11. Again, Gellner gives one of its best formulations at the opening of one of his most important works, Muslim Society (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981), 1: "Islam is the blueprint of a social order. It holds that a set of rules exists, eternal, divinely ordained, and independent of the will of men, which defines the proper ordering of society. . . . In traditional Islam, no distinction is made between lawyer and common lawyer, and the roles of theologian and lawyer are conflated. Expertise on proper social arrangements, and on matters pertaining to God, are one and the same thing."
