The Pillars of Corruption: A Qur'anic Study of Traits and Punishment

About this book

Dr. Ramadan Al-Hilali examines the psychological and social structures of corruption through a Qur'anic perspective. The book asks how false awareness develops, how tyranny adopts the language of reform, and how greed and hypocrisy conceal their purposes. It traces financial wrongdoing, arrogance in building, intellectual superiority, and failures of leadership, considering recurring patterns in the rise and fall of societies. Connecting these patterns to the present, the study reflects on divine justice, the consequences of persistent wrongdoing, and the values needed to protect a society's moral foundations.
