Abstract

The Western worldview posed intellectual, social, economic, and political challenges mainly for different religious representatives, communities, educational institutions, governments, and countries on the one hand; and served as a motivation especially for Muslim scholars to respond to them from the perspective of Islam through their studies presented in seminars, forums, conferences, and writings, on the other. This chapter seeks to present present the intellectual responses towards these challenges in the light of contemporary Muslim studies focusing on religion, civilization, governance, and sustainable development. The main focus of discussion in this chapter is on a brief historical development of contemporary reality; literal and technical meanings of religion; and a brief overview of Muslim studies that contributed to this Book in a form of Chapters.
