This book explores spirituality across faiths and cultures, and aims to construct interreligious common ground.
Views on political Islam among Australian converts to Islam
Over the past few decades, interest in and conversion to Islam among non-Muslims in the West has been on the rise. There is a view in the scholarly literature that Western converts to Islam are overrepresented in regard to politicized interpretations of the religion, commonly referred to as political Islam or Islamism, and even militancy or jihadism. This article presents the findings of a national survey of Muslim Australians. It focuses on view…
The Concept of a Religiously Ideal Muslim Woman in Two Treatises on the Customs of Bosnian Muslims
The main aim of this article is to examine the construction of a religiously ideal Muslim woman as presented in two sources documenting Bosnian Muslim (Bosniak) customs. The concept of a religiously ideal Muslim woman adopted in this article is based on recent theoretical studies in mainstream Sunnism, which can be arranged into three thematic areas: (i) the nature of female sexuality; (ii) gender segregation and veiling; and (iii) husband-wife d…
The Muslim and religious ‘Other’
How do the primary sources of Islamic teaching, the Qur'an and Sunna (i.e. the living tradition), approach the relationship between the Muslim Self and the religious Other?To begin to answer this question more needs to be said about the environment in which the Qur'anic revelation and the early living tradition unfolded.Even a cursory examination of the nature of the Qur'an as Revelation and its content shows it was organically linked to this con…

Split into three parts, this book places the discussion in its historical context, provides up-to-date case studies and delves into contemporary debate on the subject. This book includes discu…
How progressive, cosmopolitan and social justice-oriented Islam can help overcome sectarianism
Given the increase in Muslim sectarianism over the last decade or so, especially in the Middle East, one would be forgiven for asking whether the idea of Muslims transcending the historical and religious Sunni-Shi’i divides today would ever be possible (even if one is of the view that it is highly desirable)
Contemporary Muslim Male Reformist Thought and Gender Equality Affirmative Interpretations of Islam
A number of recently published studies by reformist-minded Muslim scholars have both questioned the normative nature of and emphasized the need to rethink some of the fundamental assumptions and interpretational models governing traditional Islamic legal theories and ethics. As part of this process they have emphasized the need to develop novel Islamic hermeneutics. One major element in this emergence of novel Islamic hermeneutics is the producti…

Mainstream Sunnism, Salafi-Jihadism and progressive Islam
Given that this exchange takes place in an academic setting I will have to start this rejoinder by pointing out that Alain Gabon is neither an Islamic Studies nor Religious Studies scholar. This is important to keep in mind because, if Gabon was such a scholar, he would realize that much, if not all, of his purported critique, given the nature and aims of my article and all of my relevant scholarship in general, is simply misplaced, to put it mil…
Bilal Philips as a Proponent of Neo-Traditional Salafism and His Significance for Understanding Salafism in the West
This article aims to explain the ideas and the significance of Dr. Bilal Philips, a prominent 'Salafi'preacher, a major proponent of Neo-Traditional Salafism, and how his writings and activities can aid us in understanding the dynamics regarding the nature of Salafism in the West as a discursive tradition with deep roots in the Islamic intellectual history, as well as an element of global Salafi movements. As such, the article focuses primarily o…

Factors Determining Religious Identity Construction among Western-born1 Muslims
The aim of this article is to analyze, on the basis of a particular theoretical approach to identity construction, the factors that shape and help delineate various types of (religious) identity constructions among Western-born generations of Muslims. The author argues that a theoretical framework that combines a socio-cultural use of religion in the construction of group identity with that of scriptural interpretation provides the optimal concep…
Constructing the religious Self and the Other
The discussion on how a contemporary Islamic school of thought, here referred to as neo-traditional Salafism (NTS) constructs the religious Self and the religious Other on the basis of their approach to the interpretation (manhaj) of relevant Qur'an–Sunna textual indicants forms the subject matter of this article. In the first section, NTS thought and its main proponents are defined in relation to how they conceptualize, engage with and interpret…
Progressive Muslims—Defining and Delineating Identities and Ways of Being a Muslim
This article purports to outline some major themes, ideas and values underpinning Progressive Muslim thought and Weltanschauung. The argument is based upon the premise that in defining religious identity one of the most crucial factors to be taken into consideration are the differences in methodological, ontological and epistemological assumptions as we attempt to understand the primary sources of religious knowledge. In the first part of the art…

In order to contextualize the main discussion in the first part of the article, I outline the historical tensions between the study of religion and gender in general. The question of whether the culturally organizing function of gender is to be inevitably link…

The “Islamic State” (is) as Proponent of Neo-ahl ḥadīth Manhaj on Gender Related Issues
It is the aim of this article to examine several gender related practices considered religiously normative by the is and deconstruct the religious justifications behind them. In the analysis I include the practices pertaining to the all-pervasive nature of gender segregation, obligatory nature of the face-veil ( niqāb ) and the institution of concubinage through means of enslavement of ‘pagan’ female war captives. In this context I will argue tha…
Islam and Gender in the Thought of a Critical-Progressive Muslim Scholar-Activist
This article highlights the scholarly contribution of the Iranian-born Muslim scholar-activist Ziba Mir-Hosseini to the academic field of gender and Islam. In the first part, Mir-Hosseini's thought is positioned within the larger processes of the shifting loci of authority and normativity in contemporary Islamic discourses, particularly with reference to the emergence of what will here be termed critical-progressive Muslim scholar-activists.

The Salafi Worldview and the Hermeneutical Limits of Mainstream Sunni Critique of Salafi-Jihadism
The aim of this article is to point to the hermeneutical limits of the critique of mainstream Sunnism vis-a-vis the Salafi-jihadist interpretations with particular reference to the literature produced by the proponents of the IS. The main argument the article makes is that by subscribing to what will be termed a “Salafi worldview,” mainstream Sunnism shares many interpretationally crucial epistemological and methodological mechanisms with those a…
Critical-Progressive Muslim Thought
Many of the contemporary political conflicts in Muslim-majority countries are said to pit modern secularists against the “backward” Islamists. However an important stream of contemporary Muslim thought—critical-progressive Muslim thought—refuses to accept either a hegemony of Western secularism or a hegemony of Islamist fundamentalism. Critical-progressive Muslim scholar-activists are reinterpreting the normative teachings of the Muslim worldview…

Neo-Traditional Salafi Qur'an-Sunnah Hermeneutic and the Construction of a Normative Muslimah Image
The aim of this article is to outline and analyse the delineating features of the Neo-Traditional Salafi model of interpreting Qur'an and Sunnah indicants and the interpretational implications of this model in relation to constructing a "normative" concept of a Muslimah (model for a Muslim woman).

A Case Study of Patriarchy and Slavery
It is the task of this paper to argue that the development of a new Qurʾān-sunna hermeneutic (and therefore Islamic legal theory) which hermeneutically privileges an ethico-religious and purposive approach to a Qurʾānic interpretation (based on ethically objectivist nature of ethical value) has the potential to engender a gender symmetrical Islamic law. In order for this to be achieved, it is argued further, that the hermeneutical importance of t…

The Imperatives of Progressive Islam
With the proliferation of transnational Muslim networks over the last two decades, the religious authority of traditionally educated Muslim scholars, the uluma, has come under increasing scrutiny and disruption. These networks have provided a public space for multiple perspectives on Islam to be voiced, allowing "progressive" Islamic worldviews to flourish alongside more (neo)traditional outlooks. This book brings together the scholarship of lead…

Hospitality in Islam as Based on Cornille's Conditions for Constructive Interreligious Dialogue
This essay employs Catherine Cornille's conditions for a constructive interreligious dialogue theoretical framework with reference to the Islamic tradition as exemplified by the work of Reza Shah-Kazemi, a contemporary proponent of Islamic mysticism and the Islamic branch of religio perennialis. More specifically, it demonstrates how Cornille's "commitment," "interconnection," and "hospitality" conditions for constructive interreligious dialogue …
The Theological Thought of Fazlur Rahman
Reading the book under review has truly taken me down memory lane. Some 20 years ago I encountered the academic study of Islam primarily through reading the books of Professor Fazlur Rahman (including the ‘Serbo-Croatian’ translation of his book Islam) all of which left a deep and indelible impression on me both as a Muslim and as an aspiring academic. In that sense I wish I had myself authored this or a similar book. Generally speaking, Ahmed ap…
