How to Read the Qur'an

How to Read is a personal master class that brings you face-to-face with the work of some of the most influential and challenging texts in history.
The Qurâ‚¬an is the scripture of Islam, sacred to over one billion Muslims worldwide. It is regarded by Muslims as the direct word of God, timeless and unchanged. Muslims turn to the Qurâ‚¬an not only for prayer and worship but also to understand the essence of their relationship with God. Mona Siddiqui considers how the Qurâ‚¬an has been understood by Muslims in the intellectual traditions of Islam as well as in popular worship. She explores the â‚¬Å“big themesâ‚¬Â of prophecy, law, sin, and salvation, and what the Qurâ‚¬an teaches about the particular place of Islam as Godâ‚¬s last revelation in human history. Siddiquiâ‚¬s central concern is that Muslims must look to the Qurâ‚¬an to breathe new life into the social and ethical relations between Muslims and non-Muslims.
