Works by Jafar Subhani

Subhani’s exploration of these rituals invites practitioners to engage with them on a deeper level. When one reflects on the act of mourning for Imam Hussein, for instance, the question arises: Do these expressions of grief serve only as commemorative events, or do they, more profoundly, act as catalysts for social justice and reform within the Ummah? Subhani posits that rituals are formative experiences that crystallize individual and collective identities.

4. Engagement with Contemporary Issues

Subhani does not hesitate to tackle contemporary challenges facing the Muslim community, such as interfaith dialogue, modernity, and ethical dilemmas in the light of technological advancement. His analytical prowess manifests in texts like “Islam and Science,” where he navigates the intersections of faith and empirical inquiry. Here, he challenges the prevailing notion that religious belief stands in opposition to scientific understanding.
