I first look at the influence on an-Na'im of his mentor Mahmoud Mohamed Taha and his idea of reverse abrogation, which gives priority to the Meccan paradigm over the Medinan. I then refer to an-Na'im's books "Towards an Islamic Reformation" and "Islam and the Secular State". I then turn to some comments on an-Na'im's thinking, starting with some reflections from a general perspective before turning to some questions that arise for Christians engaging with his work.

A basic contrast emerges between how some Muslims, past and present, have expressed this division sharply and aggressively, while others have resisted that tendency, softening the believer-unbeliever division and expressing a more inclusive version of Islam. The essay concludes with some reflections on lines of connection between the Qur’an and these various Muslim approaches.
