Islamic Reform and Revival in Nineteenth-century India: The Tariqah-I Muhammadiyah

Harlan O. Pearson

4.9/5 (28060 ratings)

Description:The political transition from rule by the Muslim Mughal dynasty to British colonial rule led to a basic religious reorientation among Indian Muslims. At this time of transformation in the early nineteenth century, a key Muslim movement called Tariqah-i Muhammadiyah or Muhammadi movement, also refereed to as the Mujahidin or Indian Wahabi movement, gathered force in Northwest India. Although the Muhammadi reformers gained recognition by waging a jihad (holy war), a much familiar and feared word today, the jihad was only a manifestation of a fundamental change in religious thought and organisation. Using Muhammadi sources as well as the contemporary accounts of the movement by Muslim and British observers, this incisive study makes an important comment on the historical interaction of social and religious forces in the nineteenth century in Indian subcontinent. Pearson’s major contribution in this important volume is to show how the intellectual history associated with Shah Wali Allah was transformed in the nineteenth century to an activist, organised ‘mass movement’ that drew upon techniques and technologies, notably printing and popular preaching, introduced to India by British officials and Christian missionaries.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
