Moral and Spiritual Transformation in Islam

In the present work, Moral and Spiritual Transformation in Islam (Selected Writings and Lectures, Vol.1), edited by Abdul Kader Choughley, Fazlur Rahman Ansari (1914-1974), one of the erudite South Asian Muslim scholars of the twentieth century, puts forth deeply moving intellectual andspiritual meditations on Islam, its meaning, the Sunna of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the concept of Ibādah, the inner and outer dimensions of Islam, the meaning of the Dhikr (remembrance of God), along with the challenges faced by Muslims in the modern world and the possible solutions to such challenges from an Islamic perspective.Abdul Kader Choughley, an independent South African Muslim scholar, has contributed enormously to the revival of South Asian Muslim scholarship, during the past decade or so, withseveral valuable studies on Islam in South Asia, focusing on Islamic revivalism. And he deserves accolades for his insightful work, Fazlur Rahman Ansari Aligarh Years: 1933-1947 (Tawasul International Publishing, Rome, 2024), that focuses on Ansari's formative years, especially his intellectual development as a student of philosophy at the Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. One of Ansari's works, Islam: An Introduction (2019), edited by Choughley, has been recently translated into Portuguese. An upcoming work, The Qur'ānic Revelation, is an overview of Dr Ansari's comprehensive study in the genre of Quranic studies.Some other important works of Choughley's contribution to South Asian Muslim revivalism discourse are Abdul Aleem Siddiqui and His Mission (2021) and Sayyid Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi: Life and Legacy (Tawasul International Publishing, Rome, 2024). Of notable mention is How to Study the Qurʾān: Sayyid Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi's Approach (Tawasul International Publishing, Rome, 2024),
