Al-Rifqi shares details from his confinement
Writer and researcher Abdulwahhab Al-Rifqi reveals in his article the intellectual behind-the-scenes experiences he underwent during his imprisonment and over the years that followed. He clarifies that his religious reevaluations did not begin inside prison but started while he was free—by breaking through the prohibitions of the Salafi framework, especially political participation, which was considered a form of polytheism in legislation. He explains that exploratory reading—possessing the courage to question and change—is the true path to intellectual development. He was influenced by works such as Ibn Sa'd's "Tabaqat al-Shafi'iyyah" (or similar sources), which dismantled the sacred image of Islamic history, leading him to realize complex political and human struggles, and emotionally to deep psychological pain. He also affirms that his intellectual journey is ongoing even after his release from prison, emphasizing that genuine reading is the one that provokes awe and anxiety, and that it requires courage to criticize and change.
