Šihāb Ad-Din Aḥmad b. Yahya At-Tilmsānī, known as Ibn Abī Ḥaǧala, was an important figure in the late Mamluk era and became the favourite poet at the court of Sulṭān Ḥasan b. Muḥammad bin Qalāwūn. One of his most important books is the Sukkardān as-Sulṭān, which mirrors the cultural and literary sphere of the reign of Sulṭān Ḥasan and the late Mamluk period in Egypt and the Levant.

Due to the long presence of Muslims in Islamic territories and of Muslim minorities in the Christian parts, the Iberian Peninsula provides a fertile soil for the study of the Qur’an and Qur’an translations made by Muslims and Christians. From the mid-12 century to the end of the 17, the efforts undertaken by Christians and Muslims to transmit, interpret and translate the Holy Book are of importance for the understanding of Islam in Europe.

This volume explores and calls into question certain commonly held assumptions about the nature of writing and technological advancement in the Islamic tradition. In particular, it challenges the idea that mechanical print naturally and inevitably displaces handwritten texts as well as the notion that the so-called transition from manuscript to print is unidirectional.

Koran-Philologie, die im heutigen Streit um die Zugehörigkeit des Islam zur europäischen Kulturgeschichte immer wieder in den Zeugenstand gerufen wird, steht vor einer herausfordernden Aufgabe. Gefordert ist nicht weniger als eine „politische, eine sich ihrer sozialen Einbindung bewusste Philologie“. Kann Philologie aber überhaupt politisch sein?

This book evolves around the transmission of knowledge in the Arabic-Islamic premodern culture. It shows that societies in different regions did not remain isolated and indifferent to the literary, religious or scientific creations that were developed in other territories and that the flow of ideas did not occur in only one direction. Contacts are never incidental or marginal, but rather the true engine of the evolution of knowledge and creation.

The book examines the religious thought of the Syrian poet Abū l- ʿAlā al-Maʿarrī (d.1057) and his work Luzūm mā lā yalzam. Due to the contradictory nature of al- Maʿarrī’s oeuvre, scholars presented him as an unbeliever who practiced taqīya, i.e., dissimulation to avoid persecution or saw him as a sincere Muslim. This study goes beyond dichotomic interpretations by applying the notion of ambivalence to the reading of Luzūm.

Melchert identifies three stages in the development of early Islamic piety. As the conquest period wound down in the early eighth century, renunciants spent nights weeping, reciting the Qur’an, and performing supererogatory ritual prayers. Later in the century, as Muslims became the majority population, outward austerity came under attack. Finally, in the later ninth century, a form of Sufism emerged that would accommodate all the believers.

Die Studie beleuchtet die Hintergründe tatarischer Raubüberfälle auf die südöstlichen Provinzen Polen-Litauens im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert und versucht dabei überkommene Vorstellungen von den Tataren des Schwarzmeerraums als Gewaltakteure zu dekonstruieren. Im Fokus stehen administrative, diplomatische und ökonomische Praktiken wie auch dynastisch-aristokratische Spannungsfelder und deren Einbettung in einen weiteren geopolitischen Kontext.
This study examines the complex backgrounds of Tatar raids on the southeastern provinces of Poland-Lithuania in the 16th and 17th centuries while aiming at deconstructing antiquated, oversimplified imaginations of Black Sea Tatar cross-border violence. Next to administrative, diplomatic, and economic practices it focusses on dynastic and aristocratic conflict against the backdrop of a wider geopolitical context.

Die Vorstellung, dass die Welt aus sich selber erklärbar sei, ist für das europäische Denken eine Selbstverständlichkeit, die die Deutung des Menschseins einschließt. Anders im Islam: Der Koran verkündet Allah als den einen niemals ruhenden Gestalter des Kosmos und des Schicksals des Menschen. Anhand von zahlreichen Quellen legt der Autor dar, wie diese Glaubenswahrheit in der Geschichte des islamischen Menschenverständnisses interpretiert wurde.

The idea that the world can be explained on the basis of itself is self-evident in European thinking and includes interpretations of being human. In Islam, it is different. The Quran announces Allah as the unremitting creator of the cosmos and human fate. By looking at numerous sources, the author shows how this truth of faith has been interpreted in the history of the Islamic understanding of the human.

Im Kosmos, der nach islamischer Glaubenslehre ununterbrochen durch Allah geschaffen wird, verhält man sich am besten, wenn man auf alle ichbezogenen Regungen verzichtet und zum Gottesfreund wird. Was das für den Einzelnen und für die Gesellschaft bedeutet, wird anhand der Schriften ʿAbd al-Wahhāb aš-Šaʿrānīs analysiert. So entsteht ein einzigartiges Bild muslimischer Weltdeutung und Daseinsbewältigung, dessen Grundzüge bis heute gültig sind.

The best way to behave in the cosmos, which according to the Islamic doctrine of faith was created all at once by Allah, is by renouncing all selfish impulses and becoming friends with God. This volume analyzes what this means for both the individual and society by looking at the writings of Abd al-Wahhab aš-Šarn. It paints a unique picture of the Muslim worldview and method of coping with existence, the principles of which still apply today.

Recentering the Sufi Shrine is a study of ritual, Sufi eschatology, and vernacular theopoetics of pilgrimage to Sufi shrines in the Indus region of Pakistan. It is the first work examining the legal theology of ritual intervention in using scripture to regulate the resurrected bodies of saints, on the one hand, and the ritual metaphysics of presence in understanding the significance and meaning of Sufi shrines, on the other.

Es äußern sich jeweils einzelne intellektuelle Denker, die zwar miteinander kooperieren, indem sie gewisse Grundlinien gemeinsam verfolgen, jedoch hauptsächlich unabhängig voneinander forschen.

Even if classifying modern developments in Islamic theology can seem difficult, models of rational thought in the modern period can be divided up into three sub-fields: new Kalam scholarship, philosophical thinking, and human rights.

Die Berufung auf „Islamische Tradition“ ist in der allgemeinen Öffentlichkeit wie auch in wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen allgegenwärtig. Was eine islamische Tradition ausmacht, wird bisher jedoch nur wenig bedacht. Die Arbeit unternimmt den Versuch, eine traditionstheoretische Fundierung islamischer Tradition vorzustellen, um im Anschluss daran zu fragen, wie dieses Verständnis Perspektiven für eine islamische Diskurstheologie eröffnen kann.

References to “Islamic tradition” are omnipresent in the general public sphere and in scholarship. However, there has not been much consideration of what actually constitutes Islamic tradition.

Travel narratives and historical works shaped the perception of Muslims and the East in the Victorian and post-Victorian periods. The book discusses that troubled legacy drawing on the discourses on Muslims originating in the European Middle Ages, and locates the nineteenth-century texts concerning the Saracens and their lands in the liminal space between history and travel accounts.

This edited volume fills a gap in the research on place, product and personal branding in the Middle East and North Africa. It critically analyses processes of strategic communication and image building under conditions of globalisation, neoliberalisation and authoritarian rule. It looks at historical and contemporary branding efforts of different actors involved, their interests and motives and at the positioning of brands in time and space.

Die mit Jaques Lacan erweiterte Diskursanalyse untersucht hermeneutisch (und weniger quantitativ) narrative und emotionale Korrespondenzen zwischen deutschen und israelischen Medien. Drei ausgewählte Medienkunstprojekte, welche Stereotypisierungen des Muslimischen aufgreifen, öffnen den Blick durch „narrative Rückspiegelungen“ im Sinne einer „emotionalen Argumentation“ auf diskurseigene Widersprüche oder auch Komplexe.
Islamophobie; Medienwissenschaft; Nahostkonflikt; Diskursanalyse
This discourse analysis, which also utilizes the thought of Jacques Lacan, examines hermeneutically (and to a lesser extent quantitatively) narrative and emotional correlations between German and Israeli media. Three selected media art projects that take up stereotypes of Muslims open our eyes to the contradictions and complexes inherent to certain discourses through “narrative reflections” in the sense of “emotional argumentation.”

This book demonstrates the context of the language of the Syrian revolution and its translation into English through three levels of translation. The first explores the context of translations from Arabic into English. The second level sees translation as an act of importation into the dominant discourse. The third, and last, level looks at translation from the margin to the center, represented by activist translations from Arabic into English

#Dialog #Konflikt #Pluralität #Differenz #Multireligiosität
Die Reihe veröffentlicht die Forschungsergebnisse des des gleichnamigen interdisziplinären LOEWE-Schwerpunktes an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt und der Justus-Liebig Universität Gießen. Das Exzellenzprojekt erforscht Prozesse der wechselseitigen Positionierung der drei Religionen vor dem Hintergrund religiös-kultureller Pluralität und Differenz. Es fragt, über welche Ressourcen jüdische, christliche und islamische Traditionen verfügen, um differenten Positionen und Konflikten dialogisch und mit Achtung zu begegnen, und möchte damit einen Beitrag zu den öffentlichen Diskursen über Fundamentalismen, Multireligiosität, Migration, die Begegnung von Religionen und den Umgang mit religiös motivierten Konflikten leisten.
