This thesis discusses the defining of "Sunnī orthodoxy" (The Arabic term is Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jamāʻa.) of two contemporary authorities of the Shādhilī Ṣūfī Order, one of the most important Ṣūfī orders in the Muslim world. Special attention is given to the analysis of their understanding of Islamic Theology, Law and Sufism. The first scholar is Shaykh Ali Gomaa, the previous Grand Mufti of Egypt. The second scholar is his student, Shaykh ʻAbd al-Qādir al-Ḥusayn. The thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter discusses the history and teachings of the Shādhilī Ṣūfī Order in general. The second chapter describes and analyses the defining and understanding of the "Sunnī orthodoxy" of Shaykh Ali Gomaa. The third chapter describes and analyses the defining and understanding of "Sunnī orthodoxy" of Shaykh ʻAbd al-Qādir al-Ḥusayn. The thesis is methodologically based on analysis and interpretation of important mediaeval and contemporary Shādhilī works, including recorded lectures, sermons, interviews etc. Interaction with pertinent academic literature also forms a crucial component of the research.

A discourse analysis of popular preacher mufti Isma'il Menk
Vrbová, Markéta ; Ťupek, Pavel (advisor) ; Rumpl, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the current popular Islamic thinker Mufti Menk. Mufti Menk has millions of followers across his social media accounts that he uses as the main platforms when spreading his thoughts. He is popular mainly among young Muslims, but his influence extends to a significant number of non-Muslims as well. The aim of the thesis is to analyze Menk through the evaluation of his social and political ties, his overall attitude towards politics, and the controversies that surround him. The thesis also analyzes the topics he addresses on his social media and thus outlines the main ideas he is trying to spread among his target group and what these ideas say about him. Mufti Menk is sometimes seen as a Salafi. This is probably due to his connection to the Islamic University of Madinah, ties to other Salafis, and some of his views. Drawing upon the findings of this thesis, the author will also briefly evaluate how strong Menk's connection to Salafism is.

Pneumatology is one of the main themes of Didymus, but the only existing treatise, which is directly dedicated to this theme and we are sure of his authorship, is On the Holy Spirit, This treatise, possibly the historicaly first of its kind, thus represents the the focus of this thesis. It has been preserved only in Latin translation of Jerome which renders the Greek text and Didymus' original teachings complicated to fully recover. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to Didymus life and work. It presents his formation, studies, methods of teaching in the framework of Alexandrian catechetist school, theological and exegetical activities, his ascetic attitude to life, and his condemnation after his death in the framework of anti-origenist struggle. Then the Didymus writings are then devided into dogmatic and exegetical works, the latter of which was enriched by the finds of codexes in Egyptian Tura in 1941. The discovered works became new impulse to the study Didymus' teachings and methods. The second part of the thesis then deals with triadological disputes during the 4th century, with a stress on...

This bachelor's thesis is dedicated to understanding of themes of the Christian spirituality and the Coptic identity in the novels H̱ālatī Ṣafīya wa-ad-dayr (My Aunt Ṣafiyya and the Monastery, 1991) and Ḥiǧārat Būbillū (Stones of Apollo, 1993) by two important Egyptian authors Bahā' Ṭāhir and Idwār al-Kharrāṭ. By means of textual analysis of the two novels, the thesis analyses the significance of space and place in the narrative construction, the use of the Christian symbolics in the description of the Coptic community and a possibility of literary fiction extending into to the real world and its impact on the formation of the Coptic culture.
