Historical And Philosophical Analysis Of The Concept Of Panislamism: On The Example Of Jamaliddin Al-Afghani's Views

Abstract

This article analyzes the ideology of “Pan-Islamism”, which played a significant role in the political and historical processes of the 19th-20th centuries, as well as the religious and political views of Jamaluddin al-Afghani, the founder of this ideology, from a scientific and philosophical perspective. The study examines the factors behind the formation of ideological doctrines during the anti-colonial struggle in the Middle East and Central Asia, their operational mechanisms, and their combined impact on public consciousness in the modern era. Al-Afghani's ideas related to the concept of Islamic unity, Islamic modernism, and reformist movements have been analyzed from the perspective of their role in the emergence and spread of pan-Islamism. The influence of this ideology on the Jadid movement, national liberation struggles, socio-political processes in Turkestan, and the policies of the Ottoman Empire is also examined. Additionally, the article separately explores the historical evolution of pan-Islamism, its modern forms, and particularly the dangerous manipulative features of neo-pan-Islamism.
