Khaled Abou El-Fadl. Reasoning with God: Reclaiming Shari‘ah in the Modern Age
Öz
What happens if an age comes where divine norms no longer constitute a
reference point in guiding people’s lives? Who is to speak for the divine will
in the modern age, and how is God’s law to play any meaningful role in the age
of modernity? We live in a world where Muslims are misunderstood and terribly
mistreated by those who are ignorant or prejudiced towards Islam. However, it
is difficult to escape the reality that Muslims have become unjust and
destructive towards others, each other and themselves. As a result, Muslims find
themselves with a conflicting conscience, as Khaled Abou El-Fadl describes it,
trying to reconcile between the “Islamic dream and the chaos of the modern
condition.”
