Abstract

In The Wahhabis seen through European Eyes (1772-1830) Giovanni Bonacina offers an account of the early reactions in Europe to the rise of the Wahhabi movement in Arabia. Commonly pictured nowadays as a form of Muslim fundamentalism, the Wahhabis appeared to many European witnesses as the creators of a deistic revolution with serious political consequences for the Ottoman ancien regime. They were seen either in the light of contemporary events in France, or as Islamic theological reformers in the mould of Calvin, opposing an established church and devotional traditions. These audacious but fascinating attempts to interpret the unknown by way of the better known are illustrated in Bonacina’s book.

Abstract

Dans cette enquête passionnante, Hamadi Redissi décrit les péripéties d’un triomphe à vaste échelle : celui de l’islam wahhabite, professé et propagé par l’Arabie Saoudite. Le parcours est étonnant : partie de rien ou presque, une alliance théologico-politique inédite, nouée au XVIIIe siècle entre un fondateur religieux et un chef de tribu, va conquérir contre d’autres musulmans une partie de la Péninsule arabique (dont les lieux saints de l’islam), avant d’être écrasée dans le premier quart du XIXe siècle par l’Empire ottoman. Elle parvient pourtant à se reconstituer au XIXe siècle avant de s’imposer au XXe, du Maroc à l’Inde, non plus par le glaive, mais par ses affinités avec le fondamentalisme, par le prosélytisme, l’alliance avec des puissances diverses, arabes et autres (notamment les États-Unis), et aussi l’« argument » du pétrole. Combattu puis réhabilité par l’islam traditionnel, le wahhabisme – puritain, austère, sectaire, conquérant – est ainsi en passe de devenir l’islam majoritaire dans de nombreux pays de tradition musulmane. Le récit, basé sur de nombreuses sources, bourré d’informations inédites, est mené tambour battant. La thèse – polémique – sera discutée, mais elle est fortement argumentée. Un livre essentiel sur le devenir de l’islam au XXIe siècle

Abstract

The Islamic University of Medina was established by the Saudi state in 1961 to provide religious instruction primarily to foreign students. Students would come to Medina for religious education and were then expected to act as missionaries, promoting an understanding of Islam in line with the core tenets of Wahhabism. By the early 2000s, more than 11,000 young men from across the globe had graduated from the Islamic University. Circuits of Faith offers the first examination of the Islamic University and considers the efforts undertaken by Saudi actors and institutions to exert religious influence far beyond the kingdom's borders. Michael Farquhar draws on Arabic sources, including biographical materials, memoirs, syllabi, and back issues of the Islamic University journal, as well as interviews with former staff and students, to explore the institution's history and faculty, the content and style of instruction, and the trajectories and experiences of its students. Countering typical assumptions, Farquhar argues that the project undertaken through the Islamic University amounts to something more complex than just the one-way "export" of Wahhabism. Through transnational networks of students and faculty, this Saudi state-funded religious mission also relies upon, and has in turn been influenced by, far-reaching circulations of persons and ideas.

Abstract

Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (1703-1792) aroused great controversy in his lifetime. More than two centuries after his death, he still elicits strong views. For some he is the model of a pious religious activist who fought to establish a regime of Islamic godliness in the least promising of environments. For others, especially Muslims associated with mystic orders or who belong to the Shi'i branch of Islam, he is a hate figure. Few would contest that he shaped the Muslim world. For over 250 years the Wahhabi movement has rested on the twin pillars of a clear, compelling credo and an indissoluble alliance with temporal power. Absolutist, uncompromising theology and political and religious ambition combined to make it the dominant force in Arabia, turning its champions, the Al Sa'ud clan, from petty rulers of a mid-sized settlement into the guardians of Islam's Holy Places, disposing of the earth's greatest identified oil reserves. This thought-provoking and comprehensive biography, which charts the relationship between religious doctrine, political power, and events on the ground, uncovers the life and thoughts of the man who helped establish the first Saudi state and who began a dynastic alliance that continues to the present day
