Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3

Abstract

The Noble Qur’an is the expression of the building human being’s character in the example of the Messenger of Allah. Muslims, who have been tried to perceive this process, revealed a huge heritage from the beginning of first centuries of hijra. There are many different methods in this heritage. One of them is Salafism and that is the issue of this article. It has adopted a literalminded approach by ignoring rational thinking. This article tries to provide a general overview both of historical and intellectual dimensions of Salafism. This viewpoint that especially rises in the crisis times of Muslims is one of the most important agendas of the Contemporary Muslim World. It is also significant and emphasized issue for Orientalism that uses data by obtaining from deep-rooted studies over Islamic heritage to modify the future of the Muslim World with itself falsifying these data.
