The Amman Message

The Amman Message is a primary 2004 declaration issued from a conference of Islamic scholars convened in Amman, affirming the validity of the recognized Sunni and Shia legal schools and named Sufi orders, and this atlas carries it as a custodian source since the issuing institute is documenting its own consensus statement. It is authoritative for exactly what that specific conference declared and which schools and orders it names, checkable against the declaration's own text, not for a comprehensive scholarly history of any one school or order it lists. Use it to document this specific modern interfaith unity declaration; a claim about one named school or order's own broader history needs a dedicated source on that school or order.
