Abstract

UDK 28-1
         28-254

In this essay the author considers the meaning of the 13th verse of the Quran’s Surah Al-Hujurat as well as its reception in contemporary discourses, and considers it within the hermeneutical key of interpretation by Husein effendi Đozo, presented to his students in his lectures on Tafsir at the Faculty of Islamic Studies in Sarajevo. The author has a critical stance toward those readings of this Quranic verse that lose sight of its ending. Such readings reduce the mutual acquaintance which is mentioned in this Quranic verse to a conquering, utilitarian and hegemonistic concept and project. Hence, the author stresses the importance of the ending of the Quranic verse which emphasizes the ethical and spiritual dimension of meeting, in openness towards a mutual spiritual dimension of humanity, without which there is no approach amongst different cultures.
