One of the most prominent Sunni clerics in the Muslim world today,
Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi influences the discourse around matters
central to the Islamic faith and to Islam's relationship with
Western culture. As the spiritual leader of the wasat.iyya
movement, he is the voice of the moderate current in contemporary
Islam. In this volume, Polka explores al-Qaradawi's life and
development as a Muslim scholar and likewise examines the
philosophy of the wasat.iyya movement. In so doing, Polka compares
wasat.iyya to two rival schools of contemporary Islamic
thought-jihadist Salafism and secularliberalism-creating a thorough
analysis of the Islamic tradition. Polka offers abroad panoramic
view of these three trends and their positions on core issues
debated in the Muslim world: Islamic reform, democracy and human
rights, feminism, the concept of jihad, and suicide attacks and the
killing of civilians. Through his writing and preaching,
al-Qaradawi has become the Islamic legal authority for Hamas and
for the current generation of the Muslim Brotherhood but remains a
controversial figure. While his many students admire him as their
spiritual mentor, others have accused him of exploiting his pulpit
and his media stardom in order to promote terrorism and violence
toward both Muslims and non-Muslims. Polka helpfully explores this
duality, providing a much-needed comprehensive analysis of
al-Qaradawi's philosophy and the centrist approach within Islamic
thought.
