Description
The religion of Islam is of vital concern to everyone in the contemporary world. Understanding what Muslims think about the modern world and how they react to its challenges is an important task for all who wish to locate Islam in contemporary life. Andrew Rippin focuses on how Muslims perceive the contemporary period and explores how they understand the Qur'an and the figure of Muhammad as relevant to life today. Professor Rippin explains how, in Muslim life today, a revealed, inherited world view is in tension with and changing alongside an emerging, newly discovered world view. He explores how these two world views are to be reconciled and analyzes the various recommendations of selected Muslim thinkers. He looks at modern Muslim views on religious authority, including feminism's "new" Islam, and shows how these views affect the actual lived practice of Islam.

Description
The religion of Islam is of vital concern to the modern world. In Muslims Volume 2: The Contemporary Period Andrew Rippin examines Muslims' perception of and reaction to the challenges and changes occurring in contemporary life and questions their ability to relate the Qur'an and the figure of Muhammed to 19th and 20th century culture.
The inherited world view of Islam is compared with the emerging newly-discovered world view of the late 20th century and is explored in two ways, firstly by examining modern Muslim views on religious authority and by considering their effect on the actual lived practice of Islam.
Essential reading for all scholars and lecturers of Islam and comparative religion.
