Abstract
Abstract This Handbook provides a comprehensive examination of Islamic reform movements and reformist thought across different regions and time periods. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars from around the world, it offers a rigorous and nuanced analysis of the conceptual underpinnings of reform and renewal in Islam, tracing the intellectual traditions and historical currents that have shaped Muslim thought from the premodern era to the present day. Organized into five thematic parts, the volume addresses contemporary issues in Islamic reform, including the reinterpretation of scripture, hadith, and jurisprudence, as well as the complexities of ijtihād in an increasingly interconnected world. It examines how Muslim thinkers and communities have engaged with modernity, colonialism, democracy, human rights, gender justice, and political violence, while also exploring emerging frontiers such as cyber-Islam and digital religious discourse. The Handbook profiles influential reformers, from Shah Wali Allah and Muhammad Abduh to Muhammad Asad and Yusuf al-Qaradawi, and surveys major reform movements, including Wahhabism, Salafism, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Deoband movement, and Islamic feminism. Regional perspectives span Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Muslim diaspora in the West, offering genuinely global coverage. Together, these contributions provide an authoritative and wide-ranging resource for scholars, students, and researchers engaged with contemporary Islamic thought, Muslim societies, and the ongoing debates that continue to shape the future of Islam worldwide.
