Product description

The book / The Miracle or the Sleep of the Mind in Islam, by the author / George Tarabishi, analyzes the fundamental historical transformation in Islam from a religion that presents the Quran as an intellectual and rhetorical miracle, to a religion immersed in sensory and material miracles. It follows the inflation of prophetic and Imamate miracle narratives over the centuries, and argues that this shift towards the logic of constant violation of natural laws led to "the resignation of the mind" and hindered the possibility of an Arab Islamic scientific revolution. The book ends with a call for a Quranic reading that reconciles with the mind and the era, shedding light on a decisive historical mechanism in the crisis of modernization.
