Abstract

Over the past 20 years, research on Islamic pacifism, particularly in its post-Islamist branch, has considerably expanded. The recent Islamist violence has compelled many researchers to explore and examine the moral underpinnings of Islamic pacifism. Nevertheless, no research has been conducted on the contribution of the Syrian thinker Khāliṣ Jalabī (born in 1945). Yet, Jalabī's criticism of Islamist violence, his work on the need for societal change, and the requirement of a scientific-historical approach to the Islamic legacy are all very significant and deserve careful consideration. Through a textual analysis and critical engagement, this article studies the promises and limitations of his post-Islamist ethics, especially in the current transformations in Islamic thought.

Abstract

This paper argues that mainstream Muslim schools of thought support multiple loyalties, including country, ethnicity, tribe, and religion. First, we provide a summary of the major positions held by various Muslim schools of thought regarding the concept of al-walāʾ wa-l-barāʾ (loyalty and disavowal). The article then addresses the implications of these loyalties in contemporary Muslim politics. We focus on how these discourses on loyalty construct enemies of Islam and Muslims. Finally, we show how various political factors impact Muslim allegiances and how commitment to Islam can complement and be consistent with civic responsibility in secular and pluralistic democracies, particularly Western societies.
