The Qur’ān and the Turkic World

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventConference/SymposiumAcademic

Description

The Qur’ān, the sacred scripture of Islam, profoundly impacts the culture, society and politics of the predominantly Muslim Turkic world. However, the interpretation and application of the Qur’ān varies depending on the historical, geographical and political context of each country. This online conference will analyse how the Qur’ān is understood and practiced in different communities of the Turkic world, and how it shapes their relationships with other regions and countries. This is an area of great potential regarding original research, at a time that the broader Turkic identity is strengthening, with chaos in neighbouring regions.
