The overwhelming intellectual chaos in reading Islam and its application calls for setting aside heritage and starting from the foundational text of the religion, which is the Book of God.

This book addresses the steadfast foundations of Islam, faith, citizenship, and religious loyalty, using the method of 'Tartil' as its approach. According to Dr. Shahrour, 'Tartil' involves aligning topics mentioned in different verses in a coherent pattern, as well as rejecting synonyms in understanding the texts of the Book of God, and interpreting its texts with one another.

* Mohammad Shahrour's work is a comprehensive attempt to reconcile the religion of Islam with modern philosophy, as well as a rational perspective in the natural sciences.
