Kamali, Mohammad, Hashim: The Middle Path of Moderation in Islam - The Qur'anic Principle of Wasatiyyah

Abstract

This work comes from the pen of a mature, seasoned and prolific writer of contemporary Islamic Thought and Practice. With a core specialization in Islamic Law and Jurisprudence, Professor Hashim Kamali always exudes wisdom hat capable of stimulating the mind. In our contemporary era of chaos, where Islamic Religious Thought has been held to ransom by individuals and groups, both State and Non-State actors parading themselves as the spokespersons for the faith community, this book is opportune. It is a welcome relief to explore one of the core principles of Islamic Thought, one that is often only paid lip service. In the blurb on the back cover, many eminent scholars from around the globe voice their appreciation of the excellent critical scholarship Kamali always brings to bear on his writings.
