Abstract
The book we have evaluated is the work named Al-Quran wa'l-Muctama/The Quran and Society by the Egyptian scientist and intellectual Mohammad Al-Bahiy. This work named Al-Quran wa'l-Muctama has not been translated into Turkish yet. Another work of Muhammed El-Behiy named Menhecü'l-Quran fi Tatvîri'l-Müctema was translated in 1986 and published under the name The Quran and Society. However, the book of the author, El-Quran ve'l-Muctema, which is the subject of our evaluation, means The Quran and Society in Turkish. This original work named Al-Quran wa'l-Muctama, which we have evaluated, was published in four chapters and 174 pages by Maktabatu Wahba in 1976 in Cairo. In the first chapter of the book, the author deals with the general sociological and psychological phenomena that exist in the Müslim society based on the Quran. In the second chapter, he explained the characteristic features of Islamic society in different situations and positions according to the Quran. In the third chapter, the orders, prohibitions and recommendations in the Quran about how the Muslim society should behave in the moment of victory or defeat, which we can call the ethics of victory and defeat, are explained. In the fourth chapter, the author explained the Qur'anic teachings about how the Muslim community should behave in the face of the attacks of non-Muslim societies against the Islamic society.
