Establishing an equilibrium between the Islam of truth and I

Summary

This quote highlights the complexity faced by religious intellectuals in finding a balance between preserving the core teachings of Islam and shaping it as an identity. It suggests that while propagating the "Islam of truth" - the authentic teachings and principles of the religion, there is a simultaneous need to adapt and harmonize it with contemporary societal and cultural wants, thus forming an "Islam as an identity." This requires careful thought, understanding, and intellectual discourse to strike a fine equilibrium that upholds the essential essence of Islam while also allowing it to resonate with its adherents in their daily lives.
