Abstract

Religion is generally said to be stagnant. Changes in the religious approaches are not possible or desirable according to one school of thought. But there is also the other school of thought which encourages changes in religious approaches. That is, for some, religion is dogmatic and for some others it is pragmatic. This is how religious conflicts arise. Islam is the youngest religion and it is generally dogmatic as Mullahs are firm not to allow any changes in religious matters. But the liberals among  Muslims hold a different Islam has to move with the changes in the society. But they take a cautious stand that what is fundamental, what is the core aspect of religion could remain un-changed. Wherever there is scope for changes, there is no harm in welcoming changes.
