Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Political Quietism in Islam
Book SynopsisSaud al-Sarhan (PhD, University of Exeter) is Secretary General at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies (KFCRIS) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He was previously the Director of Research at KFCRIS. He is also an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the College of Social Sciences and International Studies at Exeter University, UK, an Associate Fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) at King's College London, and a Distinguished International Affairs Fellow of the National Council on US-Arab Relations, USA.Trade ReviewSaud al-Sarhan has brought together an impressive array of contributors as editor of this book, which is the first to analyse the history and meaning of political quietism in Islamic societies around the globe. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the work is, indeed, its willingness to admit and impartially examine variations in the practice and thought of Muslim societies [...] This book feels like the start of a new debate which recognizes quietism in Islam, not as a form of subservience but as political power. -- International AffairsThis book is a welcome addition in the field, providing an extremely useful nuanced discussion; I suspect that it will be required reading for anyone with a genuine interest in the politics of Islam. * Middle East Monitor *"An excellent introduction to key concepts and developments in quietist political theology in Islam ... a book well worth reading especially for anyone interested in politics, Islam, Islamism, Islamic theology, and sociology of religion" -- Asif Mohiuddin, Sakarya University, TurkeyThe [book] enables the reader [to have] a wealth of insights into the historical and contemporary developments in Muslim countries ... It belongs in every library with humanities, social sciences and literature, and can be used by all readers. * Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes (Bloomsbury Translation) *Table of ContentsIntroduction Saud al-Sarhan, The King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, Saudi Arabia; and Faisal Abullhassan, Johns Hopkins University, USA Part I – The Concept of Political Quietism: Its Problematics and the Islamic Context 1 – Making Sense of ‘Political Quietism’—An Analytical Intervention Jan-Peter Hartung, University of Göttingen, Germany 2 – Expressions of Political Quietism in Islamic History Ebrahim Moosa, University of Notre Dame, USA; and Nicholas Roberts, Sewanee: The University of the South, USA Part II – Political Quietism in Classical Islam 3 – The Rightly-Guided Caliphs: The Range of Views Preserved in Hadith Robert Gleave, University of Exeter, UK; and Christopher Melchert, University of Oxford, UK 4 – “Patience in Our Situation Is Better than Sedition”: The Shift to Political Quietism in the Sunni Tradition Saud al-Sarhan, The King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, Saudi Arabia 5 – Quietism and Political Legitimacy in Imami Shi'i Jurisprudence: al-Sharif al-Murtada’s Treatise on the Legality of Working for the Government Reconsidered Robert Gleave, University of Exeter, UK Part III – Political Quietism in Modern and Contemporary Islamic Thought 6 – “I’m Only a Village Farmer and a Dervish’: Between Political Quietism and Spiritual Leadership: Early Modern Shi'i Sufism and the Challenge of Modernity Alessandro Cancian, The Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK 7 – Legal Discourses on Hijra in the Caucasus after the Fall of the Caucasus Imamate: Risalat al-sharifa by the Dagestani Scholar 'Abd al-Rahman al-Thughuri Mogamed Gizbulaev, Princeton University, USA 8 – Constitutionalism as Quietist Strategy: The Case of Tunisia Jeremy Kleidosty, University of Helsinki, Finland 9 – “Dropping a Thick Curtain of Forgetting and Disregard”: Modern Shi'i Quietism Beyond Politics Rainer Brunner, The French National Center for Scientific Research, France 10 – Public Piety and the Politics of Preaching Among Female Preachers in Riyadh Laila Makboul, University of Oslo, Norway 11 – The Gülen Movement in Azerbaijan: Political Quietism or Taqiyya?

University Press of America Alternative Paradigms
Book SynopsisMany scholars were convinced that the existing Western style of life, thought, and political institutions could easily be adapted to Muslim societies by bringing them into line with Islamic belief systems and rules. But after some experiences they were surprised when even intellectuals who had Western academic training remained deeply attached to Islam. In this book, Davutoglu develops a comparative analysis between Western and Islamic political theories and images. His argument contends that the conflicts and contrasts between Islamic and Western political thought originate from their philosophical, methodological, and theoretical background rather than mere institutional and historical differences. The questions of how and through which processes these alternative conceptions of the world affect political ideas via a set of axiological presuppositions are the crux of the book. Contents: Transliteration; Introduction; I. Theoretical Inquiries. Western Paradigm: Ontological ProxiTrade ReviewThis is a very useful, well-written book by a Turkish author who is obviously versed in both Islamic and Western political theory. It is to be strongly recommended, as an informative source, for those interested in comparative and multi-cultural studies. * Political Studies Review *This is a very useful, well-written book by a Turkish author who is obviously versed in both Islamic and Western political theory.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Studying Islam The Critical Issues Studying World Religions
Book SynopsisA guide to the study of the Islamic faith that covers the major areas of study, including historical foundations, scripture, society, thought, ethics, rituals, spirituality and aesthetics. It draws out the critical and methodological issues that students need to grasp in the study of Islam as well as religion in general.Trade Review"Bennett provides an insightful and incisive analysis of trends in approaches to the teaching of Islam. He deal frankly with the problems that emerge with both the "faith sensitive" and the "critical" approaches and illustrates ways in which the positive elements of both trends can be integrated. Using an innovative structure mirroring a descriptive analysis of religion in human life, Bennett demonstrates how the study of Islam does not need to side with either polemic or apologetics and how it can and must integrate the tough questions that are asked today if it is to have intellectual rigour. This work provides a summary of scholarship on Islam that will be helpful to students in the development of their analytical tools and to teachers in their search for a classroom stance that is faithful to the principles of religious studies as an academic discipline." - Andrew Rippin, University of Victoria, Canada"In this comprehensive study aid Bennett provides students with an introductory look at Islam from an academic point of view. The past and current attitudes and approaches to the subject are aptly represented as well as core sources such as the Qur'an. Bennett draws constructive elements from both the critical and the faith sensitive schools of thought thus setting a balanced foundation for religious study in general. This is the first volume in the Studying World Religions series, which takes on the subject of religious studies as social science rather than theology." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.Table of ContentsSeries Preface; Introduction: Studying Islam - Identifying Issues; 1 Seminal Personality and Scripture; 2 Community Dimension and Social Involvement; 3 Conceptual Framework and Ethics; 4 Rituals and Spirituality; 5 Aesthetics/Material Direction.
