Reopening Muslim Minds

Reopening Muslim Minds by Mustafa Akyol explores Islam’s rich intellectual history and argues for a modern “Islamic Enlightenment.” Blending theology, history, and personal insight, Akyol shows how values like freedom, reason, tolerance, and science once thrived in Islamic thought. Drawing on thinkers such as Ibn Rushd, he calls for reviving these traditions to address today’s challenges and envision a more open, hopeful future for Islam.
