Welcome

Debating the Future of Shari'a in a Secular State

 

ABOUT THE PROJECT - The Future of Shari`a: Secularism from an Islamic Perspective

This project is the current initiative of Prof. Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Law at Emory School of Law.

The project celebrates and seeks to contribute to the struggle of Islamic societies to define themselves in the context of the local and global conditions under which they live. A key aspect of this process is the constitutional and legal dimensions of the post-colonial experiences of Islamic societies, especially the relationship among Islam, state and society.
