The Qur'an: Text History & Culture 12-14th Nov. 2009

Professor MAS Abdel Haleem & Dr A Shihadeh (Conveners)

Note: Internal event not open to external attendees.

Organised by the Centre of Islamic Studies, SOAS, the Sixth Biennial
Conference on the Qur’an aims to bring together papers representing a
diverse range of areas and approaches within Qur’anic studies. While
the conference will remain committed to the textual study of both the
Qur'an itself and the history of the religious, intellectual and
artistic activity that developed around it and drew on it, attention
will also be given to non-textual cultural and sociological studies
relating to the Qur'an. Our objective is to stimulate discussion,
debate and research on all aspects of Qur'anic studies.

conference website, at:
