ILSS: “Ādamiyyah: I am Therefore I have Rights” with Recep Senturk, Program in Islamic Law

On Tuesday, October 8, 2024, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST via Zoom, Professor Recep Senturk (Hamad Bin Khalifa University) will present Ādamiyyah: I am Therefore I have Rights (Usul Academy Press, 2025). This book explores the concept of Ādamiyya and Huqūq al-Ādamiyyīn in Islamic law and its implications in practice from the time of Prophet Muhammad, His Predecessors, the Umayyad and Abbasid periods, Andalusia and the Islamic rule in India. Special attention is paid to how the concept of Ādamiyya was used in relation to non-Ahl al-Kitāb people such as Buddhists, Hindus, and Zoroastrians under Islamic rule. The book argues that the universalistic view of Islamic law based on the concept of Ādamiyya went into eclipse with the rise of nation states in the Muslim and it needs to be revived again. Registration is required.
