God believes in man: with Islam, towards a new humanism

The message of Mouhanad Khorchide is clear: we need a global humanism that pays tribute to the people as a global family. By recognizing its own potential, Islam can make a decisive contribution. Muhanad Khorchide draws attention to a god who takes human freedom seriously. A courageous book, which radically rediscovers Islam and presents it as a modern and contemporary religion, an essential source of global humanism.

Présentation de l’éditeur

Le message de Mouhanad Khorchide est clair : nous avons besoin d’un humanisme mondial qui rende hommage à la population en tant que famille mondiale. En reconnaissant ses propres potentialités, l’Islam peut y apporter une contribution décisive. Mouhanad Khorchide attire l’attention sur un dieu qui prend la liberté humaine au sérieux. Un livre courageux, qui redécouvre radicalement l’Islam et le présente comme une religion moderne et actuelle, source incontournable d’un humanisme mondial.

Mouhanad Khorchides Botschaft ist klar: Wir brauchen einen globalen Humanismus, der die Menschen als weltumspannende Familie würdigt. Indem er seine eigenen Potentiale erkennt, kann der Islam hierzu einen entscheidenden Beitrag leisten. Mouhanad Khorchide lenkt den Blick auf einen Gott, der den Menschen in seiner Freiheit ernst nimmt. Ein mutiges Buch, das den Islam radikal neu versteht und ihn als moderne und aktuelle Religion darstellt: als notwendige Quelle eines globalen Humanismus.
