About this ebook

The Vicegerency of man is a timely contribution to the debate on Revelation and reason that has ‎always been a central issue in Islamic thought. The book aims to clarify the relationship between ‎reason and Revelation, and to show that far from being mutually exclusive, they both contribute to ‎a correct portrayal of reality.‎

Rooting his study firmly within the Islamic framework, Dr. al Najjar expounds on the role of reason ‎and the intellect in helping humankind to accomplish the role of vicegerency of man on earth on ‎two levels. Firstly, on the level of understanding the Revealed Text, and secondly, on the level of ‎the application of the divine principles and their adaptation to the realities of human existence ‎through time and space. In so doing, he shows the limits of using solely Revelation or reason in the ‎search for truth and demonstrates that a reconciliation of the two is necessary to serve the interests ‎and well-being of humankind- which is the ultimate goal of Revelation.‎
