Published as Dalīl al-Muslim al-ḥazīn ilā muqtada-l-sulūk fī’l-qarn al-ʿishrīn in 1983, this book remains a timely and important read today. Both the resurgence of Islamist politics and the political, social and intellectual upheaval which accompanied the Arab Spring challenge us to re-examine the interaction between the pre-modern Islamic tradition and modern supporters of continuity, reform and change in Muslim communities. This book does exactly that, raising questions regarding issues about which other Muslim intellectuals and thinkers have been silent. These include – among others – current religious practice vs the Islamic ideal; the many additions to the original revelation; the veracity of the Prophet’s biography and his sayings; the development of Sufism; and historical and ideological influences on Islamic thought.

No history of modern Islamic thought, especially rationalist thought, can disregard this work----that has to do with its purely scholarly importance to the historian of ideas. But its charm, its gentle persuasiveness, its succinct description of what the author identifies as the shortcomings of modern Muslim thought makes this work of major importance to any reader, specialist or general, interested in modern Islam.
