Summary: An Invaluable Book!!
Comment: What Mr. El Fadl has done in this book is nothing short of extraordinary. His project is to first explain to the reader how the Islamic jurisprudential system works: this is the system by which religious pronouncements were rated on a scale of reliability. He then proceeds to demonstrate that many of the current ethical pronouncements and fatwas issued by Islamic religious authorities (especially those concerning women's rights) do not meet Islam's criteria of reliability and rigor. El Fadl is not interested in denouncing Islam as heresy. He is a believer who is arguing only that those in positions of power in Islam must meet Islam's standards for reliability and rigor when making a pronouncement about a sacred text. The writing is lucid and vibrant and one does not need to have a scholarly understanding of Islam to appreciate the work El Fadl is doing at UCLA.

Summary: The Most Important Muslim Thinker
Comment: Abou El Fadl is clearly the most important thinker on Islamic law today. This book is amazing. It opened my eyes as if I am learning Islam for the very first time. The book is mostly about women and Islamic law and its insights are nothing short of incredible. Every Muslim MUST read this book, especially the sisters out there.
