The political theory of Salafism / Dr. Daniel Lav
Salafism is a theological movement whose radical wing is today affiliated with al-Qāʿida and the Islamic State, but which draws on precedents stretching back to the medieval theology of Ibn Taymiyya. In this book, Daniel Lav details the intellectual grounding for modern salafī theonomy in Ibn Taymiyya's doctrine of tawḥīd, the writings of the early Wahhābī movement, and in premodern salafī jurisprudence, in addition to the twentieth-century thought of Abu al-Aʿlā Mawdūdī and Sayyid Quṭb, while drawing on insights from comparative political theology to analyze this key school of thought.
