Modern Islamic Thought in a Radical Age | ft. Muhammad Qasim Zaman | Hamari Tareekh Episode# 2

What does it mean to think about Islam in a radical age? How has modern Islamic thought evolved in response to political upheaval, intellectual challenges, and changing ideas about religious authority? In this episode of Hamari Tareekh, we speak with Muhammad Qasim Zaman, a leading scholar of Islam and South Asian intellectual history, about his book Modern Islamic Thought in a Radical Age. The conversation explores the development of modern Islamic thought, the changing role of Muslim scholars, and the ways Islamic intellectual traditions have responded to the challenges of the modern world. It offers an opportunity to examine the historical contexts in which Muslim thinkers interpreted religious traditions, debated authority, and engaged with changing political and social realities. Rather than treating Islamic thought as static or monolithic, this discussion invites us to understand its diverse intellectual traditions and their historical transformations.
