Produktbeschreibung
This volume presents one of the most influential yet often misunderstood figures in Islamic thought-Shah Waliullah of Delhi. Through a careful and detailed narrative, it shows how he worked to bridge tradition and reason, text and context, while navigating the complex political and social conditions of twelfth-century India. Shah Waliullah's role was not limited to scholarship. His efforts included reviving hadith sciences, reconciling legal schools, and explaining the wisdom behind the Shari'ah-all with the aim of guiding Muslims through a time of fragmentation. His writings and teachings emphasized the interconnectedness of transmitted knowledge and rational inquiry, an approach that continues to hold relevance for today's readers. With attention to his political insight and social awareness, this book also explores his attempts to preserve the Muslim identity during a period of intense upheaval. The volume examines not only Shah Waliullah himself but also his family, students, and their lasting contributions. For readers interested in Islamic reform, Indo-Islamic history, and the enduring balance between scholarship and activism, this work offers a grounded and engaging study of a legacy that still shapes the religious landscape of the subcontinent. Essential reading for scholars, educators, and anyone concerned with the evolution of Islamic thought and guidance in turbulent times.
