Présentation

Al-Khu’i (1899-1992) was one of the most respected Shi’i scholars of this century. This book, published in Arabic in 1974, presents al-Khu’is ideas on the interpretation of the Qur’an. In it, al-Khu’i treats many critical and controversial topics associated with the collection and canonization of the text, including the possible alterations to the Qur’an introduced by succeeding generations of reciters. Throughout, he stresses the importance of understanding the historical setting in which the Qur’an was revealed in order to apply its provisions appropriately in contemporary Muslim society.
