Interpretation and Jurisprudence in Medieval Islam
At the time of his death in 1998, at the age of 47, Norman Calder had become the most widely-discussed scholar in his field. This was largely focused on his monograph, Studies in Early Muslim Jurisprudence (Oxford, 1993), which boldly challenged existing theories about the origins of Islamic Law. The present volume of twenty-one of his articles and book chapters represents the full richness and diversity of Calder's oeuvre, from his initial docto…
The Qur'an and its Interpretative Tradition
The position of the Qur'an as the central symbol and reference point of Islam cannot be disputed. Despite this significance, the academic study of the Qur'an has lagged far behind that of the Bible. In these studies Andrew Rippin reflects upon both the principles and the problems of studying the Qur'an within the discipline of religious studies. He also pursues detailed investigations of the meaning of variants to the text and the history of Musl…

Qur’ans of the Umayyads
Qur’an manuscripts have attracted a good deal of attention from scholars, especiallyin the wake of the spectacular finds in the Great Mosque in Sanaa in1972. Some might suggest that this attention is superfluous or even reflectiveof a willful ignoring of the significance of the scripture’s oral transmissionand a privileging of the written word over the oral. However, careful studiesof these manuscripts tell us many things, such as early Muslim at…
The trace of prostration and other distinguishing bodily marks in the Quran
The mark known as the "trace of prostration" (sīmā) that is mentioned in the Quran is well established in Islam as being a physical blemish on the forehead. Such marks on the forehead are widespread in religious traditions, often denoting community membership and piety. The Quranic instance fits this tendency. The forelock is also a symbol associated with the forehead that the Quran mentions, although that piece of hair carries negative connotati…
Muslim Exegesis of the Bible in Medieval Cairo
(First paragraph) Al-Ṭūfī, a Ḥanbalī jurist, theologian, and exegete, was born around 670/1271-2 in the area of Baghdād and was initially educated there. He moved to Damascus in 704/1304-5 to study with Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328), then to Cairo in 705/1306 to work as a teacher. He was expelled from there in 711/1311 and subsequently lived elsewhere in Egypt, went on the ḥajj in 714/1315, and died in Hebron in 716/1316. His troubles in Cairo appea…
The Transmission of the Variant Readings of the Qurʾān

Approaches to the History of the Interpretation of the Qur’ān
In recent years, the Qur'ān has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafsīr, remains a vast, virtually untapped field of investigation. Many Muslims tend to ignore the material, seeing it as a storehouse of traditional restraints, and scholars frequently gloss over its importance as a historical record of the Muslim community, not appreciating th…

Islam in the eyes of the West
From the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, in New York to the Madrid and London bombings of 2004 and 2005, the presence of Muslim communities in the West has generated security issues and major political concern. Governments, the media, and the general public have raised questions regarding potential links between Western Muslims, radical islam and terrorism. This speculation has given rise to popular myths concerning the Islamic world and…

Islam in the Eyes of the West
Encyclopedia of Women & Islamic Cultures
An encyclopedia is popularly thought of as presenting the sum of all knowledge,whether it be universal or on a specific topic. A moment’s reflectionreveals, of course, that such an understanding does not quite get at the realconcept, for there is no such thing as “all knowledge.” The historicalmomentwill always define the extent of the knowledge that is available. The structuralterms within which that knowledge is constructed – its headings andsu…
The Taqwacores
Novels are ideal vehicles for learning and teaching about the situation ofmodern Islam. The narrative form facilitates the reader’s understanding thatthe pressing questions of contemporary religion are ones faced by humanactors in their individual day-to-day lives and cannot (and should not) be generalizedto all believers in a given faith everywhere. My own favorite in manyyears of teaching Islam in the context of an introductory course on “weste…
The Muslim Samson
The biblical figure of Samson (Judges 13: 1-16: 31) is not mentioned by name in the Quran. He was, however, incorporated by medieval Muslims such as al-Ṭabarī and Tha'labī into the quranic prophetic world. How and why that was accomplished is the initial focus of this paper. While the medieval ability to find Samson in the text of scripture was admittedly limited, the attempt does illustrate the process of fitting scripture into a pre-existing wo…
The function of asbāb al-nuzūl in Qur'ānic exegesis
In John Wansbrough's work, Quranic studies: sources and methods of scriptural interpretation, several theses are put forth regarding the material known as asbāb al-nuzūl, occasions of revelation; the overall view of Wansbrough is one which is derived (critically) from al-Suyūṭī, which is that the asbāb material has its primary reference point in works devoted to deriving law from the text of the Qur'ān, that is, halakhic works. He suggests that t…

Textual Sources for the Study of Islam
[This collection] is distinguished by its wide range and the care which has clearly gone into the selection of texts for inclusion. . . . Attention has understandably been focused on what might be called the religious aspects of Islam, such as scripture, theology, sects, law, ritual and mysticism, but within those limits the texts chosen are marked by substantially of content, by geographical, chronological and social diversity, and by an intelli…
Al-Zuhrī, Naskh al-Qur'ān and the problem of early Tafsīr texts
While interest in early exegetical works concerned with the Qur'ān has certainly increased in the last few decades, no clear consensus seems to have emerged concerning how to establish the genesis of a supposedly early text. The basic problem to be faced is whether the texts we have today are compilations extracted from later works and then put in the name of a single, early authority or whether they are genuinely transmitted works from early tea…

The exegetical genre asbāb al-nuzūl
Thus Ḥājjī Khalīfa, the Ottoman bibliographer of the eleventh/seventeenth century, introduces his listing of books contained within the genre of exegetical literature connected to the Qur'ān entitled asbāb al-nuzūl. That account of the genre has barely been exceeded in more recent scholarship. Ignaz Goldziher in his Die Richtungen der islamischen Koranauslegung finds occasion only once to mention the 'classic' work of the type, that by al-Wāḥidī …
Ibn 'Abbās's Gharīb al-Qur'ān
In a previous article discussing the text entitled al-Lughāt fī'l-Qur'ān attributed to Ibn 'Abbās, mention was made of two manuscripts of Gharīb al-Qur'ān also attributed to Ibn 'Abbās. A recent visit to Istanbul allowed an examination of these works, leading to the discovery that, in fact, these manuscripts contain two additional copies of al-Lughāt fī'l-Qur'ān and that an independent text Gharīb al-Qur'ān attributed to Ibn. 'Abbās does not exis…
Ibn 'Abbās's Al-lughāt fī'l-Qur'ān
The study of Muslim lexicology concerned with the Qur'ān has a short but illustrious bibliography, the highlights of which may be summed up for the purposes of the following discussion by mentioning four people: Arthur Jeffery, whose Foreign vocabulary of the Qur'ān contains a lengthy introduction concerning various classical Muslim attempts to come to grips with the Qur'ānic lexicon; Chaim Rabin, who in his Ancient West-Arabian attempts to use a…
Qur'an 7.40
QUR'AN 7.40: «UNTIL THE CAMEL PASSES THROUGH THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE » BY A. RIPPIN THE brief note by M. B. Schub in Arabica, tome 23, fasc. 3, drew attention to the alternate readings and interpretations of the word gamal in Surah 7.40 Egyptian/38 Flügel1. This is not the first occasion, however, that this fact has been published; W. M. Watt, several years previously, delved into the same subject but more exten- sively and, I think it must be adde…

The Poetics of Qur՚ānic Punning
Puns stand as a bridge between rhyme and metaphor. Sound-that characteristic of rhyme-combines with the explosion of semantic implications associated with metaphor into the form of word play or punning. The quality of blending of sound together with meaning remains the best definition of what constitutes a pun. Certainly it is possible to create a classification system for puns which will lead to a workable description of the phenomenon. Interest…

Quranic Studies, part IV
In this article I will focus upon authors who have suggested basic methodological challenges to the assumptions of Wansbrough's approach to the Muslim interpretative tradition found in part IV of his book, Quranic Studies. A common objection arises to Wansbrough's insistence on having textual evidence for historical claims and his seeing those texts which do provide historical evidence as complex expressions of several generations of editors. Two…
