Quran For The West

di Larz Trent (Autore)

AHZURIA PUBLISHING, 2023

"This comprehensive book seeks to analyze the multiple aspects of Islam and Muslim civilization in a broad, deep, and balanced manner. The author provides a concise yet substantial overview of the history of Islam from its origins with Muhammad in the 7th century, through the remarkable medieval expansion, to the challenges of the modern and contemporary era. The central pillars and practices of the Muslim religion, its main internal divisions, the role and status of women over the centuries, as well as the complex historical and current relationships between the Islamic world and the West are examined in detail. Throughout the work, the intellectual richness of Islam and its often overlooked cultural and theological diversity is evident, challenging simplistic and stereotypical views. The author argues that Islam has the potential to positively contribute to the construction of a more just and peaceful world, provided that progressive thinkers and leaders reclaim the ethical and rational spirit contained in the Quran and prophetic tradition, dynamically reconciling faith and modernity without ruptures with the Muslim cultural identity. Written in an accessible style, with careful research into Islamic sources, the book aims to foster better intercultural understanding, combating unfounded misconceptions and generalizations. Its attentive and impartial reading is recommended for all those seeking a solid understanding of this important religious tradition that influences the lives of over 1.5 billion people worldwide.
