"Through the study of the historical
origins of major Islamic reform
movements, it draws attention to the
religious diversity within different
Muslim communities, and sheds fresh
light on contemporary issues such as the
nature of religious authority and
representation. It also considers
British Muslim civic engagement and
cultural life, particularly the work of
journalists, artists, sports
personalities, and business
entrepreneurs."

dimensions of Islam - practice, faith, spirituality and the Islamic view of
history, as outlined in the Hadith of Gabriel."

"In this wide-ranging and masterful work, Ahmad Dallal examines the significance
of scientific knowledge and situates the culture of science in relation to other
cultural forces in Muslim societies. He traces the ways in which the realms of
scientific knowledge and religious authority were delineated historically. The
realization of a discrepancy between tradition and science often led to
demolition and rebuilding and, most important, to questioning whether scientific
knowledge should take precedence over religious authority in a matter where
their realms clearly overlap."
