˜The World of Fatwas provides a new prism to non-Muslims for observing Islam, and holds up a mirror to Muslims,
challenging them to necessary introspection for adjusting to a changing world`“ J.N. Dixit, diplomat and former Indian Foreign Secretary, of Outlook

Why are women ˜the greatest affliction`? Why is slaughtering cows seen as a ˜great Islamic act` when the Quran does not even mention it? Why must believers put down non-believers?

In this meticulously researched book, Arun Shourie looks at the social, religious and political contexts of fatwas down the ages. With a mountain of fatwas as his text, he shows us the Shariah in action; he unravels the history of fatwas, and the implications that a faithful, dogmatic adherence to these Islamic decrees holds for the ˜believer`. And hence for the non-believers.

First published in 1995, this revised, up-to-date and expanded edition provides both Muslims and non-Muslims alike an even more clear-eyed look at the controversial world of fatwas.
