      ab: The article centers on critical responses to Sherman A. Jackson’s book *The Islamic Secular*, which explores the concept of sharī'ah (Islamic law) as a bounded metric of assessment distinct from the broader Islamic lifeworld and introduces the notion of an "Islamic Secular" that engages non-shar'ī (non-legal) metrics within Islam without rejecting religion. Commentators debate Jackson’s separation of sharī'ah from fiqh (jurisprudence), the scope of sharī'ah’s authority, and the relationship between sharī'ah, Islam, and secularism. Discussions also address the historical and cultural contingencies of the Western secular, the challenges of applying Western secular categories to Islam, and the possibilities for non-Western articulations of secularity grounded in Islamic tradition. The critiques engage with issues of religious freedom, authority, and identity in pluralistic societies, highlighting tensions between universalizing Western frameworks and indigenous Islamic legal and ethical reasoning.
