Yuksel reintroduces the actual message of the Quran. He removes the accumulated layers of man-made dogmas and traditions that have attached themselves to the text.
Edip Yuksel est un auteur et militant américano-turco-kurde dont l'œuvre aborde une profonde réforme de l'Islam. Ses écrits explorent souvent une interprétation rationnelle et monothéiste du Coran, remettant en question les doctrines traditionnelles et recherchant une voie vers une compréhension pacifique. Le travail de Yuksel se caractérise par son approche intellectuelle et son effort pour purifier la pensée islamique des dogmes et de l'extrémisme. Les lecteurs le rencontrent comme un penseur qui n'a pas peur de poser des questions fondamentales et de chercher la vérité par la pensée critique et la logique.






Yuksel reintroduces the actual message of the Quran. He removes the accumulated layers of man-made dogmas and traditions that have attached themselves to the text.
Code 19 was hidden in the 74th chapter of the Quran and discovered by the author's colleague, Dr. Rashad Khalifa, an Egyptian-American biochemist, in 1974. The code suggests a "Copernican revolution" in theology of religions. Instead of Krishna-centered, Jesus-centered, or Muhammad-centered religions, people must turn to the original center, to the God-centered model.
The book explores the intricate numerical system within the Quran, particularly focusing on the significance of the number 19, revealed through computerized analysis in 1974. Edip Yüksel addresses critiques from notable skeptics and scholars, emphasizing the profound mathematical patterns interwoven in the text. The author argues that the complexity and improbability of these patterns challenge the notion of human authorship, showcasing the Quran's literary and scientific merits. This exploration aims to deepen appreciation among believers while sparking controversy among critics.
The Reformist Translation of the Quran offers a non-sexist and non-sectarian understanding of the divine text that explicitly rejects the authority of the clergy to determine the likely meaning of disputed passages and uses logic and the language of the Quran itself as the ultimate authority in determining likely meanings.
Profesyonel din adamlari, insanlari Kuran'dan uzaklastirmak icin; Kuran'in zor ve anlasilmaz oldugu yalanini yuzyillarca empoze ettiler. Bu yuzden de; Kuran'in anlasilmasi icin yuzlerce ciltlik rivayet kitaplarinin didik didik edilmesi gerektigine kananlar, Kuran'i ogrenmeye vakit bulamadilar. Vakit bulanlar ise kafalarini binlerce hurafeyle doldurduklarindan ve ustelik Kuran'i bunlara muhtac kabul ettiginden, onu anlama sansini bastan kaybettiler. Turkce meallerin hepsinde bulunan ortak yanlislarin sebebini inceledigimizde karsimiza genellikle uydurma rivayetler cikmaktadir. Cok ender olarak da birbirlerinden dikkatsiz yapilan kopyalar ortak yanlislara neden olmaktadir. Ornegin, hemen hemen tum Turkce Kuran meallerinin sure fihristinde, bazi surelerin ayet sayilarinda ortak matbaa hatalari mevcuttur. Ornegin, 96 ayetlik Vakia suresi yanlislikla 69 ayet, 24 ayetlik Hasr suresi yanlislikla 34 ayet olarak gosterilmistir. Kitap sayesinde; Arapca bilmeyen okuyucular dahi, Kuran'i anlama ko
