Religion is a gregarious institution. It has provided mankind with a conscience and an ideal to strive for, and a society with a value system that could act as the backbone of its existence. The relevance of a religion, hence, needs to be evaluated both from the context of its origin and present day societal needs. Islam had been a product of its own time. The ‘ulama understood the Qur’an and formulated various legal, social and political issues in the light of contextual Qur’anic pronouncements. However, Muslims till today consider these proclamations co-eternal with the Qur’an, and are unable to transcend the past. This book reflects on and re-evaluates various socially relevant topics of present times by bringing out the transcendental nature of the Qur’an and relating them to the demands of the contemporary world. Written lucidly, this well-researched and informative book will be a delightful read for scholars, students of Islamic Study, social scientists, as well as lay readers.
