Reviews

“Antony Thomas’s thoughtful, intelligent documentary is exactly what most of us need. He asks all the right questions, both about the Qur’an’s history, and about what it says.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian (London)

 

 
“Well done, Channel 4, for showing realities of Islam that too seldom see the light of day … Channel 4’s documentary, The Qur’an, ... is head and shoulders above anything I have seen on television about Islam ... It oozes love, both for the craft of film making and the subject of the film.”
Ziauddin Sardar, The Guardian (London)
     
Overview
Minimize
The Koran has become one of the most ideologically influential texts in the world, with over a billion Muslims on the planet today. Yet within this single community of belief, there are profound differences in religious practice and belief, including the status of women, attitudes on peace and violence, punishment and forgiveness. In this powerful and stunningly beautiful two-hour program, award-winning director, Antony Thomas goes deep into the heart of the Muslim world through the personal lives of people, living according to their own understanding of the Koran.
