Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Wahhabi Mission and Saudi Arabia is a pivotal exploration of Wahhabism, a significant and often controversial interpretation of Islam that originated in the 18th century in Arabia. This insightful book, authored by David Commins, delves into the complexities and implications of Wahhabism, which has been at the center of debates surrounding Islamic extremism and political ideologies.
The significance of Wahhabism in contemporary discussions about Islamic radicalism cannot be overstated. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, various theories attempted to link the ideology of Wahhabism to the actions of Osama Bin Laden and his militant group. However, Commins challenges these interpretations, arguing that such views oversimplify a rich and nuanced tradition. He meticulously examines the evolution of Wahhabism and its role as the official creed of Saudi Arabia, analyzing how it has been perceived both within and outside the Muslim world.
This book is essential for those seeking to understand the dynamics of Wahhabism and its influence on both regional and global scales. Commins presents original findings on the rise of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia and its dissemination to other regions, including Afghanistan and Pakistan. His research offers a comprehensive view of the ideological foundations of Wahhabism, making it indispensable for students, scholars, and anyone passionate about Middle Eastern studies and Islamic thought.
