Modern Debates on Prophecy and Prophethood in Islam : Muhammad Iqbal and Said Nursi Hardback
by Mahsheed Ansari
Part of the Routledge Studies in Religion series
Hardback
Description
While prophethood is the backbone of the Islamic tradition and an uncompromised tenet of faith, the impact of modernity with its ambivalent status afforded to the prophet and institution of prophethood shook many Muslim scholars.
Through analysis of these modern debates on prophethood in Islam, this book situates Muhammad Iqbal’s (1877–1938) and Said Nursi’s (1877–1960) discourses within it and assesses their implications on the modern period.
This book introduces the "what, who and how" of the prophets in the Islamic tradition.
It unveils the rich Islamic literature of both the classical and modern periods and analyses the construction of their philosophies and theologies.
Concise in both historical and textual analyses, this book makes an important contribution to our understanding of contemporary debates on prophecy and prophethood in Islam and will be of great interest to postgraduate students and researchers of Islam, religious studies, medieval studies and contemporary studies of Islam and religion.
