This will be a blog to collect notes of my readings of the Quran, and musings about Islam in general.

I endeavour to understand the Quran through Quranism. This often leads to interpretations of the Quran which radically differ from traditional readings. They are not intended to replace traditional readings, they only represent my own thoughts.

These notes are incomplete, and will remain so.

๏ Say, “He is God, the one. (1) God, the absolute. (2) He does not beget and He is not begotten; (3) for Him there is none equal.” (4) ๏

— al-ikhlāṣ, 112/1-4

The previous chapter offers a very potent contrast with the message of this one. The father of the flames – abī lahab, and the carrier of the firewood – ḥammālata l-ḥaṭab are destined for the fire. To avoid their fate, our lives must be an expression of the unity of God and His attributes.
