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.

๏ For the familiarity of (the) collective – quraysh. (1) Their familiarity is the journey of the winter and the summer – al-ṣayf. (2) So let them worship the lord of this house. (3) The one who feeds them against hunger and gives them security from fear. (4) ๏

— _quraysh_⋆106/1-4

The verb qarasha (qāf-rā-shīn) means “He gained, acquired, or earned and collected, for his family.” (Lane (1863) Vol. 8, p. 2986)

The theme of the previous chapter was the destruction brought on the collective which pursued abhorrent acts. That is contrasted here with those who are familiar with ‘alterity’. To become familiar with God’s bayt, one must bring together experiences of death and hardship, as well as growth and warmth. Because the ebbs and flows of life is God’s house, and God feeds and secures those who are devoted therein.
