The Muslim communities of Southeast Asia are diverse, complex and
increasingly influential in the broader Islamic world. However, the
extraordinary breadth of practices and views across the Muslim
world is not widely understood outside the region, often because of
the difficulty of locating and putting in context the material
produced by Muslims themselves. This is the first sourcebook to
present a wide selection of contemporary materials on Islam in
Southeast Asia, most of which have not previously been available in
English. The material covers six broad themes: personal expressions
of faith; Islamic law; state and governance; women and family;
jihad; and interactions with non-Muslims and the wider Muslim
world. The book looks at the ideological and doctrinal content of
Islam in Southeast Asia in all its facets, while also exploring the
motivations underlying different interpretations and viewpoints.
This is an essential book for anyone seeking to understand the
concerns, language and objectives of the main Muslim groups in
Southeast Asia.
