This index gathers the structure within the book Islam and Humanity and links it to the index of claims.
Structure pages
- Islam is a human value framework broader than exclusive confessional belonging
- Islam precedes the specificity of the Muhammadan message historically and conceptually
- The distinction between sin, offense, and transgression distributes responsibility among forgiveness, reform, and persistence
- Freedom and human values constitute the criterion of Islam and the basis for resisting tyranny
- The civil state regulates the public sphere by law, not by religious prohibition
- Understanding Islam requires beginning with the Qur’an through a sequential method that establishes the distinction of terms
- The concepts of loyalty, disbelief, and polytheism are reread on a value-based, not identity-based, foundation
