Born in the twilight of Empire, experiencing the chaos of
the sixties and finding his peace in Islam, Ahmed Keeler reflects upon his
journey and calls for a re-evaluation of our past. Whilst scientific progress,
technological development and economic growth have long been the criteria by
which the success of a civilisation has been judged, in his Reflections, Keeler
proposes that the true yardstick for measuring success should be the balance
achieved between the spiritual, social and material needs of humanity; a
balance which makes it possible to live in harmony with nature. When the world
is viewed from this perspective, the failure of modernism becomes evident and
the historical achievement of Islam is revealed.
Ahmed Keeler is currently a Visiting Fellow at the Centre of Islamic Studies, University of Cambridge, and a Distinguished Fellow at The Faculty of Leadership and Management, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia.
