Project Illumine: Surah 54: Al Qamar


Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl presents his original Quranic commentary on Surah 54: Al Qamar, as part of the ongoing Project Illumine: Light of the Quran series at The Usuli Institute (www.usuli.org). 

 

Project Illumine is a year-long intensive immersion into the unique moral messages in each of the 114 surahs (chapters) of the Quran, the fruit of this scholar's lifetime relationship with the Quran. This is the thirty-eighth chapter in the series. This is not the traditional line-by-line exegesis, but a chapter-by-chapter thematic approach that seeks to rediscover the original meaning received by the early Muslims that sparked their passion such that they transformed from desert dwellers to civilization builders. It is an investigation of the timeless moral and ethical lessons of the Quran then applied to our modern day. In the introduction, Executive Director Grace Song addresses the fine line between sharing an opinion and speaking on behalf of Islam or God, especially as a relatively new convert. Recorded at The Usuli Institute on 25 May 2021.
