Abstract :First paragraph: The turn of the 20th century witnessed several attempts by Mus-lim scholars to renew Islamic theology in the face of ideological challenges posed by the West. Contributing to a new kalām, prominent scholars like Shiblī Nuʿmānī insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(d. 1914); in the Indian Subcontinent, Muḥammad ʿAbduh insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(d. 1905); in Egypt and İzmirli İsmail Hakkı insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(d. 1946); in Ottoman Turkey believed that the theological heritage of Islam would no longer suffice for demands of a Muslim mind living in the modern world. Bearing such a significant title, contemporary Moroccan scholar Ṭāhā ʿAbd al-Raḥmān’s important book offers re-markable observations on the meaning of Islamic theology today. Moreover, he questions the misinterpretations of Islamic philosophy by several modern writers whose works remain quite popular in the field.
