Book excerpt: Mohammed Arkoun (1928-2010) est l'une des plus grandes figures de l'islamologie contemporaine. Son approche scientifique, centrée sur la « critique de la raison islamique », a fait de lui le précurseur de tous ceux qui veulent en finir avec les impasses mortifères du littéralisme en se fondant sur l'apport des sciences humaines. LectureS du Coran, paru initialement en 1982, est un ouvrage-clé de sa démarche : il mobilise toutes les ressources de la linguistique, de la sémiotique, de l'histoire des mentalités et de la sociologie pour déconstruire le discours classique sur le Coran. Ce faisant, il aborde les sujets les plus brûlants : statut du Livre comme parole de Dieu, shar'a et condition de la femme, jihd, islam et politique... et montre en quoi toutes les lectures du Coran sont nécessairement des « constructions humaines ». Mohammed Arkoun considérait ce livre comme la matrice de son oeuvre et a consacré les dernières années de sa vie à le remanier et à l'enrichir. Son épouse, Touria Yacoubi-Arkoun, a pu réunir les ultimes versions de ces textes afin de permettre à cette édition définitive de voir le jour. Le résultat témoigne de la fécondité des pistes de recherches ouvertes près d'un demi-siècle plus tôt : cette oeuvre de visionnaire demeure d'une importance cruciale dans la lutte contre les fondamentalismes.
Download or read book The Qur an written by Massimo Campanini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Qur’an: Modern Muslim Interpretations offers a lucid guide to how Muslims have read the Qur’an in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Massimo Campanini explores early approaches to the understanding of the Qur’an, including that of the Salafis and the construction of the Islamic Renaissance Movement, contrasting the development of traditionalist and ‘scientific’ interpretations and examining the work of the phenomenologists who followed. This lively book explores the radical ideas of Sayyid Qutb and his followers, a significant part of what is known as political Islamism, and investigates the idea of exegesis as a liberation theology, through the work of Esack and Wadud. Students taking courses on the interpretation of the Qur’an will find this an invaluable aid to their study, and it is essential reading for all those interested in how Muslims have understood the Qur’an in the contemporary period.
Download or read book The Qur an Modern Science Compatible or Incompatible written by Zakir Naik and published by Peace Vision. This book was released on 2007 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the dawn of human life on this planet, Man has always sought to understand Nature, his own place in the scheme of Creation and the purpose of Life itself. In this quest for Truth, spanning many centuries and diverse civilizations, organized religion has shaped human life and determined to a large extent, the course of history. While some religions have been based on books, claimed by their adherents to be divinely inspired, others have relied solely on human experience. Al-Qur’aan, the main source of the Islamic faith, is a book believed by Muslims, to be of completely Divine origin. Muslims also believe that it contains guidance for all mankind. Since the message of the Qur’aan is believed to be for all times, it should be relevant to every age. Does the Qur’aan pass this test? In this booklet, I intend to give an objective analysis...
Download or read book Introduction la lecture du Coran written by Muhammad Hamidullah and published by Al Bayyinah. This book was released on with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un éditeur demanda au professeur Muhammad Hamidullah de traduire le Coran, sur recommandation de Louis Massignon. Dans un premier temps, il refusa, prétextant que le français n’était pas sa langue natale. Néanmoins, il changea d’avis, de peur qu’une personne mal intentionnée ne s’en charge à sa place. Un délai très court lui fut imparti. C’est ainsi qu’en six mois il traduisit le Coran, qui fut publié en 1959. Louis Massignon témoignera de la qualité de son travail par ces mots : « L'intérêt majeur que cette traduction du Coran présente, c’est qu'elle est l’œuvre réfléchie et mûrie d'un musulman, d'un penseur et d’un croyant que ce Livre Saint concerne personnellement. Il en vit, il veut le transposer en français comme il le récite en arabe ; avec une Foi nue. Ses phrases françaises sont un calque aussi strict que possible de la structure grammaticale arabe, particulièrement indépendante et capricieuse, du texte sacré. » Cette traduction historique fut précédée d’une notice introductive à la lecture du Coran, qui passe en revue tout ce qu’il faut connaître pour comprendre l’islam et l’histoire du Coran. Il y aborde la Révélation et ces différents types, l’histoire de la conservation du Coran et de la Sunna, compare le Livre sacré aux précédentes révélations et en quelques lignes nous enseigne la vie du Prophète. Les traductions sont aujourd’hui nombreuses, il nous a semblé judicieux de proposer aux lecteurs, qu’ils soient musulmans ou non, cette introduction à la lecture du Coran afin qu’ils soient accompagnés par les riches enseignements de notre regretté Professeur, qu’Allah lui fasse miséricorde.

Book excerpt: A RUSA 2007 Outstanding Reference Title The Qur'an is the source of inspiration for one of the world's major religions, followed today by over a billion people. It plays a central role in Islam and ever since it appeared fourteen hundred years ago has been the subject of intense debate. Some of this has been carried out by Muslims and some by those hostile or indifferent to Islam, producing a very wide range of views. Authored by forty-three international experts, the objective of The Qur'an: An Encyclopedia is to present this diversity of thought, approach and school without priority, in order to give a strong appreciation of the range of response that the text has provoked throughout its history and providing students and researchers with a powerful one-volume resource covering all aspects of the text and its reception. Islam and the Qur'an are much in the news today and there is a public debate going on in which things are said about the Qur'an without much knowledge or understanding of the book. Every effort has been made to help the reader use the Encyclopedia as an investigative tool in Quranic studies. The volume assumes no previous knowledge of the Qur'an, Islam or Arabic. Technical terms are explained in the text itself and the style of each entry is designed to be as self-contained as possible. Entries are cross-referenced and many include a brief bibliography. At the end of the work there is a substantial annotated bibliography providing a detailed guide to the most significant books, journals and articles in Qur'anic Studies. There is a full index. The readership will include those seeking basic information on the Qur'an, however the substantial number of longer entries means that it will also be used by specialists.

Download or read book Islam written by Jacques Waardenburg and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents some twenty essays on different aspects of Islam in history and the present. These essays are grouped into eight larger sections. The first, "The Beginnings", deals with the transition from pre-Islamic understandings and reason, an essential part of the Quranic message. The next two sections deal with Islam specifically as a religion with its particular signs and symbols. The question of rules of interpretation in Islam and its structural features is discussed here. Sections four and five deal with ethics in Islam, including Muslim identity and human rights, and certain social functions of Islam. Section six introduces some 19th and 20th century reform movements, with special attention given to developments in Saudi Arabia and the "puritan" characteristics of present-day Islamic revival movements. The final two sections discuss contemporary issues: Islamization processes and policies, Islamic ideologies, the ideologization of Islam, and the political uses of religion. Throughout the book the author shows the links between the religious and other interpretations and uses made of Islam and the contexts in which they are made. The Introduction signals some important developments in Islamic studies since World War II.
