If you read the Qur'an with your head, you find repetition. If you read it with your heart, you find depth.
Tariq Ramadan

Tariq Ramadan
What I'm advocating is an intellectual revolution - it's a different mindset concerning the ethical benchmarks by which we live.

Political rhetoric leads only to confusion.
Tariq Ramadan
We need more citizens that are committed and courageous.

We must master our egoism, and through this mastery, step outside ourselves and educate ourselves in giving. Fasting requires that we rediscover all that is alive around us, and reconcile ourselves with our environment.
Tariq Ramadan
Cultures are never merely intellectual constructs. They take form through the collective intelligence and memory, through a commonly held psychology and emotions, through spiritual and artistic communion.
Tariq Ramadan
There is great potential and deep fragility [in Malaysia] that can be used by any group that stresses on religion, pushing towards Islam, rejecting people and alienating migrants - anything can be used to win the next elections. So these are the signs of fragility that is very much there.
Tariq Ramadan
South Africa is labouring to find its revolutionary path the colours of the Rainbow Nation have difficulty blending together the wealthy elites (white, black or Indian) profit from de facto segregation.
Tariq Ramadan
If there is a smoke, there is a fire, the saying goes, That is quite true, but one should find what the fire is, and who lit it.
Tariq Ramadan
When I go back to the Quran I see that the context of Revelation is creation in its entirety. The universe is a Revelation and this of course includes nature, plants and animals. In other words, what is coming from the Quran as rules and objectives are set within the larger scheme of the universe and nature as part of Creation.
Tariq Ramadan
The problem is that the constitution should have been and was an opportunity, exactly as Moncef Marzouki tried to do, to bring together the secularists and Islamists.
Tariq Ramadan
The media is putting a lot of emphasis on the few people that are destroying, while it won't report on the silent majority of people who are constructing, building and trying to find their way.
Tariq Ramadan
The most dangerous prisons are those with invisible bars

IS [Islamic State] has played a major role in helping Bashar al-Assad to reposition Syria on the international scene. Now, it is almost impossible to come up with a solution that would exclude him. The political game appears to be very cynical indeed.
