Tony Blair reads the Quran every day

London:  Former British prime minister Tony Blair has become "increasingly open" about the importance of religion, and reads the Quran every day to be "faith-literate".

Blair, who reportedly said he was not interested in religion, converted to Catholicism after leaving No.10 Downing Street in 2007.

The former Labour Party leader now says reading the Islamic holy book ensured he remained "faith-literate", reports the Daily Mail.

"To be faith-literate is crucial in a globalised world, I believe. I read the Quran every day. Partly to understand some of the things happening in the world, but mainly just because it is immensely instructive," he said.

Blair said a knowledge of the faith was important for his role as an envoy for the Quartet of the UN, US, European Union and Russia.

Blair earlier reportedly praised the Muslim faith as "beautiful". He said Prophet Mohammed had been "an enormously civilising force".

The former prime minister said the Quran was a "reforming book, it is inclusive. It extols science and knowledge and abhors superstition. It is practical and way ahead of its time in attitudes to marriage, women and governance".

  9. It is obviously clear that when man dismissed from office can understand weal and woe then.Mr TONY Blair is not exception of that. The article
    under the title "Tony Blair reads the Quran everyday" is the reflection of above.

  24. Salam to all, the Mircale of Holy Quran is, once you start( whether u want to find out mistakes or for light) reading,yr life will change dramatically. there is one minor problem, which is.he has been a leader for quite long time,i am sure the jews have a strong influence.... u know the rest.he may take longer than low profile non-muslims... but finally he will find his way,
    Mr, blair i am looking an ocean of tears in yr eyes for deeds u have done in past.and that will pull to peace for ever... keep it up
    God bless all of us :)
    we are lucky.you know that?
