H.C. Hillier and Basit Bilal Koshul, eds. Muhammad Iqbal: Essays on the Reconstruction of Modern Muslim Thought

Abstract

Muslims have been going through hard times in those last twenty years. The First World appreciation of Islam and Muslims has been very negative due to the fundamentalists’ acts of terrorism. At the right moment in 2015, H.C. Hillier and Basit Koshul edited this nine-chapters book by different scholars about the life-activity of the philosopher, poet, and political and public influencer Mohammad Iqbal, the “Spiritual Father of Pakistan”. After their preface describing each chapter, Riffat Hassan presents Iqbal and his philosophical theories and new postulations of Islam, highlighting the uniqueness of Iqbal’s philosophical vision.
