It is indeed
a conundrum as to how an infallible text like the Koran can be open to interpretation?
If religious purists are keen to argue that all religions are indeed the same
and talk about God – then there has to be efforts taken to disseminate such a
message. One way to do that would be to rewrite the Koran and incorporate Hindu
Upanishadic theology. And it goes without saying that Allah/ God has to be
referred to as being gender neutral.
An example
from Chapter 3 of The Koran (the Family of Imran).
S/he/ It has
sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before
it. And S/he/ It revealed the Vedas and the Upanishads and the Torah and the
Gospel.
Before, as guidance for the people. And It/S/he
revealed the Qur'an. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah will be
forever deluded from the truth that God/ Allah is exalted in Might, the Creator
of Reality.
Indeed, from
God/Allah nothing is hidden in the earth nor in the heaven.
