520 |a The pluralizing forces in many English speaking countries include a number of Muslim communities. As these become integrated into their host societies, their social and spiritual values, and above all a recognition of the Qur'an as their sacred Book have the potential to enrich the mythic and symbolic resources of English as a language of literature. For this, the Qur'an needs to establish recognition in the first place at a secular level as literature in order to pave the way for an awareness of its spiritual dimensions. This essay outlines some of the obstacles to such a development, and suggests ways in which they may be overcome. It shows how the Qur'an re-presents in a distinctive way themes and motifs familiar to English readers of the Bible. It offers English renderings of a number of qur'anic pericopes. It attempts by use of a number of techniques to present them in a way that communicates something of the genius of the Qur'an as literature, and thereby to offer a basis on which non-Muslims can share with Muslims its distinctive contribution to the spiritual heritage of humankind.
