https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TydR... In this lecture from the Modernity/Coloniality series, Dr. Rasheed Arshad engages with the important work “Ulama wa Musliheen-e-Ummat aur Unke Fitne” by Maulana Syed Muhammad Yusuf Banuri, offering a critical reflection on the role of scholars and reformers in the modern age. The session explores how certain reformist trends, under the influence of modernity and colonial pressures, led to intellectual and religious deviations, creating confusion within the Muslim intellectual tradition. Drawing on Banuri’s insights, the lecture highlights the delicate balance between reform and preservation, and the risks involved when religious authority is reshaped without grounding in classical scholarship. The discussion also examines the concept of fitna in this context—referring to the trials and disruptions that arise when reform movements depart from authentic tradition, often unintentionally contributing to fragmentation and misguidance. This lecture is especially beneficial for those interested in Islamic scholarship, reform movements, and the intellectual challenges faced by the Muslim world in the modern period. #Modernity #Coloniality #YusufBanuri #IslamicScholarship #ReformMovements #Ulama #IntellectualCrisis #DrRasheedArshad #TraditionVsModernity
