SCDOFG

SCDOFG (Société pour la Conservation et la Diffusion de l'Oeuvre de Farid Gabteni) is a French organization established in 2012 on the initiative of academics, relatives and friends of Professor Farid Gabteni (1957–2022). Its stated mission is to conserve and disseminate Gabteni's written work, which it presents as a major intellectual contribution capable of raising awareness of original Islam and its universal values. The organization operates primarily in French and maintains an official website at scdofg.com. The central object of SCDOFG's activity is Gabteni's treatise "Le Soleil se lève à l'Occident" (The Sun Rises in the West), published in three volumes: "Science pour l'Heure", "Le Hasard Programmé" and "Au cœur du Qorân". The first two volumes carry prefaces by doctors in the history and philosophy of science — Dr Fouzia Madani for the first and Dr Ismaël Omarjee for the second. The ninth edition of the work dates to 2019. SCDOFG describes the treatise as a scientific work extended to all the Readings of the Quran, presenting a rigorous argument against obscurantism and restoring the original message of Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. SCDOFG presents itself as independent of Farid Gabteni, although it received his approval for its creation. Its promoters frame their work as a responsibility incumbent on all those who wish truth to be known and peace to prevail over the sword. The organization's public communications emphasize themes of science, conscience, peace and tolerance, and it positions itself against what it describes as a denatured Islam propagated by fanatics and sectarians. As a small, mission-driven organization, SCDOFG does not operate as a commercial enterprise in the conventional sense; it functions as a publisher and diffusion body for a specific author's corpus. Its activities center on making Gabteni's texts available, promoting awareness of them, and maintaining an online presence in French. The organization's scope appears limited to francophone audiences and to readers interested in Islamic studies, philosophy of science and interfaith understanding.

SCDOFG was created in 2012 on the initiative of academics, relatives and friends of Professor Farid Gabteni (1957–2022). The organization received Gabteni's approval for its creation but describes itself as independent of him. Its founders were convinced that Gabteni's work constitutes a major and historic contribution of high intellectual significance, capable of creating awareness in society of original Islam and its universal values. From its inception, SCDOFG framed its purpose as conserving and disseminating this body of work, a responsibility it says falls to all those who want the truth to be known and peace to triumph over the sword. The principal work promoted by SCDOFG is Gabteni's "Le Soleil se lève à l'Occident", published in three volumes: "Science pour l'Heure", "Le Hasard Programmé" and "Au cœur du Qorân". The first volume is prefaced by Dr Fouzia Madani and the second by Dr Ismaël Omarjee, both doctors in the history and philosophy of science. SCDOFG characterizes the treatise as a scientific work extended to all the Readings of the Quran, describing it as a unique masterpiece offering a rigorous and irrefutable argument against obscurantism and restoring the original message of Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims. The ninth edition of the work was published in 2019. SCDOFG maintains an official French-language website through which it presents its mission, the author's work and related content. Its public messaging emphasizes science, conscience, peace and tolerance as the form and substance of the Quran and Islam as presented by Gabteni. The organization also publishes statements by the author, including critiques of what it describes as a denatured Islam propagated by fanatics and corrupters of the faith who commit crimes against God and humanity, cultivate discord, hatred, violence and sectarianism, and threaten civilization as a whole while Muslims are the first victims. Beyond its publishing and diffusion activities, SCDOFG's history is closely tied to the intellectual legacy of its namesake author. The organization continues to operate as a small, mission-focused entity dedicated to keeping Gabteni's corpus accessible and promoting its themes among francophone readers.
