“a timely and highly significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature and purpose of Islamic education … well-substantiated and linguistically sophisticated … This book certainly demands both respect and serious reading and response by educationalists, philosophers, Qur’anic scholars and statisticians, amongst others.” — British Journal of Religious Education, Bill Gent, Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit, UK

“a timely and highly significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature and purpose of Islamic education … well-substantiated and linguistically sophisticated … This book certainly demands both respect and serious reading and response by educationalists, philosophers, Qur’anic scholars and statisticians, amongst others.” — British Journal of Religious Education, Bill Gent, Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit, UK


A serious, original and potentially important contribution to current debates about the purpose and form of Islamic education in the present age. Sheer breadth of vision, as it draws on a range of academic disciplines (including sociology, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, theology, history and educational studies) in the pursuit of its arguments, and combines different research methods including both quantitative and qualitative fieldwork, philosophical analysis and the critical evaluation of a new course of Islamic education. A genuine attempt to wrestle with some of the problems facing Islamic education in the contemporary world.
