Notably, it places the discussion of these topics within a longer historical framework in order to reveal their multiple interpretations and contested applications over time. Most public and some academic discourses however present the Islamic tradition as unchanging and therefore unable to respond to the modern world. Such an ahistorical approach fosters the belief that Muslim and Western societies are destined to clash with one another. In contrast, this book allows the reader to see the diversity and transformations within Islamic thought over time. Focusing on this internal diversity permits us to appreciate the scriptural and intellectual resources available within the Islamic tradition for responding to the challenges of modernity, even as it interrogates and shapes modernity itself. 606 $aIslam$y21st century 606 $aIslam and politics 606 $aMiddle East$2HILCC 606 $aRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle East$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 615 0$aIslam 615 0$aIslam and politics 615 7$aMiddle East 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle East 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 676 $a939.4-956 700 $aAfsaruddin$b Asma$0696649 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820172703321 996 $aContemporary issues in Islam$93947911 997 $aUNINA
