Synopsis

This fourth volume of Removing the Middleman Series continues the journey into deconstructing the text of the Qur'an and peeling back the layers of complex undertones and contexts while empowering the readers to do the same. Discussing the eighth through eleventh chapters of the Qur'an, this volume brings home a fundamental tenet of Islam and of human life—personal accountability—which should follow faith, freedom of choice, and social consciousness.
One should arrive at faith based on free choice and not based on where you are born or who your parents are. Faith cannot be coerced into someone, and without a free choice and a conscious choice at that, faith remains impaired and cannot fully express itself. Faith without a sense of personal responsibility and accountability is also a recipe for corruption and abuse of faith, which has been witnessed in all major religions. Lack of such accountability has certainly led to serious repercussions in Christianity and proceeded many of its reformations in the fifteenth century by people like Martin Luther and John Calvin. Such distortions are being witnessed in many Muslim countries and societies that allowed terrorist organizations to proliferate and autocrats to take hold. Our social stability and social justice depend on such personal accountability with respect to one another as well as to God. While in afterlife, accountability will be nonnegotiable, here on earth we must develop systems and social norms that put such personal accountability at the core of our civilization in the twenty-first century. The current excess in wall street, profiteering while ignoring main street well-being, is another example of lack of personal and social accountability in our financial and economic system.
