Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl is one of the most distinguished and brilliant Islamic thinkers of our time, engaging Muslims and non-Muslims on numerous complex issues regarding the interpretation of the Islamic faith, law, and the Quran. In this interview, Dr. Safiyyah Ally probes him on several topics related to the Quran: how can we understand the Quran to have complete ethical coherence in its overall message? What has motivated Dr. Abou El Fadl to undertake Project Illumine: The Light of the Quran, the first direct-to-English Quran commentary (tafsir) in 40 years? In response, Dr. Abou El Fadl explains why each chapter of the Quran elevates human beings ethically beyond any specific period or historical moment. Likewise, he describes how the Prophet (peace be upon him) embodies in his legacy a living example of the content and function of God’s message as provided in the Quran. Uninterrupted and inseparable from self-conscious exegesis, the Quran’s message, described in each chapter, is brought to light with diverse explanations throughout this profound and extraordinary interview.
