Early twentieth century has witnessed a number of well-organised movements for the revival of Islam in different parts of the Muslim world. In the Indo-Pak subcontinent, Mawlana Mawdudi, the founder of the Jama'at-i-Islami, has made an indelible mark on history by organising the Jama'ah and successfully leading it through different turbulent periods and delineating cogent guidelines for the revival of Islam and application of its teachings to the problems of the modern world. Few men have captured the imagination and inspired the educated Muslims during the last few decades to the extent Mawlana Mawdadi has done. His admirers, friends and associates have made an effort, through this volume, to pay their heartful tribute to Mawlana's long record of service to the cause of Islam, especially to Islamic scholarship.
Islamic Perspectives: Studies in Honour of Sayyid Abul A'la Mawdūdi is a result of collaboration and research by a number of reputed scholars of Islam, both from orient and occident, who come from diverse background, but share their faith in Islam. The variety of interest, approach and viewpoint reflected in the different contributions of the volume mirror the richness of diversity which has always been the characteristic of healthy Islamic intellectual life. This Festschrift contains articles on aspects of Islamic intellectual perspective and heritage and outlines the nature of Islamic society, state and economy. It also contains contributions on some celebrated scholars and reformers who have made lasting effect on Islamic movement in the recent past as well as a bibliography of the writings of Mawlānā Mawdūdi together with an introdue tion to his vision of Islam and of Islamic revival. The book will be read with fascination by general readers as much as by the specialists in Islamic studies,
