هذا الكتاب

أطلق الدكتور محمد حبش في سورية مركز الدراسات الإسلامية منذ 2001 وهو يتبنى مشروعاً فكرياً شجاعاً يدعو إلى مذهب إنساني في الإسلام، ويتبنى خطاب إخاء الأديان وكرامة الإنسان، ويدعو إلى مراجعات عميقة في الدين والتاريخ، لتركيز القيم الإنسانية العليا في الحرية والعدالة والمساواة، وأعلن موقفاً إيجابياً واضحاً من التراث الإسلامي، تحت عنوان نور يهدي وليس قيداً يأسر.

وقد عمل هذا المركز في سوريا نحو عشر سنين وأدى رسالة واضحة في عدد من الهيئات والمؤسسات الأكاديمية والحوارية في أوروبا وأمريكا، واستقبل عشرات الوفود العلمية والسياحية الراغبة بالتعرف إلى الإسلام والمجتمعات الإسلامية.

ويقدر عدد الوفود التي زارت المركز بنحو 176 وفداً وأنجز تعاوناً إيجابياً على مستويات مختلفة مع عدد من الجامعات الأوروبية من أبرزها: جامعة كرايوفا الرومانية، وهلسنكي في فنلندا، وجامعة أوسلو، وجامعة بيرغن في النرويج، وجامعة روستوك وشتوتغارد في ألمانيا، وليوبولد سكرون في النمسا، وجامعة استوكهولم ولوند وفاكسهو في السويد، وقد قام الدكتور حبش بزيارة هذه الجامعات وتحدث فيها عن رسالته في إخاء الأديان وكرامة الإنسان، تحت شعار دين بين الأديان وليس ديناً فوق الأديان.

كما أنجز المركز سلسلة حوارات مهمة مع عدد من الهيئات الدينية المسيحية في العالم ومن أبرزها الفاتيكان وهيئة الحوار في سانت أجيدو وقد توجت هذه الحوارات بلقاء مهم مع البابا فرنسيس الثاني في روما والكنيسة الأرثوذكسية الرومانية والكنيسة المشيخية في الولايات المتحدة والكنيسة البروتستانتية الأنغليكانية في بريطانيا إضافة إلى عشرات الكنائس الأخرى المحلية والدولية.

وفي عام 2011 ومع قيام الثورة السورية أُغلق المركز وانتقل الدكتور حبش إلى أبو ظبي حيث يعمل في جامعة أبو ظبي أستاذ الدراسات الإسلامية في كلية القانون، كما استأنف نشاط مركز الدراسات الإسلامية في المنفى.

وفي هذه الصفحات تجد دراسات مختلفة قدَّمها مفكرون وعلماء وسياسيون أشاروا فيها إلى رسالة الدكتور حبش في  إخاء الأديان وكرامة الإنسان ، وجهوده في دعم المذهب الإنساني في الإسلام، وهي صفحات منشورة على الإنترنت ويمكن الوصول إليها ببساطة من مصادرها الأصلية.

كما تتناول دراسات عدِّة في هذا الكتاب شرح جهود الدكتور حبش السياسية لوقف الحرب والدعوة لمصالحة وطنية توقف العنف في سورية وذلك من خلال عمله في البرلمان السوري ودوره القيادي في تأسيس الطريق الثالث الرافض للعنف بكل صوره.

والهدف من نشر هذا الكتاب هو تأكيد اهتمام العالم بالمشروع الإنساني لإخاء الأديان وكرامة الإنسان الذي يطرحه الدكتور حبش من منطق إسلامي يعتمد الأصول الإسلامية التاريخية في الاستنباط والاجتهاد، ومن ثمَّ توفير مزيد من الأمل للإخاء الإنساني في الأرض.
