It evaluates which Islamic State will be able to accomplish and lead this Qur'?nic society, and what will be its 'dynamic Law' and the new economic order and social justice. The book finally looks at the essential role the permanent war-for-God should have in the face of new worldwide anti-Islamic paganism, and it concludes with extremism (of Qu?b and, more, of the 'Qu?bists') and with the promising muslim thinking in resistance to it. The large Selection of texts of 'F? ?il?l', translated by W. Shepard, is very valuable. |
