What Is Meant Here
In this passage, Shahrur defines “the words of God” as objective existence and its laws in the universe and the human being. The atom’s title should therefore be read with its full qualification: objective existence and its laws, not the laws alone.
What Is Attributed to Shahrur
The cited passage provides a direct definition: “The words of God: objective existence and its laws in the universe and the human being.”
This is the limit established by the available material: it links “the words of God” to objective existence and to laws in the domains of the universe and the human being.
Atlas Explanation
This explanation retains both elements of the definition as stated: objective existence and its laws. The page therefore does not substitute one for the other, nor does it make “the words of God” synonymous with “the laws of existence” alone.
For reading in the context of the book and its conceptual trajectories: Muhammad Shahrur Drying Up the Springs of Terrorism, The Book, the Qur’an, and the Mother of the Book, and the human being.
Qualified Inference
The definition allows the phrase, in this specific passage, to be understood as referring to the reality of the universe and the human being and their laws. But this describes the referent in the cited passage; it is not a complete account of the term’s relations to the rest of Shahrur’s structure.
Open Question and Limits of the Evidence
The cited passage alone does not explain how Shahrur arrives at this definition, nor does it detail its relationship to the concepts of the Qur’an, the Book, or knowledge. The raw context is also unavailable in this package, while the text of the cited passage remains verified.
