Tag: Quran, Tafsir


In this occasional series of Khanversations about The Holy Quran I will be speaking to scholars and students of the divine text who seek to translate it, to write commentaries on it and to even teach it. I also want to flush out the breadth and depth of Muslim understanding of The Quran — the veritable speech of God. The Ramadan 2020 series is sponsored by the Islamic Community Center of Lancaster, PA.
