Soaking the Soul in the Recital with Shaykh Hamza Yusuf | Bradford Literature Festival 2025

This special event honours the life and legacy of Dr Thomas Cleary, one of the most respected translators of sacred and philosophical texts in the modern era. To mark Sandala’s publication of his final work — a powerful translation of the Qur’an — Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, President of Zaytuna College, reflects on Cleary’s lifelong devotion to clarity, precision, and spiritual depth in translation. Across more than eighty published works, Dr Cleary introduced global audiences to the wisdom of diverse traditions — from Islamic thought to Taoism and Buddhism — bridging cultures through language and insight. His Qur’an translation continues that legacy, offering a text that speaks to both heart and intellect, inviting all readers to encounter its beauty and meaning. Joining Shaykh Hamza Yusuf are Dr Aisha Subhani, Vice President of Zaytuna College, and Dr Asad Tarsin, in conversation about Dr Cleary’s remarkable career, his contribution to interfaith understanding, and the enduring influence of his scholarship on the study of spiritual texts. #ThomasCleary #HamzaYusuf #QuranTranslation #ZaytunaCollege #IslamicScholarship #Sandala www.bradfordlitfest.co.uk
