Description

Reopening Muslim Minds: A Return to Reason, Freedom, and Tolerance by Mustafa Akyol A thought-provoking exploration of Islam's complex history of ideas, Reopening Muslim Minds offers a compelling argument for an 'Islamic Enlightenment' today. The author diagnoses the modern world's 'crisis of Islam', tracing its roots in the loss of universalism that defined Islamic civilization in earlier centuries. Mustafa Akyol delves into Islamic theology and shares his own life story to reveal how Muslims lost these core values, such as freedom, reason, and tolerance, in favour of more dogmatic views. He draws on medieval Muslim thinkers' lost visions to propose a new Muslim worldview on pressing issues like human rights, equality for women, and freedom of speech. By re-examining the Qur'an and revisiting the Sharia, Akyol presents a path towards renewal in Islam, one that dismantles theological barriers to critical thinking and open inquiry.
