Wahhabi Islam : From Revival & Reform to Global Jihad

By Natana J. DeLong-Bas

Published: 2004

Pages:384 HC

Pages:28.000 JD

In the first study ever undertaken of the writings of Wahhabism’s founder, Muhammad Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab, Natan DeLong-Bas shatters these stereotypes & misconceptions. Her reading of Ibn Abd al- Wahhab’s works produces a revisionist

thesis: He was not the godfather of contemporary terrorist movements. Rather, he was a voice of reform reflecting mainstream eighteenth-century Islamic thought. His vision of Islamic society was based upon monotheism in which Muslims, Christians, and Jews were to enjoy peaceful co-existence & cooperative commercial treaty relations.
In this most comprehensive study of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab’s interpretation of Jihad ever written, DeLong-Bas details a vision in which Jihad is strictly limited to self-defense of the Muslim community against military aggression.
Contemporary extremists like Osama Bin Laden do not have their origins in Wahhabism, she shows.
