Islamic Reform and Conservatism

Al-Azhar and the Evolution of Modern Sunni Islam

Buch

The reform debates at al-Azhar Madrasa in nineteenth-century Cairo - one of the most influential centres of religious study in Sunni Islam - were enormously influential for twentieth-century Islamic thought. This book argues that narratives of these debates overemphasize the roles of modernists like Muhammad 'Abduh, obscuring important themes.
