N2  - The author of this work has long been known as a reformist or moderate Islamist thinker. In this text 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 Sharia, justice and human welfare are not exclusive to Islamic governance, and the objectives of Islamic law can be advanced in multiple ways. The volume examines the Western concept of freedom and the Islamic perspective on freedom and human rights, basic democratic principles, the basic principles of an Islamic political system, the concept of tyranny across three different schools of thought, and concludes with an examination of the solutions in Islamic thought that can curb state tyranny, for the benefit of freedom, justice, and the human rights of citizens
