The 114 Chapters

Misleading Title and Disappointing

I was disappointed with this book because the title is misleading. It suggests that the book provides a summary of all 114 chapters (surahs) of the Qur’an, but in reality it is organised around the 30 paras (Qur’an divisions) rather than individual surah summaries. I was expecting each surah to be discussed and summarised separately, which would have made the book much more useful and aligned with what the title seemed to promise. While the content may still be beneficial for readers looking for an overview of the Qur’an by paras, it did not meet my expectations based on the description. A clearer title would have helped avoid this misunderstanding.

The size of the book was deceptive. The book is the size of my hand or a remote control, smaller than A5. Had a photo of it next to a coffee cup added to the website, an informed decision could have been made because I was looking for an A4 size at least as an addition to a coffee table read. I’m sure the photos would have been too small to enjoy too. I will be returning it sadly. This book needs to be bigger to enjoy and contemplate without straining the eyes. Postage was good . Communication good. Refund unsure yet, haven’t sent it back. Having to pay for return postage unhappy about that because item was misleading on website.

Very cute little book…I wish it was a bit more detailed though…it needs more information and background story for each Surah.
