One of the issues in contemporary Islamic thought which has
attracted considerable attention amongst Muslim scholars and within
the Muslim community is the valid and appropriate attitude of
Muslims to relationships with non-Muslims. A major source of
confusion and controversy with regards to this relationship comes
from the allegation that Muslims must reserve their love and
loyalty for fellow Muslims, and reject and declare war on the rest
of humanity - most acutely seen through the Islamic concept of
Al-Wala' wal Bara' (WB) translated as "Loyalty and Disavowal",
which appears to be central in the ideology of modern Salafism.This
book investigates the dynamics and complexities of the concept of
WB within modern Salafism and aims to understand the diverse
interpretation of this concept; and how modern Salafis understand
and apply the concept in contemporary religious, social and
political settings. The book discovers that the complexities,
diversities and disputes surrounding the concept in modern Salafism
often revolve around issues of social, political and current
realities.The significance of this book lies in the fact that
comprehending modern Salafis' conception of WB, its realities and
complexities has become an urgent priority in the lives of Muslims
today.
