Allah: God in the Qur’an - Gabriel Said Reynolds

A concise and illuminating portrait of Allah from one of the worldâs leading Qurâanic scholars The central figure of the Qurâan is not Muhammad but Allah. The Qurâan, Islamâs sacred scripture, is marked above all by its call to worship Allah, and Allah alone. Yet who is the God of the Qurâan? What distinguishes the qurâanic presentation of God from that of the Bible? In this illuminating study, Gabriel Said Reynolds depicts a god of both mercy and vengeance, one who transcends simple classification. He is personal and mysterious; no limits can be placed on his mercy. Remarkably, the Qurâan is open to Godâs salvation of both sinners and unbelievers. At the same time, Allah can lead humans astray, so all are called to a disposition of piety and fear. Allah, in other words, is a dynamic and personal God. This eye-opening book provides a unique portrait of the God of the Qurâan.
