AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Morocco World News, in a recent analysis, examined the impact of modernity on Muslim societies, stressing that dimensions such as industrialization, rationalism, and globalization have introduced both opportunities and challenges for Muslims.
The report highlighted diverse intellectual approaches ranging from “modern Islam” to “neo-modernism,” noting that modernity does not necessarily mean abandoning tradition. Instead, it argued that through rethinking and reinterpretation, modernity can help revive religious and moral values.
Key themes addressed in the analysis include the evolution of Islamic jurisprudence based on Islamic modernity, the emphasis on ethics beyond legal frameworks, the role of women in intellectual discourse, and the growing use of digital technologies in the dissemination and teaching of Islamic knowledge.
According to the author, the Islamic world faces three options: repeating tradition, rejecting it entirely, or engaging in creative reinterpretation. He underlined that only a wise and context-based re-reading of tradition can provide a path to sustaining and strengthening religious identity in the modern era.
