  • Sayyid Qutb's Doctrine of Jāhiliyya

    Open AccessWilliam Shepard, William E ShepardARTICLEInternational Journal Middle East…2003Citada por: 19

    This article focuses on one of the most striking ideas to come out of the radical Islamist movements of recent decades: the doctrine of jāhiliyya presented by the Egyptian activist Sayyid Qutb (1906–66) in his latest writings

  • "Denomination" as a Label for Some Islamic Phenomena

    William Shepard, William E ShepardARTICLENova Religio The Journal of…2002

    This response to Mark Sedgwick's article on "Sects in the Islamic World" focuses specifically on the word "denomination," both for those groups that Sedgwick so labels and for those that I consider might be so labeled. For the Sunni/Shi'i distinction, I do not find the word "denomination" appropriate. Depending on the context, I suggest "division," "establishment," or "religious minority." The label "denomination" can be useful for either tariqas…

  • The Myth of Progress in the Writings of Sayyid Qutb

    William ShepardARTICLEReligion1997Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    The idea or, as I prefer to say, the ‘myth’ of progress has been both accepted and debated in the Western world as an essential component in what we call ‘modernity’. Outside the Western world it has also functioned as one of the most effective weapons in the ideological arsenal supporting Western colonialism and imperialism. This article considers briefly how this myth has been received in the Islamic world and then, at greater length, how it wa…

  • Sayyid Quṭb and Islamic Activism

    William ShepardBOOKSayyid Quṭb and Islamic Activism1996

    This work is a translation of an important book by one of the forerunners of the current "resurgence" of Islam. Its author was a prominent Islamic activist in Egypt in the late 1940s and early 1950s and was jailed and eventually executed for his activities. Today he is commonly viewed as a martyr and his books are widely read. First written in 1948, Social Justice in Islam went through five further editions, each revised in a manner reflecting hi…

  • Muhammad Saʿid al-ʿAshmawi and the Application of the Shariʿa in Egypt

    Open AccessWilliam Shepard, William E ShepardARTICLEInternational Journal Middle East…1996Citada por: 9Referencias: 8

    The rise of a vigorous and sometimes violent Islamist movement in Egypt over the last quarter century has attracted considerable attention from the media and scholars, as have the efforts to control it at the political and police level. Less attention has been given to those who have responded to this challenge at the level of ideological debate and in their writings sought to defend the essentials of the existing system on Islamic grounds. One o…

  • Muslims in New Zealand

    William ShepardARTICLEInstitute of Muslim Minority…1996Citada por: 5Referencias: 1

    Muslims in New Zealand may be viewed from at least two angles. Viewed from New Zealand, they represent a part of the recent immigration that is beginning to change the face of this society from its Maori and Anglo-Celtic past. They are a relatively small part of this movement, but are distinctive and high-profile for various reasons. Viewed from the world outside, they are one of the smallest and most far-flung tentacles of the modern Muslim dias…

    William ShepardARTICLEDie Welt des Islams1992Citada por: 1

    Through both his writings and his example as a martyr, the Egyptian activist and author Sayyid Qutb (d. 1966) has become one of the better known representatives of the more radical tendencies in the contemporary resurgence of Islam. His later writings have been described as a charter for Islamic revolution and a major inspiration for extremist groups such as one responsible for the assassination of Anwar al-Sadat in Egypt.1 Qutb came to his radic…

    William Shepard, William E ShepardARTICLEMiddle Eastern Studies1989Citada por: 6Referencias: 2

    Over thirty years ago Wilfred Cantwell Smith remarked of the influential Indo-Pakistani writer, Sayed Abul Ala Mawdudi, that he 'would appear to be much the most systematic thinker of modem Islam; one might even wonder whether his chief contribution, in the realm of interpretation, has not been for good and ill his transforming of Islam into a system or, perhaps more accurately, his giving expression to a modem tendency so to transform it'.' I be…

    Open AccessWilliam Shepard, William E ShepardARTICLEInternational Journal Middle East…1987Citada por: 27Referencias: 23

    It is probably fair to say of labels such as “fundamentalist,” “modernist,” and “secularist,” which are in common use today in writing about modern Islam, that we cannot live very easily with them, but that we certainly cannot live without them

  • Fundamentalism' Christian and Islamic

    William ShepardARTICLEReligion1987Citada por: 3Referencias: 6

    This article seeks to answer the question whether the term ‘fundamentalism’ is an appropriate label for certain Islamic movements by undertaking a detailed comparison with Protestant Christian fundamentalism, for which the term was originally coined. After an effort to identify and characterize the two phenomena, a number of similarities and differences are discussed. Among the differences is the fact that the most obvious defining characteristic…
