Description

Islam and Morality: A Philosophical Introduction by Oliver Leaman explores how Islamic texts approach ethics in various contemporary and historical issues. The book examines the work of influential thinkers, including Rumi, Ibn al-'Arabi, and al-Ghazali, as well as their perspectives on medical ethics, wealth, poverty, the environment, and law. Leaman considers the different branches of Islam and Islamic theology and law to provide a balanced account of how Islamic thinkers have discussed key topics such as free will, good and evil, and everyday choices like what we eat and drink. This book is an important contribution to understanding ethics within Islam, making it a valuable resource for those studying Islamic Studies and ethics. Aimed at upper level undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers, this book offers a sustained reading of the importance of ethics in Islamic thought.
