| adam_text | “This book is a personal intellectual journey of a knowledgeable mind. Khaled Abou El
Fadl calls for a new methodology in dealing with both the scriptural sources and the
world. A much-needed voice, constructively critical and full of hope.”
—TARIQ RAMADAN, University of Oxford
“Part memoir, part analysis, and part message to the perplexed, this book is essential
reading for anyone interested in the relationship between Islam, Muslims, and modernity.”
—NADER HASHEMI, University of Denver
“Seldom have courage and vulnerability combined with erudition in as riveting a fashion
as displayed in this book. Abou El Fadl is exacting without being abstruse, passionate but
never loud. There is much to be debated in this highly informative, critically argued text.”
—SHERMAN A. JACKSON, University of Southern California
“In this important new book, Khaled Abou El Fadl solidifies his well-earned reputation as
a leading scholar and public voice on Islam. The author firmly situates Islam in the mod-
ern world and asks piercing questions about what it means to be Muslim. He stakes out
a path to ‘reclaim Shari‘ah,’ making this a fascinating read regardless of one s personal
religious beliefs.” —JOEL A. NICHOLS, University of St. Thomas School of Law
In Reasoning with God, renowned Islamic scholar Khaled Abou El Fadl explains not only
what Shari ah really means but also the way it can revitalize and reengage contemporary
Islam. After an essential overview of Shari ah, Abou El Fadl explores the moral trajec-
tory of Islam in today s world. Weaving powerful personal stories with broader global
examples, he shows the ways that some interpretations of Islam today have undermined
its potential for peace and love. Rather than simply outlining challenges, however, the
author provides constructive suggestions about how Muslims can reengage the ethi-
cal tradition of their faith through Shari ah. Reasoning with God takes readers—both
Muslim and non-Muslim—beyond superficial understandings of Shari ah to a deeper
understanding of its meaning and potential.
KHALED ABOU EL FADL is the Omar and Azmeralda Alfi Distinguished Professor in
Islamic Law at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Law, where he is also
chair of the Islamic Studies program. He received the University of Oslo Human Rights
Award, was named a Carnegie Scholar in Islamic Law, and has served on the board of
directors for Human Rights Watch, among other honors. He is the author of numerous
books, including The Great Theft and The Search for Beauty in Islam.
