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.
