| As-salaam aleikum, I'm writing a paper for my sociology class that will be on Islam. I need help in finding ayat or ahadith regarding what Islam says about society in general. So far I found verse 13 from surat al Hujurat. If anyone can help me with any more within these 2 days, I'd really appreciate it. Jazzakum Allah Emerald |

| As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah, Hmmnnn....most Islaamic teachings have to do with our individual/collective role in society and/or to God. Maybe check out some books, like Syed Qutb's "Social Justice in Islam" or articles on man's vicegerency on earth (2:30), etc to help you pull concepts together for your paper, insha'Allah. Qutb is the only author coming to mind at the moment, but here are some links that may/may not help: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/1408/socity.htm http://www.themodernreligion.com/index1.html http://www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/Books/KM_shariah/index.htm http://www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/Books/SH_SL/default.htm ***Another author just came to mind: Muhammad Hashim Kamali. His books are excellent, suitable for both Muslims and non-Muslims. He's got titles such as: Freedom of Expression in Islaam, The Dignity of Man, one on Usool-ul-Fiqh/Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence, etc.*** |

| [slm]sister, another one just came to my mind: [center]Dr Ali Shariati[/center] for a link, i am afraid you will have to do a yahoo search. The works of both Ayatullah Khomenei & Ali Shariati were regarded as the basis for the revolution in Iran, but after the Mujahideen-e-Khalq split from Khomeini, & adopted Ali Shariti's work as their gospel, Islamic Iran tried to disown Shariati. i think i read somewhere that he was rehabilitated, but i cannot say for sure. anyway i read one of his books in the early days & it looked good at that time. |
