Detailed Description
Modernity dazzles with scientific progress and connectivity, yet often unsettles belief, identity, and meaning. A Muslim’s Guide to Modernity addresses this crossroads through sixty concise essays from Shaykh Surkheel Sharif (Abu Aaliyah), each designed to orient the reader to a principled, balanced response rooted in Islam’s timeless guidance while engaging the present with intelligence and care. The essays model clarity over confusion and moderation over polarization—striking a measured path between isolation and assimilation, tradition and reason, repose and action, conservation and change.
Written for students, professionals, and community builders alike, the book functions as a portable companion for personal reflection and study circles. It offers practical insight on how to withstand modern pressures without slipping into reaction or relativism, nurturing a faithful life that is intellectually grounded, spiritually alive, and socially responsible in the West and beyond.
