This book explores the correlation between anti-theological thought and the rise of Islamism in the twentieth century. It focuses specifically on Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and the leadership of Umar al-Tilmisani (d. 1986). In doing so, the sociopolitical implications of anti-theological creedalism and its postcolonial intermarriage with the modern nation-state are analyzed. Ultimately, this study seeks to know whether a revival of Sunni theology, as a rational discourse on religion, can dilute the absolutism of increasingly pervasive Islamist thought in the contemporary Muslim world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51680576930080,"sku":"NEW0230102794","price":96.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71prSaDpKVL_1de1056b-e61c-4e08-a9ff-51920fc60644.jpg?v=1779362159","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/theology-and-creed-in-sunni-islam-the-muslim-brotherhood-asharism-and-political-sunnism-0230102794","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
