Born in the twilight of Empire, experiencing the chaos ofthe sixties and finding his peace in Islam, Ahmed Keeler reflects upon hisjourney and calls for a re-evaluation of our past. Whilst scientific progress,technological development and economic growth have long been the criteria bywhich the success of a civilisation has been judged, in his Reflections, Keelerproposes that the true yardstick for measuring success should be the balanceachieved between the spiritual, social and material needs of humanity; abalance which makes it possible to live in harmony with nature. When the worldis viewed from this perspective, the failure of modernism becomes evident andthe historical achievement of Islam is revealed.
