Reason and self-doubt in Surat al-Kahf
“Shall I tell you about those who lose the most with their deeds?”
Moses
Arabic language, the balance of reason and meaning
“Humanity is threatened when pure reason lacks values and pure meaning lacks rationality.”
The divine medium as the path to lasting reform
“Pharaoh fooled his people and they obeyed him. Verily, they were defiant sinners.”
The medium of the Quran is itself the message
“There was a prophet among the prophets who wrote script.”
From the intellect of Ibrahim to the leadership of Muhammad
“The Sunnah is the method of balancing conflicting values as Ibrahim reconciled creation with revelation.”
