Titre original : “The Original Sin and the Qur’an”
Résumé : Le présent article traite de l’opinion courante selon laquelle le Coran n’aurait pas de doctrine du péché originel. Il commence par définir le péché originel en se référant à la Bible et à la tradition chrétienne. Ensuite, l’auteur aborde le langage coranique sur le fait de “porter le fardeau d’un autre” et l’anthropologie généralement pessimiste du Coran. Enfin, l’auteur examine le matériel coranique sur la chute à cause du diable, la permission que Dieu accorde au diable d’égarer les humains, et la chute d’Adam et de sa femme dans le monde avec ses conséquences après leur péché. L’histoire ultérieure de l’humanité dans le Coran est ponctuée de châtiments. Tout ceci conduit à la conclusion que la tendance de l’humanité à pécher (et la tendance de Dieu à punir les humains pour leur péché) est liée à cette protohistoire. En conséquence, s’il est vrai que le Coran ne reprend pas une grande partie de l’enseignement chrétien sur le péché originel, il n’en demeure pas moins que, dans le Coran, le péché d’Adam a de graves conséquences pour sa progéniture.
