520			_aThis book explores how the Islamic concepts of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah (objectives of Islamic law) and maṣlaḥah (public welfare) shape Muslim understandings of justice and activism. Using case studies from Egypt, Algeria, and Turkey (1988–1993), she argues that social justice is not just a political slogan but a core religious and legal principle. Abdelkader shows that Western theories of modernisation or political discontent fail to fully explain Islamic activism, because they overlook these internal religious frameworks. The book concludes that demands for justice in Muslim societies are deeply rooted in Islamic law and tradition, linking jurisprudence with people’s lived expectations.
