The Diary of a Modern-Day Sufi by C. M. Webster Summary

W Modern-Day Sufi e all need a little help and guidance at some point or another in our lives. In that respect it can be said that we all bear the same cross, but what I believe is crucial for humanity, particularly now, is that the help and guidance that we do receive allows us to grow and evolve unhindered by what I often regard as antiquated rules and regulations that merely profess to have our best interests at heart. This is not a book about how to become someone; it is a book about rediscovering who you already are, and that, my friends, is perhaps humanity’s greatest challenge yet, for there are very few who have managed to reach the lofty heights of self-recognition in this reality! And whether the catalyst be my simple words, or another’s, it is ultimately only ever you who can successfully achieve this goal. You are your greatest advocate . . . and you are your greatest adversary! It is up to you to choose which one you will be. This book is an observation of what we as individuals make of this wondrous thing we call life, and how, based largely upon other’s often distorted and fearful viewpoints of life, we set about creating our own experiences of it. I have so named the book for the simple reason that we all fall prey to the self-limiting beliefs and systems of this reality to some degree or another, and we all tend to ‘buy into’ them with equally determined alacrity, often convincing ourselves that we have no choice and that we must make the best of what we have. Unfortunately, this also leaves no room for doubt that it all may just be some grand hoax orchestrated on the part of those with the power and the wisdom to know better. I no longer believe in this reality. We all have a choice, and through the following observations it is my deepest heartfelt desire that we all discover this simple truth, before it is too late! Christine Webster.

Background and education[edit]

Winter is the son of an architect and artist.^[13][14]

Winter was educated at Westminster School and graduated with a double-first in Arabic from Pembroke College, Cambridge in 1983.^[13] He then went on to study at Al Azhar University in Cairo ^[3][13][15] and further private study with individual scholars in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.^[3][12] After returning to England, he studied Turkish and Persian at the University of London.^[15]

Major work and projects[edit]

In 2009 Winter helped to open the Cambridge Muslim College, an institute designed to train British imams.^[16][17][18] Winter also directs the Anglo-Muslim Fellowship for Eastern Europe, and the Sunna Project which has published the foremost scholarly Arabic editions of the major Sunni Hadith collections.^[12][13] He serves as the secretary of the Muslim Academic Trust.^[13] Winter is active in translating key Islamic texts into English^[2] including a translation of two volumes of the Islamic scholar al-Ghazali's Ihya Ulum al-Din.^[3] His academic publications include many articles on Islamic theology and Muslim-Christian relations as well as two books in Turkish on political theology. His book reviews sometimes appear in the Times Literary Supplement. He is also the editor of the Cambridge Companion to Classical Islamic Theology (2008) and author of Bombing without Moonlight, which in 2007 was awarded the King Abdullah I Prize for Islamic Thought.^[19] Winter is also a contributor to BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day.^[20][21] Additionally, Winter is one of the signatories of A Common Word Between Us and You, an open letter by Islamic scholars to Christian leaders, calling for peace and understanding.^[22]

Cambridge Mosque Project[edit]

Winter is the founder and leader of the Cambridge Mosque project^[23] which is working to develop a new purpose built mosque in Cambridge to cater for up to 1,000 worshipers.^[21][24] The mosque is planned to be entirely reliant on green energy with an almost-zero carbon footprint.^[23] Regarding the project Winter stated that, 'This will be a very substantial world class landmark building in what is considered by some to be a down-at-heel part of Cambridge.'^[24]

Views on extremism[edit]

Winter is a traditionalist and considers the views of extremists like al-Qaeda as religiously illegitimate and inauthentic. He decries the failure of extremists to adhere to the classical canons of Islamic law and theology and denounces their fatwas.^[25] He unequivocally rejects suicide bombing and considers the killing of noncombatants as always forbidden, noting that some sources consider it worse than murder. According to Winter, Bin Laden and his right-hand man Ayman al-Zawahiri are un-Islamic, unqualified vigilantes who violate basic Islamic teachings.^[25]

Winter is critical of Western foreign policy for fueling anger and resentment in the Muslim world.^[26] He is equally critical of Saudi Arabia's Wahhabi ideology, which he believes gives extremists a theological pretext for their extremism and violence.^[26]

Personal life[edit]

Winter's younger brother is football writer Henry Winter.^[14]

Awards and nominations[edit]

In January 2015, Winter was nominated for the Services to Education award at the British Muslim Awards.^[27]
