Beskrivning
For over a millennium, Muslim civilizations have had a profound impact on world history. Yet the global community of faith is now stifled by political instability, economic underdevelopment, everyday corruption, and rampant poverty. Can the troubling state of Muslim civilizations be changed? Who can bring about constructive reforms within the two billion-strong ummah? What necessary steps are needed to uplift Muslims from their predicaments?In this book, Khairudin Aljunied explores the ideas of the renowned Muslim polymath, Ibn Khaldun, to shed new light on the challenges faced by Muslims today. Packed with compelling case studies and examples from around the world, this is a sobering critique of the forces causing decline in Muslim communities. Aljunied offers a fresh reading of the universal concepts found in the Muqaddimah, demonstrating how an age-old classic can provide penetrating insights into resolving civilizational problems. A work of intellectual history, autoethnography, and scholarly commentary on Islam in an era of global uncertainty, this is an essential text for scholars, policymakers, and activists seeking to understand and transform the trajectories of Muslim civilizations.

"Writing with the urgency of a scholar-activist and the sensitivities of a poet, Aljunied employs the universal concepts of Ibn Khaldun to shed light on current civilizational issues. Authentic, authoritative, and anguished, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand Islam today."Akbar Ahmed, former Pakistan Ambassador to the UK and Ireland"Aljunied seamlessly blends insights from the past with a hopeful vision for the future. Here is a manifesto for change, utilizing Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddima as a tool for rethinking contemporary issues—an essential book for all global citizens."Bruce B. Lawrence, Duke University"Set against a backdrop of global fragmentation, rising authoritarianism, and deepening moral crises in Muslim civilizations, this work serves as both an elegy for lost vitality and a blueprint for revival."Zaid Ahmad, International Islamic University of Malaysia"This is a deeply reflective, unflinchingly honest, and rigorously introspective book that should be read, savored, and studied by anyone interested in the plight of modern Muslims and their future."Khaled Abou El Fadl, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)
