Sayyid al-Qimni: One of the most controversial thinkers; Between accusing him of infidelity and atheism on the one hand, and calculating him within the rational and enlightening trend on the other hand, the position on him fluctuates. Sayed Mahmoud Al-Qimni was born in the city of Al-Wasta in the Beni Suef Governorate in 1947 AD, and continued to study until he obtained his doctorate from the University of Southern California (and some argue about the credibility of his obtaining that degree). Al-Qimni specialized in writing about the early days of Islamic history, analyzing and criticizing a lot of its historical stations until he was threatened with assassination in 2005 AD, after being accused of blasphemy and atheism by some of his opponents. After that, Qimni opted for safety and announced his retirement from thought and writing, and later retracted his decision. Finally, after a long effort, the state appreciated him by granting him the State Appreciation Award in 2009 AD, and this was accompanied by a violent earthquake of rejection and objection. The intellectual project of Sayed Al-Qimni revolves around critiquing and sifting heritage; Where he criticized a lot of what he sees outside the scope of reason in Islamic history, so he demanded the abrogation of the verses of slaves, female slaves and the king of the oath, stressing that Muslims froze intellectually upon the death of the Prophet, considering that the current Qur’anic text, which some of the Qur’anic texts of our era used to transcend. The Messenger is a human being who makes mistakes and makes mistakes, and there is no sanctity for a person in Islam, whether it was the Messenger or his companions after him, and that Islamic history is a continuous series of blood wasted in order to build the Islamic state. Undoubtedly, this made Qimni subject to accountability, whether from the state agencies or Al-Azhar Al-Sharif. Al-Qimni’s most prominent books include: “The Wars of the Messenger’s State,” “The Hashemite Party,” and “Legend and Legacy.” Al-Qimni remains—whether we agree or disagree with him—a bold thinker who expresses his views without equivocation.
