We will begin with an overview of the discipline of religious studies, with an eye to how Islam has been approached therein. Next we will explore the field of Islamic studies - its history and major contributors, salient theories and debates, methods and sources. A further objective of the course is to provide students with a rudimentary knowledge of major subfields within Islamic Studies, such as those pertaining to the Qur'an and its exegesis, to the life and legacy of Muhammad, to law and legal theory, and to theology and mysticism. A final area of attention will be pedagogy in Islamic studies, the objective here being to help prepare students to teach courses on Islam. Students with Arabic language ability can expect to do work in Arabic primary texts. Course Requirements In-class presentations on readings (approx. 5-6) 48% Term paper (20%) 20% Syllabus project (20%) 20% General preparedness & participation (12%) 12% In-class presentation on select readings Weekly presentations are to include the following: a) a handout (for all students and me) including full bibliographic information, table of contents (TOC), summary for each component of TOC, and a brief assessment of the work – no more than 3 pp b) a brief oral presentation on the above elements – 5-10 min Option 1: Research paper Students with Arabic ability should formulate a project that engages Arabic primary texts within one or more of the classical Islamic studies disciplines (Qur’anic studies/tafsir, ḥadīth studies/isnād criticism, fiqh uṣūl or furū`, taṣawwuf), with topic to be approved by me. Option 2: Review essay / survey of the field If you are not able to work in Arabic primary texts, you may write a review essay of the core secondary literature available on a particular topic of your choice, approved by me.

  • Modern Hadith Studies Between Arabophone and Western Scholarship 09-10 January 2017
    CALL FOR PAPERS Modern Hadith Studies Between Arabophone and Western Scholarship 09-10 January 2017 Organised by: Belal Alabbas, Prof. Christopher Melchert, Dr Nicolai Sinai Pembroke College, University of Oxford Hadith literature is part and parcel of disciplines related to Islam and Muslim societies. At some point during their research scholars are likely to encounter primary sources containing hadith material related to history, law, sociology, or the complex science of kalam. However, hadith studies present two significant challenges. First, the hadith corpus is immense and large parts of it remain insufficiently explored. Second, it has bifurcated the world of Islamicists to a sceptic and a sanguine. Many academic scholars in the Arab world continue to view the study of hadith in Western secular universities as a colonialist project that aims to attack the tenets of Islam. The inverse also holds, whereby scholars in secular universities in the Anglophone view Islamic scholarship on the hadith corpus as biased and uncritical. The absence of proper scholarly interaction between both scholarly communities is deplorable and unnecessary, given that some of their premises, methods, and results actually exhibit significant convergence. This conference therefore invites scholars from Arabophone and Western institutions to discuss current research on the hadith corpus, aiming to bridge the divide between Anglophone and Arabophone research in hadith studies. It is based on the belief that the absence of any engagement of the scholarly communities with one another inhibits any significant methodological convergence. A more sustained dialogue and debate between scholars from various disciplines would bring to light further areas of historiographical and methodological agreement, provide stimuli for further research, and facilitate a mutually beneficial exchange of expertise.

However, this research used a historical approach based on Azra who tells about the welfare of Islamic kingdoms in international trading. It has given the opportunity to the Muslim to make the intellectual trip in the Middle East. The Haramayn becomes the center of hadith since the beginning of the Islamic year. It implicated in the spread of hadith studies in Indonesia which first appeared in the 17th century. The symbol of this period is Nur Ad-Din ar-Ranieri and Abd ar-Rauf as-Sinkili. Sufism is more popular than hadith study. This condition continued into the 19th century. Some Indonesian ulama Muhammad ibn Umar an-Nawawi Banten and Muhammad Mahfuz Termas gave their contribution to hadith studies, through teaching the hadith in Indonesia and the Middle East. They also wrote the hadith books. Keywords: The Network of Hadith, Ulama, Middle East, Trading, Isnad Introduction: The Relationship between Indonesian and Middle East Muslims Muslims in Indonesia have already had a good relationship with those from the Middle East since the early days of Islam.

Prof Dr. Latifah AM Department of Quranic Studies, National University of Malaysia Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n15p550 Abstract The teaching of Islam arrived in Malaysia during the end of 9th century, though historical notes on the study and writing of Hadith literature were not much found except after the 20th century. Besides, reviewing the literature on the topic found that the writings do not describe the hadith development in-depth as well factors due to it. The study therefore, aims to analyse the early stages of hadith development in the Malay Archipelago. Research methods used to examine the exegesis of hadith studies are largely qualitative, and consist of approaches such as historical research and content analyses. Therefore in the interests of validity and reliability, the study provides multiple sources of evidence. These include tape-recorded in-depth interviews with specific researches in particular with an expert educationalist and academician’s affairs in Malaysia.

  • The Current Studies of Muhammad and His Hadith in the West and Indonesia
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 137 International Conference on Qur'an and Hadith Studies (ICQHS 2017) THE CURRENT STUDIES OF MUHAMMAD AND HIS HADITH IN THE WEST AND INDONESIA Muhamad Ali University of California, Riverside USA [email protected]/[email protected] Abstract Journal articles and book chapters have sought to survey the trends in the study of the biography of Muhammad and those in the study of the Hadith within Western and Islamic scholarships. In this paper, I trace briefly recent selected writings in English and in Indonesian on Muhammad and the Hadith for the purpose of presenting some of the main research questions and arguments as well as their sources and approaches. Keywords: Muhammad, hadith, west, Indonesia Introduction: Literature Review, Approach, and Objectives Journal articles and book chapters have sought to survey the trends in the study of the biography of Muhammad and those in the study of the Hadith within Western and Islamic scholarships. One of such chapters traces the Western scholarship on Muhammad, mentioning Maxime Robinson’s Mahomet, W. Montgomery Watt’s Muhammad at Mecca and Muhammad at Medina. The Cambridge Companion to Muhammad represents current trends in the scholarly study of Muhammad’s life and legacy, combining historical- critical analyses of the classical texts and the views and interpretations of the later scholars and Muslim communities in the past and in the present (Brockopp, 2010: 1-10). In a brief article, Adis Duderija seeks to trace the development of the Hadith literature and the concept of the Hadith authenticity as defined by the classical Islamic study of the Hadith (ulum al-hadith) as based on Western scholarship.
