“Ask God” divides the verses into seven sections on historical, economic, political, cultural, scientific, legal and also spiritual verses.
This co-author of the book stressed the title of the book, “Ask God”, as another unique feature of the book noting, “This title builds a kind of intimacy between the reader and Qur’an and helps the reader to easily pursue for a solution to his problems among Qur’anic verses.”
Mahdi Qadami said defending the honor of Qur’an as his objective for writing the book and said, “Some desecrating behaviors towards Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) or Qur’an burning in some western countries inspired me to make a move and introduce the functional aspect of Qur’an in daily life.”
“Ask God” is a joint effort of two Iranian authors Mahdi Qadami and Parviz MosallaNejad.
