Maunn’s Reviews > The Reconstruction Of Religious Thought In Islam > Status Update

What's up with these simultaneous double reading of reconstruction?

No, I was trying to look for the version that I’m reading, and it’s not here. I wanted to trace my progress, so I added this one, because it has almost the same number of pages … HAHAHA

Hmm cool I read it years ago and understood nothing at that time. Going to start reading it again this week.

You should! It’s one of the most fascinating books that I’ve ever read. Heard that it’s not even his magnum opus.Javednama apparently has more of his important philosophical prose

yk as far as his philosophical thought is concerned "reconstruction" is probably his magnum opus and it's very important to differentiate between his philosophical thought vs his poetry. People often confuse these two and tries to extract philosophy of Iqbal through his poetry. You should listen to these few lectures on reconstruction by Dr Wahab Suri, they will surely help alot (replace the dot with .)

Oh yeah! I meant the same, even made a tweet about that(LOL). Once you read his philosophical prose, you grasp the meaning of his poetry through his point of view and not the commentator’s.
And thank you for the YouTube lessons, I will watch them. But I want to try to understand them by myself first, try to reflect and build my own theories… HAHAHA.
