Among traditionally educated scholars in the Islamic world there is
much disagreement on the crises that afflict modern Muslim
societies and how best to deal with them, and the debates have
grown more urgent since 9/11. Through an analysis of the work of
Muhammad Rashid Rida and Yusuf al-Qaradawi in the Arab Middle East
and a number of scholars belonging to the Deobandi orientation in
colonial and contemporary South Asia, this book examines some of
the most important issues facing the Muslim world since the late
nineteenth century. These include the challenges to the binding
claims of a long-established scholarly consensus, evolving
conceptions of the common good, and discourses on religious
education, the legal rights of women, social and economic justice
and violence and terrorism. This wide-ranging study by a leading
scholar provides the depth and the comparative perspective
necessary for an understanding of the ferment that characterizes
contemporary Islam.
