Karen Armstrong Quotes
But There Were Ulama Who Refused To Accept The Closing Of The "gates Of Ijtihad." Throughout Islamic History, At Times Of Great Political Crisis - Especially During A Period Of Foreign Encroachment - A Reformer (mujdadid) Would Often Renew The Faith So That It Could Meet The New Conditions. These Reforms Usually Followed A Similar Pattern. They Were Conservative, Since They Attempted To Go Back To Basics Rather Than Create An Entirely New Solution. But In This Desire To Return To The Pristine Islam Of The Quran And Sunnah, The Reformers Were Often Iconoclastic In Sweeping Away Later Medieval Developments That Had Come To Be Considered Sacred. They Were Also Suspicious Of Foreign Influence, And Alien Accretions, Which Had Corrupted What They Saw As The Purity Of The Faith. This Type Of Reformer Would Become A Feature Of Muslim Society. Many Of The People Who Are Called "Muslim Fundamentalists" In Our Own Day Correspond Exactly To The Old Pattern Set By The Mujdadids.
