This comprehensive survey of contemporary Islam provides a
philosophical and theological approach to the issues faced by
Muslims and the question of global secularisation. Engaging with
critics of modern Islam, Shabbir Akhtar sets out an agenda of what
his religion is and could be as a political entity. Exploring the
views and arguments of philosophical, religious and political
thinkers, the author covers a raft of issues faced by Muslims in an
increasingly secular society. Chapters are devoted to the Qur'an
and Islamic literature; the history of Islam; Sharia law; political
Islam; Islamic ethics; and political Islam's evolving relationship
with the West. Recommending changes which enable Muslims to move
from their imperial past to a modest role in the power structures
of today's society, Akhtar offers a detailed assessment of the
limitations and possibilities of Islam in the modern world.
Providing a vision for an empowered yet rational Islam that
distances itself from both Islamist factions and Western
secularism, this book is an essential read for students and
scholars of Islamic studies, religion, philosophy and politics.
