Shari'ah: A Muslim's Declaration of Independence

by Bill Whitehouse

Overview

An exploration into a variety of ideas concerning traditional understandings of sacred law and shari'ah. This book introduces a new way of approaching the nature of shari'ah -- a way that pays close attention to the guidance of the Qur'an and the character of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Anyone who is tired of the rigidity, dogmatism, and oppressiveness entailed by many facets of theologically and ideologically driven interpretations of Quranic guidance will find much on which to constructively reflect throughout the pages of 'Shari'ah: A Muslim's Declaration of Independence'.
