Opis

This book deliberates over the phenomenon of the growing interest of Arab modernists in the innovation of exegesis methodologies of the Quran. To this end the author tried to answer the following methodological queries: What are the underlying motives that make the Arab Modernists to be very solicitous theorists who urge for new different comprehension of the Quran? What is the extent of scientism and realism in their claims? What are their methodologies for comprehending the Quran? To what extent had these methodologies enabled them to comprehend the Quran without contradicting the spirit and objectives of shariah. Answering the above questions can be summarized in the following results: The vested interest of the modernists in religion is nothing more than casual interest dictated by the factual circumstances and the political and intellectual bickering against the mushrooming religious. current. There is a very conspicuous enmity on the part of the modernists towards the old methodology of exegesis though such antagonism does not stem from scientific convictions but rather it originates from intellectual bigotry and composite ignorance about Islam and its methodologies.
