This Law of Ours and Other Essays

The thesis propounded in this book is based on several essays published in the periodical Arafat, which the author wrote and edited in the 40s. Arafat was a "one man's journal" - as its subtitle stated "a monthly critique of Muslim thought" - a kind of journalistic monologue meant to clarify the great confusion prevailing in the Muslim Ummah as to the scope and the practical implications of Islamic Law. The aim of this book is to contribute something to a clarification of this fundamental issue confronting the world of Islam in its period of transition.
