Description
Wahhabi Islam: From Revival and Reform to Global Jihad by Natana J. DeLong-Bas offers a carefully researched and revisionist examination of Wahhabism, challenging widespread stereotypes surrounding Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab and his teachings. Drawing directly from original writings, the author presents Wahhabism as a reform movement rooted in mainstream eighteenth-century Islamic thought rather than extremism. The book explores themes such as peaceful coexistence with other faiths, women’s rights within Islamic law, and the strictly defensive understanding of jihad—contrasting sharply with modern militant interpretations. This authoritative work is essential reading for students, scholars, and readers seeking a deeper, more balanced understanding of Wahhabi Islam and its historical development.
