Forbidding Wrong in Islam

Michael Cook, Cambridge University Press | ISBN 0521536022 | 2003 | PDF | 1 MB | 200 pages

The differences between modern Western and traditional Islamic views have clear consequences in the modern Islamic world. As a consequence of the Western impact, the Muslim doctrine of forbidding wrong now confronts a conception of minding one’s own business significantly different from its own. In the global setting in which we now live, there is a much stronger sense than before that the Muslim community is just one among others, and in consequence that it enjoys no monopoly of moral judgement.Its members are accordingly liable to be subjected to an unprecedented degree of moral scrutiny and condemnation from outside their own community. At the same time the focus of this scrutiny is often precisely on the attempts of zealous Muslims to impose their own standards of virtue on their co-religionists.
