The basis of this examination is the twelfth\/eighteenth century scholar, Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Dardīr, an Egyptian Azharī who wrote highly influential treatises in the disciplines of creedal theology, Mālikī jurisprudence, and taṣawwuf (Sufism). He also occupied a prominent role in the urban life of Cairo, and is accredited with several incidents of intercession with the rulers on behalf of the Cairo populace. This book argues that a useful framework for evaluating the intellectual contributions of post-classical scholars such as al-Dardīr involves the concept of an Islamic discursive tradition, where al-Dardīr's specific contributions were aimed towards preserving, upholding, and maintaining the Islamic tradition, including the intellectual \"sub-traditions\" that came to define it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walead Mohammed Mosaad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1463243804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781463243807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gorgias Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Walead Mohammed Mosaad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076261048575,"sku":"9781463243807","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d02a253-4cb7-47e9-a0c1-fdc97444c598.jpg?v=1685464025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islam-before-modernity-walead-mohammed-mosaad-9781463243807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
