Let us experience the Quran

For some times, i had been toying with the idea of having a quran discussion group/forum to see the quran through our own eyes. it is mainly to share our understanding of quran among ourselves. ofcourse, i at least dont consider myself to be in a position to discuss quran all on my own, and so i strongly think we should take some help from any selected exegesis.

here is what i have thought of:

1. We select a chapter / some verses to discuss. should have a long term plan, and for a start i suggest the last ten chapters, they being the most commonly recited during prayers.

2. I would then post a synopsis of the selected tafsir. my choice of tafsir is the fi zilal, an english version (juz amma only) of which is available online. personally i really like this tafsir for its analytical viewpoints as well as insights into the deeper feelings of the Quran.

3. this will be open for discussion for a week, where every member comments on following two points:
i - what did i learn from or how do i see these verses.
ii - how can i implement these verses in myself and people around me.

4. at the end of the week, we can make a summary of overall discussion and post it again.

so, if you are interested in participating, please drop a comment. i hope to start by beginning next week, provided there are enough interested people to constitute a discussion group.

note: please dont join if you are not in it for the sake of knowledge. comments would be moderated, so it will not be posted anyway...
