Sheikh
Abdul Muezz Abdul Sattar of Qatar, in his in-depth study on
the Quran and the Old
Testament, compares the concept of human freedom, its range and depth
in both religious books. Various shades of human freedom like
religious pluralism, women’s rights, civil and political rights
conceptualised by the Quran and the Bible are studied within an
objective perspective in the interest of religious dialogue and
harmony. Backed up by the techniques of comparative religious studies
and superb reasoning, Sheikh Abdul Muezz deconstructs many of
Orientalist and right-wing charges against the Quran. The book is an
asset for anyone interested in challenging the Islamophobic discourse
that is so prevalent in today’s public space; and for those
interested in Islam, the book offers an illuminating worldview of the
Quran, rooted in the oneness of God and universal brotherhood.
