Modernization in the Islamic Forms of Devotion? (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Modernization in the Islamic Forms of Devotion?
Book in terms most unequivocal. The statements are always consistent in meaning; they never admit of two interpretations, and their rendering has been one and the same with every shade of opinion.
In ancient religions ritualistic piety has always bulked large. In Hinduism, as in Judaism, it is part and parcel of the whole faith Christianity, though it denuded itself of Jewish ceremonialism, nevertheless fell a hopeless victim to Pagan ritual. The Romish and the High Church section of the Church of England present a very good illustration of this. But Islam has almost entirely dispensed with such piety, if piety it can honestly be called.' No doubt there is a shade of formalism to be found in some of our institutions, but it is essential-as, for example, in the case of the gestures that we observe while in the act of prayer. These indicate certain conditions of mind.
