Southeast Asia is home to one of the largest Muslim populations in
the world today. The region has also produced a cohort of reformers
who have critiqued the limits of Islamic thought and propounded new
lines of thinking with an eye toward constructing a better ummah.
Shapers of Islam in Southeast Asia captures the progressive and
pluralistic nature of Islamic reform in Southeast Asia from the
mid-twentieth century onward, a period that can now be regarded as
the age of networked Islam. Offering a fresh conceptualization, the
book shows how several influential Muslim intellectuals have given
rise to an "Islamic reformist mosaic" in Southeast Asia.
Representing different strands of reformist thinking, these shapers
of Islam have constructed a unified and coherent frame of thought
that distinguishes itself from the ultra-traditionalist and
ultra-secularist leanings. This fascinating study is indispensable
to anyone interested in understanding the challenges facing Islam
and other religions in the modern world.
