In our era where trials and tribulations have increased, partisanship and fanaticism towards particular ideologues have reached their pinnacle, and with the emergence of pseudo-scholars and ‘academicians’ calling for the reinterpretation of the Qur’ān and Sunnah, it was indispensable to reinstitute the forgotten, yet important, as well as decisive principle: ‘fahm as-salaf’ (the understanding of salaf). This book primarily explores the epistemology of ‘fahm as-salaf’; its reality, its meaning, its importance, its maxims, and finally, its authority in Islamic law, cementing it with the statements from the elite Imāms. The book also discusses the concepts of manhaj and madhhab, the differences between them, how they are determined, and who determines them.
Roots Of Religious Extremism, The: Understanding The Salafi Doctrine Of Al-wala' Wal Bara'
One of the issues in contemporary Islamic thought which has attracted considerable attention amongst Muslim scholars and within the Muslim community is the valid and appropriate attitude of Muslims to relationships with non-Muslims. A major source of confusion and controversy with regards to this relationship comes from the allegation that Muslims must reserve their love and loyalty for fellow Muslims, and reject and declare war on the rest of humanity — most acutely seen through the Islamic concept of Al-Wala' wal Bara' (WB) translated as “Loyalty and Disavowal”, which appears to be central in the ideology of modern Salafism.This book investigates the dynamics and complexities of the concept of WB within modern Salafism and aims to understand the diverse interpretation of this concept; and how modern Salafis understand and apply the concept in contemporary religious, social and political settings. The book discovers that the complexities, diversities and disputes surrounding the concept in modern Salafism often revolve around issues of social, political and current realities.The significance of this book lies in the fact that comprehending modern Salafis' conception of WB, its realities and complexities has become an urgent priority in the lives of Muslims today.
Understanding Salafism
The Salafi movement invokes fear and dread in outsiders who treat Salafism as synonymous with religious extremism. For Salafis themselves, it’s a jealously guarded title, always in danger of dilution. Salafism has changed the face of Islam; its ideas reach far outside its own ranks. Yet popular portrayals never go beyond hackneyed stereotypes. In Understanding Salafism, Dr Yasir Qadhi delves into the origins of the movement, from the earliest debates in Islam to Salafism today, in both the Western and Islamic worlds. In an analysis covering Salafism in the Middle East, Europe, the United States and Africa, he illuminates Salafism’s theological ideas, the debates within Salafism about political participation, and its relationship to other schools in Sunni Islam. ----- Table of Contents List of Figures Preface Conventions 1 Introduction: A Bird’s Eye View of Salafism 2 A Comprehensive History of Salafi Thought: From its Origins to Modernity 3 Wahhabism and Salafism 4 Salafism and Islamism: A Case Study of the Muslim Brotherhood 5 The Phenomenon of Jihadi-Salafism 6 Global Salafism in the Contemporary World Epilogue Notes Bibliography Index
