Summary

Introduction

В статье показывается, что творчество Маджида может быть охарактеризовано как сочетание исламского традиционализма и модернизма и не лишено актуальности для современной исламской мысли. Что Сунна включает в себя исчерпывающее описание действий Мухаммада как лидера, пророка и обычного человека, в то время как хадисы сосредоточены на его роли лидера и пророка. Если при изучении истории иногда обнаруживается, что Пророк и его сподвижники вели себя не очень правильно, то это, согласно Маджиду, не бросает тени на исламское вероучение как таковое.
