Synopsis
Letters from the Qur'an (رسائل من القرآن) is an Arabic-language work of contemporary Islamic non-fiction by the Palestinian writer Adham Sharkawi, published in 2021 by Dar Kalimat.
The book is structured as a series of short reflections, each built around a Qur'anic verse or theme, addressed to different kinds of readers — the believer seeking reassurance, the doubter wrestling with faith, the grieving, the anxious, the person looking for a way back after having strayed. Rather than working through formal exegesis, Sharkawi writes in a warm, direct, conversational register aimed at making Qur'anic ideas feel personally relevant to a contemporary audience.
The book sits within Sharkawi's broader body of accessible religious and inspirational writing and has become one of his most popular titles, valued by readers for making spiritual reflection approachable without requiring prior religious scholarship.
