In 'Public Freedoms in the Islamic State', he argues that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights--in its broad outlines--meets with wide acceptance among Muslims if their interpretation of Islamic law is correct. Under his theory of the purposes of Shari'a, justice and human welfare are not exclusive to Islamic governance, and the objectives of Islamic law can be advanced in multiple ways. Translated by David L. Johnston. Zusammenfassung Available now for the first time in English! the most important work of one of the great moderate political leaders of the Muslim world
