Muhammad Baqer as-Sadr and Islamic banking -- Conclusion: The costs of renewal. 330 $aThis is the first comprehensive study of the life and works of Muhammad Baqer as-Sadr - an Iraqi scholar who made an important contribution to the renewal of Islamic law and politics in the contemporary Middle East. Executed in 1980, Sadr was the most articulate thinker and a major political actor in the revival of Shi'i learning, which placed Najaf in Southern Iraq at its centre. Dr Chibli Mallat examines the intellectual development of Sadr and his companions who included Ruhullah al-Khumaini and assesses Sadr's innovative approaches to the study of law, economics and banking. The author convincingly demonstrates how Sadr's ideas and activities were influential in the rise of political Islam across the Middle East and played an important part in the Iranian revolution of 1979. 410 0$aCambridge Middle East library ;$v29. 606 $aIslamic law$xEconomic aspects 606 $aIslam and politics 606 $aLaw$zIran$xIslamic influences 606 $aShi??ah 615 0$aIslamic law$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aIslam and politics. 615 0$aLaw$xIslamic influences. 615 0$aShi??ah. 676 $a340.5/9 700 $aMallat$b Chibli$0659039 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247919703316 996 $aThe renewal of Islamic law$92366599 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
