Khaled Abou El Fadl is a classically-trained Islamic jurist, an
American lawyer and law professor, and one of the most important
Islamic thinkers today. In this updated and expanded edition of The
Search for Beauty in Islam, Abou El Fadl offers eye-opening and
enlightening insights into the contemporary realities of the
current state of Islam and the West. Through a 'conference of the
books,' an imagined conference of Muslim intellects from centuries
past, Abou El Fadl examines the ugliness that has come to plague
Muslim realities and attempts to reclaim what he maintains is a
core moral value in Islam-the value of beauty. Does Islamic law
allow, or even call for, the gruesome acts of ugliness that have
become so commonly associated with Islam today? Has Islam become a
religion devoid of beauty, compassion and love? Based on actual
cases, this book tackles different issues and problems in each
chapter through a post-9/11 lens, discussing such topics as
marriage, divorce, parental rights, the position of women, the
veil, sexual abuse, wife-beating, terrorism, bigotry, morality,
law, and the role of tradition. Abou El Fadl argues that the
rekindling of the forgotten value of beauty is essential for
Muslims today to take back what has been lost to the fundamentalist
forces that have denigrated their religion.
