Produktinformationen zu „Islam Before Modernity (PDF)“

This book examines the role of tradition and discursive knowledge transmission on the formation of the 'ulama', the learned scholarly class in Islam, and their approach to the articulation of the Islamic disciplines. The basis of this examination is the twelfth/eighteenth century scholar, A¿mad ibn Mu¿ammad al-Dardir, an Egyptian Azhari who wrote highly influential treatises in the disciplines of creedal theology, Maliki jurisprudence, and täawwuf (Sufism). He also occupied a prominent role in the urban life of Cairo, and is accredited with several incidents of intercession with the rulers on behalf of the Cairo populace. This book argues that a useful framework for evaluating the intellectual contributions of post-classical scholars such as al-Dardir involves the concept of an Islamic discursive tradition, where al-Dardir's specific contributions were aimed towards preserving, upholding, and maintaining the Islamic tradition, including the intellectual "sub-traditions" that came to define it.
