Jackson (University of Southern California) argues that "'Religion,' in Islam was not identical to Islam's 'sacred law,' or 'shari'ah.' Nor did classical Muslim jurists see shari'ah as the all-encompassing, exclusive means of determining what is 'Islamic.'"
- In "Status of Women in Modern Family and Personal Law" (in The Oxford Handbook of Islam and Women (Oxford University Press, 2024)), Sohaira Siddiqui (Georgetown University in Qatar) "explores the theoretical debates on reform and connects it to legislative changes and civil society organizations. The contemporary case studies of Morocco and Malaysia are used as examples."
- In "Modern Rereadings of Classical Legal Texts on Women" (in The Oxford Handbook of Islam and Women (Oxford University Press, 2024)), Natana J. DeLong-Bas (Boston College) "provides a broad overview of the construction of the scholarly study of classical Islamic law pertaining to women and gender from the nineteenth century through the present."
- In Morality and Revelation in Islamic Thought and Beyond: A New Problem of Evil (Oxford University Press, 2024), Amir Saemi (Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences) "Saemi demonstrates how Islamic thinkers of various historical traditions (including the Ash'arites, the Mu'tazilites, and the Greek influenced Philosophers, falasifa) adhered to a scripture-first view."
