“The Qur’an sought to reform, not to destroy and start from scratch, to
salvage what was useful and then to modify and build on it. The task was
to get the Arabs to think about religion in a novel way, to inculcate in them a new conceptual frame of reference, to transfer them from one worldview to another, and higher, one. This process of transformation took them from traditionalism to individualism, from impulsiveness to discipline, from supernaturalism to science, from intuition to conscious reasoning and, in the end, ideally, harmonized the whole.”

“من الممتع أن أذكر أني زرت في أواخر ثمانينات القرن العشرين و أوائل تسعيناته مسجد النبي و المسجد الحرام في مكة عدة مرات, و كانت الأسر هناك تجلس معاً و بصورة مختلطة إلى أن ينادى للصلاة فتنفصل النساء عن الرجال لأداء الصلاة في قسمهن. هذه هي العادة الموطدة في أقدس مكانين للعبادة في الإسلام منذ فجره.”

“وكما أن نمو الجنين في الرحم يؤثر بلا جدل في المرحلة التالية من وجوده, كذلك فإن تطورنا الروحي الأخلاقي في هذه الحياة مرتبط بشكل وثيق بوضعنا في الآخرة وعند ذلك طبعاً, لن تزر {وازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخرَى}”

“فى حين أن نموّنا ما قبل الولادة هو نموّ جسدى بالدرجة الأولى ,فإن تطورنا الدنيوي هو بشكل رئيسي تطور أخلاقي وروحى”
