Summary: "The Future of Islam" by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt is a historical account written in the late 19th century, specifically during the early 1880s. The book discusses the political and spiritual landscape of Islam in the context of the early modern period, examining the revival within the Muslim community and its implications for colonial powers like Britain. Blunt aims to bring attention to the rising religious consciousness and reform movements within Islam, as well as the urgency for British policymakers to acknowledge and respond to these changes. The opening of the work presents an introduction and preface from the author, outlining his motivations for writing these essays following a trip to Jeddah and his analysis of the burgeoning Islamic revival. He notes the importance of understanding the numerical and cultural composition of the Muslim world, particularly as it pertains to the pilgrimage to Mecca, or Haj. Blunt emphasizes his observations of the diverse peoples and sects involved in Islam, the political implications of this revival, and the need for the British Empire to engage thoughtfully with the shifting dynamics of the region, drawing upon the historical context of the Caliphate and the role of various sects in shaping the future of Islam.
