Michael Kemper, From Bukhara to the Middle Volga: the fight of Abd an-Naşîr al-Qûrşâwî (1 776-1812) against the traditionalist ulemas.
For centuries after the conquest of Kazan by Ivan IV the Terrible, the great medresseh of Bukhara played a leading part in the transmission of Islam in the Volga-Ural region among the Tatar Muslim community that had been enduring incessant christianization campaigns launched by the Russian State. It is most likely from those Bukharan medresseh that, at the turn of the eighteenth-nineteenth century, were propagated the teachings of Ahmad Sirhindî, an Indian reformer of the Naqshbandtyah fraternal order claiming the return to strict obedience to the Qur'ân and sunnah, and opposing against ecstatic sufism its will to restore the Sharřah law. Those teachings had a major impact on the formation and activities of Abd an-Naşîr al-Qûrşâwî, first in Bukhara and then in the Tatar area. His works as a Kazan ulema were thoroughly aimed at restoring ijtihâd (the effort to comprehend the true terms of the Sharicah) and breaking-away from taqlid, i.e. literal imitation of the commentators. In the second part of the nineteenth century, Qûrsâwî 's views were widely circulated throughout Central-Asian Islam by Sihâb ad-Din al-Manani's works. A leading Tatar theologian, the latter remained influential until secularization gained grounds within the Tatar society in the first decades of the twentieth century. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
