The Return of the "Hanif"
Become a "hanif," free from restrictions of sect.
Come into the cloister of faith like a monk.
Shabistari, Gulshan-i Raz (960, Persian)
A "hanif" is a primitive Abrahamic pietist and religious pluralist. See also Qur'an 2:285.
Muslim supersessionism (like Christian supersessionism) has effected a hermeneutical transformation of the scripture into a sectarian text.
"Hanifism" is a return to the heritage of Ibrahim, hanifan, musliman. It returns the Qur'an to the family of Abraham.
