Abstract

From the 60s of the 20th century, the works of Sayyid Quṭb have enormous influence on the thought of Muslim youths and Islamists. The core message of his works is establishing the supremacy of Islamic law in all facets of life and outright condemnation of the subsisting order of the day concerning the political and socio-economic operations in Muslim nations. The effect of his thoughts on Muslim youths is visible in the resurrection of Islamists who have become a thorn in the flesh of political dictators and autocratic monarchs in Arabia. As part of efforts to neutralize the effects of Quṭb’s works on the ever-increasing Muslim youths in Saudi particularly and the Muslim world at large, Rabi’u Madkhali, a senior Salafi diehard with much influence in Madinah, kickstarted the project of refuting what he termed as "theological deviations” and “rebellious approach” in Quṭb’s thoughts. His works have given birth to a large number of Muslim youths who dedicate an extraordinary commitment to pathological hatred for Quṭb, his works, associates, and students. This article aims to criticize some submissions of Madkhali on Quṭb’s thought. The article which is library-based adopts an analytical method of research. Two issues, which include law enactment in a Muslim state and the abolition of the slavery system, are selected. The paper found that Madkhali’s refutations are highly characterized by accusations that need unequivocal proof, misinterpretation of Quṭb’s statements, and emotional submissions. It recommends further investigation into other Madkhali’s refutation of Sayyid Quṭb.

Abstract

Ijtihād , which is the utilization of a Muslim jurist’s sense of reasoning to determine the legal status of an action under the Shari’ah, has played a major role in widening the scope of Islamic law and in making it responsive to the unending human problems and needs. The aspect of succession in Islam has been a discipline, which common Muslims have always believed that its content has been fully addressed by the texts in exclusion of juristic polemics. Hence, the current study aims to assert the role of Ijtihād in the subject, using waṣiyyat wājibah (compulsory will) as a case study. The study adopts a qualitative method in reaching its submissions. It discovers that Ijtihād has played a major role in the development of mirath across ages. It also asserts that waṣiyyat wājibah is a product of both neo-Ijtihād and collective Ijtihād which is prone to further assessment of its validation, particularly in regions which do not share same experience with the Arabo-Muslim nations where it is legislated. The study recommends further research into how Ijtihād has developed the contents of mirath.

Abstract

The modern Islamic thoughts are essentially influenced by transnational Islamic movements with their diverse inclinations. Such an influence wielded by these movements differs from one location to another. Against this backdrop, this paper studies the influence on Muslims in Yorubaland of Nigeria, with specific focus on religious polemics introduced by the advent of these movements in the region under study. Descriptive method of research was adopted. The study shows that though there are different transnational movements in Yorubaland, the most controversial and popular in contemporary time are the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafiyyah groups. The religious polemics evoked by the advent of the transnational Islamic movements in the region under study include the religious controversy between the traditional Muslims and adherents of these movements as well as the polemics that exist among the various movements against one another. The study recommends display of high level of ethics of disagreements among the traditional and the revivalist Muslims in Yorubaland as well as statutory regulation of religious practice by the concerned authorities in order to forestall the turning of religious polemics to physical crisis in the region.
