Islamic Reformism
Islamic Reformism refers to a movement within Islam that seeks to reinterpret and modernize the faith in response to contemporary issues. Reformists advocate for a return to the original teachings of the Quran and Hadith, emphasizing reason, ethics, and social justice. They often challenge traditional interpretations and practices that they view as outdated or misaligned with the core principles of Islam.
This movement has emerged in various forms across the Muslim world, influenced by historical events and social changes. Prominent figures in Islamic Reformism include Muhammad Abduh and Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, who aimed to reconcile Islam with modernity and promote education and critical thinking among Muslims.
