Henri Laoust was a French Orientalist who, in his Essai sur les doctrines sociales et politiques de Taki‑d‑Din Almad b. Taimtya (1939), noted the anti‑Wahhabi condemnation of the Burda by scholars such as Abd al‑Rahmān b. Hasan b. al‑Shaikh Muhammad b. Abd al‑Wahhāb (see PAGE 35).
Scholarly Work
Laoust’s essay, published in Cairo in 1939, discusses the social and political doctrines of Taki‑d‑Din Almad and references the broader anti‑Wahhabi discourse surrounding the Burda.
Relevance to Aceh Studies
His observations help contextualise the transmission of anti‑Wahhabi sentiment into the Malay world, where the Burda was widely recited.
