Otfried Höffe on al-Mawardi - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 130 Al-Mawardi/Höffe: al-Mawardi (974-1058) [writes] an exemplary book on the rules of Höffe I 131 (sultanic) rule in Islam, the fiqh: Kitāb al-ahkām al-saltā-nūya. Sultan: Sultan in Arabic means two things: the rule and the person of the ruler. As a representative of sacral legal thought, al-Mawardi does not refer to philosophy but exclusively to divine law, the Shari'a. Al-MawardiVsHellenism: In contrast to the Hellenization of Islamic culture, one could speak here of a counterrevolution in Islamic culture. Fiqh thinking, however, arises at about the same time as Hellenization, so we are dealing with two competing currents. >Hellenism, >Islam._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
