The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam

The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam by Allama Muhammad Iqbal is a groundbreaking work in Islamic philosophy. In this collection of essays, Iqbal critiques traditional interpretations of Islam and advocates for a more dynamic, intellectual engagement with the faith. He emphasizes the importance of self-empowerment, creativity, and individual spiritual growth, arguing that Muslims must embrace modernity without abandoning their religious roots. Iqbal’s vision of Islam challenges both colonial influence and rigid orthodoxy, offering a path toward a more vibrant, forward-thinking Muslim identity. This work is a key text for understanding Iqbal’s philosophy and vision for the future of Islam.
