Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic work, written by one of the greatest modern scholars of Islamic law, focuses on the need for a reinterpretation of Islamic jurisprudence and for a rediscovery of its original philosophy. Fyzee presents a fresh critique of Islam based on historical, scientific, and comparative principles. He contends that rules of law can be modified in modern times for the purpose of healthy reforms without compromising on the essential sprit of Islam. In an introduction written especially for this edition, Saiyid Hamid widens the scope of the discussion and shows the books significance for todays world where misunderstandings about Islam abound. Drawing from the works of contemporary scholars, as well as of those from earlier periods, he brings to light essential concepts in Islamic thought -- reason, the spirit of inquiry, social justice, mercy, non-aggression, and individual responsibility.

Book excerpt: Mystic Regimes is a social-scientific and Iranological study of two Iranian, Shi‘ite Sufi orders in the twentieth century. It studies their comparative social development in relation to political regimes and explores the cultural repertoires that Sufis have used to cope with these. The introductory part examines the interpretation and the development, until the end of the Qajar era, of Iranian Sufism. The second part explores Sufism in the Pahlavi era. The third part deals with the Sufi orders in the Islamic Republic. The fourth part provides afterthoughts on the relations between Sufi cultural repertoires and civil society. Because of its unique archival and field material, Mystic Regimes is especially important for scholars in Iranian and Sufi studies.
