Shari'a law and the modern nation-state: a malaysian symposium

---

This book and the response that it evokes in the minds of its readers should prove a significant contribution to the emergence of such an approach: one that is both authentically grounded in the Qur'anic worldview and at the same time based upon a discerning appreciation of the challenges of ever advancing modernity, upon which today's Muslims cannot, and should not, turn their backs. The arguments presented and the issues raised in this book demand serious consideration from a readership of thinking Muslims who in equal measure value their religious heritage and recognize the need to shape intelligently sustainable future for its inheritors. In Malaysia as elsewhere, the shaping of that future is not something to be left solely to those conventionally recognized as "religiously learned", or to any special section of the umma. Rather, it is the common task of all within the worldwide umma if contemporary Muslims are to find ways of effectively addressing the challenges of today and tomorrow.
