. The Quran in its original format is likely to be confusing to a Western reader.A discussion of varying subjects within the same chapter appear unconnected and may cause confusion and misunderstanding, especially for those not familiar with the uniqueness of the Quran. For the Western readers, the Quran according to the subject matter will be much easier to read and understand. After putting in long hours, the author has rearranged THE MESSAGE OF THE QURAN by Muhammad Asad, according to the specific topics and subject matter.
