Varieties of Religious Authority
Author: Azyumardi Azra
Publisher: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies
ISBN: 9812309403
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
The twentieth century was a fascinating period of profound political, social and economic changes in Indonesia. These changes contributed to the diversification of the religious landscape and as a result, religious authority was redistributed over an increasing number of actors. Although many Muslims in Indonesia continued to regard the ulama, the traditional religious scholars, as the principle source of religious guidance, religious authority has become more diffused and differentiated over time. The present book consists of contributions which all deal with the multi-facetted and multidimensional topic of religious authority and aim to complement each other. Most papers deal with Indonesia, but two dealing with other countries have been included in order to add a comparative dimension. Amongst the topics dealt with are the different and changing roles of the ulama, the rise and role of Muslim organizations, developments within Islamic education, like the madrasa, and the spread of Salafi ideas in contemporary Indonesia.

Reformation of Islamic Thought
Author: Naṣr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd
Publisher: Amsterdam University Press
ISBN: 905356828X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
After September 11, Islam became nearly synonymous with fundamentalism in the eyes of Western media and literature. However widely held this view may be, it is at odds with Islam’s rich political history. Renowned Egyptian scholar Nasr Abû Zayd here considers the full breadth of contemporary Muslim writings to examine the diverse political, religious, and cultural views that inform discourse in the Islamic world. Reformation of Islamic Thought explores the writings of intellectuals from Egypt to Iran to Indonesia, probing their efforts to expand Islam beyond traditional and legalistic interpretations. Zayd reveals that many Muslim thinkers advocate culturally enlightened Islam with an emphasis on individual faith. He then investigates the extent of these Muslim reformers’ success in generating an authentic renewal of Islamic ideology, asking if such thinkers have escaped the traditionalist trap of presenting a negative image to the West. A fascinating and highly relevant study for our times, Reformation of Islamic Thought is an essential analysis of Islam’s present and future.

Women, the Recited Qur’an, and Islamic Music in Indonesia
Author: Anne Rasmussen
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520255496
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
"Rasmussen has written a classic study of the world of Islamic soundscapes, performances and forms of musical piety in that most complex of societies, Indonesia. With great sensitivity, an alert musical response to players, reciters and audiences, a keen practitioner's ear and eye for subtlety as well as for the complexities of 'noise', she changes common assumptions about Muslim music and, not least, gender in changing Islamic ritual cultures. Her own political awareness and her professional as well as personal relations with women Qu'ran reciters contribute to an exciting an original volume that I recommend to any one exploring the riches of Islamic performances and debates in the contemporary world."—Michael Gilsenan, author of Lords of the Lebanese Marches: Violence and Narrative in an Arab Society

The Intellectual Discourse of Interwar Egypt
Author: Giora Eliraz
Publisher: Israel Academic Press
ISBN: 1885881681
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
At a time when the post-Arab Spring Middle East is permeated with political turmoil, extremism and violence, and the muses are not really heard, Dr. Giora Eliraz invites readers to join a refreshing intellectual journey back in time to the years of interwar Egypt. In his book, The Intellectual Discourse of Interwar Egypt: Globalization of Ideas Amidst Winds of Change, Dr. Eliraz sheds light on a fascinating, colourful chapter in the modern intellectual history of Egypt, a country that has been commonly known as a center of gravity for the Arab world. Indeed, interwar Egypt weathered political storms and severe social and economic problems, as well. Nevertheless, between the two World Wars, Egypt, and Cairo in particular, proved to be a vivid hub of creative intellectual discourse and productivity. This enriching intellectual discourse was largely sustained by the increase of modernization and Westernization that strongly challenged the entire traditional order, beliefs, concepts and values of the Egyptian society. The exuberant discourse of Egyptian intellectuals of the interwar period is examined in this book through several main themes. The first theme examines the challenge of navigating between tradition and change, or the “old” and the “new”, with an emphasis on the imperative of setting up limits for cultural borrowing from the West. The second theme explores the debate on Women’s status and their rights. The debate on this significant subject corresponds with a fast changing political, social and economic reality that enabled women of urban upper and middle-class some access to education and even triggered the emergence of certain feminist voices. The third theme is the debate on linguistic reform, sustained by strong winds of change that also challenged the competence of literary Arabic as medium of communication for modern life. The book’s discussion of these three substantial themes also exposes the reader to the distinctive function played by interwar Egypt as an impressive “peripheral actor” within the arena of the early Western-oriented globalization of ideas. Moreover, examination of these themes also sheds light upon the function of Egypt of the interwar period as a significant, stimulus for a wider Islamic circle of early globalization of ideas, which even included far lands within the Islamic world, as manifested in the book by the intriguing case of the Malay-Indonesian world.

Indonesian Islam
Author: M. Barry Hooker
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 9780824827588
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Indonesian Islam is an important and timely book based on approximately 2,000 fatwâ (pl. fatâwâ)--an opinion on a point of law or dogma given by a person with recognized authority (ijâza)--demonstrating that classical Islamic reasoning is an alternative to state-defined Islam and is capable of dealing with contemporary challenges in ethics and morality in a consistent and rational way. The book provides a comprehensive survey of how modern Indonesian Islamic thinking has responded to changes in social practices since the 1920s, and how authorities have ruled on diverse subjects ranging from football pools to land sales and milk banks. The author examines in detail the development and nuances of Islamic thinking, both by reference to local tradition and comparatively, by reference to the classical Arabian texts, therefore providing an important contribution to deepening popular understanding of Islam in Indonesia. The author's detailed analysis of fatwâ is unprecedented in the study of Indonesian Islam. To date there is no comparable analysis of modern fatwâ available in book form anywhere in the world, making this volume an invaluable resource for anyone who studies Indonesia. Professor Hooker describes the fatwâ as method and doctrine, religious duty, the status and obligation of women, Islam and medical science, offences against religion, and issues specific to Indonesian Islam. Responses to fatwâ cover such contemporary issues as abortion, organ transplants, insurance, and the status of women. For sale in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand by NUS Press (Singapore)
