This book could easily be called 'A Guide for the Modern Muslim',
for someone to whom the sentiments of his or her ancestors resonate
but who cannot accept the canonised formulas of a stultified
education. Charfi spells out what, for him, is the essential
message of Islam, followed by a history of its unfolding through
the person of the Prophet Muhammad, who was a visionary seeking to
change the ideals, attitudes and behaviours of the society in which
he lived. The message and its history are delineated as two
separate things, conflated by tradition. Charfi's reflections cross
those horizons where few Muslim scholars have dared until now to
tread. He confronts with great lucidity those difficult questions
with which Muslims are struggling, attempting to reconsider them
from a moral and political perspective that is independent of the
frameworks produced by tradition."
