  • The Destruction of Religious and Cultural Sites I. Introduction The
    Mapping the Saudi State, Chapter 7: The Destruction of Religious and Cultural Sites I. Introduction The Ministry for Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da’wah, and Guidance, commonly abbreviated to the Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MOIA), supervises and regulates religious activity in Saudi Arabia. Whereas the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV) directly enforces religious law, as seen in Mapping the Saudi State, Chapter 1,1 the MOIA is responsible for the administration of broader religious services. According to the MOIA, its primary duties include overseeing the coordination of Islamic societies and organizations, the appointment of clergy, and the maintenance and construction of mosques.2 Yet, despite its official mission to “preserve Islamic values” and protect mosques “in a manner that fits their sacred status,”3 the MOIA is complicit in a longstanding government campaign against the peninsula’s traditional heritage – Islamic or otherwise. Since 1925, the Al Saud family has overseen the destruction of tombs, mosques, and historical artifacts in Jeddah, Medina, Mecca, al-Khobar, Awamiyah, and Jabal al-Uhud. According to the Islamic Heritage Research Foundation, between just 1985 and 2014 – through the MOIA’s founding in 1993 –the government demolished 98% of the religious and historical sites located in Saudi Arabia.4 The MOIA’s seemingly contradictory role in the destruction of Islamic holy places, commentators suggest, is actually the byproduct of an equally incongruous alliance between the forces of Wahhabism and commercialism.5 Compelled to acknowledge larger demographic and economic trends in Saudi Arabia – rapid population growth, increased urbanization, and declining oil revenues chief among them6 – the government has increasingly worked to satisfy both the Wahhabi religious establishment and the kingdom’s financial elite.

  • Muslim Women's Pilgrimage to Mecca and Beyond
    Muslim Women’s Pilgrimage to Mecca and Beyond This book investigates female Muslims pilgrimage practices and how these relate to women’s mobility, social relations, identities, and the power struc- tures that shape women’s lives. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines and regional expertise, it offers in-depth investigation of the gendered dimensions of Muslim pilgrimage and the life-worlds of female pilgrims. With a variety of case studies, the contributors explore the expe- riences of female pilgrims to Mecca and other pilgrimage sites, and how these are embedded in historical and current contexts of globalisation and transnational mobility. This volume will be relevant to a broad audience of researchers across pilgrimage, gender, religious, and Islamic studies. Marjo Buitelaar is an anthropologist and Professor of Contemporary Islam at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. She is programme-leader of the research project ‘Modern Articulations of Pilgrimage to Mecca’, funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). Manja Stephan-Emmrich is Professor of Transregional Central Asian Stud- ies, with a special focus on Islam and migration, at the Institute for Asian and African Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany, and a socio-cultural anthropologist. She is a Principal Investigator at the Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies (BGSMCS) and co-leader of the research project ‘Women’s Pathways to Professionalization in Mus- lim Asia. Reconfiguring religious knowledge, gender, and connectivity’, which is part of the Shaping Asia network initiative (2020–2023, funded by the German Research Foundation, DFG). Viola Thimm is Professorial Candidate (Habilitandin) at the Institute of Anthropology, University of Heidelberg, Germany.

  • And We Cast Upon His Throne a Mere Body. a Historiographical Reading of Q
    And We cast upon his throne a mere body. A Historiographical Reading of Q. 38:34 M.O. Klar SOAS, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON The Islamic figure of Solomon is presented in four pericopes of the Qur'an, In Sura 21 {al- Anbiyd') reference is made to an episode where David and Solomon give judgement on a ravaged field, followed by details of David's and Solomon's special gifts - for the latter these were the wind that ran at his command, knowledge of everything and demons that worked for him. In Sura 27 (al-Naml) Solomon and David are mentioned with reference to the gift of knowledge God granted them both, and evidence of their gratitude; Solomon says to his men that he understands the speech of the birds and has been given of every- thing; then follows the story of the Valley of the Ants, and the famous episode between Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, which culminates in the Queen submitting to God, The pericope in Sura 34 (Saba') again introduces Solomon through David and gives details of their special gifts, Solomon's being the wind, molten brass and mastery over the jinn. The concealment of Solomon's death from the jinn is referred to. Finally, in Sura 38 (Sad), again after mention of David, we are told that Solomon's horses were paraded before him, he missed the evening prayer and then either smote or stroked (depending on one's choice of interpretation)' their shanks and necks, and, immediately prior to a list of God's gifts to him (the wind and the jinn), there is ref- erence to God trying Solomon, casting a mere body on Solomon's throne, and to Solomon repenting: Q.

  • The Quran, Translation and Controversy
    Fong 1 Celia Fong The Quran, Translation, and Controversy Did you know that Quran has been translated from Arabic into 114 languages (Rana 1)? Did you know that none of these translations are considered the Quran, only translations of the Quran? In any given situation where a text is translated from one language to another, a new, different, text will indubitably be produced. However, this is not to say the meaning or context of the original text is lost. Because of the inherent qualities of translation, the Arabic Quran will always differ from the original text, and invariably be reinterpreted to different ‘versions’ of the Quran. However, this can be said for many texts across the board that have been translated, but are still nominally and contextually considered the original text. Perhaps because the Quran is studied by scholars and worshippers alike, its prophetic meaning is taken to heart while it is simultaneously studied for its historical insights. Although most Arabic speaking Muslims—and most Muslims across the spectrum for that matter—see the Quran as the true Quran only in Arabic, its translations should be embraced with the same connotation as the original version. The Quran is a scripture that strives to perpetuate its relevance and message across languages, cultures, and issues, but most importantly across generations. Although translation implies inherent qualities of alteration, the Quran translated should still hold the same significance as the original Arabic version of the Holy Muslim scripture by virtue of Islam’s fundamental goal to proliferate via the Quran. The Quran itself is ambiguous in nature and contains many vague pronouns not necessarily tied to any particular person, place, or object.

  • The Story of Moses (Part 11 of 12): the Death of Moses
    The Story of Moses (part 11 of 12): The Death of Moses Description: God punishes the idolaters and the death of Moses. By Aisha Stacey (© 2010 IslamReligion.com) Published on 08 Mar 2010 - Last modified on 10 Nov 2013 Category: Articles >Beliefs of Islam > Stories of the Prophets Moses could not believe his eyes, even though God had just warned him that a severe punishment was about to befall his people for worshipping the golden calf. Moses heart was filled with shame and anger. His own people had witnessed the power and majesty of God yet they acted belligerently and without fear of God's punishment. "God said, "Verily! We have tried your people in your absence, and As-Samiri has led them astray." Then Moses returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said, "O my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Did then the promise seem to you long in coming? Or did you desire the Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, so you broke your promise to me (disbelieving in God and worshipping the calf)?" (Quran 20:83-86) Moses turned to his brother Aaron; he was angry and grabbed him by the beard, at the same time he pulled Aaron towards him by the head. He bellowed at his brother demanding that Aaron explain why he disobeyed the instructions he had given him, and why he allowed As Samiri to beguile the Children of Israel. Aaron explained that the people did not listen to him, and were about to kill him.

  • The Samaritans (Al-S Miriyy N) and Some Theological Issues Between Samaritanism and Islam
    The Samaritans (al-S miriyy n) and Some Theological Issues Between Samaritanism and Islam Fehrullah Terkan "A Samaritan is like a full Jew." N. Schur I. INTRODUCTION After a period of classical western perspective of Islam and its holy book, the recently redirected interest of western scholarship in Islam appears under a few categories in terms of variety of approaches to it. Some approaches concern themselves with only theological aspects of Islam; some argue against the authenticity of the Qur‟ānic creed while seemingly accepting the historicity of it. Some others approached this “newfangled” faith by questioning its historicity. This last one is basically a historical standpoint that investigates Islamic origins either through the Islamic sources with „fair‟ criticism, or -harboring significant doubts about them- through non-Islamic sources contemporary to the rise of Islam. Such works try to underline the Jewish and Christian factors in the development of Islam, while others prefer to see it as a heresy of the former. Few scholars attempt to better understand the nature of this new religion by studying its historical and cultural background as well as the internal dynamics. Some scholars utter the fact that the volume of the extra-Islamic sources at the time of Islamic emergence is not that sufficient to reconstruct the Islamic history.1 1 For example, F. Donner states that the majority of them are “neither contemporary with the events nor consistent in what they say.” F. M. Donner, Narratives of Islamic Origins (Princeton: Darwin Press, 1997), 3: Donner classifies those who think that non-Islamic sources should be taken as a basis to do such a reconstruction under the category of revisionists.
