Klappentext
This book comparatively examines modern approaches towards the srah genre (biography of Prophet Muhammad). It explores the connection and juxtaposition of the srah genre with the Islamic systematic theology (kalm), particularly since the emergence of Islamic modernism. It sheds light on the interconnectedness of the srah and kalm disciplines as scholarship on srah and prophethood is inherently relevant. The book presents a careful study of the reading and interpretation of the srah genre as penned by Fethullah Gülen from a broad perspective of modern debates and investigates Gülen's approach to srah based on kalm discipline and philosophy of srah. The author argues that reading srah from the perspective of the kalm discipline (kalmisation of srah) is a novel response to modern debates around the life of Prophet Muhammad. Kalmisation of srah together with the notion of srah philosophy is a significant contribution to srah writings in terms of methodology and approach and it is likely to define future trajectories of srah writings. Gülen's contribution is ground-breaking and innovative, paving the way for new perspectives to read and interpret srah in a modern world for a contemporary audience. This book is of interest to scholars and researchers of Islamic studies, religion, religious movements, philosophy of religion, theology and literature.
