Many Muslim societies are in the throes of tumultuous political
transitions, and common to all has been heightened debate over the
place of sharia law in modern politics and ethical life. Bringing
together leading scholars of Islamic politics, ethics, and law,
this book examines the varied meanings and uses of Islamic law, so
as to assess the prospects for democratic, plural, and
gender-equitable Islamic ethics today. These essays show that,
contrary to the claims of some radicals, Muslim understandings of
Islamic law and ethics have always been varied and emerge, not from
unchanging texts but from real and active engagement with Islamic
traditions and everyday life. The ethical debates that rage in
contemporary Muslim societies reveal much about the prospects for
democratic societies and a pluralist Islamic ethics in the future.
They also suggest that despite the tragic violence wrought in
recent years by Boko Haram and the Islamic State in Iraq, we may
yet see an age of ethical renewal across the Muslim world.
