I want a response to the claim that the Book of Allah is an open text.
Dealing with the Qur'an as an open text by modernists and liberationists means intellectual chaos and the abolition of the sanctity of the Qur'anic text in terms of meaning, indication, and interpretation. This allows for interpretive readings that do not rely on language, tradition, prophetic exegesis, or even the intention of the speaker. This ideology is based on the premise that truths are mutable, not fixed. For more details, one can refer to Dr. Saleh Al-Dumaiji's thesis: "The Position of Liberalism in Arab Countries on the Fixed Principles of Religion," as well as Dr. Muhammad Amara's discussion of Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd's book "Mafhum al-Nass (The Concept of the Text)" in his own book "Al- al-Marksy lil-Islam (The Marxist Interpretation of Islam)."
