Islamic Theological Themes: A Primary Source Reader

Manufacturer: Quranite

The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation sheds new and much needed light on the message of the Qur'an; light hitherto impeded by dogma originating entirely outside the Qur'anic narrative, but required by Traditionalist Islam. Traditionalist Islam claims: – That the Qur'an may be understood only by reference to a later literature called the hadith – That, taken together, the Qur'an and the hadith provide the foundation for what is called Islam – That Islam is a religion in the sense of prescribed dogma, rite and custom – That by adhering to Islam one aligns oneself with the guidance contained in the Qur'an – That Islam’s emphasis on a Caliphate under Sharia Law originates in the Qur'an The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation illustrates where and how such claims – as well as others Traditionalist Islam makes – are at unambiguous variance with the Qur'an.
