Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book offers a balanced, accessible introduction to contemporary debates among Muslims about modernity — covering issues like democracy, human rights, gender, minorities, religious interpretation, and relations between Islam and the West. The author presents multiple Muslim perspectives (traditional and progressive) on each issue, challenging the stereotype that all Muslims think alike. Drawing on sociology, religious studies, post‑colonial theory, and feminist critique, the book is designed both as a textbook for students and a primer for general readers seeking to understand the evolving relationship between Islam and modern global society.
