A Study of the Theoretical Foundations of Salafist Scholars’ Approximate Thoughts by Case Study of Shah Waliollah Dehlavi, Mohammad bin Ali Shokani and Sayyid Mohammad Rashid Reza

Mohammed bin Ali Shokani, Sayyid Mohammad Rashid Reza and Shah Waliollah Dehlavi are three great thinkers from three important geographical areas of the Islamic world, representing the three living and leading trends within the modern Salafism (Yemen’s Salafi equinox, the Egyptian Brotherhood’s approximate Salafia and Egypt). Salafis are responsible for the Indian subcontinent. Studying the theoretical foundations of the ideas of these three worlds, while confirming the Salafist tendencies, shows that their approximation and unifying approach prevail despite their influence on Ibn Taymiyyah. In the field of interpretive foundations, they have departed from the extremist outwardness and acceptance of reasonable interpretation with the ideas of Ibn Taymiyyah and extremist Salafism. In the field of theological principles, by explaining the key concepts of infidelity, faith, monotheism, Shirk and the issue of heresy and tradition, by precisely dividing the disbelievers outside the circle of Islam and the nonbelievers outside the circle of Islam, the ruler of Qiblah Islam and many others Ibn Taymiyyah considered the acts of the Prophet (pbuh) to be an act of Shirkh Asghar and ruled Islam for these people. In the field of jurisprudential principles of approximate ideas, with the purpose of jurisprudence and the necessity of paying attention to the objectives of Shari’a Islamic law, their jurisprudential and ijtihadic principles have been approximated with unity in Islamic society. Emphasis on brotherhood and repentance, respect for one another’s sanctities, boycotts of the Companions, the necessity of affection for the Prophet’s family (pbuh) and attention to their scholarly status, the revival of the duty of the well-known and the prohibition of evil, and the plan The horticultural and leishmaniac problem are the most important social and political foundations of the approximate ideas of these elders that have been studied in this study.
