ABROGATION IN THE QURAN AND ISLAMIC LAW
₦24,000.00
This book traces the development of the concept of abrogation from its most basic form to the complex and multi-faceted doctrine it has become. The book also critiques the role of abrogation in rationalizing the view that not all of the Qur’anic revelation has survived in the “mushaf” i.e. the written record of the Qur’an. This role makes understanding abrogation an essential prerequisite for studying the history of the Qur’anic text.
In addition to critically analyzing the conceptual and documentary bases of each mode of abrogation, the book takes a practical approach by examining specific popular abrogation claims, such as the stoning penalty, the law on fighting non-Muslims and on inheritance. With the exception of one work that was published over two decades ago and suffers from a number of shortcomings, this is the only book in English that is dedicated to the study of abrogation. The book is suitable as a reference work on abrogation for both the expert and the more general reader.
