Discover a comprehensive study of Wahhabi Islam in "Wahhabi Islam: From Revival and Reform to Global Jihad." Authored by Natana J. DeLong-Bas, this groundbreaking work challenges common stereotypes and misconceptions about Wahhabism, particularly its founder, Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab. Delving into Ibn Abd al-Wahhab's original writings, this book presents a revisionist perspective, portraying him as a voice of reform reflecting mainstream 18th-century Islamic thought. Ibn Abd al-Wahhab's vision of Islamic society promoted peaceful co-existence among different faiths and emphasized a balanced approach to women's rights.
