Summary: This book looks at the Epistemological issues in the writings of three modern eminent Indian Muslims and critically examines their work in order to understand their thought on divine revelation and human sources of knowledge. Threatened by the rapid spread of western thought, which endangered the faith of educated young Indian Muslims these writers tried to defend Islam and show that Islam is not against science. A close examination of their work shows that their defense of Islam as rational and scientific religion became counter productive and stagnated their thought. Among the three, Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan alone made a bold attempt to reinterpret revelation quite close to the Muslim philosophers while Abul Kalam Azad and Abu al Ala Mawdudi stayed closer to the traditional Islamic understanding.
