Islamic Awakening Between Rejection and Extremism (Issues of Islamic Thought, No. 2) (Issues of Islamic Thought Series, No 2)

A must-read treatise in the movement towards an Islamic Renaissance. Dr. Qaradawi contends that the extraordinary pressures of the modern world and internal decadence have distorted the Islamic vision of many Muslim youth. The response has been a retreat from modernism to conservatism and extremism. The author addresses the above predicament by analyzing the causes of the crisis and showing how to approach the Qur'an and Sunnah in a balanced and comprehensive manner to bring back a true Islamic civilization.
