Islamic Law: Cases, Authorities and Worldview
Autor Ahmad Atif Ahmaden Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 oct 2017
The book surveys the historical development as well as the contemporary contexts of Islamic law. In distilling the history of Islamic law for non-specialists, the author covers important topics such as the development and transformation of Islamic institutions before and after colonialism. Coverage of Islamic law across contemporary contexts draws on real case material, and allows for discussion of Islam as a legal and a moral code that is activated both inside and outside the court.
Readers will learn about rituals, dietary restrictions, family, contracts and property, lawful and unlawful gain, criminal law and punishments, and what makes a government legitimate in the eyes of Muslim individuals and authorities.

Recenzii
Lively, relevant, bold and challenging, this book is a welcome addition to the literature on Islamic law that will thoroughly enrich the discussion of shari'ah and its social, intellectual and political apparatuses and implications, not only inside the classroom but outside as well.
This book contributes to the progressive understanding of "Islam" not only as a religion but also as an intellectual discipline propelled by a balanced analysis of relevant authoritative sources and their judicial expositions, scholarly views, historical antecedents, and contemporary contexts. This timely work has the potential of ushering greater understanding of "Islam" towards peaceful co-existence of all religions worldwide.
This unique and wide-ranging text is a useful resource for students interested in exploring the complexity of the Islamic legal tradition.
. an exemplary introduction to Islamic law encompassing its history, theory, as well as its diverse applications in personal, social, national, and transnational realms of human life .worth recommending for inclusion in the syllabi of Islamic studies classes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in universities around the world . Keeping in view its contents, language, and style of presentation, along with the diversity of issues it addresses vis-à-vis the application of Islamic law, it is far better than the books on Islamic law that are currently in use in Islamic Studies classes .
