More about the book

The book presents a compelling argument that self-critique and critique of others are essential elements of Islam, countering the perception that the religion is anti-critical thinking. Ahmad explores rich traditions of critique within Islamic culture, particularly in South Asia, and challenges Western notions of reason. By analyzing religious texts in multiple languages, he constructs an alternative genealogy of critique in Islam, portraying it as an active agent in intellectual discourse rather than a passive subject.
