Question university-controlled Islamic text? (5)
I believe the answer is:
quran
'islamic text?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'question university-controlled' is the wordplay.
'question' becomes 'q'.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'controlled' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in other clues).
'q'+'u'+'ran'='QURAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for quran that I've seen is " Islamic holy book".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
