The central theme is that the Quran has to be read, interpreted and understood not excludively in its historical context. It should also be understood to be conducive to the needs of modern society. Furthermore, no thinking person can deny that the Islamic scripture, considered by the Muslims as valid for all periods, must be interpreted and applied in accordance with the needs of the period in which we live. Otherwise it may not satisfy the claim of its universality for all times. Properly interpreted and understood it can be a guide for its followers within the framework of the changing times. Life is not a constant phenomenon and its needs, problems and solutions also require a dynamic perspective. Then the Quran can be a great force among Muslim societies to promote the wellbeing of people and human dignity without any distinction on the basis of religions. In that broader context, the philosophy and explanations in the book are valid even for the religions other than the three Abramic faiths. ### ⭐⭐⭐ An attempt at contemporary reading *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2016* In reading through the book the author gives a much needed historical narrative of the process of bridging the Quran to the non-Arabic speaking reader.The author also tries to present the Quran in a modern way through a contemporary reading.I think the reading although contemporary is not innovative and does not provide the reader with a complete system or way to read on his own. He still resorts to studying opinions of various scholars and choosing among them.To me, a native speaker of Arabic I didn't find it innovative and methodical enough. I would recommend the writings of Mohammad Shahrour although only one is available in English for free on the webShahrour.org ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by S***I on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2017* Ziauddin is always superb.
