Book Description
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'
Author: Mohamed Bin Ali
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 1783263946
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
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.

The Making of Salafism
Author: Henri Lauzière
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231540175
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Some Islamic scholars hold that Salafism is an innovative and rationalist effort at Islamic reform that emerged in the late nineteenth century but gradually disappeared in the mid twentieth. Others argue Salafism is an anti-innovative and antirationalist movement of Islamic purism that dates back to the medieval period yet persists today. Though they contradict each other, both narratives are considered authoritative, making it hard for outsiders to grasp the history of the ideology and its core beliefs. Introducing a third, empirically based genealogy, The Making of Salafism understands the concept as a recent phenomenon projected back onto the past, and it sees its purist evolution as a direct result of decolonization. Henri Lauzière builds his history on the transnational networks of Taqi al-Din al-Hilali (1894–1987), a Moroccan Salafi who, with his associates, participated in the development of Salafism as both a term and a movement. Traveling from Rabat to Mecca, from Calcutta to Berlin, al-Hilali interacted with high-profile Salafi scholars and activists who eventually abandoned Islamic modernism in favor of a more purist approach to Islam. Today, Salafis tend to claim a monopoly on religious truth and freely confront other Muslims on theological and legal issues. Lauzière's pathbreaking history recognizes the social forces behind this purist turn, uncovering the popular origins of what has become a global phenomenon.

This Is Islam
Author: Abu Iyaad
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781644673027
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
There are many shouts and screams-coming from a range of ideological backgrounds-competing for your ears, heart and mind in order to convince you of negative views regarding Isl¿m and Muslims. It would be unfair to accept these ideologically motivated narratives without question and without giving Muslims a chance explain the reality of what they believe in and practice and what Isl¿m means to them. Within this context, the book in your hands is a short primer that provides a brief yet concise introduction to Isl¿m. It discusses Isl¿m's most important foundations, pillars, obligations and major prohibitions and the wisdoms behind them. It also discusses morals and ethics, perfection of character, racism and Isl¿m's position towards extremism and terrorism. Finally, the status of women in Isl¿m and some related misconceptions are also discussed.

Why I Am a Salafi
Author: Michael Muhammad Knight
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1619026317
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The Salafi movement invests supreme Islamic authority in the precedents of the Salaf, the first three generations of Muslims, who represent a “Golden Age” from which all subsequent eras can only decline. In Why I Am a Salafi, Michael Muhammad Knight confronts the problem of origins, questioning the possibility of accessing pure Islam through its canonical texts. Why I Am a Salafi is also a confrontation of Knight’s own origins as a Muslim. Reconsidering Salafism, Knight explores the historical processes that informed Islam as he once knew it, having converted to a Salafi vision of Islam in 1994. In the decades since, he has drifted away from Salafism in favor of an alternative Islam that celebrates the freaks, misfits, and heretical innovators. What happens to Islam when everything’s up for grabs, and can an anything-goes Islam allow space for reputedly intolerant Salafism? In Why I Am a Salafi, Knight explores not only Salafism’s valorization of the origins, but takes the Salafi project further than its advocates are willing to go, and reflects upon the consequences of surrendering the origins forever.
