''In the Shade of the Qur'an'' or Fi Zilal al-Qur'an()() ((アラビア語:في ظِلالِ القرآن), ''fī ẓilāl al-qur'ān'') is a highly influential commentary of the Qur'an, written during 1951-1965 by Sayyid Qutb() (1906-1966), a leader within the Muslim Brotherhood. Most of the original 30 volumes (114 Surahs) were written (or re-written) while in prison following an attempted assassination of Egyptian dictator Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1954.〔 The book outlines Qutb's vision of an Islamic state and society. It is considered by some to be a comprehensive and far-reaching commentary that takes a clear and lucid interpretation of the Qur'an. It has much influence throughout the Islamic world, especially amongst the ordinary lay practitioners of Islam in the Arab world. The work extends to 30 volumes and has been translated into several languages, including English, French, German, Urdu, Turkish, Indonesian, Persian, Malayalam and Bengali. The full set of volumes covers the entire Qur'an.〔 ==Conclusions== From a social and political standpoint, some of the more important conclusions Qutb drew in his interpretation include: *On freedom of religion: Islam came to declare and establish the great universal principle that: ''"There shall be no compulsion in religion. The right way is henceforth distinct from error."'' (Verse 256) This reflects the honour God has reserved for man and the high regard in which man’s will, thought and emotions are held, and the freedom he is granted to choose his beliefs, and the responsible position he is afforded to be judge of his own actions. Here lies the essence of human emancipation which 20th-century authoritarian and oppressive ideologies and regimes have denied mankind. Modern man has been deprived of the right to choose and live other than according to what is dictated by the state, using the full force of its colossal machinery, laws and powers. People are today given the choice only to adhere to the secular state system, which does not allow for a belief in God as the Creator and Master of the world, or to face annihilation. Freedom of belief is the most basic right that identifies man as a human being. To deny anyone this right is to deny him or her humanity. Freedom of belief also implies the freedom to express and propagate one’s belief without fear of threat or persecution; otherwise, that freedom is hollow and meaningless.〔Sayyid Qutb, ''In the Shade of the Qur'an'', vol. 1, pp.348-349.〕 *On the issue of human relationships: : Allah wishes human life to be elevated, happy, based on pure motives and characterised by mutual compassion, brotherhood and purity of hearts and behaviour.〔''In the Shade of the Qur'an'', translated by Adil Salahi, Vol. 30, p. 275 (2002).〕 *On the Victimization of Children of Israel by the Pharaoh: : Tyrants are always ready to commit any crime, without hesitation, in order to retain power....That is tyranny: ignorant and stupid, but at the same time arrogant and conceited.〔Commentary on Surah 7, ''In the Shade of the Qur'an,'' translated by M.A. Salahi and A.; A. Shamis, Vol. I Markfield, Leicester, and Nairobi, Kenya: The Islamic Foundation 1999.〕 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「Fi Zilal al-Quran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
