Justice rather than the jihad or "holy war" of the Western imagination defines the Islam of the Qur'an and explains the global appeal of Islam's quest for the righteous community. For centuries, Abu Dharr al Ghifari, the seventh-century companion of the Prophet Muhammad, has provided a human face for Islamic justice as the core value of the faith. In this study of justice in Islam, Raymond Baker focuses on the influence of Abu Dharr, and the workof major intellectuals who have contributed to the Islamic Awakening.
