Abstract
Abstract This chapter explores neo-traditionalist responses to modern Muslim Salafi reformism, understood here to include both modernists who critiqued traditional scholarship in the name of a return to the principles of a glorious past, perceived in terms of rationality and progress, as well as what is more commonly known today as “purist Salafism.” It addresses reactions to modern conceptions of religious knowledge, authority and pedagogy, prophethood, articulations of creed, legal authority, the role and place of Sufism in Islam, and political theology. Neo-traditionalism, it will be argued, represents simultaneously a Muslim metaphysical conception of divine intervention in history and the tools of human connectivity that seek to maintain and nurture the relation with the divine through the relation with the Prophet Muhammad. Traditionalism has been manifested, additionally, as a critique of modernity in Muslim-majority societies, which arguably brought about an epistemological shift in Muslim thought and practice. Finally, the chapter explores the view emerging in the aftermath of the Arab revolutions, according to which there is a neo-traditionalist proclivity toward authoritarianism.
