Atlas of the Quran, authored by Dr Shauqi Abu Khalil, is new in its subject, a subject that has not been touched before. It helps whoever recites the Quran or studies it to specify the locations mentioned by the Noble Verses, and to mark those places of ancient people mentioned in the Quran. This is besides locating areas where the incidents of the prophetic Seerah occurred. Eventually, the diligent reader will easily recognize those places, learn about them, and take heed of them while reciting.
The Atlas has also revealed obscure places we used to pass through inattentively, like the site where Nuh`s Ark settled, the site of the curved Sand-hills {Al Ahqah}, the cave of the young faithful men, the houses of median, the site of Sodom and other places determined by the Atlas depending on reliable sources. Thus the Atlas eliminates all the guesswork and the fantasies we encounter when reciting the Noble Quran, and takes us to the specific place.
This book brings the incidents of the Quran to life. It enables the readers to get a better geographical idea of all the incidents and stories mentioned in the Quran and increased the understanding of early Islam and its spread.
