Surah 6: Al An'am (Day 2) | Original English Commentary | Project Illumine

Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl presents his Quranic commentary on Surah 6: Al An'am (Day 2 of 3) as part of the ongoing Project Illumine: Light of the Quran series at The Usuli Institute (www.usuli.org). There will be a Q&A at the end of Day 3. Project Illumine is a year-long intensive immersion into the unique moral messages in each of the 114 surahs (chapters) of the Quran, the fruit of this scholar's lifetime relationship with the Quran. This is the sixtieth chapter in the series. This is not the traditional line-by-line exegesis, but a chapter-by-chapter thematic approach that seeks to rediscover the original meaning received by the early Muslims that sparked their passion such that they transformed from desert dwellers to civilization builders. It is an investigation of the timeless moral and ethical lessons of the Quran then applied to our modern day. In the introduction, our Executive Director Grace Song shares a personal lesson from her conversion on choosing one's inner circle of friends and on the power of choice in changing one's life when seeking the light over darkness. Recorded at The Usuli Institute on 31 August 2021.
