This paper presents an overview of Syed Ameer Ali’s perspectives on the causes behind the rise and decline of classical Islamic civilization. It further examines several of his key liberal-rational ideas, focusing on three main topics: (i) polygamy in Islam, (ii) slavery in Islam, and (iii) eschatological life in Islam. To provide context, this study begins with a brief biographical account of Syed Ameer Ali before delving into his intellectual contributions.
