  • Tickles the issue of the raising of the Muslims

    This is diverting people from the teaching of Islam! And it will raise the Islamic phobia!! Islam is a faith a pure belief! Not invasion of the lands!!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shawkat M. Toorawa, "The Devotional Qur'an: Beloved Surahs and Verses" (Yale UP, 2025)
Q: What are some challenges of translating the Qur'an into English?
One significant challenge is maintaining the poetic qualities and sound patterns while making the text resonate with contemporary audiences without losing its meaning.
Shawkat M. Toorawa, "The Devotional Qur'an: Beloved Surahs and Verses" (Yale UP, 2025)
Q: So how did this book come to be, this particular, this devotional Qur'an?
The project began in the late '90s when I started to encounter the Qur'an as part of my literary studies. Frustrated with poor translations, I began to explore how to capture the Qur'an's sound and rhythm in English, leading to this compilation.
Radio ReOrient 13.7: "Linguistics, Citizenship and Belonging,” with Kamran Khan, hosted by Claudia Radiven and Marchella Ward
Q: How does the relationship between Britishness and language play into the current political climate?
Khan explained the implications of language requirements for citizenship and their ties to race and identity in the context of Britishness and belonging.
Radio ReOrient 13.7: "Linguistics, Citizenship and Belonging,” with Kamran Khan, hosted by Claudia Radiven and Marchella Ward
Q: Could you talk to us about your work on citizenship, particularly around your work, Becoming a Citizen?
Khan discussed how citizenship has evolved from being a legal definition to something tied deeply to ideas of belonging, influenced by changing political and social contexts.
Faisal Devji, "Waning Crescent: The Rise and Fall of Global Islam" (Yale UP, 2025)
Q: Can you explain what happened in the 19th century that allowed Islam to be imagined in this way as an actor?
This shift occurs at a time when European empires are spreading, leading to the diminution of older forms of Muslim authority, enabling Islam to become a global subject detached from kings and clerics.
