Re-envisioning Islamic Scholarship is a pioneering and timely contribution that deserves wide readership. Jasser Auda masterfully focalises the Quran and Sunnah in a work that integrates scholarship across time and disciplines to demonstrate the connectivity of human thought and action within a purposeful universe of infinite possibilities.\nThrough a five-step holistic methodology, he urges scholars and practitioners in all fields of knowledge and endeavour to seek revelational guidance by performing continuous cycles of reflection on the revelation that reveal this connectivity.\nHere, the maqasid or objectives of revelational guidance manifest through a process of emergence that is premised on deep understandings of the concepts, objectives, values, commands, universal laws, groups and proofs that implicitly or explicitly shape our understandings and help re-envision research agendas, educational institutes and organisational strategies.\nIn a world that has become accustomed to individualism, inequality, fragmentation and loss of meaning this book is a paradigm shift, a beacon of light and a very welcome guide to a better future for humanity.

A Journey to God: Reflections on the Hikam of Ibn Ataillah

At a time when misogyny and hostile attitudes towards women are plaguing Muslim communities throughout the world, Dr Jasser Auda presents a timely and vital challenge to the contentious issue of women's access to the mosque, expounding the Islamic perspective. The initial rights that Islam made sacrosanct for women have been tarnished over the centuries by patriarchal structures and cultural limitations which are far removed from Islamic ideals. Using multiple references to the Quran and the Prophetic traditions, Auda builds a provocative and eye-opening narrative which tackles the issue of women in the mosque head on. Auda explores the controversial interpretations that arise from so called 'problem' hadiths, and addresses the topic of female leadership from both theological and social angles, as well as tackling the ongoing issue of gender segregation. Reclaiming The Mosque is a crucial response to the current trials facing Muslim communities, and moreover it offers a clear and cohesive call to action that harks back to the Islamic principles of freedom, justice, and human rights.
