Divine Sovereignty in Jihadi-Salafist Thought: An Intellectual Genealogy, 1990-2015

我的论文通过对圣战-萨拉菲主义的四个主要支持者的研究来考察圣战-萨拉菲主义中的神圣主权概念。在圣战-萨拉菲主义的分支领域，学者们认为“神圣主权”的概念是一个现代的抽象概念，与前现代的伊斯兰传统几乎没有什么联系。与这种叙述相反，我的论文认为，圣战-萨拉菲主义的神圣主权从根本上植根于主流的、前现代的伊斯兰法理学(FIQH)和神学。以知识谱系研究的形式，我展示了与神圣主权相关的概念，如哈里发国和主权(Hakimiyya)，如何起源于各种前现代伊斯兰传统。

My dissertation examines the concept of divine sovereignty in Jihadi-Salafism through a study of four of its major proponents. In the subfield of Jihadi-Salafism, scholars have argued that the notion of 'divine sovereignty' is a modern abstraction with little connection to the premodern Islamic tradition. Against this narrative, my thesis argues that divine sovereignty in Jihadi-Salafism is, rather, fundamentally embedded in mainstream, premodern Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and theology. In the form of an intellectual genealogical study, I show how conceptions related to divine sovereignty, such as caliphate and sovereignty (hakimiyya), have origins in a diverse range of premodern Islamic traditions.
