Al-Shawkaniyya

Wahhabism

Recently, the knowledge authority in unified Yemen raised a slogan that was large in content: Sana'a, the capital of Arab culture. For me, it was only a small slogan in its content that aimed to establish the culture of consumption and declining globalization. There, I had no choice but to search arduously for an Arab publisher that would fulfill the required purpose, without the need to seek permission from the Sultan's cultural chamberlain and his malicious political dictates. God helped me in this endeavor by finding an authentic Arab publisher (Madbouly Library), and its owner, the good Hajj Muhammad Madbouly, who undertook to print this book without prior conditions.

Since that date, I have resolved to prepare the scientific historical material that is the subject of this research, in this year, under this title: Al-Shawkaniyya Wahhabism: A New Trend in Modern Arab Thought. Anyone who reads a chapter of this deteriorating Arab political life in our strange time will certainly face a difficult problem in translating the ideas of those early pioneers who were burned by the fire of the Sultan and the tricks of his entourage. Anyone who examines in particular the works of Sheikh al-Islam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Shawkani, who in turn was a contemporary of the call of the virtuous Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab al-Najdi, will easily discover that Arab thought before and after the era of the modern Arab Renaissance, which has disappeared, still expresses a political and social reality that calls for pessimism more than optimism.
