| Summary: | Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan (1817-1898) was a dynamic force against conservatism,
superstition and inactivity which make him unparallel figure to reinterpret Islamic concepts
during 19 th century in the Indian subcontinent. He was a pioneer modernist among Muslim
scholars who played a dynamic and significant role to restructure the interpretation of Islam
in modern world. This paper will attempt to analyze Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan’s response to
religious thoughts and discuss his endeavors in order to reform Islamic religious concepts.
This paper will show his religious thoughts are relevant to modern concepts which represent
Islam as moderate, progressive and dynamic religion. Thus, his thoughts bring Islam and
modernity together which inspire Indian Muslims to emerge again. |
