A recitation of the Qur'an took place in St. Mary's Cathedral on Friday.
It was performed by someone called Madinah Javed.
The Cathedral Church of St. Mary the Virgin is a cathedral of the Scottish Episcopal Church.
There was a written translation in the booklets provided by the cathedral alongside the rest of the program.
You can see a video of it here

The passage read at St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow, appears to be from the Sura known as Maryam or Mary and is about the birth of Christ. It affirms the virgin birth and speaks of Jesus as zaki or sinless, as rasul or messenger to whom a book has been entrusted and as nabi or prophet.It speaks of his unique birth, his coming death and his resurrection.Jesus is called the very word of the truth(or of God).
Much of this Christians can agree with but the passage also denies that God can have a son although the verb used, yattakhida, suggests God taking to himself a son. This seems to have the heresy of Adoptionism in the background and is not what Christians believe. They believe he is the eternal Word proceeding from the Father and son in this sense, as well as because of his unique birth and his resurrection from the dead.
It is particularly insensitive to have this passage read in Church on the Feast of the Epiphany when we celebrate not only Christ's manifestation to the gentiles but also his baptism and the divine declaration, "you are my beloved son in whom I am well pleased".

So, when will a Gospel passage from the Christian Bible be read in a mosque?
Hint: Never.
Why do you marvel? Do you think the One World Religion of the Anti-Christ will come without precursors? Step by step down the road to Perdition!
Indeed. Look up!
It is ignorant idiocy. Bishop must be defrocked.
This is what’s next
Because UK IMBECILES put ankle monitors on ISIS terrorists and turn them lose on the public.
If there weren't a whole mess of Muslims handy they would find some other method.
St. Mary’s Mosque...house of cards.
Let’s not forget JPII kissing the Satanic koran.
Beloved Son bump
if it is ever read, it is the end of Islam. Evil (the Koran) cannot stand when there is light (the Bible)
