Revival and Reform in Islam: The Legacy of Muhammad al-Shawkani (Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization) Book

Revival and Reform in Early Modern Islam is both an intellectual biography of Muhammad al-Shawkani, one of the founding fathers of modern reformism, and a study of an important transitional period in Yemeni history which saw the shift from traditional Shi'ism to Sunni reformism. This transition propelled political, religious and social change. The book demonstrates that, while Shawkani espoused a socio-religious order which echoed aspects of Western thinking, it was indigenous to Islamic thought. Shawkani's ideas remain central to the intellectual debates taking place in Islam today.Read More
