Western Muslims and the Future of Islam by Tariq Ramadan

Western Muslims and the Future of Islam by Tariq Ramadan addresses one of the most important questions facing Muslims today: what does it mean to be a Western Muslim? As Muslim communities in Europe and America grow, the book examines how Muslims can remain faithful to the principles of Islam while living fully within Western societies and cultures.

Ramadan offers a fresh reading of Islamic sources, interpreted for a Western context, and argues for an independent Western Islam rooted not in the traditions of any single Muslim-majority country, but in the cultural reality of the West itself. He considers how universal Islamic principles can guide everyday life, civic participation and engagement with secular societies, and he challenges the idea that Islam must be defined in opposition to the West.

Readers will explore:

• Muslim identity in France, Britain, Germany and America, among women and men alike
• How Islamic principles can be understood and lived in a Western context
• Faithful participation in civic and public life without compromising belief
• The future of Islam as a lived, rooted presence in Western societies

This book is well suited to Muslims living in the West, to students of Islam and contemporary society, and to any reader interested in faith, identity and coexistence in diverse societies. Order online from Books Garden with cash on delivery in Dhaka and delivery across Bangladesh.
