" Some Sufis have been famous for their
involvement in jihad, although the 19th-century Sufi and leader of the
early Algerian opposition to French conquest Abd al-Qadir al-Jazairi
famously commented, "The Sufi does not go gladly to jihad. Many of the titles appear in English for the
first time, such as Vincent Cornell's translation of The Way of Abu
Madyan (1996), and Tosum Bayrak's interpretation of the eleventh
century text Sirr al-Asrar by Hadrat Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (The Secret
of Secrets, 1992). In pursuing this more reserved line within the jihad movement,
Hattab claimed the mantel of Abd al-Qadir Shabbuti, a well-known Salafi
and first commander of the AIS, who issued a fatwa that violence should
accord primacy to a military rationale and not target civilians. |
