This work makes the case that fundamental to any Muslim recovery is laying the foundations of sound thinking and values (rooted in the Qur’an and the Sunnah) and developing practical means by which to bring the fruits of that knowledge, whether goals or ideas, into a working arena. In other words for significant change to merge there needs to be an interchange of an effective epistemology with a clear defined action-rooted methodology to help, according to the author, bring to an end the current state of decline. The aims are clearly laid out from the start. Not that valiant effort has not been made in this regard but, according to Malkawi, the approach has been somewhat skewed in the direction of ideas rather than the ways and means to realise and implement them.
