Shahrur’s Statement in the Recorded Witness
The available evidence attributes the following statement to him: «He affirms that basic human values such as honesty, trustworthiness, and not harming people are innate, universal values that require no proof and are not put to a vote».
Meaning in This Atom
The point is to establish the general status of these values: they are not presented as choices whose basis is established by voting, but as shared values in the description recorded by the witness. This is a limited statement of what is reported, not an inference of legislative or political details from it.
Limits of Reading and Documentation
The witness is verified in the evidence record, but its detailed location in the raw text is unavailable. The page therefore preserves the claim within its scope and does not attribute to it a broader context or unverified practical conclusions. For the broader context, see Muhammad Shahrur Islam and Faith and Islam, Faith, and Righteous Deeds.
