"The book surveys `Islamic Thought and Movement in the Subcontinent' in the
modern times, emphasising on the thoughts and activities of two leading
Islamic thinkers of the twentieth century, Mawlana Mawdudi and Mawlana
Nadwi. It discusses the sources of evolution of Islamic thought and the
early reformative endeavours. It reveals that their responses to the modern
challenges contributed to the revitalisation of Islamic thought in their
own perspectives. In the context of revival and reform of Islam, they found
their interpretation of Islam as essential for an appreciation of the
religion's dynamism and diversity. The book discusses their holistic
approach towards Islam as a comprehensive guide for private as well as
public life. It explains how they viewed the plight of the Muslim community
as something that had to be addressed by sharpening the Muslims'
consciousness of the dynamic characteristics of their faith and its ability
to halt the temporary state of decline. For the purpose, Mawdudi focused on
the systematic presentation of Islam. It examines his formation of
Jamaat-I-Islami and its role in rebuilding the Islamic State of Pakistan.
It explains Mawlana Nadwi's tradition and Sufistic approach to religion,
showcasing his views and response relating to the Muslim Personal Law
Board, Babri Masjid demolition, the Palestine issue and the West. The book
will interest Islamic scholars and all those interested in evolution of
Islamic philosophy in modern times."
