The demise of apartheid in South Africa in the 1980s followed an
unprecedented unity in struggle against oppression from members of
different faith traditions. Determined as South African Muslims
were to participate with the rest of the oppressed in solidarity
against apartheid, this brought them into conflict with
interpretations of the Qur'an that denied virtue outside Islam, and
left them searching for a theology that would allow them to both
co-operate against injustice and be true to their faith. In this
challenging account, Farid Esack reflects on key qur'anic passages
used in the context of oppression to rethink the role of Islam in a
plural society. He exposes how traditional interpretations of the
Qur'an were used to legitimize an unjust order, and demonstrates
that those very texts used to support religious intolerance, if
interpreted within a contemporary socio-historical context, support
active solidarity with the religious Other for change.
