Islam: Constants & Categoricals

Islam: Constants & Categoricals, edited by Muhammad Yusri Ibrahim and reviewed by a group of eminent clerics and Islamic scholars, is a comprehensive scholarly work published by Guraba.

This book addresses one of the most important distinctions in Islamic thought — the difference between the fixed, unchangeable constants of Islam (thawabit) and the variable, contextual categoricals (mutaghayyirat). Understanding this distinction is essential for navigating contemporary Islamic jurisprudence, political thought, and religious reform.

Key topics explored include:

• The foundations of Islamic constants and their role in preserving the religion
• The Politics of Islamic Sharia — participation, reform, and the role of ijtihad
• The significance of ijtihad and renewal in current political affairs
• How Islamic scholars navigate political participation, governance, and reform
• The relationship between Sharia, justice, and the Islamic nation

Reviewed and endorsed by eminent Islamic scholars, this is an essential reference for students of Islamic jurisprudence, political Islam, and contemporary Muslim thought.
