Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Why does the Qurʾan contain legal verses, and how have scholars interpreted them across the centuries? Regulative Verses of the Qurʾan offers a comprehensive study of how Islamic law emerged from scriptural interpretation, by exploring the nature of law in the Qurʾan itself and in Islamic thought, including in the foundational yet often overlooked genre of aḥkām al-Qurʾān. Through detailed analysis of classical and contemporary texts, the volume reveals how jurists across Sunni, Shia, and Ibadi traditions have debated the meaning, scope, and application of legal verses. Drawing on rare primary sources and philosophical perspectives this book is an essential resource, illuminating the rich interplay between divine revelation, legal reasoning, and ethical inquiry in Islam.
