Mashood Baderin’s International Human Rights and Islamic Law is a monumentalcontribution to an area that needs more scholarly contributionsfrom intellectuals and scholars of Islamic law. Currently, there is a paucityof perspectives on this issue from the standpoint of the Shari`ah. Besidesenlightening readers to the Shari`ah’s sources, nuances, intricacies, anddynamism, Baderin demolishes the myth of a clash of perspectives betweenthe West and the Shari`ah. The reader comes away more knowledgeableabout the mechanics of Islamic law and is able to glean that Islamic law isfar more progressive, humane, and dynamic than the perception constructedby the neo-Orientalists.This book will be very illuminating for students, administrators, andjudicial personnel not only from the western world, but also for those in theIslamic world. Besides being knowledgeable in Islamic law, scripture, andHadith, Baderin shows a remarkable grasp and understanding of internationalhuman rights law. Each chapter is very comprehensive and informativefrom the secular and religious perspectives. After delineating the discourse,he describes and then defuses the apparent incompatibility between ...

Restrictive Policy

The subject of the paper is the issue of restrictions on religious freedom during the COVID-19 pandemic imposed by European countries. The period under examination covers the interval from March to December 2020. The issue is analyzed from the point of view of respecting human rights in a situation of conflict between the values of public health and religious freedom. In this context, the perception of importance and urgency regarding the values that should be protected and the concept of “essential goods”, which are understood differently in secular and religious perspectives, are of particular importance. Another essential issue is not only the scope but also the “depth” of state intervention in the life of religious communities. In Europe, there was a wide variety of national approaches to restricting religious freedom in order to ensure public health. Some of them pursued a very restrictive policy in this area, others moderate, and others very soft. One also could observe the difference in decisions made by most countries during the first and the second waves of the pandemic. A significant element enabling a possible evaluation of the applied solutions is the matter of their duration. Are the introduced limitations only temporary, implemented due to the extraordinary situation, or should they be view as a part of a “radical political experiment”, as a result of which the very understanding of religious freedom and its place in the hierarchy of human rights will change. The arguments of a philosophical, theological, legal and sociological nature are analyzed issuing methods appropriate to each of these disciplines.

The Ideal

In terms of the parameter of ‘Good Life’, the Declaration of Human Rights as well as the ideals of religions and science have in fact been criticized respectively, and considered flawed. While the Declaration of Human Rights is universal in character – hence they can become a point of convergence among different religions – it is also susceptible to political manipulation, and subject to criticism from particular religious perspectives as well as from scientific outlook. As with science itself, its perspective is considered too narrow and mundane, when viewed from religious perspectives, that is, science deliberately leaves out the mysterious transcendental dimension inherent in human life. On the other hand, religion has also been under severe criticisms these days, due to its contradictory tendencies. At this juncture, atheist scientists come up with a point of view which they claim to be more neutral and objective as far as it concerns the ideal of ‘good life’. At least this is what Sam Harris believes it to be, in his idea of “moral landscape”.
