When it first appeared in 1882, this book was a pioneering work in every respect. It was the first coherent study of modern' Islam, explaining in a simple and functional manner its tenets and roots, the diversity of its cultural and political experience, and its dynamism and potential for good in the modern world.

When it first appeared in 1882, this book was a pioneering work in every respect. It was the first coherent study of modern' Islam, explaining in a simple and functional manner its tenets and roots, the diversity of its cultural and political experience, and its dynamism and potential for good in the modern world. This was at a time when the Muslim world was perceived by most people in the west as inert and spent, caught in an irredeemable malaise of its own making. Blunt's attitude, shaped by several factors and sharpened by personal knowledge of important parts of the Muslim world and close association with many leading reformers in it, was unprecedented and startling at the time. And though later British policies in the Arab Islamic world did not always meet with Blunt's approval, he held late in life that his vision, as expressed in The Future of Islam , did have an impact on some British policies towards the Arab and Muslim worlds. Much has happened in the Muslim world and in the world at large since the book appeared but Blunt's insights and method remain relevant. They certainly were not lost on Blunt's generation of politicians and intellectuals in both the east and the west, and it would be highly germane to trace some of the book's effects on policies and ideologies during Blunt's time and in later periods. The documentary value of this book is hence self-evident. An extension of that documentary purpose is to trace, somewhat briefly, the evolution of Blunt's own unique and non-conformist but shrewd political views. But there is additionally a perennial (and prophetic) quality in the book, which makes it relevant to contemporary studies of Islam at the end of the 20th century and beyond. This new edition includes an Introduction and numerous footnotes, updating statistics, explaining the background to historical events and religious and political figures, and filling in gaps.Soort: Extra grote letters;Taal: Engels;Oorspronkelijke titel: The Future of Islam;Afmetingen: 8x189x246 mm;Gewicht: 263,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: oktober 2007;ISBN10: 1434639959;ISBN13: 9781434639950; Engelstalig | Paperback | 2007.

The author has predicted for muslims great political misfortunes in the immediate future, because he believes that these are a necessary step in the process of their spiritual development; but he has a supreme confidence in Islam, not only as a spiritual, but as a temporal system the heritage and gift of the Arabian race, and capable of satisfying their most civilized wants; and he believes in the hour of their political resurgence. In the meantime he is convinced that he serves their interests best by speaking what he holds to be the truth regarding their situation. Their day of empire has all but passed away, but there remains to them a day of social independence better than empire. Enlightened, reformed and united in sympathy, Muslims need not fear political destruction in their original homes, Arabia, Egypt, and North Africa; and these must suffice them as a Dar el Islam till better days shall come.

These essays, written for the Fortnightly Review in the summer and autumn of 1881, were intended as first sketches only of a maturer work which the author hoped, before giving finally to the public, to complete at leisure, and develop in a form worthy of critical acceptance, and of the great subject he had chosen. Events, however, have marched faster than he at all anticipated, and it has become a matter of importance with him that the idea they were designed to illustrate should be given immediate and full publicity. The French, by their invasion of Tunis, have precipitated the Mohammedan movement in North Africa; Egypt has roused herself for a great effort of national and religious reform; and on all sides Islam is seen to be convulsed by political portents of ever-growing intensity. He believes that his countrymen will in a very few months have to make their final choice in India, whether they will lead or be led by the wave of religious energy which is sweeping eastwards, and he conceives it of consequence that at least they should know the main issues of the problem before them. To shut their eyes to the great facts of contemporary history, because that history has no immediate connection with their daily life, is a course unworthy of a great nation; and in England, where the opinion of the people guides the conduct of affairs, can hardly fail to bring disaster. It should be remembered that the modern British Empire, an agglomeration of races ruled by public opinion in a remote island, is an experiment new in the history of the world, and needs justification in exceptional enlightenment; and it must be remembered, too, that no empire ever yet was governed without a living policy. The author, therefore, has resolved to publish his work, crude as it is, without more delay, in the hope that it may be instrumental in guiding the national choice. He is, nevertheless, fully aware of its defects both in accuracy and completeness, and he can only hope that they may be pardoned him in view of the general truth of the picture he has drawn.
