Críticas:

"This humane book is very well conceived and makes real progress towards achieving the laudable goals it advocates... each chapter plays an effective role in explaining the decline and, therefore, conceiving of ways to achieve reform." Prof Robert Whaples. "Dr Chapra's endeavour is outstanding, no less for its extremely ambitious goal) to explain the great historical mystery of why and how Muslims declined) than for its admirable actual achievement... He has provided a coherent framework for analysis and reform for all those concerned with the Ummah revival and development." Prof Anas Zarqa "Dr Chapra has chosen a subject of such relevance and importance respectively that one wonders why nobody else has dealt with it in book form before. (He) asks questions that most Muslims ask, while shying away from answering them." Dr Wilfried Hofmann"

Reseña del editor:

Muslim Civilization has experienced an overall decline during the last five centuries after having undergone a long period of prosperity and comprehensive development. This raises a number of questions such as what factors enabled Muslims to become successful during the earlier centuries of Islam and what lead them to their present weak position. Is it Islam which is responsible for this decline or are there some other factors which come into play? Dr Chapra in this penetrating study has tried to answer these questions thoroughly and has then discussed a reform programme that could help reverse the cycle of decline.
