Produktinformationen "Qur'an Liberation and Pluralism"
Set against one of the most exciting events in world history- the demise of apartheid- this book offers a fascinating account of how South African Muslims succeeded in both co-operating with members of other faith communities in thr struggle against oppression and being true to their faith. Farid Esack reflects on key Qur'anic passages used in the context of oppression to rethink the role if Islam in a plural society. He exposes how traditional interpretations of the Qur'an, which denied virtue outside Islam, were used to legitimise an unjest order, and demonstrates that those very texts, if interpreted within a contemporary socio-historical context, support active solidarity with the religious other for change. This book offers scholars, students and all those concerned with Islam in the modern world a fascinating insight into contemporary issues.
