Description
Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong in Islamic Thought explores a central moral tenet in the Islamic tradition: stopping others from doing wrong. This obligation is a striking exception to the question of how we should act when faced with wrongdoing.
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the history of Islamic reflection on this issue, shedding light on its relevance for politics and ideology in the contemporary Islamic world. Michael Cook's work offers a compelling examination of this complex topic, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of Islamic thought.
