Civilizational Identity, Fragmentation, and Tajdid

A civilizational essay on Muslim identity, historical memory, institutions, and renewal. Its argument, developed through Ibn Khaldun: the modern crisis is not a disappearance of belief, but a weakening of the connective tissue through which creed, knowledge, institutions, production, and collective agency reinforce one another — and the work of tajdid is their peaceful, deliberate rebuilding.
