Description

This book is a comprehensive introductory text to the subject of Western Muslims' diverse interpretations, discussions and practices of Shari'a with a particular focus on their daily lives in the West. Through a series of interconnected chapters, the book navigates key themes such as Shari'a and legal pluralism, Shari'a vis-à-vis the experiences and political participation of Muslims in Western democracies, the role of religious scholars, the dynamics of Shari'a courts, Shari'a and multiple belongings, and transnational loyalties. Functioning as a comprehensive reader and handbook, the book offers non-experts a comprehensive understanding of the meaning and relevance of Shari'a in Western contexts, exploring how Muslims interpret and apply its principles in their lived experiences and challenging the one-dimensional narratives.
