Series: Islam and God-Centricity

Islam and God-Centricity: Reassessing Fundamental Theological Assumptions

is the second book in a multi-volume series. In this volume, an essential feature

of Prophet Muḥammad's message of God-centricity is propounded, namely

the spirit of sincere inquiry and continual learning. This feature is quintessentially

the definition of what it is to be human. The history of humanity

has been punctuated by waves of progression and regression, both of which

are the effects of either the presence or absence of the spirit of sincere inquiry

and continual learning within individuals, communities and societies. Today,

there is no facet of life in which this spirit is lacking more than in the realm

of religion. Paradoxically, Prophet Muḥammad taught that genuine inquiry in

every aspect of life is intrinsic to the Godly life - it is inherent in the process of

becoming God-conscious (muttaqī). Fundamental to this process is the questioning

of theological assumptions of religion that prevail in the culture that

one is born into. This book endeavours to convey the necessity for every Muslim

today to initiate sincere religious inquiry and to take the reader through

an analysis of current prevailing Muslim theological assumptions.
