Description: From laws against the implementation of Shari ah in the United States to anger about the role of Shari ah in Egypt's new constitution many people are confused about the meaning of Shari ah in Islam and its role in the world today. In Reasoning with God renowned Islamic scholar Khaled Abou El Fadl explains not only what Shari ah really means but also the way it can revitalize and re - engage contemporary Islam. After a Prologue that provides an essential overview of Shari ah Abou El Fadl explores the moral trajectory of Islam in today's world. Weaving powerful personal stories with broader global examples he shows the ways that some interpretations of Islam today have undermined its potential in peace and love. Rather than simply outlining challenges however the author provides constructive suggestions about how Muslims can re - engage the ethical tradition of their faith through Shari ah. As the world's second largest religion Islam remains an important force on the global stage. Reasoning with God takes readers both Muslim and non - Muslim beyond superficial understandings of Shari ah to a deeper understanding of its meaning and potential.
