The figure of Yusuf al-Qaradawi and the concept of wasatiyya he promotes is the subject of an important contemporary debate on political Islam. The originality of his views and the vision of liberal Islam were influenced by two main sources: Al-Azhar University and the Society of Muslim Brothers. The context of the Egyptian political scene, and at the same time the debate of Muslim scholars on the problems of umma and the reform program during the activity of Al-Qaradawi, constituted a significant basis for criticism of both extremism and secularism in the Islamic world. Wasatiyya, as it was presented by Al-Qaradawi, was to be an alternative, a compromise and a new vision for many contemporary problems of Muslim societies. The aim of the article is, on the one hand, to present the context for the shaping of Al-Qaradawi’s views, and, on the other, to attempt to discuss the basic assumptions of wasatiyya.
