But there is still a long way to go, as most of the aforementioned injustices continue to be applied in the majority of Muslim countries at all levels: religious, social, political and legal.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that there are increasingly more progressive Muslims and modernist scholars who are carrying out reformist and tolerant interpretations of the Quran. They argue that the central message of this book is one of justice, equality and compassion, and that any interpretation that contravenes these principles must be reevaluated. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They question the authenticity of the Hadith, as they were written several centuries after the death of Muhammad, based on alleged oral transmissions. Those of us who have played the game of sitting a group of people in a circle and whispering a phrase into the ear of the person to our right, who in turn does the same with the next, and so on, know how oral messages become distorted when passed from one person to another. Furthermore, they see contradictions between the Hadith and the Quran.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also take into account the historical context of the different verses of the Quran, specifically in the 7th century in the Arabian Peninsula, where cultural and social patterns were typical of the Middle Ages: conquests, massacres, war spoils, slavery, subjugation of women, cruel punishments, multiple human rights violations, etc.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><br><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/understand-every-religious-precept-within-the-historical-context-in-which-it-was-created\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Read LIVE WITHOUT HARMING! Understand each religious precept in the historical context in which it was written <\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The interpretations and applications of the texts of this religion have varied considerably over time and among different schools of Islamic thought. And modernist Muslims believe that it is necessary to adapt these interpretations to current times, in such a way that they are compatible with human rights and freedoms. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, they take into account the circumstances in which the events described in the Quran occurred. For example, on occasion, these were defensive reactions to enemy attacks or their breach of agreements. Furthermore, they consider that certain verses should be understood in a metaphorical framework rather than as literal and universal mandates.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fostering this benevolent and respectful Islam is part of the solution to the problem of oppressive, repressive and conservative Islam.
