Revival and Reform in Islam - by Fazlur Rahman & Ebrahim Moosa (Paperback)

About the Book

This authoritative book argues that what is considered today to be Islamic fundamentalism is inconsistent with the true meaning of this faith. Rahman demonstrates that the true roots of Islamic teachings advocate adaptability, creativity, and innovation.
