One of the prominent figures in this field is Nashr Hamid Abu Zayd. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd (1943–2010 M) is a highly controversial contemporary thinker. He is an Egyptian scholar who is accused of being apostate, because of his theory of qur’anic hermeneutic (the textual of Qur’an). This is reflected in his stances towards contemporary religious discourse and (...) the approach to reading religious texts, especially the Quran, which requires reading according to a hermeneutic mechanism. His books ‘Naqd al-Khitab al-Dini (Criticism of Religious Discourse)’ and ‘Al-Takfir fi Zaman al-Takfir (Thinking in the Time of Atonement)’ caused a great uproar in the early nineties of the last century. Abu Zayd was accused of criticising atheists because of their stances on the text. Therefore, this study aimed to discuss Abu Zayd’s position on contemporary religious discourse and his new approach to reading religious texts, and also aims to discuss why Abu Zayd’s theory has been string up Islamic world and ending by his expulsive from his native country.

يغتر بنو آدم بما يسوقه الله إليهم من حلمٍ وعفو عن سوء صنيعهم وجُرم ما اقترفت أيديهم...يغترون بحلم الله...يغرهم جهلهم..ويدفعهم طيشهم إلى إعلان الحرب على الوجود كله حتى على الله ذاته، وجهوا إلى إرادته سبحانه سهام حرابهم، وسوء مكرهم..ولعنات خداعهم..قتلوا الإنسان صنع الله...حاربوا الله باسم الله...أضاعوا الدين..كل الدين باسم الدين...قتلوا العدل فى محرابه عاكفًا يصلى لربه باسم العدالة..هتكوا عرض الإنسانية ثم جلسوا يمصون دمائها بأيديهم الآثمة..ويكأنهم لم يقدموا لها سوءًا..ويكأنهم بقتلها أحسنوا إليها صنيعًا.. يالسوء ماقدمت الإنسانية لبنى الإنسان، يالسوء ما (...) خلفوا ربهم بعد ميثاقه الأول والأشهر، فكانوا النموذج الأسوأ للخلافة، والصورة المضادة تمامًا لطبيعة المستخلف وجوهر إرادته، فما تركوا حرابًا ولا ظلمًا ولا إثمًا إلا اقترفوه، وما تركوا جراحًا ملتاثة بلعينهم إلا وأوسعوها جرحًا وأوغروها نزقًا وأعمقوها حزنًا فكانت تلك هى مكتسباتهم ، فى حين كانت إرادة السماء رحمات الأرض وأمنها وسلامها...ولكنهم..ويالذل ما قدموا للإنسانية، أجهزوا عليها صريعة، فطالت سهام قتلهم وحرابهم السماء ذاتها، تلك التى امتدت إليهم بحنوها وعطفها، فلم تسلم من ثورتهم وقتلهم وظلماتهم، فكانوا بحق هم الثائرون ضد الله...
