Reconstruction Of Religious Thought In Islam – Urdu

About Tashkeel E Jadid Ilahiyat E Islamia

Tashkeel E Jadid Ilahiyat E Islamia is the Urdu translation of Allama Iqbal’s famous English lectures, The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam. If you search for reconstruction of religious thought in Urdu, this is the book that puts those lectures in the language of the subcontinent.

The lectures are a landmark of modern Muslim thought. They ask how the living message of Islam can engage with modern science, philosophy and changing times, while holding on to the Quran. They are intellectually demanding, so a good Urdu rendering is a big help for many readers.

What the reconstruction of religious thought covers

• The role of knowledge and religious experience in Islamic thought.
• The philosophical test of the idea of Allah, and the Quranic view of the world.
• The meaning of human freedom, selfhood and immortality.
• The spirit of Muslim culture and the principle of movement in Islam.
• The place of ijtihad and how law may respond to changing times.

The reconstruction of religious thought is presented as lectures, so each chapter is a self-contained argument that builds on the last. Iqbal engages with Western thinkers and with classical Muslim scholars. Readers do not have to agree with every point to benefit from the discussion.

About the author, Allama Muhammad Iqbal

Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1877 to 1938) was a poet, philosopher and political thinker, born in Sialkot. He studied in Lahore, Cambridge and Munich and wrote poetry in both Urdu and Persian, including Bang-e-Dra and Asrar-e-Khudi. He is known as the poet-philosopher of the East and is honoured in Pakistan as its national poet. These lectures were delivered in India in the late 1920s and are among his chief prose works.

Why the reconstruction of religious thought is worth reading

The reconstruction of religious thought Iqbal proposes is not a break from tradition; it is a call for renewal rooted in the Quran. Reading it in Urdu lets many students engage directly with the argument without struggling over language, and it connects well with his poetry.

Who should read this book

• Students of Islamic studies and philosophy
• Readers of Iqbal’s poetry who want his prose thought
• Academics and researchers in modern Muslim thought
• Young readers asking how faith meets modernity
• Teachers preparing lessons on Iqbal

How to get the most from this book
