Stewardship and Sacred History – Dr Ramon Harvey
Dr Ramon Harvey discusses the Qur’anic vision for the legitimate delegation of political sovereignty with the idea of stewardship (khilafa), and how this relates to the scripture’s conception of justice, as expressed through natural and divine Law. Examining the narratives of previous nations, and especially prophets, gives us valuable lessons to navigate the ever-recurrent cycles of social corruption.
This lecture was delivered on 20 January 2024, along with two others, as part of our Tea Over Books event: “Sovereignty & the Divine”.
