Islamic Renaissance: a New Era has Started

Kassim Ahmad, a leading figure in modern Islamic Reform movement, diagnoses the multifaceted problems especially afflicting the so-called Muslim World, and offers solutions through a critical methodology and insight on history, philosophy, theology and politics." Edip Yuksel, J.D., author, philosopher, and activist. Kassim Ahmad examines how the two religions, monotheism and its opposite polytheism, came into existence and lived side by side, how the original monotheism of the Divine prophet-messengers from the earliest times five thousand years ago or even earlier, developed through prophets Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and ending in the final Prophet Muhammad of 7tbh Century Arabia. As we know, this original monotheism of one Divine religion called "submission/peace", in the valleys of the Nile, the Tigris and Euphrates broke up and deteriorated to become three religions, each with its own beliefs, myths and rituals. This is the Abrahamic tradition. Why the deterioration from the strict monotheism of original Islam? Does it mean that God has failed? What are the methods that God employs to overcome the deterioration? Thus the dramas of the so-called "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ, the rise and fall of nations, the fate of that world, and further, of all mankind, form the subject-matter of this book. To say that it is an ambitious book is an understatement. Kassim takes the bull by the horns.
