Book SynopsisThe Religious Polemics of the Muslims of Late Medieval Christian Iberia examines the corpus of polemical literature against the Christians and the Jews of the protected Muslims (Mudejars). Commonly portrayed as communities in cultural and religious decay, Mònica Colominas convincingly proves that the discourses against the Christians and the Jews in Mudejar treatises provided authoritative frameworks of Islamic normativity which helped to legitimize the residence of their communities in the Christian territories. Colominas argues that, while the primary aim of the polemics was to refute the views of their religious opponents, Mudejar treatises were also a tool used to advance Islamic knowledge and to strengthen the government and social cohesion of their communities.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Figures Note on Transliteration, Conventions and Abbreviations Introduction  Mudejar Polemics  Scholarship on the Mudejars and Their Literature  Main Questions and Chapter Overview 1 The Connection between Religious Polemics and Notions of Identity and Religious Authority among the Mudejars  Introduction  1.1 The Sacred Law, or Sharīʿa  1.2 The Relationship of the Mudejars with Jews and Christians  1.3 The Mudejar Aljamas  Conclusions 2 Concepts and Methods for the Study of Religious Authority and Identity in the Religious Polemics of the Mudejars  Introduction  2.1 Recent Approaches to Religious Polemics  2.2 Towards a Definition of Mudejar Polemics  2.3 Theoretical Framework and Methods  Conclusions 3 Previous Research and Identification of the Mudejar Polemical Sources to be Discussed in the Present Study  3.1 Twentieth- and Twenty-First Century Scholarly Views on Mudejar Manuscripts of Religious Polemics  3.2 Mudejar Polemical Sources  3.3 The Sources of the Kitāb al-Mujādala  3.4 The Place of the Copying of the Kitāb al-Mujādala: The Geographical Location of Piṭrūla  Conclusions 4 Muslim Literature of Religious Polemics  Introduction  4.1 al-Andalus  4.2 Christian Iberia  4.3 The Maghreb  4.4 The Mashriq  Conclusions 5 Mudejar Polemics with the Jews  Introduction  5.1 The Taʾyīd  5.2 The Kitāb al-Mujādala  5.3 The “demandas” [Questions]  Conclusions 6 Mudejar Polemics with the Christians  Introduction  6.1 The Kitāb al-Mujādala  6.2 Religious Authority in the Kitāb al-Mujādala  6.3 An Ethical-Centred Model for Islam in the Kitāb al-Mujādala  6.4 Political Philosophy in the Kitāb al-Mujādala  Conclusions 7 Mudejar Polemics as a Discursive Tradition  Introduction  7.1 Mudejar Identity in Polemics  7.2 Religious Leadership  7.3 Notions of Minority Identity and Government among the Mudejars  Conclusions Conclusions Manuscript Description of the Kitāb al-Mujādala (MS AF 58)  Codicological Description  Bibliography  Source Overview Annex MS BNE 4944, ff. 1r–36r: Transcription and Rendering into Modern Spanish MS L 536, ff. 123v–125r: Transcription and Rendering into Modern Spanish References Index of Names and Places

Book SynopsisIn Islam and Gender in Colonial Northeast Africa, Silvia Bruzzi provides an account of Islamic movements and gender dynamics in the context of colonial rule in Northeast Africa. The thread that runs through the book is the life and times of Sittī ‘Alawiyya al-Mīrġanī (1892-1940), a representative of a well-established transnational Sufi order in the Red Sea region. Silvia Bruzzi gives us not only a social history of the colonial encounter in the Eritrean colony, but also a wider historical account of supra-regional dynamics across the Red Sea, the Ethiopian hinterland, and the Mediterranean region, using a wide range of fragmentary historical materials to make an important contribution towards filling the gap that currently exists in women's and gender history in Muslim societies.Trade Review[...] “Constant experimentation of approaches and the use of a wide variety of sources are the distinctive traits of this book [...]. Silvia Bruzzi’s book is an original and stimulating contribution that gives Eritrea the history of one of its foremost female protagonists”.

Book SynopsisIn Formation of a Religious Landscape: Shi‘i Higher Learning in Safavid Iran, Maryam Moazzen offers the first systematic examination of Shi‘i educational institution and practices by exploring the ways in which religious knowledge was produced, authenticated, and transmitted in the second half of Safavid rule (1588-1722). By analyzing the deeds of endowment of the Madrasa-yi Sulṭānī and other mosque-madrasas built by the Safavid elite, this study sheds light on the organizing mechanisms and structures utilized by such educational foundations. Based on the large number of ijazās and other primary sources including waqfiyyas, biographical dictionaries and autobiographies, this study also reconstructs the Safavid madrasas’ curriculum and describes the pedagogical methods used to transmit religious knowledge as well as issues that faced Shi‘i higher learning in early modern times.Trade Review"This is a work of considerable scholarship. It is based on many primary sources, for instance, "biographical dictionaries, autobiographies, ijāzas, deeds of endowment (waqfiyyas), chronicles and historical sources, European travelers’ accounts, anthologies and polemics written by Safavid ʿulamā, administrative accounts and chancery literature, and works written by Safavid ʿulamaʾ” (p. 24). All are supported by a notable command of the secondary literature in the field. The outcome is a book that, for the first time, tells us how Safavid madrasas worked, and what and how they taught. It is a considerable achievement." - Francis Robinson, Royal Holloway, University of London, in: Journal of the American Oriental Society 139/3 (2019)Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements Note on Transliteration and Style Introduction  Imperializing Twelver Shiʿism and Its Impact on Shiʿi Higher Learning  The Reaction of the Sunni ʿUlamāʾ  Madrasas and the Consolidation of Shiʿism in Persia  The Permissibility of Collaborating with Temporal Power  Shiʿi Higher Learning in Safavid Iran 1 Mosque-Madrasas of Safavid Isfahan  Pre-Safavid Mosque-Madrasas  Safavid Mosques and Madrasas  After ʿAbbās the Great  The Largest Shiʿi Madrasa  Conclusion 2 The Madrasa-yi Sulṭānī: Waqfs, Administrative Structure, and Academic Life  Shāh Sulṭān Ḥusayn’s Objectives in Establishing the Madrasa-yi Sulṭānī  The Deeds of Endowment of the Madrasa-yi Sulṭānī  Analysis of the Endowed Properties  The Administrative Structure of the Madrasa-yi Sulṭānī  Conclusion 3 Reshaping Shiʿa Cultural Memory: Commemorative Rituals and Constructing Identity  Contextualizing Cultural Memory  Safavid Madrasas and Commemorating Cultural Memory  The Instructional Values of Commemorative Rituals  Madrasas and Social Coherence  Reconfiguring Cultural Memory  Conclusion 4 The Safavid Curriculum: Conflicting Visions, Contested Triumphs  Safavid Scholars and the Concept of Knowledge (ʿilm)  Towards Reconstructing the Curriculum of the Safavid Madrasas  The Uṣūlīs and the Curriculum  The Curriculum of the Madrasas of Safavid Isfahan  Akhbarism and Its Impact on the Safavid Curriculum  The Curriculum of Safavid Madrasas during the Reign of Shāh Sulṭān Ḥusayn  Conclusion 5 Engagement with Religious Knowledge: Dialogical and Hermeneutical Modes of Transmission  Safavid Pedagogy: Legal Rationalization or Authentic Knowledge  Teaching and Learning Methods  The Place of Texts in Learning and Etiquette Pertinent to Writing and Shelving Books  Teachers and Learning  The Language of Instruction  Travel in Pursuit of Knowledge  Studying and Marriage  Graduation  Conclusion 6 Safavid Pedagogical Approaches: Theories, Application, and Practices  Mullā Ṣadrā and the Problem of Conventional (rasmī) Learning  Muḥsin Fayḍ Kāshānī and Epistemic Certitude  Muḥaqqiq Sabzawārī’s Review of Safavid Higher Learning  Muḥammad Zamān Tabrīzī’s Observations  Conclusion Conclusion Appendix Bibliography Index of Places Index of Subjects and Terms Index of Persons

Book SynopsisIn Lives of the Prophets: The Illustrations to Hafiz-i Abru’s “Assembly of Chronicles” Mohamad Reza Ghiasian analyses two extant copies of the Majmaʿ al-tawarikh produced for the Timurid ruler Shahrukh (r. 1405–1447). The first manuscript is kept in Topkapı Palace and the second is widely dispersed. Codicological analysis of these manuscripts not only allows a better understanding of Hafiz-i Abru’s contributions to rewriting earlier history, but has served to identify the existence of a previously unrecognised copy of the Jamiʿ al-tawarikh produced at Rashid al-Din’s scriptorium. Through a meticulous close reading of both text and image, Mohamad Reza Ghiasian convincingly proves that numerous paintings of the dispersed manuscript were painted over the text before its dispersal in the early twentieth century.Trade Review"Through a detailed reading of both text and image, Lives of the Prophets: The Illustrations to Hafiz-i Abru’s “Assembly of Chronicles” sets the standard for the codicologically-driven study of Persian illustrated manuscripts." - Yuka Kadoi, University of Vienna, in: Abstracta Iranica 40-41 (2019) "This tightly conceived and clearly written study is, as Charles Melville states in the preface (p. x), a masterpiece of “forensic detective work” in unraveling the complex history of Hafiz-i Abru’s universal chronicle. It will readily interest art historians who work on Iran and its neighbors, from Mongol times onwards. [...] the author's careful study has much information that will also interest historian and historiographers." - Sheila Blair, Boston College, in: Iranian Studies (2019) “The real power of this book is in the brilliant reconstruction of the fragmented or dispersed manuscripts of both Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh and Majmaʿ al-tavārīkh, the translation of sections from Ḥāfiẓ-i Abrū’s text, and the sets of iconographic comparisons. Together these form a solid basis for future studies in the field, and, at the same time, offer an interesting picture of Islamic biblical and prophetic iconography within a specific historical context. “- Rachel Milstein The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, in JAOS (2020)Table of ContentsForeword Acknowledgements Figures and Tables Introduction  1 Chapter Summary  2 Note on Appendices, Translation, Transliteration and Dates 1 The Political and Cultural Setting  1 Political History  2 The Legitimation of Shahrukh’s Rule  3 Foreign Relations  4 Personal Traits of Shahrukh  5 Art Patronage 2 Book Production under Shahrukh  1 The Surviving Manuscripts  2 Hafiz-i Abru’s Kulliyat-i tarikhi  3 Rashid al-Din’s Jamiʿ al-tawarikh (Hazine 1654)  4 Nizami’s Khamsa of 835/1431 in the Hermitage Museum  5 Nizami’s Khamsa Known as the Cartier Khamsa  6 Jamiʿ al-tawarikh of the Bibliothèque Nationale  7 Miʿrajnama and Tazkirat al-awliya‌ʾ of the Bibliothèque Nationale 3 Majmaʿ al-tawarikh and Its Surviving Illustrated Copies  1 The Life of Hafiz-i Abru  2 Hafiz-i Abru’s Works  3 Majmaʿal-tawarikh  4 Stories of the Prophets and the Majmaʿ al-tawarikh  5 The Surviving Illustrated Copies of the Majmaʿ al-tawarikh  6 Hazine 1653  7 The Illustration Cycle of the Timurid Parts of Hazine 1653  8 Some Remarks on Foreign Relations as Reflected in these Manuscripts  9 The “Divided Manuscript” as a Hitherto Unknown Copy of the Jamiʿ al-tawarikh Produced at the Rabʿ-i Rashidi  10 The Dispersed Manuscript  11 Paintings Added Later to the Dispersed Manuscript  12 Shahrukhi Illustrations of the Dispersed Manuscript 4 Stylistic Analysis  1 Human Figures  2 Architectural Forms and Natural Life  3 Battle Scenes  4 Enthroned Figures Catalogue: The Illustrations of the Prophets  1 Cat. 1: Adam Orders Abel and Cain to Sacrifice  2 Cat. 2: The Ark of Noah  3 Cat. 3: The Prophet Salih and the She-Camel  4 Cat. 4: Abraham in the Fire  5 Cat. 5: Abraham Sacrifices His Son  6 Cat. 6: The Prophet Jacob and His Twelve Sons  7 Cat. 7: Joseph before the Women of Egypt  8 Cat. 8: The Prophet Job’s Distress  9 Cat. 9: Moses Prevails over Pharaoh  10 Cat. 10: Moses and the Israelites Watch the Egyptians Drown in the Sea  11 Cat. 11: Moses Orders the Israelites to Sacrifice a Cow  12 Cat. 12: Moses and Korah  13 Cat. 13: Moses Striking the Giant ʿUj’s Ankle  14 Cat. 14: Solomon among Demons, Fairies, Wildlife and Birds  15 Cat. 15: Jesus Brings Back to Life Shem, the Son of Noah  16 Cat. 16: Jonah and the Whale  17 Cat. 17: Excavation of the Well of Zamzam  18 Cat. 18: The Birth of the Prophet Muhammad  19 Cat. 19: Muhammad’s Call to Prophecy and the First Revelation  20 Cat. 20: The Prophet Converts Abu Bakr Conclusion Appendix 1: Translation of the Illustrated Episodes of the Lives of the Prophets Based on Hazine 1653  1 The Children and the Descendants of Adam  2 Concerning the Life of the Prophet Noah  3 Salih and the People of Thamud  4 The Story of Abraham: From the Birth up to the Beginning of the Migration  5 Abraham Sacrifices His Son  6 Concerning Jacob  7 The Tale of Joseph and Zulaykha  8 The Story of Job  9 Moses’ Coming to Egypt and Delivering the Message to Pharaoh  10 Moses and the Israelites’ Departure from Egypt and the Drowning of Pharaoh and his People  11 The Corpse that was Found among the Israelites  12 Moses and Korah  13 Moses and the People of ʿAd and ʿUj ibn ʿUnuq  14 The Story of Bilqis and the City of Sheba  15 Jesus’ Coming to Jerusalem  16 The Prophet Jonah  17 Excavation of [the Well of] Zamzam  18 The Birth of [the Prophet] Mustafa  19 The First Divine Revelation and the Beginning of the Apostle’s Mission  20 Conversion of the Companions and Disagreement of Scholars about the First One who Converted to Islam Appendix 2: Headings and Illustrations in Hazine 1653  1 Key Appendix 3: Location of Paintings so Far Identified as Later Additions in the Dispersed Manuscript (Second Style) Appendix 4: Location of Paintings so Far Identified as Later Additions in the Dispersed Manuscript (Third Style) Bibliography

Book SynopsisSociology of Shiʿite Islam is a comprehensive study of the development of Shiʿism. In these collected essays Arjomand has persistently developed a Weberian theoretical framework for the analysis of Shiʿism, from its sectarian formation in the eighth century through the establishment of the Safavid empire in the sixteenth century, to the Islamic revolution in Iran in the twentieth century. The bearers or cultural carriers of Shiʿite Islam first emerged as a sectarian elite, then a hierocracy and finally a theocracy. Imamate, Occultation and the theodicy of martyrdom are identified as the main components of the Shiʿism as a world religion. These studies highlight revolutionary impulses embedded in the belief in the advent of the hidden Imam, and the impact of Shiʿite political ethics on the authority structure of pre-modern Iran and the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran.Trade Review“Sociology of Shiʿite Islam: Collected Essays is a must-read book full of insights for both specialists as well as those interested in the history of Shi‘i Islam.” Yaser Mirdamadi, University of Edinburgh, in Reading ReligionTable of ContentsAbbreviations Introduction: Shiʻite Islam as a World Religion, its Social Forms, Bearers and Impact on Social Action Part I: Formation of Shiʻite Islam as a World Religion of Salvation: Imamate, Occultation and Theodicy Chapter 1: Origins and Development of Apocalyptic Messianism in Early Islam Chapter 2: Crisis of the Imamate and the Institution of Occultation in Twelver Shi`ism Chapter 3: Imam Absconditus and the Beginnings of a Theology of Occultation Chapter 4: The Shiʻite Doctrine of Occultation and the Transition from Chiliasm to Law Chapter 5: Shiʻite Theodicy: Martyrdom and the Meaning of Suffering Part II: Shiʻite Religion and the Structure of Domination in Iran Chapter 6: Hierocratic Authority in Shiʻism and the Transition from Sectarian to National Religion in Iran Chapter 7: Three Decrees of Shah Tahmāsp on Clerical Authority and Public Law in Shiʻite Iran Chapter 8: Political Ethic and Public Law in the First half of the Nineteenth Century Chapter 9: Imam Khomeini and the Constitution of the Rule of God in Contemporary Iran Part III: The Bearers of Shiʻite Islam and its Institutional Organization Chapter 10.

Book SynopsisFrance experienced an unprecedented wave of terrorist attacks in 2015. Following these tragic events, social science researchers felt the need to undertake new work to better understand the dynamics of this new radicalism. This book is the result of one of these attempts. A large quantitative and qualitative survey was conducted among French Lycée students in order to gather substantive information and propose an interpretation of the penetration of radical ideas, be they religious or political, among them. How widespread are these radical ideas? What are the main characteristics of youngsters who share them? Are there links between religious radicalism and political radicalism? How do young people feel about the 2015 terrorist attacks? How do young people use media and social media to keep abreast of and understand radical acts and opinions? Those are the main questions explored in this book. Contributors are: Vincenzo Cicchelli, Alexandra Frénod, Olivier Galland, Laurent Lardeux, Anne Muxel, Jean-François Mignot and Sylvie Octobre.Table of Contents List of Illustrations  Notes on Contributors  Introduction   Olivier Galland and Anne Muxel Prologue: Field Work Diary   Alexandra Frénod 1 Radicalism in Question   Olivier Galland and Anne Muxel 2 Religious Radicalism: from Absolutism to Violence   Olivier Galland 3 Students’ Reactions to the 2015 Paris Attacks   Jean-François Mignot 4 Political Radicalism: between Protest and Violence   Anne Muxel 5 Deprivation, Discrimination and Radicalism   Laurent Lardeux 6 Conspiracy Theories and Informational Radicalism   Vincenzo Cicchelli and Sylvie Octobre  Afterword   Olivier Galland and Anne Muxel Appendices References Index

Book SynopsisIn Carrying on the Tradition Garrett Davidson employs a variety of largely unutilized print, as well as archival sources collected from the Near East, North Africa, India, Europe, and North America. He analyses these sources to excavate the fundamental reinvention of the conceptions and practices of hadith transmission that resulted from the establishment of the hadith canon. Further, the book examines how hadith scholars reimagined the transmission of hadith, not as a scholarly tool, as it had originally been, but instead as, among other things, an act of pious emulation of the forefathers. It demonstrates the emergence of new genres and subgenres of hadith literature, as a result of this shift, examining them as artefacts of the cultural, social, and intellectual history of Muslim religiosity from the tenth to twentieth centuries.Table of ContentsList of Figures Introduction 1 Reimagining Hadith Transmission in the Shadow of the Canon  1 The Ideology of Hadith Transmission  2 The Social Logic of Hadith Transmission  3 “Nothing Gold Can Stay:” The End of the ‘Golden Age’ of Hadith Transmission  4 Elevation and Decline  5 Degrees of Separation  6 Supernatural Elevation  7 Conclusion 2 The Post-canonical Evolution of Oral Hadith Transmission  1 The Audition Notice  2 The Evolving Function of Oral Transmission  3 The Age Structure of Oral Transmission  4 Hadith Speed Reading  5 Further Liberalization of Oral Transmission  6 The Ritualization of Oral Hadith Transmission  7 Locations of Oral Hadith Transmission  8 Musalsalāt: Ritual and Mimesis in Oral Hadith Transmission  9 A Shifting Culture of Oral Hadith Transmission 3 Non-oral Transmission in the Oral Idiom: The Development and Function of the Ijāza  1 Confusion in the Secondary Literature  2 The Origins and Early Development of the Ijāza  3 The Earliest Attestations of the Ijāza  4 The Tide Begins to Turn: The Increasing Acceptance of the Ijāza in the Fourth/Tenth Century  5 Al-Khaṭīb and the Expansion of the Ijāza  6 The ijāza as a Means of Preserving the Chain of Transmission  7 Permission for the Unspecified  8 Who Can Receive an Ijāza?  9 The Ijāza and the Short Chain of Transmission  10 The Ijāza and the Unborn  11 Ijāzas for All: The Development and Function of the al-Ijāza al-ʿĀmma  12 Conclusion 4 The High and the Low: Men, Women and the Social Aspect of Elevation  1 The Laity and the Randomness of Longevity and Elevation  2 A Medieval Hadith Rock Star: The Extraordinary Case of Abū ʿAbbās al-Ḥajjār  3 The Elevated Chain of Transmission and Women Hadith Transmitters  4 The Exceptional Case of Karīma al-Marwaziyya  5 The Question of Learning among Women Hadith Transmission  6 The Case of Women Hadith Transmitters in al-Sakhāwī’s al-Ḍawʾ al-lāmiʿ  7 Longevity, Elevation and Women Transmitters  8 The View of Women’s Hadith Transmission from the Documentary Evidence  9 Women and Hadith Transmission beyond the Tenth/Sixteenth Century  10 Conclusion 5 Brevity, Breadth and Elevation: The Forty Hadith and ʿAwālī Genres  1 The Prophet’s Promise: The Forty-Hadith Genres and Elevation  2 The Forty-Hadith Genre as a Tool for the Cultivation of Elevation  3 The Forty-Hadith Genre and Elevation  4 Forty Hadith, Forty Shaykhs, Forty Towns  5 The ʿAwālī Genre: Compiling and Presenting Elevation  6 Thulāthiyyāt al-Bukhārī: al-Bukhārī’s Threes  7 Degrees of Separation: Link-Themed ʿAwālī Collections  8 Categories of Elevation: Muwāfaqāt, Abdāl, ʿAwālī  9 Conclusion 6 Men of Books and Books of Men: The Muʿjam/Mashyakha and Fihrist/Thabat Catalog Genres  1 The Mashyakha and Muʿjam al-Shuyūkh Genre  2 The Muʿjam/Mashyakha Genre as s Vehicle for Cultivating Elevated Hadith  3 The Reception of Mashyakha and Muʿjam al-Shuyūkh Works  4 The Fihrist/Thabat Genres  5 The Thabat: The Development of the Catalog Genre in the Central and Eastern Islamic Lands  6 Conclusion 7 Hadith Transmission in an Age of Transformation and Reform  1 The Last of the Mohicans: Al-Kattānī and the State of Hadith Transmission in the Early-Twentieth Century  2 Hadith Transmission and Reform  3 Reformers and the Irrationality of Post-Canonical Hadith Transmission  4 Transmitting Hadith in the Shifting Political and Cultural Terrain of the Twentieth Century  5 Hadith Transmission as a Feature of Late Sunni Traditionalism Index

Book SynopsisIslamic Ethics and the Genome Question is one of the very first academic works, which examine the field of genomics from an Islamic perspective. This twelve-chapter volume presents the results from a pioneering seminar held in 2017 at the Research Center for Islamic Legislation & Ethics, College of Islamic Studies, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, in Qatar. The contributors to this volume, coming from different disciplines and specializations, approached the key ethical questions raised by the emerging field of genomics, viz. the Genome Question (GQ), from various angles and perspectives. Their shared thesis is that the breadth and depth of both the GQ and the Islamic tradition necessitate going beyond just producing quick answers in response to immediate questions. In order to accommodate the complexity and wide scope of the GQ, the volume included critical analyses of the ethical discourse on genomics, from outside the Islamic tradition. Within the Islamic tradition, the contributing authors explored how the QG can be better explored by involving insights from various disciplines including Quran exegesis, Islamic jurisprudence, philosophy and theology. Besides its interest for researchers and students specialized in ethics, bioethics and Islamic studies, this volume will be a source of important information for geneticists, genomicists and social scientists who are interested in the ethical discourse about genomics in the Muslim world. Contributors include Arzoo Ahmed, Abbas Amir, Saadia Bendenia, Mohammed Ghaly, Mutaz al-Khatib, Amara Naceur, Aasim I. Padela, Ayman Shabana, Trevor Stammers, Mehrunisha Suleman and Hub Zwart.Table of ContentsPreface About the Authors Introduction  Mohammed Ghaly Part 1:Collective Ijtihād and Genomics 1 Sharia Scholars and Modern Biomedical Advancements: What Role for Religious Ethics in the Genomic Era?  Mohammed Ghaly 2 Islamic Ethics and Genomics: Mapping the Collective Deliberations of Muslim Religious Scholars and Biomedical Scientists  Mohammed Ghaly 3 Transformation of the Concept of the Family in the Wake of Genomic Sequencing: An Islamic Perspective  Ayman Shabana Part 2: Genomics and Rethinking Human Nature 4 Conceptualizing the Human Being: Insights from the Genethics Discourse and Implications for Islamic Bioethics  Aasim I.

Book SynopsisIn The Fatimids and the Sea (909-1171), David Bramoullé shows how in medieval times an Ismaili dynasty of Caliphs used the sea to develop and justify its claims of control over the Muslim world. Dans les Fatimides et la mer (909-1171), David Bramoullé montre comment à à l’époque médiévale une dynastie musulmane de rite ismaélien utilisa la mer pour se développer et justifier ses prétentions à contrôler le monde musulman.Trade Review“Das Werk schließt damit eine Lücke in der Historiographie der Fatimiden, vor allem im Bereich der Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte. Dem Autor ist es gelungen, die Zusammenhänge zwischen Herrschaft, religiöser Ideologie und wirtschaftlichen Verknüpfungen in meisterhafter Weise darzustellen. Erwähnenswert ist auch die Eleganz der französischen Sprache, die das Buch zu einem Lesevergnügen macht.“ Manfred Pittioni, University of Vienna in: Wiener Zeitschrift Für Die Kunde Des Morgenlandes, Volume 110 (2020). “In many respects, the book of David Bramoullé is a milestone in the field of medieval Islamic studies. To begin with, the study should be credited for the new insights it offers. It contributes to the broader historiographies of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, but also strengthens the model that perceives Egypt as a hub between seas. Secondly, Bramoullé consistently reconnects the two periods of the Fatimid era, which are usually studied separately: there is a real continuity regarding Fatimid maritime institutions and systems, linking their Ifrīqiyan and Egyptian experiences. In studying Fatimid history, taking its full chronological as well as geographical measure, this book is a welcome contribution to a much-needed elimination of the persistent separation between Western and Eastern Islamic studies.” Aurélien Montel, Université Lyon 2 in: Der Islam, Volume 98, Issue 2 (2021).Table of ContentsTables des figures et tableaux Conventions Introduction Partie 1: De la Méditerranée à la mer Rouge : cadre géographique et chronologique de la navigation fatimide Introduction à la Partie 1 1 L’espace maritime fatimide : une terre et des mers  1 Un territoire aux potentialités maritimes évidentes  2 Les facteurs climatiques, leur incidence sur la navigation et l’organisation maritime fatimides 2 L’évolution du rapport de force entre la marine fatimide et ses adversaires  1 L’élaboration et l’apogée de la puissance navale fatimide (909-975)  2 La marine fatimide entre stabilisation et ralentissement (975-1099)  3 La marine fatimide face au défi des croisades (1099-1171) Partie 2: L’organisation navale fatimide Introduction à la Partie 2 3 Les Fatimides et les villes portuaires : des relations difficiles  1 Le contrôle des cités littorales : entre idéologie et pragmatisme  2 Les villes littorales fatimides : des espaces de contestation de la souveraineté fatimide 4 Des navires aux marins ; la flotte fatimide et ses acteurs  1 L’organisation de la flotte  2 Des hommes sur le pont : recrutement et composition des équipages fatimides 5 Arsenaux et chantiers de construction navale  1 Arsenal, chantier naval ou zone d’activité sous contrôle de l’État : une réalité difficile à cerner  2 Historique et localisation des arsenaux et des chantiers de construction navale fatimides  3 Administration des arsenaux fatimides 6 La mer, la flotte et les califes : les enjeux idéologiques de la puissance navale fatimide  1 La flotte et la mer mises en scène  2 La mer et la flotte objets de représentations et de discours Partie 3: Les Fatimides et le commerce maritime : un État entre omniprésence et dépendance Introduction à la Partie 3 7 De l’horizon proche à l’horizon lointain : la construction de l’espace économique maritime fatimide  1 La Méditerranée, premier horizon économique fatimide  2 Les nouveaux horizons : la mer Rouge et au-delà 8 L’État et le commerce maritime  1 Les espaces de la taxation sous contrôle de l’État et de ses représentants  2 De la terre à la mer : le contrôle du trafic maritime  3 En mer : l’intervention des Fatimides dans la navigation commerciale 9 Le commerce au service de l’État, du calife et des grands  1 L’approvisionnement en matériaux stratégiques : entre faux problème et vraie difficulté  2 Markab al-amīr, Markab al-sulṭān : la navigation commerciale aux mains des grands et du calife  3 Les Fatimides, la mer et les marchands : une dépendance réciproque ?

Book SynopsisIn Jesus for Zanzibar: Narratives of Pentecostal (Non-)Belonging, Islam, and Nation Hans Olsson offers an ethnographic account of the lived experience and socio-political significance of newly arriving Pentecostal Christians in the Muslim majority setting of Zanzibar. This work analyzes how a disputed political partnership between Zanzibar and Mainland Tanzania intersects with the construction of religious identities. Undertaken at a time of political tensions, the case study of Zanzibar’s largest Pentecostal church, the City Christian Center, outlines religious belonging as relationally filtered in-between experiences of social insecurity, altered minority / majority positions, and spiritual powers. Hans Olsson shows that Pentecostal Christianity, as a signifier of (un)wanted social change, exemplifies contested processes of becoming in Zanzibar that capitalizes on, and creates meaning out of, religious difference and ambient political tensions.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Abbreviations List of Figures Swahili Glossary 1 Introduction  1 Pentecostal Christianity in Africa  2 A Relational Approach  3 Fieldwork 2 The Scene  1 The Swahili Coast, Zanzibar, and Struggles for Belonging  2 Uamsho: Islamic Awakening  3 Christianity in Zanzibar 3 The Migrant  1 The Precarious Search for a Better Life  2 Becoming Saved  3 Salvation and the Good Life 4 The Church  1 The Pastor  2 Spiritual Kin  3 A Vital Participation? 5 The Public  1 The CCC Goes Public  2 Violence  3 The Quest to Make Public 6 The Union  1 Pentecostal Approaches to the Union  2 Christianity, Islam, and the Secular Union  3 The Union and Religious Difference 7 Narratives of Pentecostal (Non-)Belonging  1 Pentecostal Christianity as a Second Culture  2 Temporalities, Shifting Statuses, and the Impact of Mission  3 “Jesus for Zanzibar” Bibliography  Interview List: Members of the City Christian Center  Other Interviews  Sermons  Cited Material

Book SynopsisAdab is a concept situated at the heart of Arabic and Islamic civilisation. Adab is etiquette, ethics, and literature. It is also a creative synthesis, a relationship within a configuration. What became of it, towards modernity ? The question of the "civilising process" (Norbert Elias) helps us reflect on this story. During the modern period, maintaining one's identity while entering into what was termed "civilisation" (al-tamaddun) soon became a leitmotiv. A debate on what was or what should be culture, ethics, and norms in Middle Eastern societies accompanied this evolution. The resilient notion of adab has been in competition with the Salafist focus on mores (akhlāq). Still, humanism, poetry, and transgression are constants in the history of adab.

Book SynopsisWomen, Islam and Familial Intimacy in Colonial South Asia highlights the rich tradition of protest and defiance among the Muslim women of colonial India. Bringing together a range of archival material including novels, pamphlets, commentaries and journalistic essays, it narrates a history of Muslim feminism conversing with, and confronting the dominant and influential narratives of didactic social reform. The book reveals how discussion about marriage and family evoked claims of women’s freedom and rights in a highly charged literary and cultural landscape where lesser-known female intellectuals jostled for public space alongside well-known male social reformers. Definitions of Islamic ethics remained central to these debates, and the book illustrates how claims of social obligation, religious duty and freedom balanced and negotiated each other in a period of nationalism and reform. By doing so, it also illuminates a story of Muslim politics that goes beyond the well-established accounts of Muslim separatism and the Pakistan movement.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Illustrations A Note on Transliteration Introduction 1 Women, Islam and Social Reform 2 Ethics and the Question of Family 3 Urdu Public Sphere 4 Gender and Nationalism 5 Structure of the Book 1 Familial Ethics and the Critique of Social Reform 1 Nineteenth Century Debates on Akhlaq: Ethics as Relationships 2 Reformist Censorship and the Battle for Women’s Voice 3 Fatherhood and Contentious Advice 4 Disruption of Social Reform: ‘Respectability’ as Oppression 5 Parent-child Relations, Rights and Social Authority 6 Conclusion 2 Marital Consent and the Discourse of ‘Women’s Freedom’ 1 Coercive Marriage and the Vision of Compatibility 2 Marital Compatibility as Social Practice 3 Marital Consent in Urdu Magazines 4 Pardah: Seclusion and/ or Participation 5 ‘Women’s Freedom’ 6 Conclusion 3 Conjugal Sexuality and the Politics of Reproduction 1 Bodily Health and Conjugality 2 Masculinity and Global “Anti-Vice” Campaigns 3 Sexual Pleasure, Female Sexual Desire and Reproduction 4 Eugenics and Family 5 Niyaz Fatehpuri: Colonial Knowledge and History of Sexuality 6 Conclusion 4 Polygyny 1 Sexuality and ‘Legitimate Polygyny’ 2 Social Reform and Its Advocacy of ‘Legitimate Polygyny’ 3 Critiques of Polygyny 4 Muslim Women’s Conference, 1918, Lahore 5 Polygynous Marriage of Saiyid ?Abid Husain and Saliha ?Abid Husain 6 Conclusion 5 Marital Annulment and Separation of Family 1 Talaq (Divorce) 2 Divorce and Male Authority 3 Respectability, Equality and Marital Annulment 4 Debating Strategies for Change 5 Women’s Freedom, Female Apostasy and Marriage 6 Two Men on Divorce: Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act of 1939 7 Mahr and the Economy of Marriage 8 Ethical Dilemmas: Non-Legal Familial Conflict 9 Conclusion Postscript 1 Saiyida Bano Ahmad: Intimacy outside Marriage Bibliography Index

The enormous time span from 650 to 2019 provides for a comprehensive and plural canvas of the religious self-presentation of South Asian Muslims. Making use of the latest academic works and historical materials, including first-hand accounts ranging from official statements to poetry, Malik convincingly argues that these texts provide sufficient evidence to arrive at an interpretation of quite a different character. With major and substantial revisions, changes, abridgements and additions follow the academic literature produced during the last decades.Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements List of Illustrations Abbreviations Introduction Part 1: Early Muslim Expansion & Cultural Encounter 1 Muslim Expansion: Trade, Military & the Quest for Political Authority in South Asia (Approx. 700–1300)  Excursus: Historiography & Sources  Annex: al-Baladhuri, al-Biruni 2 Muslim Space & Religious Specialists (Approx. 1000–1300s)  Annex: ʿAli Kufi, al-Hujwiri, Ganj-e Shakar Part 2: The Establishment of Muslim Empires: Between Islamic & Islamicate 3 Slaves, Sultans & Dynasties (Approx. 1000–1400)  Excursus: Shiʿis  Annex: Nizam al-Din Awliya‌ʾ, al-Barani, Chiragh-e Dehli, Amir Khusraw 4 Muslim Heterogeneity: Margins Becoming Centres of Muslim Power (Approx. 1300–1500)  Excursus: Caste  Annex: Hamadani, Maneri, Chakki-nama & Charkha-nama, al-Maʿbari 5 Cultural Integration towards a Politics of Universal Dominion: The Mughals (Approx. 1450–1650)  Excursus: Conversion & Mission  Annex: Gulbadan, ʿAbd al-Hakim, Dabistan-e Madhahib, Badayuni, Dara Shikoh, Sirhindi 6 From Universal Dominion to Principalities (Approx. 1650–1800)  Annex: Zeb al-Nisa, Wali Allah, ʿAbd al-Latif, Bullhe Shah Part 3: Territorial States & Colonial Rule: Accommodation & Differentiation of Muslim Cultures 7 Regional States, National Markets & European Expansion (Approx. 1700–1800)  Excursus: Islamic Endowments  Annex: Shahr-e ashob 8 Cultural Encounter, Reciprocities & Muslim Responses (Approx. 1750–1870)  Annex: Lalon Shah, Shah ʿAbd al-ʿAziz, Shah Ghulam ʿAli 9 From Appropriation to Collision & Colonial Stabilisation (Approx. 1820–1900)  Excursus: The Language Issue—Urdu  Annex: Risala & fatwa 1857; Ghalib, Shahr-e ashob 1857 10 Institutionalisation of Muslim Communities & the Quest for a New Islamicity (Approx. 1860–1900)  Excursus: Gender  Annex: Altaf Hussain “Hali”, Sayyid Ahmad Khan, Shibli Nuʿmani 11 Colonial Reforms, the Khilafat Movement & Muslim Nationalism (ca. 1900–1947)  Excursus: Communalism  Annex: Fatwa-ye Hijrat 1920, Nazrul Islam, Rahmat ʿAli, Rashid Jahan Part 4: Negotiating Muslim Pluralism & Singularity 12 The Muslim Public Divided (Approx. 1930–1960s)  Annex: Madani, Abu al-Kalam Azad, Mawdudi, Naqi Naqwi 13 The Integration of Nation-State & Secession (Approx. 1947–1990s)  Excursus: Islamic Fundamentalism, Political Islam & Post-Islamism  Annex: Bhashani, I.H.

Book SynopsisChristian-Muslim Relations, Volume 15, Thematic Essays (600-1600) is a further volume in a general history of relations between the two faiths from the 7th century to the early 20th century. The chapters within it illustrate the range, complexity, and dynamics of interaction between the two faiths during the first thousand years of encounter. All chapters primarily draw upon entries found in volumes 1-7 of Christian-Muslim Relations. They explore tropes of perception, image and judgement that each religious community held in respect to the other through these centuries, and discuss issues and topics that occupied Christians and Muslims in their interaction. The first millennium sets the scene for the modern era and our understandings of contemporary relations and issues. Contributors are Mark Beaumont, Clinton Bennett, David Bertaina, Ulisse Ceceni, David Bryan Cook, Martha Frederiks, Ayşe İçöz, Sandra Keating, James Harry Morris, Nicholas Morton, Gordon Nickel, Juan Pedro Monferrer Sala, Tom Papademetriou, Gabriel Said Reynolds, Christian Sahner, Mark N. Swanson, Mourad Takawi, Luke Yarbrough.Trade Review[...] 'a thorough thematization and contextualisation of the selected entries is required, which has been done in an exemplary manner in the 15th volume. Certainly, this volume cannot do the complete contextualisation once and for all, but concentrates on certain topics [...]. This means that these contributions are exemplary for further work. The volume is also accompanied by a very practical index, which makes it easier to relate the entries in the previously published volumes 1 to 7 to the contributions in this volume.' [...] the volume makes the complex history of Muslim-Christian relations easy for today’s academics. At the same time, however, it motivates further study of the material, as it offers a contemporary take on the themes and relationships from a millennium of Christian-Muslim relations.' Serkan Ince, Tübingen, in Salzburger Theologische Zeitschrift, (2021) 25.1, pp. 102-106

Book SynopsisKitāb al-mustalḥaq is an addendum to the treatises on Hebrew morphology by Ḥayyūǧ, the most classic of the Andalusi works written during the caliphate of Cordoba and the benchmark for studies of the Hebrew language throughout the Arabic-speaking world during the medieval period. Kitāb al-mustalḥaq was composed in Zaragoza by Ibn Ǧanāḥ after the civil war was unleashed in Cordoba in 1013. This new edition includes an historical introduction, taking account of the major contributions from the twentieth century to the present day, a description of the methodology and contents of this treatise, a description of the manuscripts, and a glossary of terminology.

Book SynopsisIslam at 250: Studies in Memory of G.H.A. Juynboll is a collection of original articles on the state of Islamic sciences and Arabic culture in the early phases of their crystallization. It covers a wide range of intellectual activity in the first three centuries of Islam, such as the study of ḥadīth, the Qurʾān, Arabic language and literature, and history. Individually and taken together, the articles provide important new insights and make an important contribution to scholarship on early Islam. The authors, whose work reflects an affinity with Juynboll's research interests, are all experts in their fields. Pointing to the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and signalling lacunae, their contributions show how scholarship has advanced since Juynboll's days. Contributors: Camilla Adang, Monique Bernards, Léon Buskens, Ahmed El Shamsy, Maribel Fierro, Aisha Geissinger, Geert Jan van Gelder, Claude Gilliot, Robert Gleave, Asma Hilali, Michael Lecker, Scott Lucas, Christopher Melchert, Pavel Pavlovitch, Petra M.

Book SynopsisIn Moroccan Female Religious Agents: Old Practices and New Perspectives, Ouguir studies Moroccan female religious agents in particular historical women saints and Sufis, the way they constructed powerful saintly personalities that challenged the dominant conventional norms, and the way they are received by venerators and feminist Islamist activists of modern Morocco. Through hagiographic and oral narratives, Ouguir examines the techniques religious women followed to achieve ethical self-formation and strong religious personalities that promoted them to leadership. She also examined the venerators’, murshidᾱt and Islamist feminists’ reception of women saints in their discourses. Ouguir states convincingly that Moroccan religious women agents in both Morocco’s past and present are to be highlighted for broader discourses on Muslim women and feminism.Table of ContentsPreface Ix Acknowledgements Notes on Transliteration 1 Introduction: Theories and Concepts  1 A Review  2 Research Design  3 The Conceptual Background 2 Sufism and Gender  1 Moroccan Islam  2 Approaches to Moroccan Islam  3 Sufism in Relation to Gender  4 Women’s Mysticism in Islamic History  5 Islamic Hagiography  6 Moroccan Hagiography  7 Diversity, Hierarchy and Authenticity 3 Moroccan Female Saints  1 The Construction of Sainthood  2 Types of Agency  3 Women Saints: ʿAzīza ʾal-Saksāwiyya (14th Century), ʿĀʾisha ʿal-ʿIdrīsiya (16th Century) and Fāṭima Muhdūz (19th Century) 4 Moroccan Women Venerators’ Reception of Historical Women Saints  1 Devoted Women, Shrines and Saint Veneration  2 Murshidāt and Waʿiḍāt as Religious Agents  3 Murshidāt’s and Wāʿiẓāt’s Reception of Women Saints  4 Murshidāt’s and Wāʿiẓāt’s Attendees 5 Moroccan Feminist Activists’ Reception of Historical Women Saints  1 Moroccan Feminism  2 Islamist Feminist Associations  3 Moroccan Feminist Activists’ Reception of Women Saints  4 Islamist Feminism Conclusion Bibliography Index
