Toward an Islamic Reformation is an ambitious attempt to modernize Islamic law, calling for reform of the historical formulations of Islamic law, commonly known as Shari'a that is perceived by many Muslims to be part of the Islamic faith. As a Muslim, Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im is sensitive to and appreciative of the delicate relationship between Islam as a religion and Islamic law. Nevertheless, he considers that the questions raised here must be resolved if the public law of Islam is to be implemented today. An-Na'im draws upon the teachings and writings of Sudanese reformer Mahmoud Mohamed Taha to provide what some have called the intellectual foundations for a total reinterpretation of the nature and meaning of Islamic public law.

An Introduction to Key Debates between Islamic Law and International Human Rights Law
Is there a basis for human rights in Islam? Beginning with an exploration of what rights are and how the human rights discourse developed, Abdullah Saeed explores the resources that exist within Islamic tradition. He looks at those that are compatible with international human rights law and can be garnered to promote and protect human rights in Muslim-majority states. A number of rights are given specific focus, including the rights of women and children, freedom of expression and religion, as well as jihad and the laws of war. Human Rights and Islam emphasises the need for Muslims to rethink problematic areas of Islamic thought that are difficult to reconcile with contemporary conceptions of human rights.

Sebagai makhluk sosial, manusia tidak bisa lepas dari hubungan dengan orang lain dalam kerangka memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Kebutuhan manusia sangat beragam, sehingga terkadang secara pribadi dia tidak mamapu untuk memenuhinya, dan harus berhubungan dengan orang lain. Hubungan anatara satu manusia dengan manusia lain dalam memenuhi kebutuhan lain, harus terdapat aturan yang menjelaskan hak dan kewajiban keduanya berdasarkan kesepakatan. Proses untuk membuat kesepakatan dalam kerangka memenuhi kebutuhan keduanya, lazim disebut dengan proses untuk berakad atau melakukan kontrak. Hubungan ini merupakan fitrah yang sudah ditakdirkan oleh Allah. Islam sebagai agama komprehensif dan universal memberikan aturan yang cukup jelas dalam akad untuk dapat diimplementasikan dalam setiap masa.
