When the genius speaks...
Do not listen to the imitators whispering.

Dr. Mohammed Shahrour - A Word for History

They say, "God said," and they explain it as if the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions were the authors!

Oh, my brother, God is exalted and supreme. You should understand it. This book came in the seventh century, but it will remain until the Day of Judgment. This means that this book is formulated in a way that whenever time changes, it is to be reread and new things are to be discovered in it that were not seen before!

Islam is valid in every time and place. We must study it! I mean, is the center of Islam the wise revelation? I am... I am talking about the rulings now, not about the Quran...

I studied the rulings in the wise revelation and found that there is no ruling in the "prevailing" jurisprudence that is consistent with the wise revelation. Jurisprudence is something completely different...

Marriage... it's not like the revelation...

Divorce... it's not like the revelation...

Pay attention!...

Inheritance... it's not like the revelation...

Bequests... it's not like the revelation...

Punishments... they're not like the revelation...

What more do you want!...

"Knowledge is a prisoner of its tools"

What do I mean by "a prisoner of its tools"? The eye is a tool of knowledge. You see things with your own eyes, but you are a captive of your eye. You see what it sees...

Now, you use a microscope... the microscope shows you something else... You have become a captive of the microscope!

So, knowledge is a prisoner of its tools...

Have the tools of knowledge changed or not?! The tools of knowledge have advanced. (Nowadays, humans have artificial intelligence at their fingertips, bringing up the vocabulary of a book containing 6,236 verses in less than a second.) Compare this tool to "candlelight and manual scrutiny" in the time of the early scholars 20 years ago, let alone the 700-800 years that have passed.

This means that the tools of knowledge and knowledge systems have changed... The formulations of the Quran... these are fifty years that I have confirmed... The formulations of the Quran are adapted to various cognitive contexts.

Dr. Mohammed Shahrour

And this applies to all contemporary eras of mankind.

"By time, indeed, mankind is in loss, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds and advise each other to truth and advise each other to patience." (Quran 103:1-3)

If someone examines the words of the man that are formulated from gold, they will find that if they read them 10 times, they will benefit from them a hundred times.
