The object of writing this book is to give the reader a fairly composite picture of the major Pro- phecies and Promises of the Holy Quran.

It is a tragic fact that the vast majority of non- Muslims has, for some reason or other, never given a serious thought to what the Quran says. Con- sequently, their ideas about the Quran still remain very much lacking.

It should rightly be emphasised that the Quran being of universal appeal, does not narrowly aim to locate itself in a particular country, but it has been revealed as a "Guide and Mercy to all mankind," irrespective of race and colour. Therefore the Quranic subject is of vital importance to both the Muslims and the non-Muslims alike.
