Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, and Adonis, as an extension of the secular perspective that prioritizes humanism and the centrality of humanity over the centrality of Allah, Almighty. The research demonstrates that these theses share the belief that revelation and religion are historical human constructs, subject to relative understanding and changing interpretations, rather than divine and immutable givens. It outlines the epistemological foundations of secularism, including humanism, secularism, and instrumental rationality, and examines their impact on modern Arab thought. It then explores in detail Arkoun’s thesis on the humanization of revelation, Abu Zayd’s historicism of the Quranic text and the humanization of its meanings, and Adonis’s interpretation of the Quran as a linguistic and literary text stripped of sacredness.
The study concludes that the assertion of the human nature of religion leads to the denial of its sanctity, the dismantling of religious knowledge at its core, and the emptying of revelation from its divine content. This results in an absolute relativism in both belief and legislation, with multiple purposes existing between the divine, the prophetic, and the human, a position that contradicts the Islamic view of revelation and religion.
