Becoming a Genuine Muslim Kierkegaard and Muhammad Iqbal

Becoming a Genuine Muslim Kierkegaard and Muhammad Iqbal

Despite the apparent lack of any cultural and religious connection between Kierkegaard and Iqbal their philosophical and religious concerns and their methods of dealing with these concerns show certain parallels. This book provides a Kierkegaardian reading of Muhammad Iqbal’s idea of becoming a genuine Muslim. It reflects on the parallels between the philosophical approaches of Kierkegaard and Iqbal and argues that though there are certain parallels between their approaches there is a significant difference between their philosophical stances. Kierkegaard was concerned with developing an existential dialectics; Iqbal however focused mostly on the identification of the problems of the modern Muslim world. As a result Iqbal’s idea of becoming a genuine Muslim – the practical aspect of his thought and one of the most central issues of his philosophy – seems to be unclear and even contradictory at points. This book therefore uses the parallels between the two philosophers' endeavours and the notions developed by Kierkegaard to provide a strong hermeneutical tool for clarifying where the significance of Iqbal’s idea of becoming a Muslim lies. By bringing together two philosophers from different cultural traditional and religious backgrounds this book will appeal to students and scholars of Comparative Politics Contemporary Islamic Philosophy and the Philosophy of Religion. | Becoming a Genuine Muslim Kierkegaard and Muhammad Iqbal

Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad

Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad

Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad compares the evolution of several cities in the Near East from the time of Alexander the Great until the beginning of the Islamic 'Abbasid Dynasty. This volume examines both archaeological remains and literary sources to explain the diversity of imperial cultural and religious influences on urban life. It offers several case studies chosen from different regions of the Roman Near East demonstrating that Greco-Roman and Islamic culture spread unevenly through these various cities and that it is impossible to make broad generalizations. It argues instead that there were different patterns of urbanism that demonstrate a continued vitality of civic life up to the 'Abbasid revolution. Near Eastern Cities from Alexander to the Successors of Muhammad will be of particular interest to students of this period in the Ancient Near East as well as those studying ancient cities and everyday life.

Islam as Power Shi‛i Revivalism in the Oeuvre of Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah

Islam as Power Shi‛i Revivalism in the Oeuvre of Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah

Providing an in-depth and extensive analysis of the concept of power as articulated by Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah (1935–2010) this case study analyses the systemic conceptualisation of power and his argumentation of sacralising Islamised power. The volume also offers a quick overview of how the concept was understood and articulated by other Shi‛ite jurists such as Ayatollah Khomeini. Examining Fadlallah’s oeuvre in particular his seminal book Islam and the Logic of Power [ al-Islam wa-mantiq al-quwwa ] this book focuses on the narrative itself which played a central role in the radical transformation that occurred in the Shi‛te concept of empowerment and its recognition as a necessity. The analysis of Fadlallah’s conceptualisation and argumentation illustrates the mechanism of sacralising righteous power as well as the means of gaining it. Fadlallah reinterpreted Shi‛sm as a project of empowerment to initiate and sustain an “impulse of power” amongst the Lebanese Shi‛tes in the most critical moment of modern Lebanese history. Dealing with the concept of power in Shi‛te political thought from a theoretical perspective the study has an innovative approach that offers an insight into how the transformative narrative is constructed and what makes it convincing. Shedding light on the content and logical structure of Fadlallah’s argumentation this volume will be of interest to scholars and students researching contemporary politics Islam and the Middle East. | Islam as Power Shi‛i Revivalism in the Oeuvre of Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah

The Book of the Jihad of 'Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) Text Translation and Commentary

The Book of the Jihad of 'Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) Text Translation and Commentary

In 1105 six years after the first crusaders from Europe conquered Jerusalem a Damascene Muslim jurisprudent named ’Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) publicly dictated an extended call to the military jihad (holy war) against the European invaders. Entitled Kitab al-Jihad (The Book of the Jihad) al-Sulami’s work both summoned his Muslim brethren to the jihad and instructed them in the manner in which it ought to be conducted covering topics as diverse as who should fight and be fought treatment of prisoners and plunder and the need for participants to fight their own inner sinfulness before turning their efforts against the enemy. Al-Sulami’s text is vital for a complete understanding of the Muslim reaction to the crusades providing the reader with the first contemporary record of Muslim preaching against the crusaders. However until recently only a small part of the text has been studied by modern scholars as it has remained for the most part an unedited manuscript. In this book Niall Christie provides a complete edition and the first full English translation of the extant sections (parts 2 8 9 and 12) of the manuscript of al-Sulami’s work making it fully available to modern readers for the first time. These are accompanied by an introductory study exploring the techniques that the author uses to motivate his audience the precedents that influenced his work and possible directions for future study of the text. In addition an appendix provides translations of jihad sermons by Ibn Nubata al-Fariqi (d. 985) a preacher from Asia Minor whose rhetorical style was highly influential in the development of al-Sulami’s work. | The Book of the Jihad of 'Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) Text Translation and Commentary
