The Religious Thought in Islam

The Quran emphasizes deed rather than idea. There are men who assimilate on alien universe by reliving a vital process, of inner experience on which religious faith rests. The modern man has developed habits of concrete thoughts which Islam itself fostered in the earlier stages of its cultural career. The more genuine schools of sufism have done good work in shaping and directing the evolution of religious experiences in Islam but on the later day representatives, owing to the ignorance of the modern mind, have become incapable of recieving fresh inspiration from modern thought and experience. In these lectures the Author had tried to meet the urgent need to reconstruct Muslim religious philosophy with regards to philosophical traditions of Islam and recent developments in the domains of human knowledge.
