FOREWORD
Tllc Mind AI-Qura'n Builds is one of those fcw books
which very successfully introduce the modern mind to Islam.
The first edition of the book was published by Dr. Abdul
Lateef himsell' in 1952.
Later in 1971, at the instance of Doctor Saheb, Villa
Academy ]lad the honour of bringing out a second enlarged
edition of the book, which carried an additional chapter
entit!ed 'The Call of the Qura'n'.
The need to make the book available to a mucli largc
number of readers has been felt for quite some time. It is
Inde33 a matter of great pltasure for mz that the Idarah-i
.4dabiyat-i DeIli has realized this need and is now bringiilg
out the next edition of the book.
Mr. Mohammad Ahrnnd deserves all our ;hanks forethis
considerate gcsturs and for br;aging out the book in such an
attractive format.
It is expected that the scholars and students of Is'2mie
Studies would benefit to the full from this important
publication.
In the brief span of our own lifetime, we have experienced
two wotld wan and are now as r matter of coum looking for-
ward to a third. It is true that those who came out victorious in
the first, talked of ending dl wan and created a machinery of
me, the League of Nations, and when that proved of no avail
1 they found themselves cngagd in another war, a more
ious affair than tbe first, a ~ dwere triumphant a'pin, they
rated to their talk of ,ending wars, and set up another machi-
#y,the United Nations Organbation, holding out tbe hope
~tthings would improve and the world return to peace. That

CHAPTER-I
$Hcourw, the boy bcame a free man and Omar want his
way. But the question may a s well be asked: How maay of
us, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, in all stations and walks
of life, bow many brilliant products of our Universities, how
maay oftbose who cooduct to-day the affairs of their countties,
indced,how many of those who have subscribed to the Charter
sfthe United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights have attained that stage of mind or attitude which th:s
Piegro boy of 1301) years back had reached or have felt the same
m s e of God and held thtrnselvcs responsible to Him in ail that
f'rey b a ~ thought
~: or done in their scveral lives?
But the net result, the legacy o f the p s t . such as ~t it. is what
has t o be faced to-day. The lines oi thought laid down a thousand
years ago have, in spit: of reformatitry attempts made evc:y now
a ~ then
d t o temould the Muslim mind on Qur'auic lines, vitiated
the entire course of Muslim thought and history. The QilrOanis
read parrot-like in most Muslim homes. It is explained in every
mosque from week to week. Its l a n g u a ~ eis employed in every
daily prayer. But the sense of the word reart, rccircd. or ex-
plained is not always the original Qur'anic scnu. It is the sense ,

For. says the Qur'an:
By the time-
~urel~,'man is generally inclined to a way oflve harmful
to himself (which he realisednot in time).
This is npt so with those who believe in God and do what
is right And enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each
other steadfastness (in moments of trial}. (Q. 103:1&3)
And surely will we test you with somewhat of fear and
hunger ilnd loss of property and livesund crops, 'but give
good tidings to the steodfit in patience. ( 0. 2155)
''J say, this is the only true morality known. A mdn is righ

The picture of Heaven and Hel! which the Qur'an conveys '
through itsamthal is that of two differr nt states ofthe human soul
set in an environment different from that in which its present life
is lived. A convcrration of the I'rophet with a messenger .from
Heracleus, rccordcd by Imam Fakhruddin R azi in his Tafsir-i-
Kobir under verse 3.127 throws light on the view advanced. Ref-
erring to the verse. "And hasten for forgiveness from your Lord
and for a Paradise vast as the heavens and thc earth prepared for
tbose who are mindful o f Godw.(Q. 3: 133) the Roman rrpresenta-
tivc asked: cgWher.edoes Hell exist if Paradise extends over the
heavens 2nd the car&?" Quietly the Prophet parried: s6Glorybe
to Allah: W h a e is the night when the day cornest"J
I may proceed a step further. According to the Qur'an
every one will have to pass through Hell. (Q. 19:71) It is conten-
ded by thc orthodox commentators that tho text refers' t o a bridge
over Heii which. as stated in a hadith,4 one has to cross on the
Day of Judgment-an idea which curiously runs paralle1,to what
p i e ~ l i l ~indearly Zorastriaoism.5 he Qur'an, may it be pointed
out, makes no mention of such a bridge whatsoever. Even so,
the contention that Hell and Heavcn are but two different states
of the soul in the life hereafter is upheld by the very hadith
which provides a bridge across Hell: for, to the Faichftrl, Hell
will say: "Crou the bridge, 0 true believer, for thy light hath
put cmt my fire'. The issue is clarified by Jalaluddin Kuxci. tbe
poct rod mystic in &s Mathnawi 11, 2554-2568:
wilt promote spiritual elevation; the evil deed, its own doGn-
ward fceling. If man could but realise the ugliness of his deed
before bis death and fee~sincereiy.repentant,and retrace his steps,
there is always the grace of God t o bring him peace of mind.
.God truly lvill not spoil any one even by a particle and i/
tlzere be any gooa done, he will requit it two-fold and of
His own accord will He bestow a great reward (Q.4:401
"Allah will then say ; The angels and the Prophet and
the faithful, they will have intercededfor the sinners and
now there remains none to intercede for them except the
most merciful oaes. So, He will take out a handful
fromfire and bring out a people who never worked any

pursued. But cvcn he had not many years to give to tbe experi-
ment. He was assassinated by a migrant from Persia i i the IOth
year of his regiine. After him came Usman foliowed by Ali both
o f whom were assassinated in turn apparently as a sequcncr to
partizan rivalry. It is these first four khalifs who are styled the
rashidin the rightly guided. The period covered by their thilafat
dots not occupy more then thirty years. It is this period which
may properly be called the period o f democradc experiment in
Islamic polity.

the spirit underlying it rising t o a ckmax in the
time of Qmar and reaching its final cu!mination in the assassina-
tion of Aji.
Thc task will not end there. The ratoration of the original
picture or of the re-discovery of the Islam of jhc ~ r o i h e will

*be right hour for a proper re-orientauon of 'the Islamic thought
idr terms of the complex needs of the modern world. For, without
this prior restor~rion,every attempt at re-orientation will be but
a patch-work as was the case with every attempt at ijrehad made
so far, whether in the distant past or in recent times. The stumb-
ling block in the way has always been the dross that has .been
allowcd to cling to the gold in the W t h literature. Much of thb
is Judaic, Magian, Nestorian, o r Nco-platonic in origin, wilfully
attributed to the Prophet giving rise to beliefs and practices so
alien t o the csrential spirit of the Qur'an. Uatil the gold is sifted
from that which is foreign to it and a single authorized corpus of
hadith literature and an cquall~authorized exegesis of the Qur'an
are preparcd by the jcins: czorrs of competent scholars enjoying
the requisite confidence of at least the governments of independent
~ u s l i mcountaes, an attempt at re-orientation of the Islamic relig-
ious thought and codification of a comm-Jnbasicfiqh for the entire
lrn~matis not likely t o produce the d sired result.
ings is a t the basis of his politics and no one has t5t chance of
winniog ham except through that door.
Within the last few years, there has been a trend in quite
the opposite direction. Recently, ct>rtainconcessions have
been made to the h a n d s of the orthodox M~slimleatlers.
Thejirst of these is the instituting of clrhrro/led religious
ed2cation. The original idea wcs that qeligious classes for
the fourth and fifrh grades were to be voluntary. Only
tltose who brought letters from their parents asking that
they *takethese classes niould be permitted to take tlwrn.
They would be, ?aught by the school teachers outside of
school hours. Through careful plunning it was anticipated
that religious education would not get back into the hands
of ~imaticialelement, which might seek to restore the old
religious law and do away with the reforms of the republic.
This year the religious education has been made compul-
sory. Parents must now present letters asking their ckilrb.cn
not to take classes, if they am to be excused. A second
concession has been the estabiishing of a theological f d ? y
TJfI:'TASK AHEAD
at the Universityof Ankara. It is claimed that the facurry
is going to be thoroughly modern and scientific. If it is to
he that, comparitive religion must be raught. If it is to be
modern and scientific, both textual and historical criticism
must be permiited. And if they are, m.11 nor the theological
/acuity be suiyected to the same pressures the exponents
of liberal Christianity expereinced in tne last centuryls
Acltls Mr. Kiagsley:
Until this past year, it was requiredby law that the call
qf prayer also be given in Turkish. .But this reform never
really took hold The call t o prayer is now given in Ara-
b . I don't remember having talked with a single Turk
who likes the Qur'an read in Turkish. The Qur'an is still
in Arabic, with no translation, no explanation. It is simply ,
words in a language uhat the Turks do not understand at
all. And yet the warmth of real emotion is dbnveyed by the
words intoned u, ~babic.8
I have cited the example of Turkey just to emphasise that
even in a country the government o f which had deliberately
planned to go completely West, her people' would not allow
themselves to lose sight of their cultural woorings. The thought-
ful members of the community in almost every Muslim country
have been seriously thinking of dropping mediaevalism of their
own volition and of reorientating their social thought on the
bayis of the Qur'an with a view to meeting the complex needs
of [he modcrn world. And if in this attempt they have to apply
textual and historical criticism to the study of their sources of
theological knowledge, as Mr, Birge thinks the new tlleological
facrvlty of the University of Ankara m a y have to do, the gain
will be all the greater for Islam. If this should rake a concerted
form as suggested already, it may lead to a common basic fiqh
for all Muslims, and the return of Turkey to a reohentated
shariat. If once the gold is sifted from the dross, and the Muslim
comes into his own, I dare say, the Islamic world will not hesitate
to accept whatsoever that is in consonance with the Qus'm from
he democratic life of the West and feel ready to give some-
THE MIND ALQUReAN BUILDS
rbihg to it in return wbich the W est clearly lacks, something
wbich may spiritualize not merely its notioos of democracy; but
i t 8 economic foundations as well. If the U.S.A. is anxious t o
prevent comn~unismf r ~ m spreading itlro the Muslim countries,
let her in good-will co-operare wrth them in developing their
economic level. The rcst may be Icft to themselves; for to go
beyond and try at the same time t o win them to Western values
of life, whatever they are, w ~ l prove
l a tedious and ill the long
rrnn a t'naoklcss task. The better cotirse is to win the countries
of the free world to the world values implicit in the Universal
Declaration of Hum-n Rights to which thcy are all pledged; and
this is poss~blenot by a trrciess scheming against a rival world but
by a process of self-purification.
Already twenty fiveyears havc passed since the Charter o f
the United Nations was signed, and over twenty two years since
the Universal rleclaration of Human Rights was subscribed to by
the nations of the World. And yet the task s f i~nplementingtheir
provisions and of bringing pbiysical, moral and intellectual frec-
dom to the common man has not made much head.way. It is true
that a commisson of Human Rights was set up to devise ways
and meaus ot'irnple~nentin~ the Declaration. But for one reason,
or another, the efforts of the Commission havc not been allowed
t o bear fruit. The military op:rations in Korea and South East
haia anJ the problems arising oat of the affairs in the Middle
East and North Africa resulting-in intcrnationa! tcusions and the
adoption of security measures in different ccunlrien are cited as a
ground for the restriction o f liberty in several parts of the world
and the slow proe;rcss made in irnplemcnting the Oeclaration But
the actual reasons are deeper than that. says M. Rene Cassin.
Vice-Chairman of the U.N. Commission on Humad Rights.
