Emon divides his work into five chapters: Introduction, Hard Natural Law,
The Critique of Hard Natural Law, Soft Natural Law, and Conclusion. Both
his style and his usage of words are fascinating. His understanding of the
premodern works on Islamic jurisprudence (usul al-fiqh) reflects his indepth
research and comprehension of classical works. His rendering of jurisprudential
terms (alfaz usuliyyah) into English language also marks his
great familiarity with Islamic sources. This work is an excellent addition to
the literature on Islamic law.

of source texts, can good and bad (husn and qubh) assume sufficient
normative authority, which will result in Shari‘ah obligation.
Emon affirms that the use of reason in Shari‘ah has been debated extensively
