Book Description

This book is not an interpretation, but an invitation to journey into the depths of the "clear Arabic tongue," not merely as a language, but as a divine code and a unique cognitive system. It is an attempt to delve into the "unclear" meanings that elude a superficial, literal reading, to discover how the story of Christ and his mother, Mary, is not merely a historical event, but a living roadmap for every human soul yearning for the birth of a new consciousness.

It is a journey to learn how to be "Mary" in the courage to reject outdated intellectual legacies, and how to revive the "Christ" hidden deep within us, so that we may be a revival program in our reality, and a force that erases the ignorance of minds and the deadness of hearts. Are you ready to contemplate what has not been revealed to many?

The series at hand—"Christ and Mary in the Qur'an: From the Esoteric Symbol to the Human Model"—is a practical outcome of a broader methodology we call "Fiqh of the Qur'anic Language." The esoteric contemplation it employs is one of the most significant branches of this fiqh, diving deepest into the text's core. It stems from a firm conviction that the Qur'an is not a linear, closed text, but an open universe of meanings, a unique linguistic and cognitive system with a rigorous and purposeful internal structure.

Conclusion: Be the Next Delegation

At the conclusion of our journey through the hidden meanings in the story of Christ and Mary, we reach a point that is not the end, but rather the beginning of responsibility. Together, we have tried to dust off the timeless symbols of the Qur'an—not to count them, but to revive them in our reality.

We began with "Mary"—that pure soul who taught us that the birth of the true "Word" requires a "mihrab" of inner silence, and the courage to withdraw from the noise of the world. We saw in her a model for every consciousness preparing to receive divine inspiration. Then "Christ" was revealed to us—not only as a historical miracle, but as a renewable "revival program" and a divine "Word" that carries within it the code of both knowledge and faith, and an invitation for every human to wipe away the genes of aggression from their soul and revive the dead lands of consciousness in their surroundings.

This book was not written to be read, but to be lived. It is an explicit invitation for every reader to transcend the role of recipient, to become themselves a "coming delegation," carrying the torch of contemplation and reviving these meanings in their life.
