This volume traces the second great expansion of the Islamic world
eastwards from the eleventh century to the eighteenth. As the faith
crossed cultural boundaries, the trader and the mystic became as
important as the soldier and the administrator. Distinctive Islamic
idioms began to emerge from other great linguistic traditions apart
from Arabic, especially in Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Swahili, Malay
and Chinese. The Islamic world transformed and absorbed new
influences. As the essays in this collection demonstrate, three
major features distinguish the time and place from both earlier and
modern experiences of Islam. Firstly, the steppe tribal peoples of
central Asia had a decisive impact on the Islamic lands. Secondly,
Islam expanded along the trade routes of the Indian Ocean and the
South China Sea. Thirdly, Islam interacted with Asian spirituality,
including Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Taoism and Shamanism. It was
during this period that Islam became a truly world religion.
