The Quran and the People of the Book (Religious Non-Muslims) - E-book - ePub

1) This book shows that the Quran, 1400 years ago, has produced such a miracle in the field of human rights, other universal values and religious literature that even today, there is no book like it anywhere. 2) Yes, weak hadith narrations and sectarian understandings have become such a curtain for the Quran that, just as the Quran is untouched in many matters; matter of these People of the Book are also untouched. 3) And since the Quran was not understood on this subject, even many religious scholars and Muslim leaders did not see the People of the Book as having equal rights with Muslims in social life and as people of salvation.
They called them people of Hell. 4) And because of this point, all dialogue and alliance attempts have always been political and hypocritical. Except for the attempts of some Sufis and spiritual leaders... As a student of the Quran, I prepared this book, despite all the impossibilities, just to reveal the virginity of the Quran and to contribute to the universal peace (Sulh-u Umumiye, in Ottoman terms) that the world longs for.
This preparation is not something that was written hastily. It is the product of forty years of scientific knowledge and twenty-five years of writing on this subject. Therefore, it is not a political project as some might think. Yes, I seek refuge in God from wasting my life in this mortal world.
