Based on the author's earlier acclaimed work Exploring Islam in a
New Light: A View from the Quranic Perspective, this compact volume
with a new title seeks to provide a comprehensive, in-depth
description of Islam in a bold new light through the lens of the
Quran itself. The book presents a view of Islam that promotes
tolerance, pluralism, and peaceful interreligious co-existence,
justice, equality, compassion, and service to humanity - far too
removed from a fanatic, militant, misogynistic, and cruel image in
which it is so often portrayed in the West. The work is a blueprint
for wide-ranging reforms in practiced Islam, not only in the arenas
of sociomoral ethos and economic issues but also in various
religious beliefs and practices. Its major focus is on how we can
evolve spiritually - a subject that forms the core message of the
Quran. It promotes human freedom, human rights, human initiative
and enterprise, an exploitation-free free-market competitive
economic system, a broad socioeconomic welfare mechanism to rid the
world of poverty and deprivation, gender equality, and a humane
justice system. A major contention of the book is that the Hadith
is a major source of distortion of the message of the Quran. It
provides a compelling critique of this literature. The message of
the Quran, reinterpreted in the light of its worldview as well as
taking account of the changing context and times, calls for
fundamental reforms in numerous aspects of practiced Islam,
including doing away with archaic, harsh shariah rules. Finally,
the book suggests how we can bring about a revival of genuine
Islam.
