THE SOCIO-POLITICAL THOUGHT OF SHAH WALI ALLAH
The Socio-Political Thought of Shäh Wali Alläh, far from being a study of the subject in isolation, fully reflects this great thinker’s holistic vision of life. Shäh Wali Alläh regards life, with all its facets, as a manifestation of Divine unity. His thought synthesizes revelation, reason and empirical knowledge to construct a universal paradigm that integrates man’s existential concerns with the moral and spiritual purposes of life, blending these seemingly disparate elements into a meaningful whole. The author of this work not only presents an analytical study of Shäh Wali Alläh’s socio-political ideas, but also allows the great sage to speak for himself. He does so by rendering into English significant excerpts pertaining to socio-political matters from •his magnum opus, Hujjat Allah al-Bälighah. “The focus of this volume on social and political aspects of Shäh Wali Alläh’s thought reflects the project of contemporary Muslim scholars and intellectuals of recovering and implementing aspects of the Islamic heritage which can speak to the practical needs of today’s political and social contexts” —Marcia Hermansen, Professor of Religious Studies, Loyola University, Chicago.
