Description
This book sheds light on the internal mechanism of reason’s resignation in Islam, but it leaves the door open to a Quranic re-reading that would enable Islam to reconcile with the times and the modern scientific spirit.
What distinguishes Quranic Islam from evangelical Christianity and biblical Judaism is the absence of the prophetic miracle. The Quran itself is the only miracle in the Quran, as a rational, non-material miracle. However, in the context of competition with the two monotheistic religions based on the proof of the prophetic miracle, and with the conquests that brought various non-Arabic-speaking nations to Islam, the Quranic rational, rhetorical miracle alone was no longer sufficient to strengthen faith. Thus, material miracles were attributed to the Prophet, and their number continued to increase century after century, until later biographers estimated them at three thousand.
