Description

This work covers a subject of much interest in modern Islamic studies courses, abrogation. The book is suitable for students as well as interested readers.

This work provides a solid grounding of the subject, a historical perspective, including covering controversial areas, such as the verse of the sword that has been used by Islamophobes to fan the flames of anger against Muslims for years. It then sets out the author's view and why he feels a change is needed.

Jasser Auda is a modern Muslim scholar whose purpose driven approach to Islamic law has won him fans from around the world. He is brave enough to challenge orthodoxy, yet his grounding in tradition protect him from being discredited.

Jasser Auda established the Maqasid Institute - the global think take that aims to reorientate Islamic law towards its higher purposes, rather than scriptural dogma.
