About this title

Synopsis

A man is running. A rider is closing behind him on horseback, sword raised. At the last moment, the man cries out the testimony of faith — there is no god but God. The rider hears it. The rider kills him anyway.

When the Prophet of God learned what his beloved companion Usama ibn Zayd had done, he asked one question, and he repeated it until Usama wished he had not lived to hear it:

Did you split open his heart to see?

Who Made You the Judge? is a ruthless theological prosecution of the most ancient bad habit in religious life — the urge to declare other people outside the faith. Drawing on the foundational hadiths of the tradition, the buried jurisprudence of classical Islam, and the bloody comparative record of every religion that has ever organised itself around revealed truth, Kai Sublime turns the question the Prophet asked Usama back onto every keyboard inquisitor, every institutional gatekeeper, every accuser who has ever claimed the authority to read another person's heart.

This is not a book that asks to be accepted. It is a book that asks by what right you ever appointed yourself the judge.

From the Hadith of Gabriel to the forgotten Murji'a school, from Ghazali's Decisive Criterion to the careful jurisprudence of Ibn Taymiyya, from Hallaj on the gallows to Servetus at the stake, from Spinoza under the cherem to Kabir between the brahmin and the mullah — Sublime assembles the most uncomfortable evidence the world's religions have produced: the boundary-keepers are almost always wrong, and the figures they expel are almost always the ones the tradition later canonises.

The author has been declared outside the faith by men who have not read his books. He has written this one for them. The case is on the page. The challenge is open. The question stands.

Did you split open his heart?
