Description
Hamid Mavani, Assistant Professor of Religion at Claremont Graduate University, introduces the Qur'an aas the timeless and inerrant word, revealed to the prophet Muhammed, that was intimately connected to the society of 7th century Arabia. Mavani suggests the speaking Qur'an embodies the values of the textual or silent Qur'an. He lists one of the cornerstones of Islam as the value of justice, which is found in the Qur'an as more important than differences of religion. He suggests that within Islam there is a "Qur'anic dualism"--the text calls for competition among good works and is inclusive of members of other religions, but also an "Islamic absolutism"--Islam itself is exclusive. Mavani also suggests that scholarship, particularly medieval scholarship, of Islam by Muslims should be reconsidered so as not to create heroes out of Qur'anic interpreters.
