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.

๏ Indeed, We have bestowed upon you the abundance. (1) So support your lord and face off. (2) Indeed, your enemy – he is the one cut off. (3) ๏

— _al-kawthar_⋆108/1-3

The word kawthar (kāf-thā-rā) comes from the same root as the word kathīr – many/much. And in’ḥar (nūn-ḥā-rā) is a combative term, meaning to stab, slay, kill or face up to an enemy.

We have much, so it’s right that we connect – ṣalli (ṣād-lām-wāw) – to God and face our enemies without excuses.
