Edinburgh University Press NeoTraditionalism in Islam in the West
Book SynopsisThis book examines the salience of neo-traditionalism in Anglo-American Muslim communities, by tracing the scholarship and impact of the key public pedagogues (shaykhs) associated with this phenomenon Hamza Yusuf, Abdal Hakim Murad, and Umar Faruq Abd-Allah.Trade Review"Addressing the phenomenon of Islamic 'neo-traditionalism', Dr Quisay skilfully analyses not only the positions of its most prominent advocates and acolytes, but also the larger epistemological and ethical contexts in which it has developed.

Edinburgh University Press Why Islamists Go Green
Book SynopsisFrom North Africa to Indonesia, Muslim populations have struggled to cope with the new environmental realities. However, in the era of globalisation, institutionalised Islamist parties, particularly in government, are increasingly addressing green issues and suggesting policies in order to help protect water supplies, reduce pollution and increase tree plantation. This applies to Islamists who participate in electoral politics, as well as those who are classified as transnational or militant. Delving into the causes of this new environmentalism phenomenon, Emmanuel Karagiannis explores the religious and political motivations of five Islamist groups and assesses the degree of influence that Islamic texts, rulings and principles have on the green policies pursued.

Edinburgh University Press Twelver Shii Selfflagellation Rites in
Book SynopsisThis book examines contested Muharram practices, as well as the institutions and authorities that promoted or condemned them until 2011, when most Shi?is fled Syria. For 40 years, the Syrian shrine town of Sayyida Zaynab was a place of miracles, where violence engendered healing. To experience miraculous healing, Shi?is attended mourning gatherings, studied at seminaries, self-flagellated, and frequented spiritual healers. Supported by the political establishment, Shi?i institutions arose to serve Iraqi refugees and Iranian pilgrims. Seminaries promoted various practices, some highly controversial. Wounded, traumatized, impoverished, and oppressed, asylum seekers from Iraq who performed flagellations sought salvation - a worldly restoration requiring saintly beneficence. In Syria, where Shi?is were often asylum seekers from Iraq, daily concerns centred on the here and now, on survival, and on the bitterness they felt. They prayed for justice and retribution, as much as for physical and psychological healing.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Muhammad the Prophet and Arabia
Book SynopsisThis volume comprises articles dealing with qur''anic and post-qur''anic aspects of the Prophet Muhammad''s image and religious environment. The pieces in the first section analyse Muhammad''s prophecy as reflected in the Qur''an and the post-qur''anic sources of sira (Muhammad''s biography), tafsir (Qur''an exegesis), ta''rikh (historiography) and hadith (Muslim tradition). They reveal aspects of the manner in which the post-qur''anic sources have elaborated on the relatively modest qur''anic image of Muhammad for polemical needs as well as due to natural admiration for the prophet of Islam. Articles in the second section study Muhammad''s prophetic experience. By concentrating on specific events in Muhammad''s life further light can be shed on the post-qur''anic image of Muhammad as developed by the Muslims of the first Islamic era. The articles that comprise the third section look at Muhammad''s Arabia, specifically the traditions about Mecca and the Ka`ba as well as at the pre-IslTrade Review'Overall, this collection of Rubin's articles is a useful resource for the study of the life of the Prophet and the Qur'an ...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Studies on Early Arabic Philosophy
Book SynopsisPhilosophy in the Islamic world from the 9th to 11th centuries was characterized by an engagement with Greek philosophical works in Arabic translation. This volume collects papers on both the Greek philosophers in their new Arabic guise, and on reactions to the translation movement in the period leading up to Avicenna. In a first section, Adamson provides general studies of the 'formative' period of philosophy in the Islamic world, discussing the Arabic reception of Aristotle and of his commentators. He also argues that this formative period was characterized not just by the use of Hellenic materials, but also by a productive exchange of ideas between Greek-inspired 'philosophy (falsafa)' and Islamic theology (kalÄm). A second section considers the underappreciated philosophical impact of Galen, using Arabic sources to understand Galen himself, and exploring the thought of the doctor and philosopher al-RÄzÄ, who drew on Galen as a chief inspiration. A third section looks at al-FÄrÄbÄ aTable of ContentsRECEPTION OF GREEK PHILOSOPHY, I Arabic philosophy and theology before Avicenna II Aristotle in the Arabic commentary tradition III The last philosophers of late antiquity in the Arabic tradition GALEN AND AL-RAZI IV Galen and al-Razi on time V Galen on void VI Platonic pleasures in Epicurus and al-RazT VII Abu Bakr al-Razi on animals THE BAGHDAD SCHOOL VIII The Arabic sea battle: al-Farabi on the problem of future contingents IX Knowledge of universals and particulars in the Baghdad school X Yal;iya ibn 'AdI and Averroes on Metaphysics Alpha Elatton XI On knowledge of particulars XII Avicenna and his commentators on human and divine self-intellection XIII From the necessary existent to God
