<![CDATA[This article discusses the importance of an anthropological approach in the study of the Qur’an. Anthropology, a branch of the humanities, serves as a tool to understand the Qur’an as a manifestation of religious practice evolving within society.

Consequently, examining the Qur’an within these spatial and temporal dimensions—specifically through an anthropological approach—is crucial.
