The Reconstruction Of Religious Thought In Islam By Allama Muhammad Iqbal
A late but central work of the Islamic Nahda at its climax, comparable to Abdhuh or Rida's. The most fascinating probably is the way Iqbal merges a scientific approach and an indisputable spirituality through a clever exposition of metaphysics as a unifying ground. Sincerely, this book presents what I deem is the best source of optimism for whoever questions the ability of "cultures" or "civilizations" to understand each other; arguably westerners may think that Iqbal like Abduh is too much obsessed with the idea of giving evidence of the superiority of the Islamic Spirit over Christianity, but overall it is a rare pleasure to jump from Whitehead to Al-Beruni, from Bergson to Ibn-Khaldun, etc. Iqbal's mind is sharp and even faithless people like me will find "The reconstruction of religious thought in Islam" inspiring as it brings a balanced understand of the wholeness in life. For those who are familiar with his poetry (especially "The Secrets of the Self"), they may regret the briliance of it; but the meaning is also far more accessible for it was originally a set of courses given in Hyderabad during the pre independence era. --By Larrauri Clément on April 3, 2013
A book on the Islamic thought process that is banned in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the so called custodians of Islam tells a lot what this book has to offer! Not an easy read but highly recommended! --By Saladin on June 27, 2013
Sir Mohammad Iqbal is one of the greatest poet, philosopher and theologists (yet secular) of all times. He understood Qur'an and Islam probably like no one else did. His poetry and his books reflect that. It's said that his poetry is an excellent translation of Qur'an, and I couldn't agree more. He was a barrister at law from GB and was given the title of 'Sir'. He however returned to India and gave the concept of Pakistan, a separate country from Muslims, to Mohammad Ali Jinnah. --By Noah A. Lefevre on August 29, 2014
