Explores the interaction between pre-Islamic tradition and modern supporters of continuity, reform and change in Muslim communities Published as Dalil al-Muslim al-¿azin ila muqtada-l-suluk fi'l-qarn al-¿ishrin in 1983, this book remains a timely and important read today. Both the resurgence of Islamist politics and the political, social and intellectual upheaval which accompanied the Arab Spring challenge us to re-examine the interaction between the pre-modern Islamic tradition and modern supporters of continuity, reform and change in Muslim communities. This book does exactly that, raising questions regarding issues about which other Muslim intellectuals and thinkers have been silent. These include - among others - current religious practice vs the Islamic ideal; the many additions to the original revelation; the veracity of the Prophet's biography and his sayings; the development of Sufism; and historical and ideological influences on Islamic thought. Key Features - Makes available in English an important contribution to modern Muslim thought from a prominent Egyptian thinker - Looks at how current religious practice conforms (or not) to the Islamic ideal when Islam was first revealed - Explores the relationship between core, inner religious values and ritualistic practices - Engages critically with the sources by using historical, literal and logical criticism Hussein Ahmad Amin was born in Cairo in 1932 and died in 2014. While Deputy Director of the Diplomatic Institute in Cairo he produced several major works on Islam, all of which were critical of Islamist movements.
