Le génie de l'islam: initiation à ses fondements, sa spiritualité et son histoire

By Tariq Ramadan. 2015

DAISY audio (CD), DAISY audio (Direct to player), DAISY audio (Zip)
Religion, Islam

Pas un jour sans que l'on entende parler de l'islam. Pourtant, cette religion reste particulièrement mal connue. Et les musulmans… sont souvent sommés de se justifier sur ce que l'islam n'est pas. Cette initiation à l'islam a pour objectif d'introduire, de la façon la plus simple et la plus exacte, à l'islam, à ses principes, ses rituels, son histoire, sa diversité et son évolution, comme aux défis contemporains auxquels les musulmans font face. Didactique et accessible, cet essai n'a nulle visée apologétique, seulement informative. En retraçant l'histoire de l'islam, en expliquant ses références fondamentales, Tariq Ramadan présente un paysage fourni et détaillé de ce qu'il faut savoir sur l'islam : son Message, ses Textes, la vie de son Prophète, l'oeuvre de ses successeurs, le sens des mots islam, sharî'a et jihâd, les piliers de la foi, les règles sociales et spirituelles, etc. Sans perdre de vue les défis contemporains auxquels l'islam est confronté, il fait tomber préjugés et croyances infondées. L'ouvrage se complète d'un glossaire, d'un index et d'un abécédaire des idées reçues. 2015.
