The Call to the Believers in the Clear Qur'an : (Nida' al-Mu'minin fi 'l-Qur'an al-Mubin)

By Shaikh Ahmad Fathu'llah Jami, the Shaikh of the Shadhili Order (Tariqa), the native of Mush [in Eastern Turkey], the Khalidi by descent, the Shafi'i by school of Islamic Law, the resident of Marash.   He is the successor (Khalifa) of Shaikh 'Abd al-Qadir 'Isa al-Halabi.

The Call to the Believers consists of eight-nine discourses, each one being an exegesis (tafsir) on one of the eighty-nine Qur'anic verses (atat) in which the believers are addressed as: "O you who believe..."

The Shaikh says of this work: "I give thanks to the Master (Glorious and Exalted is He) for making this work easy for me.  Whenever I read the Qur'an, the sound of the Call from my Lord would penetrate my heart, with His saying (Exalted is He):  O you who truly believe! [ya ayyuha 'ladhina amanu] I would pause at each verse containing a Call, and contemplate what Allah meant this Call to signify for me.  It occurred to my heart that I should collect them and write them down, but I did not decide to act on the feeling until I was moved to do so by Allah's enabling grace."
