	M. Yahya Birt: "The Message of Fazlur Rahman" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Fazlur Rahman is perfectly prepared to defend a modernist conception of history in terms of his role as a professional historian, as well as that of a devout believer.
		Fazlur Rahman accepts the adage common to most Qur’anic commentators that although an injunction might have been occasioned by a certain situation, it is nevertheless universal in its general application (1982:17); with the proviso that this always meant in principle rather than in terms of the literal wording.
		Fazlur Rahman wants to make a distinction between the meaning of a proposition that can be understood to be universally true, even if it is reported to one who has no had direct experience of it; and the understanding of the meaning of a proposition which may not be universally understood.

	Asia Times - Suspicion and skepticism
		Fazlur Rahman is widely considered to be one of the primary backers of the Taliban, is known to have played a vital role in its creation, and remained intimately linked with both Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden throughout the period of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
		Rahman, who is also secretary-general of the six-party Islamist fundamentalist alliance, the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA)), indicated that the objective of his visit to India was to create a "congenial atmosphere" between India and Pakistan and to force the "rulers" of both countries to resolve their disputes peacefully.
		Rahman's extremist organizational infrastructure in Pakistan remains intact; the various terrorist groups associated with him remain committed to their agenda; the political formations he is associated with remain steadfast in a fundamentalist, pan-Islamist and deeply violent worldview.

	Fazlur Rahman dan Gerakan Pembaharuan -- Minggu, 4 Februari 2001
		Fazlur Rahman-lahir tahun 1919 di Pakistan dan meninggal tahun 1988 di Chicago-sebagaimana para pemikir muslim abad ke-20 lainnya, mengarahkan perhatian pada fenomena modernisasi dan perubahan dunia yang dipahami dalam dunia Islam sebagai janus-faced (berwajah ganda, seperti wajah Dewa Janus).
		Fazlur Rahman dan lain-lain yang sealiran menganggap, penolakan itu sebagai langkah "membabi-buta" yang hanya akan merugikan, di mana masyarakat muslim akan semakin tertinggal di belakang masyarakat kontemporer lain yang telah menjadi penguasa di bidang ekonomi, politik, dan ilmu pengetahuan.
		Akhirnya, penghargaan tinggi patut ditujukan kepada pemikir satu ini, sebab harus diakui-terlepas dari pro-kontra terhadapnya Fazlur Rahman telah melengkapi khasanah intelektual Islam dengan satu sikap pasti terhadap pembaharuan ke arah yang lebih baik.
