The speaker discusses how this book engages the reader with the idea of engagement between the modern and the contemporary world? How can Muslim tradition be reconciled with a world in continuous flux and change? These questions lie at the heart of current discussions of the Islamic faith and its doctrines, beliefs, and practices. The review also discusses the key themes as identity and citizenship, piety and protest, and music and modes of dress. Muslim and non-Muslim scholars explore how religiosity and tradition may both have an active role in the unfolding of what we understand as 'the modern'.Modernity is commonly portrayed as a break from traditionalism: and as a marriage to the secular. Yet the core values at stake - from the ethos of intellectualism to the pluralism of civic culture - have roots in diverse civilizations and certainly in Islam. A vital theme in the book is the role played by the ethical imagination in expressions of the Civil determined by a diversity of Qur'anic understandings.
