| Summary, etc | It is difficult, sometimes even painful, to be a Muslim. In 1826, Rifaa el Tahtawi, a theologian in Cairo, arrived in Paris. His mission was to discover the secret of the scientific prowess of the West and find out if it was possible to reconcile the tenets of Islam with a modern and progressive outlook. By the time he returned to Egypt in 1831, after a thorough study of Western science, military power and jurisprudence, he had come to the conclusion that nothing in the Koran opposed the modernization of the Muslim world. His enlightened analysis led to what is known as the Arab Renaissance , a discernible shift towards modernity and democracy in the Muslim world, which lasted till the 1950s. |
