Abstract

What happens if an age comes where divine norms no longer constitute a reference point in guiding people’s lives? Who is to speak for the divine will in the modern age, and how is God’s law to play any meaningful role in the age of modernity? We live in a world where Muslims are misunderstood and terribly mistreated by those who are ignorant or prejudiced towards Islam.

As a result, Muslims find themselves with a conflicting conscience, as Khaled Abou El-Fadl describes it, trying to reconcile between the “Islamic dream and the chaos of the modern condition.”
