Ziauddin Sardar

duimnael|Ziauddin Sardar in 2013.
**Ziauddin Sardar** (Dipalpur, Noord-Pakistan, 31 Oktober 1951) is een van Brittanje se voorste Moslem-intellektuele en het meer as veertig boeke oor wetenskap, godsdiens en kultuur gepubliseer.

As 'n jong seun het Sardar na Brittanje geëmigreer. Daar het hy later fisika en rekenaarwetenskap aan die Stad-universiteit, Londen, gestudeer. In 1975 het hy 'n simulasiemodel vir die pelgrimstog vir die Hajj-navorsingsentrum aan die King Abdul Aziz Universiteit in Jeddah ontwikkel. Hy het ook as joernalis (onder andere vir *Nature* en *New Scientist*) en as televisieverslaggewer gewerk. Tans is Sardar redakteur van die tydskrif *Futures*, publiseer gereeld in die *New Statesman*, en is 'n besoekende dosent in Postkoloniale Studies aan die Stad-universiteit, Londen.

In sy boek, "*Rescuing All Our Futures*," kritiseer hy die eensydige Westerse siening van globale ontwikkeling en dring hy daarop aan dat die res van die wêreld aktief werk aan 'n toekoms wat nie-Westerse waardes in ag neem.

In sy outobiografiese roman, *Paradise Desperately Sought*, beskryf Sardar sy soeke na die ideaal van Islam. Nadat hy met Osama bin Laden in Pakistan ontmoet het, het Sardar toenemend getwyfel aan die klaargemaakte oplossings van fundamentaliste wat verlossing verwag van 'n Islamitiese staat gebaseer op Sjaria -wetgewing. "Dis tyd om die beginsels van Islam te heroorweeg. Ek het die veranderinge gesien. Selfs onder die mees konserwatiewe denkers begin lig skyn."
