Liberating Islam: How to Reconcile Islamic Criminal Law with Human Rights
LIBERATING ISLAM presents a revolutionary approach to reconcile Islamic Criminal Law with Human Rights.
Islamic criminal law causes much suffering to both Muslims and non-Muslims and has led to conflict between the Islamic world and the rest of the world community. Harsh corporal punishments, such as stoning to death for adultery, and beheading for leaving Islam, violate human rights severely. The problem is that the current predominant Islamic doctrines are shaped by some archaic radical (false) interpretations, some of which, in fact, even contradict the Qur'an itself.
This book shows how Islamic criminal law can be reconciled with international human rights. It explains:
- Why it is important to distinguish between Shariah and Islamic law
- Why Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) plays a key role in the conflict
- Why reformation and renewal can be considered Islamic concepts and
- Why the Quran and the Sunnah always need to be interpreted in the context of the relevant time and environment and considering the need of the people
The book provides the key to solve the conflict of Islamic world with human rights.
