Islam, the West and the Challenges of Modernity
By Tariq Ramadan
Paperback Pages 325
Published by The Islamic Foundation, Leicester  UK

Islam, the West and the Challenges of Modernity attempts to demonstrate, using sources which draw upon Islamic thought and civilisation, that Muslims have the means to respond to contemporary challenges without betraying their identity. The book argues that Muslims, nourished by their own points of reference, can approach the modern epoch by proposing a specific social, political and economic management that is linked to ethical values, a sense of finalities and spirituality. This still requires, however, that the Western interlocutors make a distinction between modernityand the ideology of modernismwhich tends to impose Westernisation. The latter, in its substance and other than in its well-intentioned discourse, does not admit the reality of the pluralism of civilisations, religions or cultures.

A man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said: "The laws of Islam seem to be a lot for me (to remember), so tell me something that I should stick to." The Prophet replied: "Let your tongue never cease to be moist with the remembrance of Allah ." 
Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 437
