Islam and Postmodernism

Iqbal as a Turning Point

ByAmjad Hussein

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Islam and Postmodernism: Iqbal as a Turning Point: This book is a critique of contemporary Muslim responses, especially Ziauddin Sardar, Akbar S. Ahmed, and Tariq Ramadan, to the relative proximity between Islam and Postmodernism. This book highlights how such scholars have misread the philosophical camaraderies between Islam and Postmodernism. On the one hand, the book deconstructs their respective responses to the issue of Islam and Postmodernism while at the same time makes a case for reading Allama Muhammad Iqbal as an important turning point within the Muslim scholarship that addresses the challenge of Postmodernism. The book also forwards an outline of the kind of political thought that both Iqbal’s Sufi epistemology an Postmodernism make available. As such, Islam and Postmodernism: Iqbal as a Turning Point is a damning critique of the current trajectory of Muslim scholarship and the various scholars who have “put their laptops at the service of a predatory empire.”
