Hardback. Condition: New. In this fascinating study of the origins of Islam, historian Mondher Sfar reveals that there is no historical, or even theological, basis for the orthodox view that Muhammad or his earliest followers intended the Koran to be treated as the inviolable word of God. With great erudition and painstaking historical research, Sfar demonstrates that the Koran itself does not support the literalist claims of Muslim orthodoxy. Indeed, as he carefully points out, passages from Islam's sacred book clearly indicate that the revealed text should not be equated with the perfect text of the original "celestial Koran," which was believed to exist only in heaven and to be fully known only by God. This early belief helps to explain why there were many variant texts of the Koran during Muhammad's lifetime and immediately thereafter, and also why this lack of consistency and the occasional revisions of earlier revelations seemed not to disturb his first disciples. They viewed the Koran as only an imperfect copy of the real heavenly original, a copy subject to the happenstances of Muhammad's life and to the human risks of its transmission. Only later, for reasons of social order and political power, did the first caliphs establish an orthodox policy, which turned Muhammad's revelations into the inerrant word of God, from which no deviation or dissent was permissible. This original historical exploration into the origins of Islam is also an important contribution to the growing movement for reform of Islam initiated by courageous Muslim thinkers convinced of the necessity of bringing Islam into the modern world.…

Hardcover. 23,5 16 cm. Original hardback with golden back title and illustrated original dust jacket in color. 152 pages. Good condition. Orthodox muslims venerate the Koran as the sacred word of God which is dictated from archangel Gabriel to Muhammad. The author shows that there is no historical or theological basis for the orthodox view, because the prophet and his scholars did not take a literalist view of the Koranic text; he traces the origins of the book and the different scholarly interpretions. -- Bitte Portokosten außerhalb EU erfragen! / Please ask for postage costs outside EU! / S ' il vous plait demander des frais de port en dehors de l ' UE! // Bitte beachten Sie auch unsere Fotos! / Please also note our photos! / Veuillez noter nos photos -- Genießen Sie den goldenen Herbst!

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Sich Fragen zur Authentizität des Korans zu stellen, zählt heute als Gotteslästerung; es ist ein besonders schlimmes Sakrileg gegenüber einem der Hauptdogmen des Islams, ja sogar gegenüber den beiden wichtigsten, dem Glauben an Gott und an seinen Propheten. Dieses Tabu, das die Geschichte des Korans umgibt, hat indes gar keine theologische Rechtfertigung, die aus dem geoffenbarten Text hervorginge, ja nicht einmal einen historischen Grund, gibt uns doch die islamische Tradition selbst eine beeindruckende Menge Informationen über die sehr ernsten Probleme, die mit der Übermittlung des Korantextes bis heute zu tun haben.Mit seiner gleichermaßen mutigen wie furiosen Kritik an den traditionellen Dogmen über den Koran bricht Mondher Sfar mit der liebgewonnenen Vorstellung von einem göttlichen und unveränderlichen Buch ohne Geschichte:»Was den Koran angeht, sind die heutigen Muslime ganz und gar unwissend, dasselbe gilt auch für ihre Kenntnisse über Mohammed. Was sie nur kennen, sind mythische Klischees, die an Stelle von historischen Berichten stehen. Die Heiligkeit, mit der sie den Korantext umgeben, hindert sie gleichsam physisch daran, den Text zu verstehen und zu entdecken, dass er Bedeutungen hat, deren Erkenntnis die Orthodoxie nicht genehmigt. Das hindert sie auch, zu erkennen, dass der Koran eine Geschichte hat, welche die ersten Muslime auf ihre Art umgestaltet haben, so dass wir heute daran gehindert werden, ihn besser zu verstehen.«.…
