Al-Imam: Its Role in Malay Society, 1906–1908

The book is a scholarly study of Al-Imam, a Malay-language periodical published in Singapore between 1906 and 1908 — widely regarded as the founding publication of the Islamic reformist (Kaum Muda) movement in the Malay world. The journal's key figures included Sheikh Tahir Jalaluddin and Syed Sheikh Al-Hadi, and its content drew heavily on the Cairo-based reformist journal Al-Manar, engaging with themes of Islamic reform, ijtihad, and critiques of religious innovation (bid'ah)
