God’s Attributes in Early Qur’anic Exegesis between Text and Context: A Case Study of Muqātil b. Sulaymān al-Balkhī’s Tafsīr
This article examines debates over the khabarī (scriptural) divine attributes in early Qur’anic exegesis through a case study of Muqātil b. Sulaymān al-Balkhī (d. 150/767). Framed by the analytical dyad of text and context, it asks how anthropomorphic and corporealist readings emerged in the first/early second century AH and what cultural matrices shaped them. Methodologically, the study combines a historical‐inductive reading of Muqātil’s tafsīr…
New Lights on Prophecy-Pretending and Mimetic Religions in Medieval Islamic North Africa
This paper addresses the proliferation of prophetic movements and mimetic religions in medieval Islamic North Africa, focusing on the Barghwāṭa and Ghumāra tribes. It critiques medieval Arabic and Orientalist terminologies used to explain this complex issue, arguing that they fail to capture the dynamics of these movements. The paper introduces the concept of mimetic religion to interpret localized prophetic movements that emerged on the peripher…
Caring for the mental health of Afghan refugee youth through a decolonial paradigm: A qualitative analysis of distress, coping mechanisms, and priorities for treatment
Despite the compounded adversities that displaced youth must navigate throughout their forced migration, they consistently exhibit steadfastness in caring for themselves and their families. Extant scholarship, however, often frames these individuals as needy and inept at informing the models of mental health care they are offered. In this study, we use semistructured interviews to learn from the experiences of Afghan refugee youth ( N = 34; M age…

Under the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR) seven-decade mandate, Afghan refugees have faced some of the largest and most protracted experiences with forced displacement. This intergenerational exposure to forced migration has had innumerable consequences for the mental health of this population across different stages of their displacement. Afghan refugees who have resettled into Western nations face a unique set of challeng…

Cynophagy, homosexuality and anthropophagy in medieval Islamic North Africa as signs of hospitality
With reference to Arabic primary sources written in the middle ages, firstly, this paper will account for North African food as a symbolic cultural system expressing local values of hospitality, bravery and manhood. It will also explore the metaphoric and symbolic significance of cynophagy as a customary practice related primarily to the belief in magic by North African Amazigh, Arabs, Christians and Jews. Moreover, the paper will try to contextu…
