• Islam, in Shahrur’s view, is a universal human religion broader than private faith
• The three pillars constitute a devotional covenant
• Shahrur’s legislation distinguishes between divine prohibition and human ijtihad
• The Qur’anic family distinction redefines fatherhood, motherhood, and adoption
• The distinction between messenger and prophet redefines the boundaries of authority and revelation
• Religion, in Shahrur’s view, is a free covenant that rejects coercion and violence
• The Islamic covenant, in Shahrur’s view, rests on value-based pillars, not ritual affiliation
• In Shahrur’s view, the concepts of unbelief, polytheism, and testimony are epistemic, not combative
