Muslim enlightened thought in South Asia / Ayesha Jalal. Abingdon, Oxon : Routledge, 2025. xii, 308 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm Includes bibliographical references and index. "Muslim Enlightened Thought in South Asia is an engaging history of the enlightened liberality of modern Muslim poets, philosophers, educationists, novelists, historians, artists, and public intellectuals, who drew on a long Muslim intellectual tradition beyond the "Western" liberalism of empire. Interpreting the pathbreaking contributions of an array of creative Muslim figures, the book challenges the view portraying them as exemplars of an insular and defensive "apologetic modernity". It highlights a strand of Muslim thought and liberality of mind that has been ignored by scholars obsessed with dire and dour theologians. This book questions both the presumptions of historians of liberalism that exclude Muslims from the domain of modern liberal thought and the predilections of those scholars of Islam who lean solely on discovering theological rigidity among ulama. It analyzes the forces that have contributed to the narrowing of intellectual space since the late twentieth century and the resilience of expansive and enlightened ideas that have kept candles flickering in the enveloping darkness. Foregrounding the enlightened conceptions of Ghalib, Sayyid Ahmad Khan, Iqbal and Sadequain on faith, selfhood, history, and time - and bringing other Muslim thinkers out of the shadows, the book offers a nuanced reformulation of the meaning of religion for our challenging times. It will be of interest to a wide readership interested in the history of Islam and South Asia"-- ENH Sabiha Huq, PhD Professor Department of English and Humanities BRAC University Course Name and No. :Course Name and No. : Thesis (ENG 698) Hye Trade International 45345, 45346, 45347, 45348, 45349 Islam South Asia History. 20787 Islam and secularism South Asia History. 60297 Islamic modernism South Asia History. 60298 Liberalism South Asia History. 60299 Ayesha Abed Library General Stacks ddc BK 47721 47721 0 0 ddc 0 297_095400000000000_JAL 0 78768 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2026-01-29 Hye Trade International 3799.00 0 297.0954 JAL 3010045348 2026-01-29 4 7598.00 2026-01-29 BK Requisitioned by Sabiha Huq (Professor, Department of English and Humanities, BRAC University) for the course named- Thesis ‘’(ENG 698)’’ 0 0 ddc 0 297_095400000000000_JAL 0 78769 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2026-01-29 Hye Trade International 3799.00 0 297.0954 JAL 3010045349 2026-01-29 5 7598.00 2026-01-29 BK Requisitioned by Sabiha Huq (Professor, Department of English and Humanities, BRAC University) for the course named- Thesis ‘’(ENG 698)’’ 0 0 ddc 0 297_095400000000000_JAL 0 78770 BRACUL BRACUL CIR 2026-01-29 Hye Trade International 3799.00 0 297.0954 JAL 3010045345 2026-01-29 1 7598.00 2026-01-29 1HOUR Requisitioned by Sabiha Huq (Professor, Department of English and Humanities, BRAC University) for the course named- Thesis ‘’(ENG 698)’’; As instructed by the University Librarian, the book has been placed on a one hour loan period following the receipt of five copies. 0 0 ddc 0 297_095400000000000_JAL 0 78771 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2026-01-29 Hye Trade International 3799.00 0 297.0954 JAL 3010045347 2026-01-29 3 7598.00 2026-01-29 BK Requisitioned by Sabiha Huq (Professor, Department of English and Humanities, BRAC University) for the course named- Thesis ‘’(ENG 698)’’ 0 0 ddc 0 297_095400000000000_JAL 0 78772 BRACUL BRACUL NEW 2026-01-29 Hye Trade International 3799.00 3 1 297.0954 JAL 3010045346 2026-05-04 2026-04-25 2 7598.00 2026-01-29 BK Requisitioned by Sabiha Huq (Professor, Department of English and Humanities, BRAC University) for the course named- Thesis ‘’(ENG 698)’’
