The central thesis of the book is that understanding the Qur’an does not begin from inherited tradition but from reconstructing its terminology and internal structure, as shown in The text’s terminological structure establishes the internal distinction within revelation and Revelation is fixed in its wording yet renewed in its historical understanding and The sent-down and the revealed determine how the Qur’an appears in consciousness and history. From this basis emerges a comprehensive conception of the world, the human being, and legislation, as in Objective existence and the free human being complement one another in the Qur’anic vision and Human knowledge progresses from sensation to abstraction and resists illusion and Qur’anic legislation is liminal, flexible, and directed toward changing reality. The picture is completed by linking revelation to historical report, civilization, beauty, and the arts, as in The Qur’anic and Muhammadan narratives are a field for moral lesson, not legislation and The Qur’an and human civilization converge in art, urbanism, and history.
