ReviewsThis is a very accessible book, which treats a significant issue relating to Islam and morality. Professor Leaman's analysis, especially the complex relationship between law and ethics, will surely stimulate further scholarly discussion of the principles of ethics and the theory behind its formulation in Islam and in its foundational scripture. His book will be a welcome contribution to Islamic studies and to ethics., "Leaman's style of philosophic writing draws readers into discussions of justice, conflict, health, bodies, nature, and choice as moral issues with stimulus from the Koran and rational inquiry. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers; general readers." - CHOICE

SynopsisIslam and Morality considers how Islam, the Qur'an, and other Islamic texts have approached the ethics of a variety of contemporary and historical issues. Oliver Leaman provides a varied, balanced, and thought-provoking account of how Islamic thinkers discussed medical ethics, wealth, poverty, the environment, and law. He explores the work of a range of Islamic thinkers, including Rumi, Ibn al-'Arabi, al-Ghazali, Mutahhari and Barlas, while taking into consideration the different branches of Islam and Islamic theology and law. The book also considers how Islam understands the concept of free will, the relationship between good and evil, and far less abstract topics like what we should eat and drink. Aimed at upper level undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers working in Islamic Studies and ethics, this is one of the first books to provide a sustained reading of the importance of ethics within Islam.
