The Noble Qur’Én, no doubt, provides guidance in all domains of life, both individual and collective. This Divine Writ/Sacred Text is relevant for all time and place. Thus, there have been attempts and efforts, from classical to contemporary eras, to write on the varied aspects of the Qur’Én broadly termed as the Qur’Énic Studies. It is an interesting and exciting academic discipline, spread over a number of branches, to which Muslims and non-Muslims have contributed extensively: some branches include TafsÊr (UÎËlal-TafsÊr), ‘UlËm al-Qur’Én, translations of the Qur’Én, Qur’Énic hermeneutics, Contextualist approach to Qur’Én, thematic interpretations of Qur’Én, simple introductions to the Qur’Én and personal wrestling(s) with the Sacred Text. Engaging with the Sacred Text is a substantial category, and one recent substantial addition in this category is Ziauddin Sardar’s Reading the Qur’Én: The Contemporary Relevance of the Sacred Text of Islam (2011/ 2015). In this essay, a critical assessment of Sardar’s Reading the Qur’Én is presented. The major objective of this essay is three-fold: (i) to identify precisely its subject-matter; (ii) to assess Sardar’s approach and the conclusions he draws from his personal engagement with the Divine Text; and (iii) to highlight its merits and demerits, positive and negative aspects, with a critical approach.
