Summary/Abstract: Eighty years since their appearance, the Muslim Resolutions of 1941 have not ceased to attract the attention of both professional historians and the wider academic and social public. While some older literature and publicist writing have promoted mostly typical, extra-contextual and emphatically affirmative views on their content, the recent critical historiography has raised many questions about the real substance, meaning and scope of these important historical documents. In this paper, the author seeks to shed light on the broader background of the resolutions, analyzes their content, makes questions about the credibility and sustainability of some of their claims and assesments, deals with the told and unspoken matters in their messages, and portrays the contested views and controversies that have been following the appearance of the Muslim resolutions to the present day.
