Youssef M. Choueiri

4.9/5 (22571 ratings)

Description:How did Muslims deal with new concepts and institutions thrown up or developed by modernity, and how are they dealing with them now? Youssef Choueiri's new study explores how this ancient faith dealt with the challenges modernity presented from the turn of the nineteenth century up to the present day, from oppressive manifestations of European colonialism, to nationalism, political independence, secularism and democracy. This study shows how these various political, cultural, social and economic challenges gave rise to a range of responses: some Muslims adopting modernity wholeheartedly; others choosing to be more selective and creating an eclectic approach considered more suited to the needs of non-western societies; yet others taking the opportunity to re-establish Islam itself as an authentic religion capable of meeting the modern world. The book ends by posing the question: has Islam had its reformation movement, and if not, what should be done to bring about such an outcome?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
