Islam and Modernity Quotes

“Metaphysics, in my understanding, is the unity of knowledge and the meaning and orientation this unity gives to life. If this unity is the unity of knowledge, how can it be all that subjective? It is a faith grounded in knowledge.”
― Fazlur Rahman, Islam and Modernity: Transformation of an Intellectual Tradition (Volume 15)

“If metaphysics enjoys the least freedom from assumed premises, man enjoys the least freedom from metaphysics in that metaphysical beliefs are the most ultimate and pervasively relevant to human attitudes; it is consciously or unconsciously the source of all values and of the meaning we attach to life itself.”
― Fazlur Rahman, Islam and Modernity: Transformation of an Intellectual Tradition (Volume 15)
