| Summary: | The study focuses particularly on Egypt, because this country is central to the elaboration of Islamic political thought. In fact, the conditions for that phenomenon called al-Nahda were born in thius country, in which were also born the first authors who would then lead to political Islām, a theme developed in this research. In fact, the greatest of the first Salafist thinkers, Muhammad ‘Abdū, was the bearer of a neo-Mu‘tazilite and progressive thought, a message which has been betrayed by his disciple Rashīd Rid ˙ ā and even more by a follower of Ridā: the famous Hasan al-Bannā who gave life to the Muslim Brotherhood, the first group of political Islām. And although the Muslim Brotherhood tended to choose a peaceful line a red thread connects them to today’s jihadist organizations. Sayyid Qutb then goes on to embody the ideological link between the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadism with his concept of jāhiliyya, and therefore of takfīr. The evolution of jihadist groups will then follow other paths that are explored here. Lo studio si concentra in particolare sull’Egitto, perché questo Paese è centrale nell’elaborazione del pensiero politico islamico. In effetti, le condizioni per quel fenomeno chiamato al-Nahda sono nate in questo Paese, in cui sono nati anche i primi autori che avrebbero poi condotto all’Islām politico, un tema sviluppato in questa ricerca. In effetti, il più grande dei primi pensatori salafiti, Muhammad ‘Abdū, era il portatore di un pensiero neo-mu‘tazilita e progressista, un messaggio che è stato tradito dal suo discepolo Rashīd Rid ˙ ā e ancor più da un seguace di Ridā: il famoso Hasan al-Bannā che diede vita alla Fratellanza musulmana, il primo gruppo di Islām politico. E sebbene i Fratelli musulmani tendessero a scegliere una linea pacifica, un filo rosso li collega alle organizzazioni jihadiste di oggi. Sayyid Qutb continua poi a incarnare il legame ideologico tra i Fratelli musulmani e il jihadismo con il suo concetto di jāhiliyya, e quindi di takfīr. L’evoluzione dei gruppi jihadisti seguirà quindi altri percorsi che vengono esplorati qui. |
