Radical Reform: Islamic Ethics and Liberation
Ramadan, Tariq (Visiting Fellow, St Anthony College, Oxford; Senior Research Fellow Lokahi Foundation, London, Visiting Fellow, St Anthony College, Oxford; Senior Research Fellow Lokahi Foundation, London)
In this new book, Tariq Ramadan argues that it is crucial to find theoretical and practical solutions that will enable Western Muslims to remain faithful to Islamic ethics while fully living within their societies and their time. He notes that Muslim scholars often refer to the notion of ijtihad (critical and renewed reading of the foundational texts) as the only way for Muslims to take up these modern challenges. But, Ramadan argues, in practice such readings haveeffectively reached the limits of their ability to serve the faithful in the West as well as the East. In this book he sets forward a radical new concept of ijtihad, which puts context - including the knowledge derived from the hard and human sciences, cultures and their geographic and historicalcontingencies - on an equal footing with the scriptures as a source of Islamic law.
