Abstract

The book is divided into five chapters: “In Search of a Comprehensive Definition of Ethics,” “The Genesis of Moral Reasoning in Religious Ethics,” “Scriptural Sources of Ethical Methodology,” “Natural Law and Ethical Necessity,” “The Ethics of Interpretive Jurisprudence,” in addition to an intro- duction and epilogue. The main argument of the work is that “Islamic eth- ics is not only integral” to juridical methodology and social ethics but is also “a critical component of the entire religious worldview presented by the Qurʾan” (x). Sachedina proposes to see the “Islamic juridical tradition as a fundamental source for the study of Islamic ethics” (121). He believes that the core of the Qurʾānic message is individual morality, moral advancement, self-purification (tazakkī, in his words), as well as social justice and fairness (7, 8, 18, 183).
