Khairudin Aljunied revisited Muhammad Asad\u2019s Islam at the Crossroads (1934), reminding us that to understand a text, we must also understand the intellectual and spiritual journey of its author.<br \/><br \/>Key reflections from Prof. Khairudin:<br \/>\ud83d\udd38Beyond binaries: While the young Asad drew a sharp distinction between Islam and the West, his later thought revealed a more nuanced engagement\u2014one that calls for critique grounded in discernment rather than reaction.<br \/><br \/>\ud83d\udd38Beyond nostalgia: Islam is not a refuge in an idealised past, but a living ethos capable of confronting the dilemmas of the present.<br \/><br \/>\ud83d\udd38The active intellect: The Qur\u2019anic worldview demands an engaged mind\u2014open to external knowledge and method, yet rooted in a spiritual and moral centre.<br \/><br \/>The session affirmed that great books are not merely read; they are revisited, questioned, and placed in conversation with the challenges of our own time.<br \/><br \/>\ud83d\udcfa Missed the session?
