What Is Attributed to Shahrur

Shahrur says that affirming the existence of God, the Last Day, and righteous action is necessary for a person to fall within the sphere of Muhammad Shahrur Islam and Humanity. He makes righteous action a pillar of Islam rather than a pillar of faith.

He cites verses in which he reads a distinction between righteous action and the establishment of prayer and the giving of alms, thereby distinguishing righteous action from rituals in this context.
