Description
Dictated before his death in 1988 this long-awaited last work of Fazhlur Rahman is characteristically thoughtful, intelligent and provocative. In a cogent and inspired argument, Rahman confronts today?s perception of Islamic fundamentalism. Drawing from medieval sources and such great thinkers as al-Glazali and Ibn Taymiyya, he reasserts Islam as a dynamic faith whose fundamentalist origins lie not in the unchanging face of tradition, but in reinterpretation, innovation and reform. Citing early sects, Islamic law, Sufism and political developments, Rahman reclassifies twentieth-century Islam as ?neofundamentalist?, and holds out change and renewal as the path back to the true spirit of the faith. Meticulous editing and a cohesive introduction from Ebrahim Moosa have brought this much-anticipated text to life. There is no doubt that scholars, students and admirers of Rahman will find this stimulating work a great tribute to a truly legendary thinker.
