Full-Length Text Inquiries about Islam by Shaykh Mohamad Jawad Chirri Views: 52686
An exchange of letters that took place between the Muslim scholar, Imam Mohamad Jawad Chirri, and Dr. Wilson H. Guertin, that led Dr. Guertin to accept Islam. Writes Dr. Guertin: "If you are a Muslim, read this book out of the obligation to acquire knowledge. If you are a Jew or Christian, read it for the same devout motive. Comparative study of religions may be unsettling if your belief in God is based upon non-rational grounds but can only have the ultimately desired result of strengthening your belief. The pervasive belief in God as represented in our motives must be the goal which our religious educators work toward, with gains in sectarian support becoming quite secondary... If you are unable to say that you believe in God, you can still find value in the study of religion. In the following pages of dialogue, you will be pursuing some of the most important concerns of mankind that can be traced back to the beginning of recorded history. The thoughts and historical events are important in their own right, and perhaps you will, as I have, find the way to a belief in God through them."

Full-Length Text L'Essere Umano nel Corano by Martire Ayatullah Morteza Motahhari [Italian] Views: 3665
L’Essere Umano nel Corano analizza il rango dell’essere umano nella visione Islamica del mondo.
Secondo l’Islam gli esseri umani non sono considerati esclusivamente come animali dalla statura eretta che possiedono unghie piatte, camminano su due gambe e parlano. Com’è scritto nel Sacro Corano, essi sono molto più complessi e misteriosi di quanto la parola “essere umano” possa lasciare intendere.
Nel Sacro Libro gli esseri umani sono elogiati e, allo stesso tempo, biasimati ripetutamente: per loro vengono utilizzati i migliori encomi e i peggiori rimproveri. Essi sono considerati superiori ai cieli, alla terra e agli angeli e, allo stesso tempo, inferiori alle bestie da soma e ai demoni; sono considerati delle creature in grado di conquistare il mondo e di mettere al proprio servizio gli angeli, eppure così deboli da poter sprofondare nella più infima bassezza.
Sono gli esseri umani, quindi, che devono decidere per se stessi e determinare il loro destino ultimo.
