Page "Islamic philosophy" Paragraph 56

The tradition of Islamic Philosophy is still very much alive today despite the belief in many Western circles that this tradition ceased after the golden ages of Suhrawardi's Hikmat al-Ishraq ( Illumination Philosophy ) or, at the latest, Mulla Sadra's Hikmat-e-Mota ' aliye or Transcendent ( Exalted ) Philosophy.

Another unavoidable name is Allama Muhammad Iqbal who reshaped and revitalized Islamic philosophy amongst the Muslims of the Indian sub-continent in the early 20th century.

Beside his Urdu and Persian poetical work, The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam is a milestone in the modern political philosophy of Islam.
