| Abstract | "What is Jihadi-Salafism and how does it relate to classical Islam? Scholars of Terrorism Studies argue that 'Jihadism' and Salafism are derivatives of Wahhābism and lie on the ideological margins of the Islamic tradition. This book challenges this narrative, demonstrating that concepts associated with the terms - including 'divine sovereignty', 'jihad' and 'the caliphate' - are utilised by Salafi Ulama in connection with the following disparate classical Islamic traditions: Shāfiʻite legal theory during the Mongol invasions; Ottoman and Indian anti-colonial Ḥanafite thought; Mālikite and Shāfiʻite 'political jurisprudence'; and the literalism of the Yemeni luminary Muḥammad al-Shawkānī (d. 1834)." -- Provided by publisher. |
