UNITY BEYOND SECTARIANISM: Returning to the Qur'an and Its Moneyless Economic Way For over fourteen centuries, the Muslim Ummah has remained divided by sectarian identities. While theological differences are often blamed, this book presents a deeper and rarely examined perspective: SECTARIANISM became entrenched through political power, institutional structures, and economic incentives - not through the Qur'an itself.
In this thought-provoking work, Glenn Chin explores the historical development of sectarianism in Islam alongside a detailed study of the Qur'an's original economic vision. The book argues that early Islamic society functioned on a moneyless, cooperative, and justice-based system, and that later monetary frameworks altered religious institutions in ways that reinforced division.
This book examines:
- the historical roots of Sunni and Shia divisions
- how political authority and wealth shaped religious institutions
- why gold and silver are not presented as currency in the Qur'an
- the Qur'anic meanings of zakat, dowry, blood money, and debt
- the difference between Qur'anic exchange and modern buying and selling
- how monetary systems created incentives that sustained sectarian boundaries Beyond historical analysis, the book offers a Qur'an-centered social model based on shared provision, generosity, equality, and accountability. It explains how justice, welfare, education, healthcare, and community life can function without reliance on money, and how removing financial competition reduces structural causes of division.
Written in a neutral, non-polemical style, this book does not promote any sect. Instead, it invites readers to rethink Islamic history, economics, and unity through the ethical framework of the Qur'an itself.
This book is for readers seeking a deeper understanding of Islamic sectarianism, Qur'anic economics, and the foundations of a more unified and just Muslim society.
