Description

The topic of Islamic resurgence has gained significance due to geopolitical developments over the last century in the Muslim world. Various interpretations of tajdid (revival) by ulama and Islamists have profoundly shaped the discourse on Islamic resurgence.

This book examines the interaction between Islamic resurgent movements and their role in shaping an Islamic order, focusing on Maulana Sayyid Abul Hasan ‘Ali Nadwi (1913–1999), along with other scholars and reformists. It explores his contributions to Islamic resurgence, comparing his views with those of Sayyid Abul A’la Maududi of Pakistan and Sayyid Qutb of Egypt.

The volume delves into the historical background of Islamic reformist thought, the influence of key figures and institutions, and the common themes in the writings of Maulana Nadwi and his contemporaries—especially the concepts of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance) and Hakimiyyah (divine sovereignty). The book is highly relevant in the contemporary context of globalization and Islamic revival, making it an essential read for scholars, students, and general readers interested in Islamic studies.
