| Summary: | Nineteenth century found various attempt in Kerala to reform Islam with a view to reconciling Islam with modernity. Notwithstanding the influences of reformisms in the larger Islamdom, it was the varying responses towards colonialism that determined the focus and nature of religious reform among the Muslims of the region. The study argues that the ventures of reform by urban based local initiatives showed greater potential for reconciling Islamic religious practices with the ethos and values of modern life. The achievements of Hidayathul Muslimeen Sabha in Manjeri vouch for this. |
