In Fundamentalism and Secularization, Egyptian philosopher Mourad
Wahba traces the historical origins of fundamentalism and
secularization as ideas and practices in order to theorize their
symbiotic relationship, and how it is impacted by global capitalism
and, more recently, postmodernism. This gives voice to an argument
from within the Islamic world that is very different to that given
platform in the mainstream, showing that fundamentalism does not
arise normally and naturally from Islam but is a complex phenomenon
linked to modernization and the development of capitalism in
dependent countries, that is, tied to imperialism. Wahba's central
argument concerns the organic relationship between fundamentalism
and parasitic capitalism. Wahba is equally critical of religious
fundamentalism and global capitalism, which for him are
obstructions to secularization and democracy. While the three
Abrahamic religions are examined when it comes to fundamentalism,
Wahba deconstructs Islamic fundamentalism in particular and in the
process reconstructs an Islamic humanism. Including a new preface
by the author and translator, Fundamentalism and Secularism
provides invaluable insights into how Middle Eastern philosophies
open up new lines of thought in thinking through contemporary
crises.

RECAP: key content from the Student Book is condensed and

have just revised to build the knowledge and evaluative skills
needed for the exams. 3. REVIEW: regular opportunities to practice
exam questions and review answers direct students to pinpoint any
areas of weakness in knowledge or skills, identifying where they'll
need to concentrate their efforts for further revision. This
Revision Guide covers Catholic Christianity, Islam, Judaism and
Thematic Studies. With all the essential content condensed and made
memorable, and plenty of exam practice, tips and annotated sample
answers, students can feel confidently prepared.

neighbours, Safa will realise how wonderful it is to make others
happy...and will want to make it up to Alissa. After all, what

Studying the Qur'an in the Muslim Academy examines what it is like
to study and teach the Qur'an at academic institutions in the
Muslim world, and how politics affect scholarly interpretations of
the text. Guided by the author's own journey as a student,
university lecturer, and researcher in Iran, Malaysia, and New
Zealand, this book provides vivid accounts of the complex academic
politics he encountered. Majid Daneshgar describes the selective
translation and editing of Edward Said's classic work Orientalism
into various Islamic languages, and the way Said's work is
weaponized to question the credibility of contemporary
Western-produced scholarship in Islamic studies. Daneshgar also
examines networks of journals, research centers, and universities
in both Sunni and Shia contexts, and looks at examples of Quranic
interpretation there. Ultimately, he offers a constructive program
for enriching Islamic studies by fusing the best of Western
theories with the best philological practices developed in Muslim
academic contexts, aimed at encouraging respectful but critical
engagement with the Qur'an.

This book demonstrates why and how it is necessary to redesign
Islamic Education curriculum in the K-12 sector globally. From
Western public schools that integrate Muslim perspectives to be
culturally responsive, to public and private schools in Muslim
minority and majority contexts that teach Islamic studies as a core
subject or teach from an Islamic perspective, the volume highlights
the unique global and sociocultural contexts that support the
disparate trajectories of Islamic Education curricula. Divided into
three distinct parts, the text discusses current Islamic education
curricula and considers new areas for inclusion as part of a
general renewal effort that includes developing curricula from an
Islamic worldview, and the current aspirations of Islamic education
globally. By providing insights on key concepts related to teaching
Islam, case studies of curriculum achievements and pitfalls, and
suggested processes and pillars for curriculum development,
contributors present possibilities for researchers and educators to
think about teaching Islam differently. This text will benefit
researchers, doctoral students, and academics in the fields of
secondary education, Islamic education, and curriculum studies.
Those interested in religious education as well as the sociology
and theory of religion more broadly will also enjoy this volume.
