Muslim historians and geographers have studied it, and countless pilgrims and travelers--many of them European Christians in disguise--have left behind lively and well-publicized accounts of life in Mecca and its associated shrine-city of Medina, where the Prophet lies buried. The stories of all these figures, holy men and heathens alike, come together in this book to offer a remarkably revealing literary portrait of the city's traditions and urban life and of the surrounding area. Closely following the publication of F. E. Peters's \u003ci\u003eThe Hajj\u003c\/i\u003e (Princeton, 1994), which describes the perilous pilgrimage itself from the travelers' perspectives, this collection of writings and commentary completes the historical travelogue. The accounts begin with the Muslims themselves, in the patriarchal age of Abraham and Ishmael, and trace the sometimes glorious and sometimes sad history of Islam's central shrine down to the last Grand Sharif of Mecca, Husayn ibn Ali, whose fragile kingdom was overtaken by the House of Sa`ud in 1926. Because of chronic flooding and constant rebuilding, there is little or no material evidence for the early history of Islam's holy cities. By assembling, analyzing, and fashioning these literary accounts of Mecca, however, Peters supplies us with a vivid sense of place and human interaction, much as he did in his widely acclaimed \u003ci\u003eJerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e (Princeton, 1985).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1994.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePrinceton Legacy Library\u003c\/b\u003e uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

This belief, she maintains, led to a critical approach to the Bible, which scrutinized its text as well as its ways of transmission. In their approach Muslim authors drew on pre-Islamic pagan, Gnostic, and other sectarian writings as well as on Rabbinic and Christian sources. Elements of this criticism may have later influenced Western thinkers and helped shape early modern Bible scholarship. Nevertheless, Muslims also took the Bible to predict the coming of Muhammad and the rise of Islam. They seem to have used mainly oral Arabic translations of the Hebrew Bible and recorded some lost Jewish interpretations.

This book helps account for the increasingly visible public role of traditionally educated Muslim religious scholars (the `ulama) across contemporary Muslim societies. Muhammad Qasim Zaman describes the transformations the centuries-old culture and tradition of the `ulama have undergone in the modern era--transformations that underlie the new religious and political activism of these scholars. In doing so, it provides a new foundation for the comparative study of Islam, politics, and religious change in the contemporary world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While focusing primarily on Pakistan, Zaman takes a broad approach that considers the Taliban and the `ulama of Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, and the southern Philippines. He shows how their religious and political discourses have evolved in often unexpected but mutually reinforcing ways to redefine and enlarge the roles the `ulama play in society. Their discourses are informed by a longstanding religious tradition, of which they see themselves as the custodians. But these discourses are equally shaped by--and contribute in significant ways to--contemporary debates in the Muslim public sphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book offers the first sustained comparative perspective on the `ulama and their increasingly crucial religious and political activism.

Introducing previously unexamined facets of religious and political thought in modern Islam, it clarifies the complex processes of religious change unfolding in the contemporary Muslim world and goes a long way toward explaining their vast social and political ramifications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46155302437041,"sku":"9780691130705","price":60.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46155302469809,"sku":"2cf39f6c-bdf9-346e-9438-17cc89ee4a6b","price":48.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_be135ec6-ce47-4cd6-90f6-e411609d3d25.jpg?v=1763635928"},{"product_id":"theodicy-in-islamic-thought","title":"Theodicy in Islamic Thought: The Dispute Over Al-Ghazali's Best of All Possible Worlds","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first detailed study of Islamic theodicy, the book points out distinctively Islamic formulations and solutions of the problem of the best of all possible worlds\" and shows where they coincide with Western versions, such as that of Leibniz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1984.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePrinceton Legacy Library\u003c\/b\u003e uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

This work pays considerable attention to two giants of American literature, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman, who found much inspiration from the Sufi ideas they encountered.

Sufism's broad-minded traditions of philosophy, poetry, and spiritual practice infused Islamic civilization for centuries and drew the attention of interested Westerners. By the early twentieth century, Sufism was being practiced in North America. Today's North American Sufism can appear either explicitly Islamic or seemingly devoid of Islamic religiosity. Dickson provides indispensable background on Sufism's relation to Islamic orthodoxy and to Western esoteric traditions, and its historical development in North America. The book goes on to chart the directions that North American Sufism is currently taking, directions largely chosen by Sufi leaders. The views of ten North American Sufi leaders are explored in depth and their perspectives on Islam, authority, gender, and tradition are put in conversation with one another. A more detailed picture of North American Sufism emerges, challenging previous scholarly classifications of Sufi groups, and highlighting Sufism's fluidity, diversity, and dynamism.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46156363366577,"sku":"9781438457567","price":48.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46156363399345,"sku":"9781438457574","price":135.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46156363432113,"sku":"b9e150db-7588-3363-ad49-9f2b71ffe7c1","price":40.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_f6b76d1d-bd0e-4198-b233-ead2bc2fda60.jpg?v=1763192824"},{"product_id":"good-muslim-bad-muslim","title":"Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror","description":"\u003cb\u003eDistinguished political scientist and anthropologist Mahmood Mamdani, father of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, offers an “exceptionally clear [and] especially shocking” (\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e) examination of political Islam, the factors that led to 9\/11, and the global repercussions on Muslims everywhere.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“This provocative and thoughtful inquiry is a valuable contribution to the understanding of some of the most important developments in the contemporary era.”—Noam Chomsky\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGood Muslim, Bad Muslim\u003c\/i\u003e, Mahmood Mamdani brings his expertise and insight to\u003cbr\u003ea question many Americans have been asking since 9\/11: how did this happen?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMamdani dispels the idea of “good” (secular, westernized) and “bad” (premodern, fanatical) Muslims, pointing out that these judgments refer to political rather than cultural or religious identities.
