Questioning the Authority of the Past : The Ahl al-Qur'an Movements in the Punjab - 1st - Karachi Oxford University Press 2011 - xii,348 Pages 23x14 cm HB
Include Bibliography and Index
Unlike other studies on South Asian Islam, which either ignore the Ahl al-Quran or misread their dogmatic approach, and also the extent of its impact, the present study researches the Ahl al-Quran as disparate set of movements originating during the late nineteenth century, mainly in Punjab. To varying degrees, these movements and their ideologues-most notably Maulvi Abdullah Chakralavi, Khwaja Ahmad-ud-Din Amritsari and Ghulam Ahmad Parvez-espoused the centrality of Quran as the only divine text required for the inference of religious doctrines.
