Description
Islam and God-Centricity: Reassessing Fundamental Theological Assumptions
is the second book in a multi-volume series. In this volume, an essential feature
of Prophet Muḥammad's message of God-centricity is propounded, namely
the spirit of sincere inquiry and continual learning. This feature is quintessentially
the definition of what it is to be human. The history of humanity
has been punctuated by waves of progression and regression, both of which
are the effects of either the presence or absence of the spirit of sincere inquiry
and continual learning within individuals, communities and societies. Today,
there is no facet of life in which this spirit is lacking more than in the realm
of religion. Paradoxically, Prophet Muḥammad taught that genuine inquiry in
every aspect of life is intrinsic to the Godly life - it is inherent in the process of
becoming God-conscious (muttaqī). Fundamental to this process is the questioning
of theological assumptions of religion that prevail in the culture that
one is born into. This book endeavours to convey the necessity for every Muslim
today to initiate sincere religious inquiry and to take the reader through
an analysis of current prevailing Muslim theological assumptions.
