N2  - What happens if an age comes where divine norms no longer constitute areference point in guiding people’s lives? Who is to speak for the divine willin the modern age, and how is God’s law to play any meaningful role in the ageof modernity? We live in a world where Muslims are misunderstood and terriblymistreated by those who are ignorant or prejudiced towards Islam. However, itis difficult to escape the reality that Muslims have become unjust anddestructive towards others, each other and themselves. As a result, Muslims findthemselves with a conflicting conscience, as Khaled Abou El-Fadl describes it,trying to reconcile between the “Islamic dream and the chaos of the moderncondition.”
