The Reconstruction of Legal Throught in Islam: A Comparative Study of the Islamic and the Western Systems of Law in the Latter’s Terminology, with Particular Reference to the Islamic Laws Suspended by the British Rule in the Sub-continent/ Syed Riazul Hassan Gilani - 2000 - Delhi Markazi Maktaba Islami c 1982 - 440 p

includes bibliographical references and index.

The book tries to reconstruct how Islamic legal thought (fiqh / jurisprudence) could be understood, re-evaluated and possibly reformed in light of comparison with Western legal systems, especially where colonial rule (i.e. British rule in South Asia) had intervened and “suspended” or modified Islamic laws. The author wants to provide terminology, structure, conceptual clarity so that Islamic law can respond to modern challenges, rather than being frozen in historical forms.
