On Thursday Ausgust 6th, participants of the Law and Leadership Summer program 2015 gained valuable insight into the nature of Islamic constitutionalism. Dr. al-Hibri examined the relationship between the U.S. Constitution and the Qur\u2019an and worked with students to dismantle misconceptions about the principles of Islamic constitutionalism. Dr. al-Hibri discussed the similarities between the U.S. Constitution and the Qur\u2019an saying, \u201cthe early Muslims chose the Qur\u2019an just as the founding fathers chose the Constitution.\u201d She then walked through the history of the Prophet PBUH upon his arrival in Madina, using the story as confirmation of the democratic nature of the first Islamic State. Dr. al-Hibri described how the people of Madina accepted the Qur\u2019an as their constitutional document, the Prophet as their head of state, and the Sahabah as the Prophet\u2019s consultants. She then discussed the message of religious acceptance that was given by the Qur\u2019an, saying about the perpetrators of modern-day conflicts: \u201cwhere they are getting [false ideas] from I don\u2019t know, but this is diametrically opposed to what Islam stands for.\u201d Dr. al-Hibri ended her class by encouraging students to devote time to studying Islam further, and to devote even more time to fighting misperceptions and false claims about Islam back home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
