Covering more than three centuries of legal history, this study presents an important account of how Islam developed its own law from ancient Near Eastern legal cultures, Arabian customary law and Quranic reform. The book explores the interplay between law and politics, demonstrating how the jurists and ruling elite led a symbiotic existence that paradoxically allowed Islamic law to become uniquely independent of the "state."Book DescriptionCovering more than three centuries of legal history,The Origins and Evolution of Islamic Law presents an important account of how Islam developed its own l

In recent years, Islamic law, or Shari’a, has been appropriated as a tool of modernity in the Muslim world and in the West and has become highly politicised in consequence. Wael Hallaq’s magisterial overview of Shari’a sets the record straight by examining the doctrines and practices of Islamic law within the context of its history, and by showing how it functioned within pre-modern Islamic societies as a moral imperative. In so doing, Hallaq takes the reader on an epic journey tracing the history of Islamic law from its beginnings in seventh-century Arabia, through its devel

This tribute to Charles J. Adams from colleagues and students includes essays on numerous aspects of Islamic civilization, beginning with early Islam down to the modern period. The Qur’an receives the attention of five authors: Andrew Rippin focuses on references to the pre-Islamic Hanifs, while Issa Boullata traces poetic citation in Qur’anic exegesis. Sulami’s commentary is discussed by Gerhard Bowering, and Hallaq draws attention to the unique place the Qur’an occupied in Shatibi’s legal theory. Finally, W.C. Smith looks at the Qur’an from a comparativist

It explores various manifestations of traditional as well as modern and postmodern themes and techniques in Arabic literature. Tripartite concepts of tradition, modernity, and postmodernity in Arabic literary works are explored and analyzed. The volume illustrates the fact that Arabic literature has kept abreast not only of the primarily modern literary movements in the West but also of the "postmodern condition".
