  • More about Human Rights and Reformist Islam

Human Rights and Reformist Islam offers a scholarly bridge between modernity and Islamic tradition, arguing for the reconciliation of human rights and Islam through structural ijtihad and rational classification of Islamic teachings. It challenges problematic verses and Hadith and provides solutions-based arguments.

Format: Hardback
Length: 480 pages
Publication date: 28 February 2021
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press


Human Rights and Reformist Islam is a book that challenges traditional Islamic perspectives on the compatibility of human rights with Islam and proposes a reconciliation from a reformist Islam perspective. It examines six controversial case studies: religious discrimination, gender discrimination, slavery, freedom of religion, punishment of apostasy, and arbitrary or harsh punishments. The author, Mohsen Kadivar, employs structural ijtihad to analyze Islamic teachings and identifies four criteria of being Islamic: reasonableness, justice, morality, and efficiency. He rejects problematic verses and Hadith that do not meet these criteria. The book offers a strong and solutions-based argument for human rights based on reformist Islam, providing a scholarly bridge between modernity and Islamic tradition.
