This book deals with the problems faced by Muslims in the post-modern situation. In other words, the essays given here deals with the changes taking place around us and to help theology to make changes more acceptable. All may not agree with all that is said here nor is it necessary to agree. What is important is to raise questions, not necessarily to agree with answers. Questions encourage us to think afresh. To submit without thinking is not faith, it is escape from faith. This is precisely what the readers will find here.
