Opis

Born at a time when external challenges to the Muslim world were many, and its internal problems both complex and overwhelming, Husein Đozo reinterpreted the teachings of the Qur’an and hadīth to a generation for whom the truths and realities of Islam had fallen into disuse. As a Muslim scholar in a European, communist, multi-cultural and multi-religious society, Đozo and his work present an exciting account through which to examine the innovative interpretations of Islam. Since Đozo’s writings in general and his fatwās in particular have continued to be published in the Balkan lands up to the present, this book sheds light on assumptions underlying modern Islamic thought in the region.

Recenzje

"Husein Ðozo in particular represents an instructive case-study of the introduction of 'Abduh's modernist tendencies into a formerly very traditionalist Islamic setting which made this monograph all the more interesting and challenging.” – Dr. T. J. Winter, Cambridge University, UK
