The Qur’an, Orientalism, and the Encyclopaedia of the Qur’an by Muzaffar Iqbal (Founder-president of the Center for Islam and Science, Canada)

Submitted by on March 17, 2010 – 6:15 amNo Comment

Built on the characteristic biases, claims, and false premises of the Orientalists, Encyclopedia of the Quran is a non-representative, discourteous, scandalous, and blasphemous hodgepodge of disparate material. It draws its material content from diverse Muslim and non-Muslim sources, but pours all of this material into a mould cast by the founding fathers of Orientalism—men whose understanding of religion in general and Islam in particular continues to dominate the field. They no longer openly call the most Noble Messenger of Allah an imposter and the Quran a forgery, as they used to two hundred years ago, but they are saying the same thing in a slightly refined language. They desire to extinguish the Light of Allah with their mouths; but Allah has willed to spread His Light in all its fullness, however hateful this may be to the disbelievers.
