Soft cover. Zustand: New. In this ground-breaking study, sherali tareen offers the most comprehensive account of the longest running dispute in modern Islam: the barelvī deobandī polemic. The barely and deobandī groups are two normative orientations with beginnings in colonial South Asia two hundred years ago, yet their differences haunt the religious sensibilities of South Asian Muslims today. Tareen challenges those who see intra-muslim contest through the prism of liberal-secular binaries like legal/mystical, moderate/extremist, and reformist/traditionalist. He argues that the barelvī deobandī polemic was animated by competing political theologies contrasting visions of the normative relationship between divine sovereignty, prophetic charisma, and the practice of everyday life.
