An-Na'im is an independent-minded intellectual who has raised sensitive issues (such as his belief that interpretations of sharia have led to discrimination against non-Muslim minorities in the Arab world) that many Muslims and their advocates would prefer to keep out of public debate...The crux of An-Na'im's Islam and the Secular State is that Muslims should be allowed to practice their faith as they see fit and should comply with sharia, but voluntarily. The call from Islamists to impose sharia with the full power of the state will only lead to totalitarianism, he argues. To bolster his claim, he notes that the Koran never mentions the idea of a state and does not prescribe a particular form of government., Few books in Islamic studies have been as eagerly awaited or intenselydebated prior to publication as Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im's Islam and the Secular State: Negotiating the Future of Shari'a...[This book] testifies to the richness of [Ahmed An-Na'im's] life work, and to the courage of an author who deserves to be recognized as one of the most important religious thinkers of our age., [A] controversial and topical book...Although not all Muslim scholars will fully agree with An-Na'im's proposals regarding the institutional separation of Islam and the state, his thoughts are a step forward towards a healthy negotiation for the future of Sharia., Few books in Islamic studies have been as eagerly awaited or intenselydebated prior to publication as Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'e~im'e(tm)s Islam and the Secular State: Negotiating the Future of Shari'e~a ...[This book] testifies to the richness of [Ahmed An-Na'e~im'e(tm)s] life work, and to the courage of an author who deserves to be recognized as one of the most important religious thinkers of our age., Two debates pervade almost all discussions about Islam, Muslim societies and the role of both in the 21st century. The first revolves around the shari'a, a kind of comprehensive Muslim guide to good conduct, and its applicability within Muslim majority states. The other frames capitalism, socialism and secularism as antipodes to what Islam cannot or should not be. This book engages both, arguing that secularism is not as an unwelcome counter force to 'true' Islam but is the indispensable path to reclaiming Islam to advance pluralism, human rights, women's rights, civil society and citizenship. Abdullahi An-Na'im is a public intellectual known far beyond the academy and the American continent. In Africa, in Asia and throughout the Middle East his is a courageous voice for secular Islam. There is no book like this one: brilliant, compelling, and optimistic., Few books in Islamic studies have been as eagerly awaited or intenselydebated prior to publication as Abdullahi Ahmed An-Naims Islam and the Secular State: Negotiating the Future of Sharia ...[This book] testifies to the richness of [Ahmed An-Naims] life work, and to the courage of an author who deserves to be recognized as one of the most important religious thinkers of our age., Mak[es] a powerful theological case for abandoning the very notion of an Islamic state. [An-Na'im] argues that the claims of these so-called states to enforce the Sharia repudiate the fundamental right of religious choice implicit in a Koranic verse that says there can be "no compulsion in religion.", An-Na'im lays out with candor and elegance the need for the state to be secular for all citizens, and explores Muslim polities in Indonesia, India and Turkey., Few books in Islamic studies have been as eagerly awaited or intenselydebated prior to publication as Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im's Islam and the Secular State: Negotiating the Future of Shari'a ...[This book] testifies to the richness of [Ahmed An-Na'im's] life work, and to the courage of an author who deserves to be recognized as one of the most important religious thinkers of our age., Muslim scholar and human rights activist An-Na'im has written extensively on law and human rights in the Islamic world. Here, he turns to the subject of the state's coercive enforcement of Sharia--Koran-based Islamic law--in predominantly Muslim societies, arguing that its promulgation of Sharia is contrary to the Koranic insistence on the voluntary acceptance of Islam and the freely chosen adherence to its commandments.

Synopsis
What should be the place of Shari'a--Islamic religious law--in predominantly Muslim societies of the world? In this book, a Muslim scholar and human rights activist envisions a positive and sustainable role for Shari'a, based on a profound rethinking of the relationship between religion and the secular state in all societies., What should be the place of Shari'a--Islamic religious law--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 Shari'a, based on a profound rethinking of the relationship between religion and the secular state in all societies. An-Na'im argues that the coercive enforcement of Shari'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, Shari'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-Na'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 Shari'a. In fact, he suggests, the very idea of an "Islamic state" is based on European ideas of state and law, and not Shari'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 Shari'a in Muslim societies.
