Islam is often unfairly linked to extremism, misogyny, and bigotry, raising the question of why so many embrace this faith. Haroon Moghul provides a unique Muslim perspective, addressing profound questions about identity, purpose, and the afterlife. He moves beyond mere description to offer a bold vision for the future of Islam. The text advocates for a contemporary way of being Muslim, one that honors the past while looking ahead. It explores the essence of Islam, its historical figures, and core ideas, aiming not just to recount history but to inspire a forward-thinking approach. Moghul emphasizes that Islam is fundamentally a religion of intimacy and love, suggesting that it can and should return to these roots. Achieving this vision requires Muslims to reclaim their faith, strengthen their community, and redefine their future on their own terms. The work presents a hopeful interpretation of Islam for the coming age, one that resonates with the confidence and richness of the faith's heritage. Ultimately, Moghul argues that the future of Islam lies not in reformation but in restoring its original spirit and values.
