Shari'a Law and the Modern Nation State:
A Malaysian Symposium
Norani Othman
(ed)
This is a collection of papers presented at a symposium of Muslim social
activists in Kuala Lumpur in 1992 to attempt to grapple with the question of how
should an Islamic state be run. While the Prophet Muhammad experimented with a
model that recognised the needs of both Muslims and non-Muslims, the less
flexible model of the 'Western state' has today tended sideline the openness of
early Muslims. In addition there are big differences in time and context between
the Medina city state and where Muslims find themselves today. 160 pages with an
index.
