Hardback. Condizione: 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. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Mondher Sfar is critical of the Muslim doctrine of the authenticity of the Koran and the immutability of the text. He cites several reasons for this: The Quran itself claims that it is only a copy of another authentic text preserved in heaven but inaccessible to humans. God proclaims that he allowed himself to change expressions of the text, that he even inspired his prophet with false verses, that he himself introduced ambiguous verses. Also, the Quran deals with numerous, specific questions about the personal relationship between the Prophet Muhammad and his political, religious, social, and family entourage, which, contrary to orthodox Muslim teaching, underscores the temporary, not eternal, nature of the Quran. The detailed study also shows that the current text bears traces of many changes and insertions. Mondher Sfar, born in Tunis in 1950, has lived in exile in Paris since 1974. He graduated from the Sorbonne with a Diplome Superieur in History and a PhD from the Faculty of Philosophy. He has since specialized in the comparative anthropology of Middle Eastern religions.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Orthodox Muslims venerate the Koran as the sacred word of God, which they believe was literally revealed by dictation from the angel Gabriel to the prophet Muhammad. This fundamentalist attitude toward the Muslim holy book denies the possibility of error in the Koran - even though there are some fairly obvious self-contradictions, inconsistencies, and incoherent passages in the text. To justify the claim that the Koran is inerrant, the orthodox have simply pointed to centuries of hidebound tradition and the consensus view of conservative leaders who back up this interpretation. But does the very beginning of the Muslim tradition lend support to the orthodox view? 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.
