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神圣主权的概念。在圣战萨拉菲主义的分支领域，学者们认为，“神圣主权”的概念是一个现代抽象概念，与前现代伊斯兰传统没有什么联系。与这种说法相反，我的论文认为，圣战萨拉菲主义中的神圣主权从根本上根植于主流的前现代伊斯兰法理学（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，如哈里发和主权（hakimiyya），如何起源于各种各样的前现代伊斯兰传统。

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.
