Re: Questions about the Quran
although tangential to my thread, let me ask you a question about your post USResident. do you figure trying to find message in Quran aside from the literal is akin to following your caprice? Akin to finding a beautiful water crystal in thousands of random water crystals, and believing that water crystal to typify the whole glass of water? Wouldnt every person find a different message in the Quran depending on who he is, and wouldnt he have been searching for that message all along?
as for reading the ahadis/tafseer along with the text, what was the sequence, did you read them together, interleave them?
