The concept of "Sunni orthodoxy" through the prism of two contemporary Shadhili Sufi authorities
Dembický, Kristián ; Ťupek, Pavel (advisor) ; Rumpl, Jakub (referee)
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.
The Shādhilī Sūfī Order as an integral part of Classical Sunnī Orthodoxy
Dembický, Kristián ; Ostřanský, Bronislav (advisor) ; Ťupek, Pavel (referee)
This thesis studies the self-presentation of the Shādhilī Ṣūfī Order and also defines key terms as "Classical Sunnī Orthodoxy" or "Sufism." The Shādhilī Ṣūfī Order is one of the most widespread and influential Ṣūfī Orders in the world, and among the followers of this order are many very influential scholars of the Classical Sunnī Orthodoxy, which is the dominant form of Sunnī Islām throughout history. Methodologically, the thesis is built on analysis, comparison and interpretation of the collected primary and secondary sources. The hypothesis of this work says that the Shādhilī scholars present their order as an integral part of Classical Sunnī Orthodoxy. This hypothesis was verified through analysis, comparison and interpretation of relevant works of two important Shādhilī scholars - Imām al-Suyūṭī and Shaykh Ali Gomaa - and it was largely proven to be correct. This thesis also discusses the importance and interconnectedness of the classical Islamic religious sciences - such as Theology, Law, Sufism etc.
