This book presents an anthropological study of the Qur'an, offering
an unprecedented challenge to some of the epistemological and
metaphysical assumptions of the tawhidic discourses. Combining
primary textual materials and anthropological analysis, this book
examines transcendence as a core principle of the Qur'an, uniquely
signified in the divine name al-Quddus (the Holy). It shows how the
tawhidic representations of Allah constitute an inversion of this
attribute; examines how this inversion has been conceived,
authorized, and maintained; and demonstrates how it has affected
Islamic thinking and practices, especially as relates to authority.
This book also explores how a return to the Qur'anic primacy of
God's otherness as al-Quddus can influence Islamic thinking and
practices moving forward. Therefore, it will be highly useful to
scholars of Islamic Studies, philosophical theology, Qur'anic
studies, political science, ethics, anthropology, and religious
studies.
