In this pivotal work, renowned scholar Dr. Abd al-Karim Bakkar addresses the intellectual stagnation within the modern Islamic world. He argues that a culture of avoiding difficult or 'forbidden' questions has led to a deep-seated crisis. The book courageously tackles sensitive topics, analyzing the causes of this intellectual deadlock and proposing a path toward renewal. Bakkar champions the revival of critical thinking and open dialogue as essential tools to confront contemporary challenges, aiming to rejuvenate Islamic thought and empower Muslims to navigate modernity with confidence and clarity.
