Quran is a book of Guidance for humanity. However, researchers in social sciences have focused least on using Quran for setting the foundations of different theories in social sciences. One apparent reason for it is word to word translations of the Holy Quran which are difficult to read and understand for the beginners. In order to fill this gap, we have started a series of ultimate guidance. In this series, an earlier short book with the name of "An ultimate Source of Guidance [ISBN-10: 1699033366]" has already been published and it is available worldwide in paperback format on Amazon.com. The earlier book focused only on the main guidelines of Quran, pertaining to parents' care, business ethics, and family matters. However, we still felt the need of writing the Summary of Quran so that the researchers and social scientists should be able to understand the chapter wise description of the Quran and read it for further advancement of the social sciences. This book has two summaries of every chapter. The first summary gives a broader overview of every topic discussed in each chapter. While the second summary has detailed verse wise description of each discussed topic. Reading this book is important for every human being. However, our primary target of this book is social scientists, who are recommended to read and understand Quran and validate the theories of Anthropology, Economics, Political science, History, Geography, psychology, and sociology in the light of the Quranic Pearls of Wisdom. For writing this book the writers have reviewed several Quranic translations in English and Urdu for better understanding and summarizing of each chapter. We hope our effort will be fruitful in helping you to understand Quran and further explore it for the advancement of social sciences and the benefit of humanity.

Preface:
Quran is a book of Guidance for humanity. However,
researchers in social sciences have focused least on using
Quran for setting the foundations of different theories in
social sciences. One apparent reason for it is word to word
translations of the Holy Quran which are difficult to read and
understand for the beginners. In order to fill this gap, we
have started a series of ultimate guidance. In this series,
an earlier short book with the name of "An ultimate Source
of Guidance [ISBN-10: 1699033366]" has already been
published and it is available worldwide in paperback format
on Amazon.com. The earlier book focused only on the main
guidelines of Quran, pertaining to parents' care, business
ethics, and family matters. However, we still felt the need of
writing the Summary of Quran so that the researchers and
social scientists should be able to understand the chapter
wise description of the Quran and read it for further
advancement of the social sciences.
This book has two summaries of every chapter. The first
summary gives a broader overview of every topic discussed
in each chapter. While the second summary has detailed
verse wise description of each discussed topic. Reading
this book is important for every human being. However, our
primary target of this book is social scientists, who are
recommended to read and understand Quran and validate
the theories of Anthropology, Economics, Political science,
History, Geography, psychology, and sociology in the light
of the Quranic Pearls of Wisdom.
For writing this book the writers have reviewed several
Quranic translations in English and Urdu for better
understanding and summarizing of each chapter. We hope

when man disbelieves, he says, indeed, I am not associated
with you in this act. If Quran was sent on a mountain it would
have humbled and come apart from fear of God. Glory be to
God and the concluding verse describe 17 attributes of God.

Crime prevention can be any scheme, idea, or course of action or effort that reduces or eliminates crime in any given society. This article examines the perception that the adoption of the death penalty as a form of crime punishment will automatically result in a decrease in crime. The article adopts the qualitative research approach of document analysis, using comparative studies of two African countries (Nigeria and South Africa), one being a retainer of the death penalty and the other being an abolitionist of the death penalty. Attention is given to the contemporary national, regional, and international statutory provisions relevant to the death penalty. The article concludes with the premise that the adoption of the death penalty as a means of crime punishment has no direct corollary to the crime rate in society, but that a decrease in the crime rate is possible only with efficiency and effectiveness of the criminal justice system.
