Non Muslims in the Islamic Society

---

"Yusuf al-Qaradawi makes an in-depth study of the doctrinal position of Islam toward non-Muslims in an Islamic state. But he does not exhaust himself on the exposition of the doctrine: he goes beyond its theoretical formulation and views the doctrine in its historic context over the centuries. And that is not only fair but in the best tradition of intellectual probity. To him doctrines, constitutions, and laws are of no consequence unless contrary to man-made laws, they are held sacrosanct and sustained by the common will. That is why he sees the implementation of the Islamic law in the collective conscience of the Muslim people -a conscience shaped by their reverence of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace.

His treatment of the subject is scholarly, yet not pedantic. He seeks all the issues and discusses them at length, without encumbering the narrative flow. However, what authenticates him is his commitment to truth. With the shari'ah as his grundschaft and the practice of the Muslim people as his witness, he deftly rests his case with the tribunal of history. The end result is a highly satisfying work."
