Islam and the Notion Modernity

Abstract

Most Muslim countries and Muslim scholars continue to dispute Islam and modernity, even if contemporary Western scholars have begun to address post-modernity. The main issue is how to deal with modernity and whether or not modernity and Islam could be related. It appears that Muslim Reformists and Muslim Revivalists have somewhat diverse perspectives on the matter. This essay aims to examine Muslim reformists' points of view regarding Islam and modernity's compatibility.
