CONCILIATION IN THE QUR AN - SHAFI FAZALUDDIN K...

Conciliation in the Qur an addresses an existing imbalanced focus in Islamic Studies on
conflict in the Qur an  and moves beyond a restrictive approach to sulh (reconciliation) as a
mediation process in fragmented social contexts. The book offers a critical analysis of
conciliation as a holistic concept in the Qur an  providing linguistic and structural insight
based on the renowned pre-modern Arabic exegesis of Al-Razi (d. 1209) and the under-studied
contemporary Urdu exegesis of Islahi (d. 1997). This ambitious thematic study of the entire Qur
an includes an innovative examination of the central ethical notion of ihsan (gracious conduct)
and a challenging discussion of notorious passages relating to conflict. The author offers
solutions to unresolved issues such as the significance of the notion of islah (order)  the
relationship between conciliation and justice  and the structural and thematic significance of
Q.48 (Surat Al-Fath) and Q.49 (Surat Al-Hujurat). Conciliation in the Qur an offers a
compelling argument for the prevalence of conciliation in the Islamic scripture  and will be an
essential read for practitioners in Islamic studies  community integration  conflict-resolution
interfaith dialogue and social justice.
