Description
Description
In this fascinating study, renowned historian and scholar S. Irfan Habib takes it upon himself to trace the trajectory of 'mainstream' Islam's questioning of modern science. Starting with the reformers of the nineteenth century and ending with present-day ideologues, Habib questions the controversial idea of 'Islamic science' as a category distinct from 'modern', 'Eurocentric' science. Through the lives of famous men like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Habib shows the reader that the modern-day promulgation of Islam and its followers as 'anti-modern 'and 'anti-science' is a myth that leads, quite literally, to explosive consequences.
