Rezensionen / Stimmen
Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri's, 'The Essential Message of the Qur'an' invites the Western reader into a deep understanding this important sacred text. As much misunderstood as the Qur'an is today, particularly in the popular media, so much more so does its wisdom and spiritual message offer insight on our present challenges. Major themes are the deeply ecological basis of sacred\ creation, the unity of understanding and including all of the world's religious ideals, and the simple message of justice and caring for those less fortunate than ourselves. Much of this has been overlooked or ignored by those who wish to extract a merely political message from a sacred book, similar to the way in which this has been done with the Bible, the Gita and other sacred treasures of humanity. Friendly on the reader, The Essential Message of the Qur'an offers a short commentary on each of the Qur'an's major themes, linked to a selection of passages illustrating it. As such, it is a wonderful introduction for any person who wonders how to approach the living book and experience the blessing and wisdom experienced by millions around the world today.
