Lecture by Emmanuel PISANI<\/strong><\/a>, during the Second International Congress of PLURIEL in Rome<\/p>\n

The concepts of wala and bara [loyalty\/friendship \u2013 disloyalty\/enmity] have led to the development of a theological doctrine within contemporary Wahhabism that commands a particularist and exclusivist ethic towards the other. Originally developed within Ibadism, it underwent a Sunni formalisation under the pen of Ibn Taymiyya. In contemporary times, in the 1970s and in the context of one of the manifestations of reformism, this doctrine was updated in order to establish the primacy of solidarity based on belonging to the Muslim umma.<\/p>\n

It has led to the rejection of any form of social, cultural, economic or political relations or collaborations with non-Muslims. Under the pen of al-Zawahiri[2], it gave rise to a political doctrine that led to the rejection of the notion of citizenship derived from Western modernity. It is now at the heart of Daesh\u2019s political apparatus. However, a historical look shows that this doctrine had already given rise to a refutation by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who saw in it an innovation (bi’a). The object of our communication will be to restore the theological foundations of the controversy.<\/p>\n

A symptomatic question of the difficulty in Islam in thinking about pluralism, it will also be a question of exposing the arguments advanced by contemporary Muslim thinkers who, like Gamal al-Banna sees this doctrine as a scourge that drives generations of young people into anger and rejection of the non-Muslim.<\/p>\n
