Khan's approach borrows much from reason, but, for Khan, reason and revelation are not in conflict. Reason guides the interpretation of Islam when revelation is insufficient. In contrast, Mawlana Mawdudi's fundamentalism is, at least in part, anti-rational; it depends upon revelation (as it comes to one man in particular) and is very autocratic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e McDonough is concerned with Khan and Mawdudi, both writers within the Indo-Pakistan Muslim tradition. Their conflicting views, their differing interpretations of ethics that suit Islam in the contemporary world, exemplify the difficulties and turmoil faced by Muslims the world over. For these men, modernity has not spelled the end of Islam; yet each has found a different way of relating Islam to the present and the future in faithfulness to traditional Islam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students of contemporary Islam, as well as to those interested in questions of comparative ethics, for the liberal\/fundamentalist conflicts outlined in this book are analogous to manifestations of the same dichotomy in all world religions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSheila McDonough\u003c\/b\u003e taught in Pakistan for three years at the Kinnaird Institute for Women and currently teaches Islam and Comparative Religion in the Department of Religion of Concordia University, Montreal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 25, 1985\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42613384052832,"sku":"9780889201620","price":56.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/cGFhV0FNMFFPK3FOc0NveExBNU1Rdz09.webp?v=1772121336","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/muslim-ethics-and-modernity-a-comparative-study-of-the-ethical-thought-of-sayyid-ahmad-khan-and-mawlana-mawdudi-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
