SUMMARY:"The Qur'an in English Verse" - Lecture and Webinar by Bruce Lawren
 ce and Rafey Habib
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Ismaili Studies is pleased to announced the pu
 blic lecture "The Qur’an in English Verse"  by  Prof. Bruce Lawrence (Du
 ke University) and Prof. Rafey Habib (Rutgers University).\n\nDoubters hav
 e declared that the Qur'an is resolutely Arabic\, and that any translation
  can only deliver its meaning\, but not its tone and timbre in Arabic. We\
 , however\, are committed to producing an English translation of the Qur
 ’an that might actually move people\, awaken their feelings\, create in 
 them a definite mood\, or induce a sense of the beauty and sublimity of th
 e original — in short\, a poetic translation\, with its distinctive yet 
 subtle voice.\n\nTo this end we will review three Qur’anic suras that em
 body our approach: Sūrat al-Fātiḥa (Q. 1)\, Sūrat Yā Sīn (Q. 36) an
 d Sūrat al-Raḥmān (Q. 55).\n\nDATE: Tuesday 10 November 2015\, 17:00 G
 MT \n\nVENUE:  The Institute of Ismaili Studies\, 210 Euston Rd NW1 2DA\, 
 London (Multipurpose Room\, 1st floor)\n\nTO ATTEND IN PERSON: Please regi
