About the book
In The Second Message of Islam, Sudanese thinker Mahmoud Mohamed Taha develops his most influential argument: that Islamic legislation can be understood as a historical movement from subsidiary provisions toward the Quran's original principles of freedom, equality and human dignity. The book ranges across spiritual development, individual freedom, Sharia and Sunna, democracy, socialism, gender, education and the meaning of religious renewal.
This new edition is translated from the complete Arabic fourth edition and reviewed page by page. It preserves the author's terminology and controversial formulations without silently modernizing them, while presenting the text in clear, searchable English with a full table of contents and concise glossary.
Read a sample
The matter becomes plain when we recognize that Islam, as presented in the Quran, came in two stages: the stage of creed and the stage of truth—or, as it may also be called, the stage of knowledge. Each stage contains three degrees.
This visible excerpt is drawn from the opening argument of Chapter One.
