Two thirds of this unique small book gives a careful précis of every part of the Islamic Qur’an.
One third of the book describes the life of Muhammad, how the Qur’an came to be, briefly what is in it and how it relates to humankind now and originally. It includes Islam and human rights and Islam and women and finishes by thinking of the future of humanity.
This smaller part is written more as a report, including summaries and analysis of what is in the Qur’an. It includes the author’s beliefs that working towards a good present and future for humankind should not be overridden by any religion. The early Muslim tradition of “ijtihad”, questioning, could still be valid.
