... a welcome addition to the already available introductory works
on Islam. The chapters of the book combine depth of analysis and
erudition on a wide range of subjects. Thus in a single volume one
finds several superbly written papers not only on the foundations
of Islam and the manifestations of Islamic culture but also on
issues which are at the centre of contemporary debates among
Muslims such as multiculturalism, social justice, democracy and
diversity. As a sourcebook this work is equally useful for
students, academicians and general readers' - Zafar Ishaq Ansari,
Director, Islamic Research Institute, International Islamic
University Islamic Studies is at a critical moment in its history.
It seeks both to maintain its rich history and to engage with other
- sometimes dominant - cultural and political studies. This tension
is producing complex changes in both the theory and the practice of
Islamic Studies. This timely and stimulating Handbook, edited by
world-class experts in the field, provides a comprehensive guide to
Islamic Studies today. It examines the main issues in the field and
explores the key debates. It provides readers with an
indispensable, balanced guide to the roots of Islam and the
challenges it faces in the twenty-first century. The Handbook
includes discussions of: - Islam as a community of discourse and a
global system - Islam, diaspora and multiculturalism - The Qu'ran
today - Islam as a moral and judicial system - Islam and politics -
Islam and culture - Diversities and Islam Concise, level-headed and
penetrating, this collection will be of interest to anyone who
studies contemporary Islam. It brings together an unparalleled
collection of international scholars who illuminate some of the
most urgent and complex issues in the world today.
