Abstract

This article examines Muhammad Shahrur's controversial book, "Rethinking the Qur'an: Towards a Rational Understanding," which advocates for a reinterpretation of the Quran through a contemporary lens. It assesses Shahrur's methodology, key arguments, and the reception of his work, considering both its scholarly contributions and the criticisms it has faced. The analysis argues that Shahrur's emphasis on reason and historical context offers a fresh perspective on Quranic interpretation, but raises concerns about potential inconsistencies and the implications for traditional Islamic scholarship.
