يخاطب طارق رمضان، في كتابه هذا المجتمعات الإسلامية في الشرق والغرب على السواء، ويدعوهم إلى إصلاح جذري قائم على التحول، ومتسلّح بالوسائل الروحية والفكرية والعلمية للتعامل مع الواقع، والإبحار في ميادين المعرفة كافة، استعداداً لمواجهة التحديات الاجتماعية والسياسية والفلسفية والأخلاقية.
وفي هذا الصدد، يقترح طارق رمضان ثلاث أطروحات: الأولى، إعادة النظر في طبيعة الإصلاح، والتكيف مع تطور المجتمعات والعلوم والعالم بغية الوصول إلى التغيير الجذري المنشود. الثانية، إعادة النظر في جغرافية أصول الفقه ومصادره وتصنيفاته، والعمل على دمج المعارف الإنسانية والأخلاق التطبيقية، التي يمكن من خلالها تحديد الغايات السامية والأهداف العليا للإسلام. أما الثالثة، فهي العمل على تحقيق الانسجام بين علماء النصوص وعلماء الواقع من خلال الرسم الدقيق للكفاءات والتخصصات والأدوار المنوطة بهم في مختلف المجالات
Tariq Ramadan is the son of Said Ramadan and Wafa Al-Bana, who was the eldest daughter of Hassan al Banna, who in 1928 founded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Gamal al-Banna, the liberal Muslim reformer is his great-uncle. His father was a prominent figure in the Muslim Brotherhood and was exiled by Gamal Abdul Nasser[3] from Egypt to Switzerland, where Tariq was born.
Tariq Ramadan studied Philosophy and French literature at the Masters level and holds a PhD in Arabic and Islamic studies from the University of Geneva. He also wrote a PhD dissertation on Friedrich Nietzsche, entitled Nietzsche as a Historian of Philosophy.[4] Ramadan then studied Islamic jurisprudence at Al-Azhar university in Cairo, Egypt.[5]
He taught at the College de Saussure, a high school in Geneva, Switzerland, and held a lectureship in Religion and Philosophy at the University of Fribourg from 1996 to 2003. In October 2005 he began teaching at St Antony's College at the University of Oxford on a Visiting Fellowship. In 2005 he was a senior research fellow at the Lokahi Foundation.[6][7] In 2007 he successfully applied for the professorship in Islamic studies at the University of Leiden, but then declined to take up the position, citing professional reasons.[8][9] He was also a guest professor of Identity and Citizenship at Erasmus University Rotterdam,[10][11][12] till August 2009 when the City of Rotterdam and Erasmus University dismissed him from his positions as "integration adviser" and professor, stating that the program he chairs on Iran's Press TV, Islam & Life, was "irreconcilable" with his duties in Rotterdam. Ramadan described this move as Islamophobic and politically charged. Beginning September 2009, Ramadan, was appointed to the His Highness Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani Chair in Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University.
Ramadan established the Mouvement des Musulmans Suisses (Movement of Swiss Muslims),which engages in various interfaith seminars. He is an advisor to the EU on religious issues and was sought for advice by the EU on a commission on “Islam and Secularism”.In September 2005 he was invited to join a task force by the government of the United Kingdom.[3] He is also the President of the Euro-Muslim Network,a Brussels-based think-tank.
He is widely interviewed and has produced about 100 tapes which sell tens of thousands of copies each year
As of 2009, Tariq Ramadan was persona non grata in Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia[19] Libya or Syria because of his "criticism of these undemocratic regimes that deny the most basic human rights".
Ramadan is married to a French convert to Islam and they have four children.
من يتابع طارق رمضان، يعرف بأنه كثيراً ما يكرر عبارة "الإصلاح من الداخل" أي من داخل المنظومة الفكرية الإسلامية نفسها، يقول: بأنه من السهل أن تلقي اللوم على العرب والفكر الإسلامي "المُتخلّف" وتدّعي الحداثة وما إلى ذلك وتكتفي بهذا، أما أن تحاول الإصلاح من الداخل؛ فهي العملية الأصعب بلا شك، وهذا ما أراد فعله في هذا الكتاب.
أفكار الكتاب -كما يقول رمضان نفسه- تأملات وملاحظات عامة، حاول فيها استثارة أسئلة مُلحة أكثر منه تقديم إجابات مُفصلة، أو طرح نظري فلسفي جديد. قسّم الكتاب إلى قسمين: نظري وعملي، في القسم الأول قدّم فكرة "الكتاب المسطور والكتاب المنظور" أو القرآن والكون، وهو الشيء الذي يرى المؤلف بأن القرآن الكريم يشير، بل ينصّ عليها، من خلال إبراز الآيات الكونية، ومن خلال هذه الفكرة أراد التمّهيد إلى طرح فكرته الرئيسية: تعاون علماء النص، مع علماء الواقع. وهذه العملية بذاتها تستوجب إعادة تركيب هرمية "العلماء" نفسها، هل العالِم هو الفقيه والذي له معرفة بالنصوص، أم يندرج تحت هذا الاسم المتخصص في الفيزياء وعلم الاجتماع إلخ؟ وقبل كل هذا، تستوجب الفكرة النظر في أصول الفقه، من حيث أنه العلم المتخصص في التعامل مع دلالة النصوص. وقد عرض تطور هذا العلم تاريخياً في الفصول الأولى مركزاً على زاوية محددة في هذا العرض، وهي علاقة النص بالسياق أو الواقع (هدفه الرئيس كما قلت)؛ ولهذا نراه يُعنون نشأة أصول الفقه مع الشافعي بـ" المقاربة الاستدلالية" ومن ثم في أصول الفقه عند الأحناف بـ "المقاربة الاستقرائية" وأخيراً، مدرسة المقاصد مع الشاطبي. ونلاحظ في هذا العرض تلمّح جانب علاقة النص بالواقع، لكنه يقول بأن العلماء مع ذلك لم يولوا الاهتمام المطلوب لهذا العنصر، خصوصاً مع التعقيد المتنامي للواقع في عصرنا الحالي؛ وبهذا، يصل إلى الفصلين الثامن والتاسع (ربما هما زُبدة الكتاب) حيث يقترح فيهما ضم الواقع كمصدر فقهي أساسي وليس كشيء عرضي كما هو الحال حالياً. يرى بأن هذا التعاون بين علماء النصوص وعلماء الواقع (أو السياق) حدث أكثر ما حدث في المجال الطبي، ولكنه مع ذلك لم يكن بالشكل المطلوب، حيث ينسى علماء النصوص -إلا نادراً- أن للمجال الطبي نفسه خلفيات اقتصادية واجتماعية تأثّر عليه، مما يؤكد فكرته بأن التعاون يجب أن يحدث بشكل أشمل وأوسع.
إن الإصلاح الجذري الذي يدعو إليه رمضان يوّجه العناية إلى جوهر المسائل وليس إلى الشكليات فقط، وهذا الإصلاح هو فكر "تحوّلي" وليس تكيفياً، هذا الفقه والفكر التكيفي الذي يمكن أن نراه بأوضح صوره في معالجة الفقهاء للمعاملات المالية؛ فجل ما يُفعل هنا هو إصدار فقه وفكر يحاول اللّحاق بنظام الاقتصاد العالمي، وتغطية هذا النظام بستار دخاني يُسمّى "إسلامي" واستبدال الأدوات لا أكثر ولا أقل. وهذا يقوده إلى الحديث عن فكرة "إسلامي" هذه التي يرفضها تماماً؛ فهو يرفض "الاقتصاد الإسلامي" و "الطب الإسلامي" وما إلى ذلك؛ بسبب ما ذكرت، بالإضافة إلى أن مايجب أن يقدمه الفكر الإسلامي هو "الأخلاق" أو الأخلاقيات بشكل عام، ولا يكتفي بتغير الأدوات فقط، بل في مًسآلة الأسس نفسها، ومحاولة المُساهمة في تحوّل أكثر جذرية. ومن خلال هذه الأفكار الرئيسية التي قدّمها، يُعالج في القسم الثاني بشكل تطبيقي وعملي بعض أهم المسائل المُلحّة: قضايا المرأة، الفنون، التعليم، الاقتصاد، إلخ.
الكاتب يُقدّم أفكاراً تستحق التأمل ولاشك، لكن تظل مشكلتي مع رمضان الكاتب هي نفسها مع رمضان المُحاضر: التحدث بشكل فضفاض وعمومي في العديد من الأمور، بالإضافة إلى التكرار (التكرار)، يُمكن بكل بساطة أن يطرح ما طرحه في نصف صفحات الكتاب وربما أقل. هذان الأمران دفعاني إلى الملل في أوقات كثيرة خلال قراءتي للكتاب. وبما أنني في سياق عرض السلبيات، يجب أن أقول بأن الترجمة بحاجة إلى إعادة صياغة في كثير من المواضع. يبقى كتاباً يستحق القراءة للمهتم.
أنا جربت طريقة في التعامل مع هذا الكتاب .. اللي هي تحديد هدف من القراءة .. وكانَ الإصلاح الجذري كتابًا جذريًا في التعامل مع أهدافي .. الأهداف كانت : - التعرف على طارق رمضان .. وعلى آرائه أكثر - الاستفادة من الخلفية التاريخية لمدارس الفقه الإسلامي التي ذكرها في مقدمة الكتاب - رؤيته وحديثه عن الفن والثقافة
والأهداف أثناء القراءة كانت :
- وجهة نظره في مفهوم العلم والعلماء - فلسفته في مصادر التشريع - الآراء في : قضايا المرأة, الأسرة, البيئة .. - والتحولي والتكيفي فيما ذكره من كتابه؛ والمفهومين عمومًا - ولامس من قلبي ونفسي ما لامس من دعوته عن نبذ المادية .. والاستغلال للناس عمومًا
***
الكتاب يتحدث عن إصلاحٍ جذري في التعامل مع الدين .. كانت الجذرية في تعامله مع مصادر التشريع .. وكليات الشريعة الأساسية : حيث ناقش إضافة الصالح العام إلى مصادر التشريع مع المصادر النصية .. مما يتيح الفرصة لعلماء المجالات الأخرى بإضافة إضافاتٍ واضحة في حياة المسلم .. وبعد أن تتنقل في البراهين المنطقية والقضايا التي تطرأ على هذا التحول الجذري .. يبدأ طارق رمضان في دراسة الحالات .. ما أهمني منها موضوع الفنون والثقافة ..
***
الميزة .. وبعد نقاش ودردشة بسيطة مع الحبيب طارق المبارك .. أن هذه الثورية مفيدة للمسلمين في الأقليات الإسلامية .. إن أردنا تطبيقًا حاليًا للفكرة .. ومفيد للدولة المدنية ككل .. أستطيع أن أقول أن هذه التغيرات الجذرية ستكون نتيجة .. الوعي الذي تحمله الأجيال .. وزيادته والتغيرات ستكون؛ الفرق في هذا الكتاب .. هل ستكون جذرية أم تكييفية .. عامل سرعة الاستجابة والفعل .. أساسي هنا.
Latest, on women: "A lasting loving marriage cannot be achieved through prescriptive religious reminders, fatawa or lists of duties and rights. Yet unfortunately, Islamic discourse on marriage does mainly amount to just that and men very often make use of this fact: quite often indeed, men who never pay attention to any of Islam's spiritual teachings (regarding daily or married life) insist, when crisis comes, on their islamic rights as husbands, relying on a tradition that they know is favorable to them and they can bend to their wishes. Such formalism, which relies on a religious and cultural tradition to justify it's commands, results in a vicious circle that maintains suffering and nurtures hypocricy. Whether in traditional societies or in the west, men remind women of their duties and do not hesitate to draw a list of their wn rights to choose, decide (for the couple), or even engage in polygamy without considering women's rights and the social and religious conditions that absolutely must be respected. Fuqaha' very often remain silent and sometimes even share in such hypocritical male deviations. What must be revised is the whole approach and such teachings about marriage, women and men-scholars, psychologists, social workers- must engage in this together, on the basis of everyday life and in the light of scriptural sources. Couples must be advised and supported by insisting on the right to choose one's spouse based on love which once felt, should be nurtured, maintained and deepened through thoughtfulness, dialogue and the personal fulfillment of each of the partners. We must tackle the sensitive yet essential issue of how difficult it is to be a husband or a wife today..."
Islamic reform is mentioned within the scripture itself. Reform and Ijtihad: The Profit asks his messenger to Yemen what he would do if faced with a legal problem that has no reference in the text, Mu'adh -the messenger- replies: then I shall exert myself to the utmost (Ajtahidu) to formulate my own judgment. This stands in contrast with the literalist method of over exerting the text to extract rules and laws.
Although there has been a trend of Tajdeed (renewal, reform) The author calls it Adaptive Reform, a reform that responds to new issues defensively by rereading the scriptures and coming up with protective solutions to adapt to the invading surrounding. While the Transformational Reform (what the author is proposing) is a reform that works in a different way; reading the world and applying the core ethic in order to transform it. Rather than trying to protect the top branches, transformational reform heals the the tree. This cannot be done without knowledge of the human context not mere knowledge of the text and language. As an example, Tariq Ramadan argues that Muslims have tried to adapt to the global financial system by creating protective Islamic banking solutions shielding them within small spheres of Halal (lawful) while they did nothing to change the outside. This transformational reform would require mundane knowledge and ethical grounds. Teariq believes that rereading the text has reached it's boundaries... and it is time to investigate considering human context and humans themselves as a source. This indeed implies a radical change that would not be easily accepted. Islamic schools of law and jurisprudence: (I'm surprised at my ignorance of these intellectual endeavors) 1-Deductive school of Alshafi'i. Setting methods of extracting judgment from the text. 2-Inductive school of Abu Hanifa. Methods of extracting lows from the bulk of the available by using Qiyas (analogical reasoning) 3-The school of higher objectives (Maqasid) The higher objectives of the divine legislator are preserving Religion, life, reason, progeny, property and sometimes honor is added.
«فلا يمكن ادعاء وجود واقع إنساني لا يمكن تغييره، كما لا توجد سلطة بشرية مطلقة وخالدة، ولا يوجد تحد نهائي غير قابل للتبديل، وهذه هي سنة الله تعالى في خلقه. ضمير المؤمن، كغيره من الضمائر الإنسانية، يرى كل شيء ممكناً. إن الإيمان يعني الثقة، كما إن الفكر هنا يعني المقاومة.»
طارق رمضان عالم مُفكر إنساني مسلم يرى القضايا ويُحللها من منظور غير تقليدي. هنا يناقش طارق رمضان قضية الإصلاح الجذري في التعاطي مع القضايا الحياتية المُعاصرة التي تلم بالعالم الإسلامي والجاليات الإسلامية في المجتمعات الأوروبية. حوى هذا الكتاب ثلاثة مواضيع رئيسة هُنّ: ١- إعادة النظر في طبيعة الإصلاح، والتكييف مع تطور المجتمعات والعلوم والعالم بُغية الوصول إلى التغيير الجذري.
٢- إعادة النظر في جغرافية أصول الفقه.
٣- العمل على تحقيق الانسجام بين علماء النصوص وعلماء الواقع.
ما يُميّز طارق رمضان في طرحه وكتابه هذا هو الانفتاح الكبير في الاتجاهين : علوم الفقه الإسلامية وعلوم الواقع ( العلوم الإنسانية والمادية الحديثة) بشكل لا يتعارض ولا ينفي علم عن علم آخر.
الكتاب ثريٌ بالمعرفة ودسم للغاية ويحتاج لنفس طويل لاستيعاب محتواه نظرًا للصبغة التحليلية فيه، بيد أن القارئ سيجدُ الكثير من الإجابات الشافية فيه.
أخيرًا أقتبس الشذرة الختامية من الكتابِ
«قانون الحياة وقانون التاريخ، وسنة الله تعلمنا في كل يوم أنه يقع على ��اتق الأجيال القادمة تطوير رؤى وتأملات الذين سبقوهم وتعميقها وتطويرها. وبناء عليه، فقد نقلت هنا رؤية وفكرة: الله أسأل أن يرعاها إذا كانت نافعة، أو أن يمحيه إذا لم يكن لها نفع.»
While containing arguments both rational and feasible, I am afraid Tariq Ramadan's intentions for this book will be overshadowed by far right-wing westerners using Ramadan as their token Muslim. Ramadan's mother being the daughter of the founder of The Muslim Brotherhood allows for a very interesting perspective. That's where my praise will end I am afraid. I am confused as to who exactly is Ramadan's target audience. Who is it exactly that must embrace the modern west, it certainly can't be the extremists because they are beyond reasoning, is it the Muslims that fall in-between? Statistically, the Muslims that fall 'in-between' who are violent and archaic in nature belong to low-socioeconomic backgrounds with little to no education outside of Islamic education, resulting in widespread low IQ. Proper education is not a Western phenomenon. It would be my argument that the problem lies within how the education system within Muslim countries favours and benefits Muslims who are wealthy and kicks aside all other Muslims to somehow claw their way to the top. A cultural shift is in need to change, not a reformist religious one, cultures always change, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst, religion simply follows suit. If I am wrong and Islam is in need of reform alone, I must ask that Christianity be reformed thanks to the continued bombing of abortion clinics and Synagogues, the murder of abortion doctors, of gay, lesbian and transgender people, of Jewish people and for the creation of the Ku Klux Klan. I must also ask for reform on Judaism for the continued murder of gay, lesbian and transgender people, for the barbaric murder and the abuse of authority and power on occupied Palestinian land. But I will not, because they are blanket statements that serve no purpose and pushes not progress, but regress.
The book is the result of more than two decades of throurough research to make a diagnosis of the Muslim's intellectual crisis and to come up with an alternative approach...worth reading over and over!
Ce livre m'a usé. Ce n'ai pas sa longueur mais plutôt par l'intensité des informations qui y sont inscrites.
Le livre se divise principalement en trois parties:
1. TR explique le besoin et le pourquoi de la réforme: les adaptations habituelles des fatawa aux questions posées par le contexte actuel ne sont plus acceptés et ne font qu'assombrir le côté lumineux de la religion: à savoir sa capacité à l'adaptation au contexte tout en gardant une certaine fidélité aux Textes.
2. Petit parcours historique sur les écoles de droit et de la jurisprudence islamique en distinguant trois approches principales: approche inductive (hanafites), approche déductive (shafiites), et une approche par les objectifs supérieurs de la Voie (maqasid al chari'a)
3. Développement de l'idée de la réforme: Il propose de revoir les objectifs supérieurs de la Voie, en intégrant des objectifs inspirés par l'Univers. Les sources de droit seront l'Univers et les Textes et non pas les Textes seulement comme tente de nous le faire croire certains courants islamiques. Et pour finir, une étude de cas dans différents domaines, afin de montrer les implications de cette réforme.
4 étoiles car l'auteur semble être des fois trop réconciliant avec la "modernité".
Le livre mérite une seconde lecture ... à suivre !
"Radical Reform" is at its best when it asks critical questions related to the currect state of the muslim ulama, and when it highlights the increasing inability of traditional islamic theological scholarship to contend with the ever-changing moral, political and technological landscape of modern society.
Ramadan's diagnosis of why the muslim world is continuously on the defensive is compelling and well thought-out. According to Ramadan, the muslim world is stuck in a reactive, rather than proactive role, because it lacks the ability to quickly and flexibly analyze modern issues and be the moral and philosophical trailblazer it used to be.
Ramadan does to a large extent deliver on the titular promise of a "radical reform": His proposal is original, and lands squarely outside of traditional islamic scholarship. Among other things, Ramadan proposes that the "islamic sciences" such as the study of the Koran, not be considered more or less virtuous or important than "non-islamic sciences" such as political science, economics or engineering. Ramadan goes even further and suggests that ijtihad should be practiced by scholars of the Koran in cooperation with scholars of "the world", as the material world is just as much guidance to mankind as the Koran is.
While this thinking is very much out-of-the-box, the book unfortunately falls short in the details. Most importantly, Ramadan fails to acknowledge the distinction between normative and descriptive endeavours - traditional scholars of the Koran who are well-versed in fiqh deal in morality, good and evil. Political scientists, economists and chemists do not. How is this difference to be reconciled? At the most basic level, Ramadan does not argue as to how Hume's is-ought divide is to breached, and the sparse details and surface-level case analysis leaves a lot to be desired.
This is THE book on true and effective reform of the contemporary muslim world and with it Professeur Ramadan has effectively entered the Pantheon of great muslim reformists of the likes of Al Ghazali. I was already a convinced fan of the professeur but this book put my admiration for him over the moon!!
As you can tell, I am an enthusiast of the thought of Dr.Ramadan but I think that his thought has actually evolved along the years: to my great surprise he is actually getting better and better and this book is the culmination of his genius. I have actually read the french version of the book in 2009 since I am a francophone first and I can confidently say that « mon maitre a penser» effectively nailed it! He mastered in depth the theme of transformational reform that he proposed in this book; however, like all great intellectual masterpiece, it might turn off the casual reader who is not interested in in depth historical analysis and scholarly reasoning.
In conclusion, I would say that this book could not be more timely as more and more muslims, just like the rest of humanity, are now faced with the greatest choice of our age: evolve or die. I would recommend this book to all serious intellectual out there who is looking to comprehend the muslim world and what it is currently going through and why it needs URGENT radical reform.
Terrific book. The only real downside is that the language used by Ramadan is very academic. Because of this, a lot of Muslims will never read this book since it can be quite a tough one to get through. Ramadan only attracts a certain group of Muslims because of his language and he should really change something about that since it's so important to reach as many Muslims as possible. These kinds of books are extremely important for the Muslim community. In my own social circle I'm not able to discuss this book with anyone since everyone tells me they cannot keep their focus due to the language used. During my years at university I was often annoyed with all the fancy academic texts I had to read and write, as if it was a competition of Who Can Use the Most Academic Words. Most of the times you really don't have to write that academically. From my own experience I know it can be a challenge, but it's absolutely not impossible. I've read so many academic books and articles that were groundbreaking, but only a relatively small group of people ended up reading them since academic texts are simply not made for the masses. It's actually funny how Ramadan keeps writing about how Muslims should stand up and implement the things he's writing about, while his style of writing excludes a pretty big chunk of the audience he wants to reach.
What is the difference between Reform and Renewal? What is the relation between texts and contexts? Do we care about both? While reading this book, I remembered a saying of one of the western orientalists describing Islam as "This religion revolves around texts rather than people".. It is Not Islam that cares about texts rather than the context, it is our scholars who are still unable to build a reasonable relationship between the changing reality and the texts, unlike the Companions of the prophet who used to think about both equally. In the name of preserving religion, many scholars closed many doors of thinking and flexibility. Tariq Ramadan discusses this issue in a very smart way, emphasizing that considering the Higher Objectives and Ethical goals of our religion is the key for us to move from our acts of adapting to the changes of the world rather than transforming this world into a better place. He also explains that we have two books, Quran and this whole universe, and how we are supposed to deal with both of these Revelations scientifically.
Many will not understand it, broken into two parts: Theoretical and Practical, I do believe this book will have a lasting and profound impact on Muslim reformers. Some, both supporters and opponents in their haste think it is not radical, or that it is not radical enough and Ramadan is bringing up points from the past, deep within the classical tradition.
It is true that Ramadan deals seriously with the Tradition and his analysis of them are piercing. He has however re-discovered that the true reform must take the Book of the Universe and the Book of God together, the scholars of the text and the scholars of the context must not only come together but there must be a recalibration of authorities, putting the two on par leading to more than just adaptive reform, but instituting transformation in all the realms: ethics, medicine, conflict, international relations, social issues, etc.
Ramadan challenges the current pre-dominant way of thinking of many scholars. He deconstructs their thinking into elements, causes and detrimental consequences, and then suggests the alternative and correct way (in his view). His arguments are very convincing as he supports them with evidence from the Texts, history, knowledge of the world and indeed rationality. Anyone with insight into the actual religion of Islam, the problems of the Muslim world and Muslims today, can only read the pages of the book with awe at how accurately Ramadan identifies, describes and addresses those issues. The vision and recomendations of this book are vital for every Muslim, and even non-Muslim, seeking a better world and seeking true faithfulness to the Creator of the world.
This book has three main points: the first one is that the contemporary Muslim world (both East and West) must reconsider the terms and modalities of the reform process (islah, tajdid). The second one is the reconsideration of the contents and the geography of the sources for the Islamic Jurispudence(usul al-fiqh), and finally as Ramadan proposes, the text scholars and the contexts scholars should work together to create this radical reform that Ramadan suggests.
This book give me a new point of view especially about how I should implement Islam in my daily life. For example in treating women. Islamic community now, do not provide good access for women to access mosque with comfortably because the facilities for women are scarce. Majority of opinion in some Islamic community do not support the appearence of women in mosque. They prefer the women to pray in their house. Eventhough their prophet never prohibited them to attend the mosque.
Wajar diberikan ruang untuk dibaca. Our fears dan keinginan kita untuk remain faithful of the Deen especially the text without understanding its meaning and substances might ended up kita mengkhianatinya. Harus peka dengan objectives, meaning, substances beyond just norms and forms supaya amal-amal kita tidak menjadi not more than contradictions in itself. Of course this is an oversummarization of the book, please make time to read and digest.
thought provoking, core concepts discussed addressing issues of Islamic ethics, rulings, education,women ,etc both the text and context on equal footings as well as relation and input from our modern world and society. Great insight into relationship between physical and sacred sciences and role and duties of all scholars.
I havent read this book yet but I follow his talk and discourse trough the videos. Still in progress to understand the idea of reform. I admire him so much as his grandfather :) Let's read this book together!
Setiap zaman ada pembaharunya. Dalam komuniti Muslim semasa, terutamanya—walau tidak khusus pada—Barat, buku ini boleh dikatakan adalah seruan pembaharuan atas pembaharuan.
Tariq Ramadan melihat bahawa usaha islah dan tajdid yang dilaungkan sejak awal moden hingga kini sudah terperangkap dalam reformasi yang beradaptasi ketimbang tranformatif, hanya mengikut atau sekadar menyesuaikan, bahkan menyadur tatanan semasa—gagal kritis kepada inti atau nilai dari orde semasa yang dipaksakan kepada Muslim abad ini. Penulis tidak sekadar berhenti di buku ini sahaja; CILE yang diusahakannya telah membawa teori atau seruan yang dikemukakan dalam buku ini kepada pengamalan, walaupun hasil "radikalnya" masih belum terzahir.
Pun begitu, reformasi yang diserunya masih terhad dalam ruang likup hukum; etika samar yang dicanang itu sementelah dijerat ke lembah hukum. Tiada apa yang "radikal" biarpun seruannya sangat kena pada waktunya—di tengah-tengah amalan penyaduran istilah keislaman ke dalam inti atau nilai normatif sekarang giat berjalan dalam banyak ruang: pendidikan, perbankan, budaya dll.
J'ai apprécié la lecture de ce livre, malgré des passages complexes à appréhender et nécessitant un savoir préalable et des pré-requis.
Le livre est un voyage à travers l'histoire de la législation musulmane, son élaboration, sa mise en oeuvre et son développement ou la crise de son évolution.
Partant des sources et fondements, et à la lumière des finalités, Tariq propose de revisiter et l'élaboration de nouvelles finalités et objectifs supérieures, issus d'une lecture en miroir des deux révélations le Livre révélé et l'Univers, ou la Création.
Sous cette lumière, différentes thématiques sont abordées : le cultuel, l'éthique, le politique, le spirituel ainsi que les différentes questions contemporaires liées, à la médecine, l'économie, la sociologie, les femmes ...
Je le recommande vivement à tous ceux qui étudient les approches réformistes.
Un petit regret de trouver des phrases tellement longues que le lecteur peut se perdre entre la réflexion du début et la conclusion de la phrase.
