The one I own in writing is by Hazrat Mirza Tahirm Ahmad, Germany, 1993. I used excerpt-copies of selected chapters of interest, that literature I currently was reding was dealing with, and in recent years I also used, online sites as well (using the version at islam.de). I red the printed one from start to end, but with interruptions. I mean I did not read the complete first third, and then stopped. Roughly the third I read is spread around all suras. I fast-skimmed over a good ammount of the rest that I did not read in-depth. - I consider the books I red about the Quran to be far more important for me. The Quran did not gave me anything more than the old testament (that I also only "hopp-readed"). Like that Australian bishop, I used a green and an orange pencil to mark text passages of positive/tolerant/peaceful/beautiful content, and passages of negative/violant/intolerant/inhuman content. I must say that the orange colour - by far - dominates when skimming the pages now. |
Thanks for your answer.
