The Wiley Blackwell History of Islam
In an effort to enliven the review section of the AHR, we have been experimenting with new ways of evaluating scholarship of all kinds. In a number of instances, we have asked several scholars to review a single book or film, in order to bring a variety of critical views to bear on issues of historical importance. Our April 2019 issue, for example, presented four distinctive reviews of Michael A. Gomez’s African Dominion; in the April 2020 AHR, f…
The al-Ghazali Enigma and Why Shariʿa is Not Islamic LawBy Haifaa G. Khalafallah
This book is the fruit of over two decades of research by the author on conceptual discussions related to shariʿa and fiqh. When Khalafallah was working on her doctoral thesis in the late 1990s at Georgetown University’s history programme, she became acutely aware of the extent of the negative impact Western media and academic literature had on contemporary Muslims by glossing shariʿa as ‘Islamic law’ (pp. 2–3). The title of the book, Why Shariʿa…

Public Culture and Islam in Modern Egypt
On November 21, 2016, the Middle East Centre of St Antony’s College, Oxford hosted the roundtable and launch of Public Culture and Islam in Modern Egypt: Media, Intellectuals and Society (London: I.B.Tauris, 2016) with myself and Morgan Clarke (Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Oxford) who is a social anthropologist specialising in Shi‘a in Lebanon. Laurent Mignon (Oriental Institute, Oxford) chaired the event and provided valuable c…
Consciously unmodern
Sufi becoming is conditioned on finding a master who could take one through the spiritual journey for attaining Ultimate Truth. In contrast, Islamic reformism since the late eighteenth century calls for the significance of establishing a direct and autonomous relationship to God and denies the roles of charismatic authority who could mediate between Him and a Muslim. This paper examines how Egyptian Sufi theorists tackled the issue of individuali…

Public Culture and Islam in Modern Egypt
What does it mean to be an intellectual in Egypt today? What is expected from an ‘authentic scholar’? Hatsuki Aishima explores these questions byexamining educated, urban Egyptians and their perceptions of what it means to be ‘cultured’ and ‘middle class’ - something that, as a result of the neoliberal policies of Egyptian government, is widely thought to be a shrinking sector of society. Through an analysis of the media representations of ‘Abd a…
Between "Public" Islam and "Private" Sufism
To what extent can a national hero be a Sufi? This article examines the much contested yet still underexplored relationship between the public discourse of modernity and Sufism by looking at how television producers dealt with Sufi elements in ʿAbd al-Ḥalīm Maḥmūd's (1910-78) biography. The Egyptian public remembers ʿAbd al-Ḥalīm Maḥmūd as a Shaykh al-Azhar and a distinguished scholar of Sufism of the 1970s. His biopic series broadcast on nationa…
Doubt, faith, and knowledge
The study of the Islamic Resurgence has underestimated the intellectual trials that some key personalities underwent at a crucial stage of the crisis of post-colonial societies. The intellectual leaders of the Resurgence faced the task to redefine the social value of faith and of its converse, doubt, as the insidious flip-side of processes of modernization. Their response to the challenge contributed to a reconfiguration of the intellectual field…
