CAIR's Share the Quran campaign has already distributed over 120,000 copies of The Message of the Quran, translated by Muhammad Asad. We have approximately 12,000 copies left in our warehouse and we need your help to distribute them. Our goal for Ramadan is to get at least 1000 of the remaining copies sponsored.

For this new phase, we are working in conjunction with mosques across the country who are actively engaged in interfaith outreach. CAIR would like to support our communities by supplying them with copies of the Quran for mosques to use in their interfaith initiatives. CAIR would like to partner with you, to make this happen.

How YOU Can Help:

For a limited time, you can Sponsor one of our beautiful 6 volume boxed set editions of The Message of the Quran for just $25. This impressive gift comes in a beautifully boxed set. This edition has the Arabic along with the English translation and transliteration, as well as detailed commentary and explanatory notes on each surah.  The pages are filled with beautiful calligraphy and historical notes as well. We will ship sponsored Qurans to Islamic Centers and organizations around the country for them to present to their interfaith partners.

If you would like to sponsor Qurans for a specific mosques, we ask that you commit to at least sponsoring 10 copies. We will gladly work with you to be sure your mosque receives them.  Just email Quran@cair.com and we will be happy to work with your mosque.

The Impact: In Their Own Words:

One of the best parts of my job is opening the mail and reading the thank you letters from recipients of the Qurans we distribute. These grateful letters not only warm my heart, but also serve as a testament to the success of this project. Here are a couple excerpts to show you what I mean:

•  Today, during a bible study meeting, some folks were making statements about Islam, the Quran, etc., as propagating / condoning violence. I have only read bits and pieces of the Quran you sent me, but I knew that they were wrong and so I argued that they were taking comments out of context. Had you not sent me the free Quran, I probably would have accepted their statements, but having read, for myself, I could correct their misstatements. Thank you for entrusting your holy book to my family.  -- An Interfaith Partner
  

•  Thank you very much for the gift of the beautiful Quran...We live in an isolated, homogeneous community. Most people who live her do not know a Muslim person. It is so easy in a community like this for people to believe the extreme views of news commentators on some stations, so easy to make stereotypes from extremists capable of violence on the news. Here, more than anywhere perhaps, this gift is important in reminding and educating people on the truth of the real Islamic faith and opens the possibility for understanding and respect. --A Mayor
• We received your gift of the Quran and want to thank you. In fact, it was on my 'to do' list to purchase one for our Religious Education Library. An important part of our Unitarian Universalist Religious Education curriculum is the teaching of respect and understanding of other religions. To have such a lovely copy of your sacred text will help us in our endeavor. I return Greetings of Peace to you and my all our efforts make a difference. --Director of Religious Education
