What should be the place of Sharia��aa��Islamic religious lawa��in predominantly Muslim societies of the world? In this ambitious and topical book, a Muslim scholar and human rights activist envisions a positive and sustainable role for Sharia��a, based on a profound rethinking of the relationship between religion and the secular state in all societies. An-Naa��im argues that the coercive enforcement of Sharia��a by the state betrays the Qur'an's insistence on voluntary acceptance of Islam. Just as the state should be secure from the misuse of religious authority, Sharia��a should be freed from the control of the state. State policies or legislation must be based on civic reasons accessible to citizens of all religions. Showing that throughout the history of Islam, Islam and the state have normally been separate, An-Naa��im maintains that ideas of human rights and citizenship are more consistent with Islamic principles than with claims of a supposedly Islamic state to enforce Sharia��a. In fact, he suggests, the very idea of an a�Islamic statea�� is based on European ideas of state and law, and not Sharia��a or the Islamic tradition. Bold, pragmatic, and deeply rooted in Islamic history and theology, Islam and the Secular State offers a workable future for the place of Sharia��a in Muslim societies. ISBN 9788130914428
