Major moments in thought al - Bishris
For al - Bishri is the confrontation between benefits and harms, salvation and damnation, which have to cope successfully Egypt in terms of the preservation of their own culture, a question of outside and inside, the Islamic philosopher calls it: Between Wafid ( Wafid ) and Mawruth ( mawrūṯ ), between the invaders and the inherited. Only a culturally (not least the former colonial powers ) impaired Orient neglected his " legacy " and imitate Western (including: the nation-state oriented ) identity.
Wafid 's all for al - Bishri what the Egyptians influenced by Islam alienated from its roots and may ward off permanently. The authentic Egyptians must have been inherited, maintain its Mawruth, may live to a certain extent culturally inward -oriented and successfully push back the Wafid. Tariq al - Bishri regretted that he himself until very late the destructive and alienating " approach " ( Wafid ) of the non secular Sharia law as the main threat to the Egyptian " heritage " ( mawrūṯ ) I can see.
Another key concept in thinking al - Bischris is Nahda ( An-Nahda ), resurrection (Anglicized nahda, awakening, renaissance, from Tunisia, we know the same, the Muslim Brotherhood sprung movement Ennahda under the since the Jasmine Revolution politically influential Rachid al - Ghannouchi ). Nahda literally means Bring Up or standing and is often accompanied by Islamic revival or Islamic Renaissance; many Nahdisten see themselves in the tradition of the so-called Islamic reformer Jamal al-Din al - Afghani (1838-1897) and Muhammad Abduh ( 1849-1905 ).
