The Western world often fears many aspects of Islam, without the
knowledge to move forward. On the other hand, there are sustained
and complex debates within Islam about how to live in the modern
world with faith. Alison Scott-Baumann and Sariya
Contractor-Cheruvallil here propose solutions to both dilemmas,
with a particular emphasis on the role of women. Challenging
existing beliefs about Islam in Britain, this book offers a
paradigm shift based on research conducted over 15 years. The
educational needs within several groups of British Muslims were
explored, resulting in the need to offer critical analysis of the
provision for the study of classical Islamic Theology in Britain.
Islamic Education in Britain responds to the dissatisfaction among
many young Muslim men and women with the theological/secular split,
and their desire for courses that provide combinations of these two
strands of their lived experience as Muslim British citizens.
Grounded in empirical research, the authors reach beyond the
meta-narratives of secularization and orientalism to demonstrate
the importance of the teaching and learning of classical Islamic
studies for the promotion of reasoned dialogue, interfaith and
intercultural understanding in pluralist British society.
