At the turn of the twenty-first century, scholarship and policy
debate on Islam and Muslim societies has come to focus primarily on
Islam's ability to make young Muslims gravitate towards
anti-modernity movements. Many attribute Islamic militancy, as well
as the general socio-economic and political stagnation experienced
in some Muslim societies, to Islamic theological or legal dictates.
Yet Islamic scholarly tradition is highly pluralistic, and today's
leading Islamic authority structures are developing competing
conceptual and methodological approaches which vary greatly in
their ability to engage with societal change. This volume focuses
on the four most influential Islamic authority structures with a
visible following among Muslims around the globe. It makes a major
contribution to refining our understanding of the plurality of
Islamic tradition in contemporary times, helping to counter the
dominant narrative of an inevitable clash of civilisations. It
presents evidence of great creative energy within many Islamic
scholarly platforms (old as well as new); an energy which aims to
provide dynamic answers to modern day challenges from within the
Islamic legal and theological tradition.
