This book provides an overview of the theological views on takfir
in classical and medieval Islamic thought, explores the Islamic
context of the concept, and considers the following questions: In
what context does the term appear in the Qur'an and hadiths (the
sayings of the Prophet Muhammad)? In what circumstances did Muslim
theologians engage in takfir, and what were the social, religious,
theological, and political implications on the society? How did the
meaning of takfir evolve in classical and later Islamic theology,
and what justifications did prominent medieval Muslim theologians
and jurists provide for declaring other Muslims kuffar? This book
attempts to demonstrate how takfir has evolved throughout the
centuries from being a term used to condemn (and warn against)
unacceptable actions to a term used on individuals and communities
to strip them of their belief, dignity, and linkage to the Divine
(i.e., declaring them unbelievers). This book also attempts to shed
the light on how the theological discourse on takfir in classical
and medieval Islam has made its impact on twentieth- and
twenty-first century groups.
