Summary/Abstract: The Pakistani-American thinker and scholar Fazlur Rahman (1919-1988) was one the most daring and original contributors to the discourse regarding the reform of the Islamic thought in the twentieth century. As the Qur’an has a central place in any such discourse, innovative approaches to its interpretation are a part of any reform agenda. Considering the significance of the ethico-legal content of the Qur’an in the debate on renewal and reform, Rahman’s work in this area is the focus of this article. Specific aspects of his approach will be listed on the bases six key elements: Revelation and its socio-historical context; ideal/contingent; social justice; careful use of the Hadith and the linking past to the present.
