Edip Yüksel (Kurdish: ادیپ یوکسل; born 1957) is a Turkish American intellectual considered one of the prime figures in the modern Islamic reform and Quranism (Quraniyoon) movements. Author of many books on the Qur'an and Islam, he has gained much attention through his works and speeches.〔Aisha Y. Musa. ''Hadith as Scripture; Discussions on the Authority of Prophetic Traditions in Islam'' 2008, ISBN 978-0-230-60535-0.〕〔http://www.ox.ac.uk/gazette/2008-9/weekly/301008/adverts.htm〕〔Jamie Glazov. (''From Radical to Reformed Muslim'' ). FrontPageMag.com, December 04, 2007.〕 His main aim, as stated throughout his writings, is to spread an Islamic understanding that is rational, progressive, and humanistic, which in his eyes can only be gained through accepting the Qur'an as the only Divine authority.〔http://deenrc.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/a-reformist-translation-0979671507.pdf. Page 487.〕 He is also a promoter of Theistic evolution, an understanding he gets from science and the Qur'an, instead of Creationism.〔http://deenrc.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/a-reformist-translation-0979671507.pdf. Page 510.〕 Specifically, Yüksel is critical of Islamic creationists such as Harun Yahya. Yüksel is a former member of United Submitters International. == Biography == Yüksel was born in Turkey in 1957 into a Kurdish family.〔http://www.Yüksel.org/e/law/kurd.htm〕 His father, Sadreddin Yüksel, an Islamic scholar, taught Arabic at a Turkish university. His brother Metin Yüksel, an Islamist activist, was assassinated by far-right nationalists. Yüksel says that he was an outspoken Islamist as a youth, and spent years in prison for his views. Yüksel says that he broke with Islamism in 1986 and adopted the Qur'an Alone philosophy as preached by Rashad Khalifa, the inspiration of the ''United Submitters International'' whose beliefs include: the dedication of all worship practices to God alone, upholding the Quran alone, and rejecting the Islamic traditionalist hadith and sunnah attributed to Muhammad. Because of this, Yüksel's traditionalist father, Sadreddin, declared his son an apostate, and he received many death threats from Orthodox Muslims.〔http://www.Yüksel.org/e/law/terror.htm〕〔http://www.livingislam.org/n/np_e.html〕 In 1989, he was sponsored for immigration to the US by Khalifa. Yüksel moved to Tucson, entered college, got a legal degree, and became a prominent member of the United Submitters International.〔 He became a U.S. citizen in 1993. Professor Aisha Musa, from Florida International University, says in her book ''Hadith as Scripture'' about Yüksel: He now teaches philosophy and logic at Pima Community College and medical ethics and criminal law courses at Brown Mackie College. He taught Turkish to high school students at a charter school, where one of his two sons attend. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edip Yüksel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
