โฆ Synopsis
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 Qurโan 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 Qurโan not only for prayer and worship but also to understand the essence of their relationship with God. Mona Siddiqui considers how the Qurโan has been understood by Muslims in the intellectual traditions of Islam as well as in popular worship. She explores the โbig themesโ of prophecy, law, sin, and salvation, and what the Qurโan teaches about the particular place of Islam as Godโs last revelation in human history. Siddiquiโs central concern is that Muslims must look to the Qurโan to breathe new life into the social and ethical relations between Muslims and non-Muslims.
