The Road To Reform: Facing the Challenge of Modernity

  • How should a “Western Islam” differ to its Eastern counterpart, if at all? What is modernisation? Does Islam need it? How have scholars responded to it in the past? Is reform a shocking innovation or is it a vital part of being faithful to Islam’s inner intents? and quite importantly, does it have clear dimensions and strict remits? It is questions like these that we at UBTrust and UCLU Islamic Society aim to tackle in an atmosp…here of faithful academic discussion and debate between two leading figures in Western Islamic thought.
