What is Attributed to Shahrur

Shahrur regards assent to the existence of God, the Last Day, and righteous action as requirements for a person to fall within the sphere of Muhammad Shahrur: Islam and Human. He maintains that righteous action is one of the pillars of Islam, not one of the pillars of Islam, faith, and righteous action.

He links this to honoring one’s parents, and understands the verse he cites as separating righteous action from establishing prayer and giving alms—that is, from rituals in this argument.

Limits of the Indication
