对于穆斯林信仰的人来说，古兰经代表着对神最亲密、最直接的体验。穆斯林信仰占世界人口的近25%。对伊斯兰信徒来说，《古兰经》是上帝永恒而完美的话语，是他们理解自己和世界的核心。然而，许多非穆斯林对这一有影响力的文本并不熟悉或理解。因此，关于《古兰经》及其在伊斯兰信仰中的作用的神话和误解比比皆是。在一个日益全球化的社会中，理解《古兰经》的复杂历史和信息，以及它对全世界数百万信徒的意义，是前所未有的重要。
通常，人们对伊斯兰教的误解大多是由于缺乏信息——以及一些危险且多产的神话。为了与这些神话作斗争，更好地理解复杂的伊斯兰传统，美国大学高级教授讲师马丁·奥利弗博士（Martyn Oliver）举办了12场深入的讲座，为你提供了一个多方面的方法，了解穆罕默德、伊斯兰教和今天被称为《古兰经》的启示。你将了解伊斯兰教的起源，以及它在各个时代的成长和发展，你将看到今天人们是如何实践和理解伊斯兰教的。在此过程中，您将探索因误传而变得复杂的熟悉术语和想法，如伊斯兰教法和圣战概念。结合文学、神学和历史观点，奥利弗博士为您介绍了一个复杂而有影响力的宗教文本。这门课程也是一个难得的机会，可以听到获奖朗诵者高声朗诵古兰经，他为信徒和好奇的人带来了古老经文中优美的语言。
只有了解伊斯兰教的历史、文化和宗教框架，我们才有希望从历史和神学上理解伊斯兰教的复杂性。对于那些信奉伊斯兰教的人来说，这门课程可以帮助信徒更好地理解为理解上帝的意志和按照他的律法生活而正在进行的斗争，而那些来自外部的人可以更好地理解一个经常被误解的传统。《古兰经》导论将向你展示穆罕默德启示录的美丽和挑战，以及它是如何影响和引导信徒几个世纪的。
Introduction to the Qur’an (Audiobook)
For people of the Muslim faith – nearly 25 percent of the world’s population – the Qur’an represents the most intimate and direct experience of the divine. For the Islamic faithful, the Qur’an is the eternal and perfect Word of God, and it lies at the very heart of their understanding of themselves and the world. And yet, many non-Muslims have little familiarity with or understanding of this influential text. As a result, myths and misconceptions about the Qur’an and how it functions in the Islamic faith abound. In an increasingly global society, it has never been more important to understand the complicated history and message of the Qur’an, and its significance to millions of believers around the world.
Often, much of what is misunderstood about Islam is the result of a lack of information – and some dangerous and prolific myths. To combat these myths and better understand the complex Islamic tradition, Dr. Martyn Oliver, a senior professorial lecturer at American University, presents 12 in-depth lectures to provide you with a multifaceted approach to Muhammad, Islam, and the revelation known today as the Qur’an. You will understand the origins of Islam, as well as its growth and development across the ages, and you will see how the religion is practiced and understood today. Along the way, you will explore familiar terms and ideas that have become complicated by misrepresentation, such as sharia and the concept of jihad. Combining literary, theological, and historical perspectives, Dr. Oliver gives you a rich introduction to a complex and influential religious text. This course is also a rare opportunity to hear the Qur’an recited aloud by an award-winning reciter who brings the beautiful language of the ancient text to life for believers and the curious alike.
Only by understanding the historical, cultural, and religious framework of Islam can we hope to understand the complexity of Islam, both historically and theologically. For those who practice Islam, this course may help believers better understand the ongoing struggle to understand God’s will and to live according to his law, while those who come from the outside can have a better understanding of an often-misunderstood tradition. Introduction to the Qur’an will show you the beauty and the challenge of Muhammad’s revelation, and how it has moved and guided its adherents for centuries.
