| 0:09.0 | The Quran is incredible literature, |
| 0:12.0 | incredible literature from many, many different angles. |
| 0:15.0 | You could study the subject from many different points of view. |
| 0:18.6 | Actually, I'm working on a seminar that's launching in February dedicated to each angle, each perspective from which we can study and appreciate the eloquence and the precision and beauty of the Quran. |

| 0:35.0 | Of the 20 or so that I've compiled as far, at least three dimensions I'll try to present to you today, inshala. |
