Summary/Abstract: Professor Tariq Ramadan was born in 1962 in Switzerland. He is the grandson of the founder of the movement “Muslim Brotherhood” Hassan al-Banna. He is one of the most important Islamic intellectuals of today. He has published several books and articles on Muslims and secularism, the challenges of modernity, Muslims in Europe, tolerance, freedom and other issues. The following works were translated into the Bosnian language: To Be a European Muslim: a Study of Islamic Sources in the European Context (2002), Euro-American Muslims and the Future of Islam (2007), In the Footsteps of the Prophet, Lessons from the life of Muhammad (2010), Radical Reform: Islamic Ethics and Liberation (2011). In this paper we will explore the reform of Islam in the way that Tariq Ramadan interprets it. We will get to know the difference between adaptational and transformational reform, as well as the methods and ways in which Ramadan imagines a radical reform. We will also get acquainted with the way in which the reform is defined, what it represents, and in which areas this reform is possible.
