Islam prides itself on being "the religion of facility". Muslim
sources are unanimous in assigning to Judaism the role of
counterweight in this regard, pronouncing it a system of "burdens
and shackles" by which the Jews "oppressed their souls". This neat
polarity both fueled, and was the product of, a fascinating
reciprocal process: at the same time that shari'a was being created
in the negative image of halakha, halakha was being retroactively
re-imagined by Muslim jurists and exegetes as the antipode of
shari'a . Although scholarly studies of the intertexture of Islam
and Judaism abound, few have touched upon the Muslim tradition's
perception and utilization of Jewish law, and none has done so in
depth. This book aims to fill that lacuna and further our
understanding of the age-old embrace and grapple between the two
faiths.
