Islam and God-Centricity: Reassessing Fundamental Theological Assumptions is the second book in a multi-volume series. In this volume, an essential feature of Prophet Müammad's message of God-centricity is propounded, namely the spirit of sincere inquiry and continual learning. This feature is quintessentially the definition of what it is to be human. The history of humanity has been punctuated by waves of progression and regression, both of which are the effects of either the presence or absence of the spirit of sincere inquiry and continual learning within individuals, communities and societies. Today, there is no facet of life in which this spirit is lacking more than in the realm of religion. Paradoxically, Prophet Müammad taught that genuine inquiry in every aspect of life is intrinsic to the Godly life - it is inherent in the process of becoming God-conscious (muttaq¿). Fundamental to this process is the questioning of theological assumptions of religion that prevail in the culture that one is born into. This book endeavours to convey the necessity for every Muslim today to initiate sincere religious inquiry and to take the reader through an analysis of current prevailing Muslim theological assumptions.
