Democracy In Islam (Paperback): Sayed Khatab, Gary D. Bouma Democracy In Islam (Paperback)
Sayed Khatab, Gary D. Bouma
R1,499 Discovery Miles 14 990 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Challenging the view of Islamic extremists and critics of Islam, this book explores the very topical issue of Islam s compatibility with democracy. It examines:

  • principles of Islam's political theory and the notion of democracy therein
  • the notion of democracy in medieval and modern Muslim thought
  • Islam and human rights
  • the contribution of Islamic legal ideas to European legal philosophy and law.

The book addresses the pressing need for a systematic show of an Islamic politics of human rights and democracy grounded in the Qur an. The West wonders about Islam and human rights, and its own ability to incorporate Muslim minority communities. Many Muslims also seek to find within Islam support source for democratic governance and human rights.

This new book takes a literary approach in its study of Sayyid Qutb, one of the most significant political thinkers for contemporary Islamists and who has greatly influenced the likes of Osama Bin Laden.

The book sheds light on Islamic radicalism and its origins by presenting new analysis on the intellectual legacy of one of the most important thinkers of the modern Islamic revival.

The Political Thought of Sayyid Qutb - The Theory of Jahiliyyah (Hardcover): Sayed Khatab The Political Thought of Sayyid Qutb - The Theory of Jahiliyyah (Hardcover)
Sayed Khatab
R4,785 Discovery Miles 47 850 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Sayyid Qutb is widely considered an ideologue of the radical Islamist movements in the present world. His writings and, in particular, his theory of jahiliyyah was viewed as a threat to the nationalistic regimes in the Muslim world from Egypt to Tashkent and is now viewed as a threat to the West and America. It is through the prism of jahiliyyah that the radical Islamist movements divide the world to Islamic and jahili camps.
Based on Qutb's own Arabic writings, The Political Thought of Sayyid Qutb explains with others of Qutb's ideas, the force and intent of the Jahiliyyah concept; explores its development until it became a mature confrontational theory. The issues addressed in this book include:
- Philosophical concepts such as sovereignty, servitude, innate, human intellect and the universe
- Modern ideologies including Nationalism, Capitalism, Socialism, Communism and Democracy
- The influence of Qutb's theory on Muslims, Jihad and State
The book sheds light on Islamic radicalism and its intellectual origins by presenting new analysis on the intellectual legacy of one of the most important thinkers of modern Islamic revival. The Political Thought of Sayyid Qutb is essential reading for those with interests in Islam, philosophy and radical Islam.""
