Islam and the secular state: Negotiating the future of shari'a

---

Islam and the Secular State: Negotiating the Future of Shari’a by Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na’im examines the relationship between Islam, the state, and secular governance, proposing a reinterpretation of how Shari’a can coexist with modern democratic principles. The book argues that Shari’a should not be enforced by the state but embraced voluntarily by Muslims as a matter of personal conviction and moral choice. Through comparative analysis of Muslim-majority countries—including Sudan, Indonesia, and Turkey—An-Na’im explores different models of secularism and their implications for religious freedom, human rights, and constitutional law. Ultimately, the book envisions a pluralistic framework where Islam flourishes within a secular state that guarantees equality and justice for all citizens regardless of faith.
