Blogging the Quran
The Guardian has just launched recently a project called “Blogging the Quran” in which verses of the Quran are blogged daily and a discussion is facilitated between two writers for the Guardian, Madeleine Bunting and Ziauddin Sardar. I’ve read it and it’s a brilliant exercise in explaining the Quraan to both Muslims and non-Muslims. The verses are analysed from a western context by Madeleine in which certain questions come up and initial interpretation is made from a Western context. Ziauddin then explains from an Islamic point of view the interpretation of the verses and the meaning behind them.
Being a blog, all the benefits are available as well.. commenting, discussing, etc. you can also send e-mails to the writers for any further clarification.
I highly recommend this for everyone to read. For myself, I have found it very enlightening and, as usual with the Quraan, the various levels of meaning and their significance leave me constantly mesmerised.
Subhan-Allah (Glory be to God)
Peace,
M.
