❓What if Islamic law wasn’t just about rules—but about ethics, purpose, and human wellbeing?
A lot of what we hear about Islamic law focuses on rules and structures. But there’s also a deeper intellectual tradition—one that asks about purpose, ethics, and human wellbeing. 💭
In collaboration with the lovely team at and , join us for us for an evening with Dr Mariam Sheibani on her latest book, An Islamic Legal Philosophy: Ibn ‘Abd al-Salām and the Ethical Turn in Islamic Law.
✨ In this illuminating study, Dr Mariam uncovers a rich but often overlooked chapter of Islamic intellectual history—where law is not merely formal, but deeply rooted in maṣlaḥa (human benefit) and guided by higher ethical aims.
Through the legacy of the great jurist Ibn ‘Abd al-Salām, discover how Islamic law was lived, embodied, and even used as a force for social reform in medieval Damascus and Cairo—and why this ethical vision still matters today.
