Description
x"A superior [book]. . . . the meaning and implications of justice in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are analyzed and compared. . . . [It] gives particular emphasis to the institutional context of justice and gender equality in the social, economic, and political arenas in Muslim countries."--Baha Abu-Laban, University of Alberta
Islam today counts one billion people as adherents or believers. Its teachings produced a civilization that has flourished for fourteen centuries. Islamic identity exerts a potent force around the globe, though Muslims are often stigmatized by Westerners as a religious threat. Presenting the Islamic concept of justice, this book is an introduction to contemporary Islamic thought and practice, offering a catalyst for dialogue and understanding.
