Author: Esack, Farid.
Title: Qur'an Liberation and Pluralism: An Islamic Perspective of Interreligious Solidarity Against Oppression.
Description: Oxford One World, 2002. Reprint ed. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. 288 pp. Farid Esack shows that the demise of apartheid in South Africa in the 1980s followed an unprecedented unity in struggle against oppression from members of different faith traditions. However South African Muslims were brought into conflict with the Qu'ran, which denied virtue outside Islam, and so did not allow them to co-operate with other oppressed groups. The author reflects on key Qur'anic (Koranic) passages used in the context of oppression to rethink the role of Islam in a plural society. ISBN: 1851681213
