Sufis Salafis And Islamists

"British Muslim activism has evolved constantly in recent decades. What have been its main groups and how do their leaders compete to attract followers? Which social and religious ideas from abroad are most influential? In this groundbreaking study, Sadek Hamid traces the evolution of Sufi, Salafi and Islamist activist groups in Britain, including The Young Muslims UK, Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Salafi JIMAS organisation and Traditional Islam Network. With reference to second-generation British Muslims especially, he explains how these groups gain and lose support, embrace and reject foreign ideologies, and succeed and fail to provide youth with compelling models of British Muslim identity. Analyzing historical and firsthand community research, Hamid gives a compelling account of the complexity that underlies reductionist media narratives of Islamic activism in Britain."--

Sufis And Salafis In The Contemporary Age

Sufis and Salafis in the Contemporary Age explores the dynamics at play between what are usually understood as two very different forms of Islam, namely Sufism and Salafism. Sufism is commonly understood as the peaceful and mystical dimension of Islam whereas Salafism is perceived as strictly pietistic and moralist, and for some it conjures up images of violent manifestations of Islam. Of course these generalisations require more nuanced investigation, and this book provides a number of case studies from around the Islamic world to unpack the intricate relationship between the two. The diversity of the case studies that focus on Islamic groups in India, Iraq, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey and South East Europe reflect the multiplicity of relationships that exist between the Salafis and Sufis. The specific case studies are framed by an introduction that provides essential historical background and definitions of the terms, and also by general studies of the Sufi–Salafi relationship which enable the reader to focus on the large picture. This will be the first book to investigate the relationship between Sufism and Salafism in such a wide fashion, and includes chapters on "traditional" Sufis, as well as from those who consider that Sufism and Salafism are not necessarily contradictory.

Much of the literature in the field of Islamic Studies concentrates on the contemporary ideological reform movement. Sufism is usually perceived as an historical phenomenon and the literature focuses on the teachings of long-dead masters. However there is a strong case to argue that the dominant mode of Muslim belief and practice is still highly influenced by the Sufi tradition. Sufi orders are still flourishing in most parts of the Muslim world. Rural Muslims, if not actually practising Sufis, often focus their religious life around veneration to deceased saints from the various Sufi orders. This text explores the prevalance of the Sufi traditoin in Briatin. The migration process had brought Muslims to Britain from all over the world. Most of the major tariqas are present in this country and flourishing.

The Borders Of Islam

The Borders Of Islam written by Stig Jarle Hansen and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with History categories.

In The Clash of Civilizations, Samuel Huntington argued that the borders between Western and Islamic civilizations would one day become the loci of cultural conflict. The statements of Osama Bin-Laden would seem to support this view. "This battle is not between al-Qaeda and the U.S.," he famously said in October of 2001. "This is a battle of Muslims against the Global Crusaders." These specially commissioned essays critically examine the virtual and actual borders of Islamic civilization. Contributors concentrate on local dynamics and whether they support or contradict an emerging global confrontation between Islam and its Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and secular neighbors. They consider borders that host Muslim majorities (Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Somalia, Pakistan, and Turkey), those that have significant Muslim minorities (Phillipines, Nigeria, and India), and those that reflect new faultlines created by migration to France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Spain or by advances in technology. Essays explore the rise of international Salafi jihadism and whether it can be traced to countries that straddle the Islamic and non-Islamic world. In conclusion, the contributors argue that mechanisms far more complex than those described in Huntington's Clash of Civilizations influence many border regions, suggesting that, while poverty and institutional failure heighten religious awareness and practice, the actual effects of these phenomena are entirely different.

Islam, the least understood of the worlds great religions, is balanced on a precipice between the past and the future, between fanatical fundamentalists and progressives advocating peace. Noted Islamic authority Michael Wolfe moderates 35 expert speakers, writers, and leaders, including Muhammad Ali and Karen Armstrong, the best-selling author of A History of God and Islam. They discuss the future of Islam, tear down false stereotypes, review the historical realities that have shaped the religion, and examine paradoxes and schisms within the faith. The book includes excerpts from Beliefnet postings.At a time when every Muslim is forced to defend his faith and Americans are curious about Islams basic tenets, this book answers many questions at the same time that it ponders both the danger and promise of the future.

In The Shadow Of Salvation Sufis Salafis And The Project Of Late Islamism In Contemporary Sudan

In The Shadow Of Salvation Sufis Salafis And The Project Of Late Islamism In Contemporary Sudan written by Noah Salomon and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010 with categories.

This dissertation examines the Sudanese experience with the Islamization of the state and its recent reevaluation due both to the critical interventions of Muslim intellectuals and activists and the pressures of peace with the majority non-Muslim south. Its chapters examine Sudan since the coming of the "Revolution of National Salvation" in 1989 through the lens of the ethnographic present, paying particular attention to the most recent process of rethinking Islamic politics at the level of the state, an endeavor I refer to as "the project of late Islamism." The vast majority of reactions to this project have come not in the language of a rejection of Islamic politics or modes of social organization, but rather argue for a reworking of Islamic political theory, ritual praxis, and moral reasoning on a diverse set of foundations, encompassing modernist Islamic reformism, Sufism and various varieties of doctrinally-oriented Salafism. Somewhat unique to Sudan, the individuals who belong to such trends are calling for this revitalization and reform of Islam not in response to growing secularism, lax morals, or westernization, as is the case in most examples of modern Islamic reform and renewal across the Muslim world, but in response to a problematic experience with Islamism. The debates which ensued over the nature of modern Islam and its role in social and political life were an extremely vital mode of public engagement in Sudan at the turn of the new millennium. Understanding how such debates unfolded within arenas as diverse as Islamic political mobilizations, the transmission of Islamic knowledge, the revitalization and reform of Islamic poetic and musical genres, and the lives of individuals struggling over issues of religious subjectivity, is the goal of this dissertation.
