"In The Mission and Destiny of Humankind, Dr. Hafeez illustrates his own personal approach to the study of the Qur'an, which emphasizes the ongoing theme that we as humans have been placed on earth to be God's trustees. Individual Qur'anic passages are studied, reflected upon, organized thematically, and often even placed in outline format within tables that frequently grace the text. This is no robotic reading of the Qur'an devoid of thought and contemplation. This is a sincere attempt by a devoted Muslim to reach a reasoned and thoughtful understanding of God’s word to us."
