Description
Summary:Rashid Riḍā's ideas and ideals of the intellectual are to be found pre-eminently in a work serialized in Al-Manār, in 1901, called Muḥāwarāt al-muṣliḥ wa-al-muqallid (The Debates of the Reformer and the Traditionalist) . This work contains much of Riḍā's thinking on religious reform. A very interesting aspect of the work is that it is a work of fiction. It is Riḍā's only experiment with fiction, and its aim is to furnish the reader with a portrait of the model Muslim intellectual. The Muḥāwarāt can be taken as an example of a representation of a decidedly modernist Muslim intellectual whom the readers of Al-Manār are invited to identify with and take as a role model.
