Description

Islam and Secularism by Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas is a thought-provoking work that explores fundamental problems faced by Muslims in the contemporary world. Written 40 years ago, this book provides real solutions to these challenges, starting with an analysis of Western Christian influences on modern society. The author's original concept of "dewesternization of knowledge" or "islamization of contemporary knowledge" is central to his argument, and he develops this idea through a critical study of the Muslim tradition. The book delves into key concepts such as dīn, 'adl, ḥikmah, adab, ma'nā, and ta'dīb, and their significance in shaping an Islamic system of education. The appendix provides a concrete application of these ideas, with a focus on the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago. This book offers valuable insights for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of Islam and secularism, making it a valuable resource for scholars and readers alike.
