Islam and God-Centricity

Islam and God-Centricity: Reassessing Fundamental Theological Assumptionsis the second book in a multi-volume series. In this volume, an essential featureof Prophet Mu?ammad's message of God-centricity is propounded, namelythe spirit of sincere inquiry and continual learning. This feature is quintessentiallythe definition of what it is to be human. The history of humanityhas been punctuated by waves of progression and regression, both of whichare the effects of either the presence or absence of the spirit of sincere inquiryand continual learning within individuals, communities and societies. Today,there is no facet of life in which this spirit is lacking more than in the realmof religion. Paradoxically, Prophet Mu?ammad taught that genuine inquiry inevery aspect of life is intrinsic to the Godly life it is inherent in the process ofbecoming God-conscious (muttaqi). Fundamental to this process is the questioningof theological assumptions of religion that prevail in the culture thatone is born into. This book endeavours to convey the necessity for every Muslimtoday to initiate sincere religious inquiry and to take the reader throughan analysis of current prevailing Muslim theological assumptions.
