610 et 632 de l'ère chrétienne. Est-il besoin de souligner l'importance aujourd'hui de comprendre ce que dit ce texte capital ? Ce qu'il dit et non pas ce qu'on lui fait dire. L'ouvrage de Mahmoud Hussein donne des clés pour lire et penser ce texte fondateur. En replaçant de nombreux versets du Coran dans les circonstances où ils furent révélés, il éclaire des évidences largement occultées à l'heure actuelle et cependant essentielles à l'intelligence du texte.

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.Par Antoine Sfeir. 2013
