The sacred and the revered, the divine and the musealised, relics
have long been integral to Islamic practice. Wahhabisation has cast
a modernist spectre over celebrated traditions such as the visiting
of shrines and pilgrimages to the birthplaces of beloved religious
figures, yet these rituals continue to thrive. In this issue of
Critical Muslim, we look at footprints ascribed to the Prophet
Muhammad, to Adam and to Jesus. We pay our respects to Sufi saints,
who may or may not be Islamicised versions of the Buddha, and we
ask whether tradition is nothing more than a relic of times gone
by. About Critical Muslim: A quarterly publication of ideas and
issues showcasing groundbreaking thinking on Islam and what it
means to be a Muslim in a rapidly changing, interconnected world.
Each edition centers on a discrete theme, and contributions include
reportage, academic analysis, cultural commentary, photography,
poetry, and book reviews.
