About the Books

The book surveys Islamic thought and movements in the subcontinent in the modern times, emphasizing on the thoughts and activities of two leading Islamic thinkers of the twentieth century, Mawlana Mawdudi and Mawlana Nadwi.

It discusses the sources of evolution of Islamic thought and the early reformative endeavours. It reveals that their responses to the modern challenges contributed to the revitalisation of Islamic thought in their own perspectives.

In the context of revival and reform of Islam, they found their interpretation of Islam as essential for an appreciation of the religion’s dynamism and diversity.

The book discusses their holistic approach towards Islam as a comprehensive guide for private as well as public life. It explains how they viewed the plight of the Muslim community as something that had to be addressed by sharpening the Muslims’ consciousness of the dynamic characteristics of their faith and its ability to halt the temporary state of decline.

For the purpose, Mawdudi focused on the systematic presentation of Islam.
