Evidence location: Muhammad Shahrur, Religion and Power; Page 363؛ OCR line 6642. Arabic source witness: «كل القرارات التي اتخذها (ص) والتي لها علاقة بالسلطة والدولة والقتال، والموجودة بكثرة في كتب الفقه والحديث والسياسة الشرعية، لايمكن اعتبارها دينًا بالأصل»
Meaning
The text states: “Arab Islamic thought has not moved beyond its inherited authorities in jurisprudence, hadith, kalam, and Sufism.” This atom reads the statement as a critique of the continued presence of those authorities in thought, without attributing to the text a broader claim that the evidence does not explicitly state.
What the Evidence Does Not Establish
The statement alone does not show that heritage became conflated with Islam, that it became a final religious authority, or that the past replaced the text. These formulations require additional verbatim evidence from the book.

Documentation Limits
The evidence is recorded as verified, but its raw context is unavailable in the evidence package; the page therefore confines itself to the wording of the quotation and does not infer more from it than it says.
