What is justice? How can it be realised within society? These are
universal concerns and are central to the primary scripture of
Islam, the Qur'an. Utilising a pioneering theological and
hermeneutic framework adapted from both classical Muslim literature
and contemporary academic studies of the Qur'an, Ramon Harvey
explores the underlying principles of its system of social justice.
Dividing his book into four parts, he covers Qur'anic Ethics,
Political Justice (politics, peace, war), Distributive Justice
(fair trade, alms, marriage, inheritance) and Corrective Justice
(public and private crimes). His reading of the Qur'an reconstructs
the text as normatively engaging these spheres of justice in their
socio-historical context and lays the foundations for future
contemporary articulations of Qur'anic ethics.
