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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheila McDonough\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889201625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889201620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Sheila McDonough","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926772646143,"sku":"9780889201620","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d3b75fb4-749e-4c96-8ba1-2a58a7e9c56a.jpg?v=1681084928","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/muslim-ethics-and-modernity-sheila-mcdonough-9780889201620","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
