{"product_id":"farahi-school-and-reformist-islam","title":"Farahi School and Reformist Islam","description":"\u003cp\u003eExamining the emergence and development of the \u003ci\u003eFarāhī\u003c\/i\u003e school of thought and its methodology, this book explores the four case studies of stoning, apostasy, hijab, and the return of Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt demonstrates the reforming \u003ci\u003eFarāhī\u003c\/i\u003e approach and divergence from traditional Islamic thought, tracing \u003ci\u003eFarāhī\u003c\/i\u003e scholarship through the years, from Hamiduddin Farahi to Amin Ahsan Islahi and Javed Ahmad Ghamidi. Through the case studies the author analyses \u003ci\u003eFarāhī\u003c\/i\u003e approach to the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and religion. For each case study, he looks at contested areas and critically reviews traditional approaches, evaluating various sources, including the Qur’an, \u003ci\u003eTafsīrs\u003c\/i\u003e from both Sunni and Shia scholars, \u003ci\u003eḤadīths\u003c\/i\u003e, and where applies \u003ci\u003eFiqh\u003c\/i\u003e, before moving on to discussing the \u003ci\u003eFarāhī\u003c\/i\u003e approach, including interviews with Javed Ahmad Ghamidi, the present academic leader of the approach. Each case study ends with comparative analysis, leading to extracting the methodological features of the \u003ci\u003eFarāhī\u003c\/i\u003e school of thought at the end of the book. The book closes with a critical discussion of the methodology of the \u003ci\u003eFarāhī\u003c\/i\u003e school of thought and a summary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Farahi School and Reformist Islam\u003c\/i\u003e is the first academic work to go beyond the \u003ci\u003eFarāhī \u003c\/i\u003eschool’s theory of Qur’anic coherence, aiming to derive its methodological features through original analysis and a case study approach. It will appeal to advanced students and scholars of Islam, particularly those interested in Qur’anic exegesis and Islamic jurisprudence. It will be invaluable for those exploring new or reformist methodologies in deriving rules and concepts from the text, especially the approach of the \u003ci\u003eFarāhī\u003c\/i\u003e school of thought. It will also be of considerable interest to general readers seeking insight into the background and evolving perspectives on any of the case study subjects addressed in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55426945253720,"sku":"9781032813509","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032813509_c63e01fd-7249-4615-94a8-953e0413a262.jpg?v=1770917425","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/farahi-school-and-reformist-islam","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
