Ibrahim","description":"\u003cp\u003ePRAISE: “Timely, passionate, and factual. Such a work cannot be ignored.” — David Cook, PhD, Rice University; Author of Understanding Jihad and Martyrdom in Islam \"As a scholar who has spent decades working in the same Islamic primary sources that Dr. Ibrahim draws upon, I can attest that his handling of the material is responsible, accurate, and well-grounded. This book does not rely on secondhand characterizations or fringe interpretations—it engages classical Islamic jurisprudence on its own terms and lets the sources speak for themselves. The result is a work that serious scholars and general readers alike can trust.\" — Gordon Nickel, PhD, Author, Narratives of Tampering in the Earliest Commentaries on the Qurʾan (Brill 2011), and The Quran with Christian Commentary “I left Egypt decades ago, but Egypt never left me—and neither did the knowledge of what Islamic law produces when it governs a society. A. S. Ibrahim and I share that knowledge, born of the same experience and deepened by decades of study. He has now written what needed to be written: a clear, courageous, and thoroughly documented account of why sharia and the American Constitution cannot share the same ground. Every pastor, every lawmaker, and every American who cherishes the freedoms we sometimes take for granted should read this book and press it into the hands of others.” Read more\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Publisher The Constitution was written to protect a free people. Sharia was written to govern one that is not free. A. S. Ibrahim spent his childhood in Egypt watching what Islamic law produces when it governs—and his adult career documenting what the classical sources actually say. In Sharia Versus the U.S. Constitution, he does what no one else has done: moves through the American constitutional order amendment by amendment, showing precisely where its guarantees collide with the requirements of Islamic law. The argument rests on primary sources. The conclusion is inescapable. About the Author A.S. Ibrahim grew up in Egypt as a Coptic Christian, living under a legal and cultural framework shaped by Islamic law. He watched firsthand what that framework produces when it governs—and came to America understanding, from the inside, what most Americans have never had reason to learn. Ibrahim holds two earned doctorates in Islamic studies—from Fuller Theological Seminary and the University of Haifa—and is the Bill and Connie Jenkins Professor of Islamic Studies at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the author of more than fifteen books, including Muhammad's Military Expeditions and Conversion to Islam (Oxford University Press) and A Concise Guide to the Quran (Baker Academic). Sharia Versus the U.S. Constitution is his most urgent book—and his most accessible. The work of a scholar who knows the sources, a witness who knows the reality, and an American who loves what this country was built to protect. What Readers Are Saying “Timely, passionate, and factual. A.S. Ibrahim's Sharia Versus the U.S. Constitution is a must-read. From an Egyptian Christian who is at the same time an American patriot and a first-class scholar, such a work cannot be ignored.” —DAVID B. COOK, PhD, Professor of Religion (Islamic Studies), Rice University; Author of Understanding Jihad “I left Egypt decades ago, but Egypt never left me—and neither did the knowledge of what Islamic law produces when it governs a society. A. S. Ibrahim and I share that knowledge, born of the same experience and deepened by decades of study.

Every pastor, every lawmaker, and every American who cherishes the freedoms we sometimes take for granted should read this book and press it into the hands of others.” —MICHAEL YOUSSEF, PhD, Founder, Leading The Way Ministries; Author of Unholy Alliance “The question of whether classical Islamic law is compatible with the American constitutional order is one of the most consequential questions of our time—and it has been answered with far too much silence and far too little scholarship. Dr. A.S. Ibrahim is the scholar this moment has needed: a man trained in the primary Arabic sources of Islamic law, formed by firsthand experience of what that law produces when it governs, and committed to telling the truth about what he has found. I commend him and his work without reservation to every American who takes seriously both the gift of constitutional freedom and the obligation to defend it.” — JIM GARLOW, PhD, Pastor, Author, and Founder, Well Versed “Distinguished scholar of Islam and Christian-Muslim relations, Dr. A. S. Ibrahim, has produced an essential resource for understanding the growing pressure to accommodate the Islamic sharia in the West. He makes a compelling case for Americans to choose freedom over sharia. The alternative is stark: a nation to sleepwalk into sharia means surrendering to tyranny and societal failure.” — MARK DURIE, PhD, Professor (Islamic Studies), Melbourne School of Theology; Author of The Third Choice “A sobering but vital read. With love for America and for our Muslim neighbors, Dr. Ibrahim chronicles why the heart of sharia law stands in direct contradiction to the Constitution. To make his case, he does not appeal to fringe examples, but the Quran, hadith, and the tradition of Islamic scholarship and law as well as how sharia is being understood and practiced in the world today. He describes the stated strategy of how Islamists are now trying to implement it in the U.S. This is not merely an academic exercise for Dr. Ibrahim—he grew up in Egypt where he experienced it firsthand, and thus has deep concern for the future of America. This book needs to be widely read and discussed.” — SEAN MCDOWELL, PhD, Professor (Apologetics), Talbot School of Theology; Author of The Fate of the Apostles Why This Book, Why Now Sharia Versus the U.S. Constitution is the first major outside title published by Think And Tell, LLC.
