Why is it important?
Not many studies were conducted on Buddhism, particularly from a Quranic perspective. Thus, this manuscript discusses Buddhism from modern Muslim exegetes. There are several aspects that motivated modern Muslim exegetes to discuss Buddhism in their works.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long-standing collaborations. This article also leads to rare discourse on Muslim views on Buddhism from the Quranic exegesis perspective and ultimately contribute to other areas in Muslim-Buddhist relation research.
