Maulana Wahiduddin Khan examines how Islam came to be read through a political frame in the modern period, and what he holds that reading has cost.
Across the book he argues that the tradition's centre lies in personal faith, moral reform and peaceful coexistence rather than in political contest, and he supports that position with reference to the Quran and Hadith. The discussion is presented as one scholar's reading, set against widely held contemporary views, and it is written in the plain expository style Khan used throughout his work. Those encountering these debates for the first time will find the terms explained as they arise.
Key things to expect:
• A scholarly argument about faith, reform and political ideology
• References drawn from the Quran and Hadith throughout
• Written in accessible expository prose rather than technical theology
• Published by Goodword for students and general readers
Of interest to students of Islamic studies, religion and politics, and to readers following modern Muslim thought, available from Boipoka.
