A fascinating journey into Islam''s diverse history of ideas, making an argument for an ‘Islamic Enlightenment’ today.
In Reopening Muslim Minds, Mustafa Akyol frankly diagnoses ‘the crisis of Islam’ in the modern world, and offers a way forward. Diving deeply into Islamic theology, and sharing lessons from his own life story, he reveals how Muslims lost the universalism that made them a great civilization in their earlier centuries – and what the cost has been. He highlights how values often associated with Western Enlightenment – freedom, reason, tolerance, and an appreciation of science – had Islamic counterparts, which tragically were cast aside in favour of more dogmatic views, often for political reasons.
Elucidating complex ideas with engaging prose and storytelling, Reopening Muslim Minds borrows lost visions from medieval Muslim thinkers to offer a new Muslim worldview on a range of burning issues: human rights, equality for women, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. By rereading the Qur’an, revisiting the Sharia, and ‘dismantling the theological roadblock’ that disallows such questioning, Akyol shows the path to a renewal in Islam.
