Description

“Islamic Philosophy of Life” is an intellectual tour de force by the world-renowned scholar and economist Professor Khurshid Ahmad. In this seminal work, Prof Khurshid articulates the core of the Islamic “Paradigm,” presenting it as a rational, ethical, and spiritual alternative to the dominant materialist philosophies of the modern world.

Rather than focusing solely on legalistic interpretations, this book explores the Metaphysics of Islam—the relationship between the Creator, the human being, and the universe. It provides a structured framework for understanding how an Islamic “Philosophy of Life” dictates our approach to politics, economics, and social reform.

Core Pillars Explored:

Tawhid (Oneness): The philosophical foundation of unity in purpose, thought, and action.
Khilafah (Vicegerency): Defining the role of the human being as a trustee of the Earth.
Adl (Justice): The central importance of social and economic equity in the Islamic system.
Rizq and Work: Transforming mundane activities into acts of worship through correct intention and ethics.
Balance (Mizan): Finding the middle path between extreme asceticism and unbridled consumerism.

Why This Book is Essential: For researchers, students of Comparative Philosophy, and those involved in Islamic Revivalism, this book offers the terminological precision needed to engage with Western philosophical challenges from an authentic Islamic standpoint.
