Abstract
Abstract This chapter questions the identification of the modern Islamic reformer Muḥammad ʿAbduh (d. 1323/1905) with the Salafi movement, situating him instead in the capaciousness of Islamic intellectual traditions. Engaging a comprehensive discussion of his intellectual legacy, the chapter argues that ʿAbduh’s early intellectual formations, particularly in Sufism, were critical to developing his approach to Islamic reform and communicating his ideas to different audiences. ʿAbduh’s later writings are shown to re-articulate earlier ideas but in stronger alignment with Sunni notions of orthodoxy. ʿAbduh’s engagement with and synthesis of a variety of intellectual traditions was designed to show that Islam can find its place in the modern world both culturally and intellectually. His work helped to shape the discourses of a broad spectrum of reform figures throughout the Muslim world, including Islamists, liberals and feminists. This chapter contributes to an understanding of this important nineteenth-century Muslim reformer and suggests a pathway to study modern Islamic reform that avoids categorizations of orthodoxy and heterodoxy within Islam.
