Mahmoud Hussein refutes this by showing that it contradicts the very teachings of the Qur'an.</p><p>Whereas God transcends time, His Word is inscribed within time. It is not a monologue, but a living exchange, through which God reveals to His Prophet different orders of truth, weaving together the absolute and the relative, the general and the particular, the eternal and the contingent.</p><p>An international bestseller, <i>Understanding the Qur'an Today</i> offers a new perspective on one of the world's most influential texts and adds an invaluable contribution to the debate on Islam and modernity.</p><p><b>Mahmoud Hussein</b> is the pseudonym of Bahgat Elnadi and Adel Rifaat, French political writers of Egyptian origin.
