This research article deals with the concept of modernity in Islam with its global implications by exploratory elaboration of origin of modernity in Islam, and its limitations. The aim of the study is to analyze the growth of Islamic modernity and its evolution with the passage of time. The research emphasizes on the challenges that are confronted by Muslim countries all over the world. This phenomenon had its repercussions so the reactions of Muslims to modernity are discussed and the views of modernist are also delineated. Theoretically this research evaluates the substantial challenges which are categorized as the challenges on the basis of theoretical aspects, traditional and also cultural aspects. These categories are explored with an insight in to the modernity in Islam from a global perspective. Once the challenges are identified then it is time to address them and hence this article also discussed the various possible solutions to it by proposing the bridging the gap between academic scholarship and public knowledge, area studies and the social sciences and the bridging of multiple eras. |
