A.S. Madsen's Danish Translation of the Qur'an and the Ahmadiyya Mission in Scandinavia
This article discusses the publication history and different functions of the first complete translation of the Qur'an into the Danish language. First introduced in 1960 but published in its final form in 1967, Abdus Salam (Svend Åge) Madsen's (1928–2007) translation is also the first Scandinavian translation of the Qur'an with an explicit commitment to the Qur'anic truth claims and message. Embedded in the institutional and doctrinal framework o…
Between Term and Trope
The term koranskole has a prominent place in the public discourse on Islam and Muslim life in Norway. Despite being empirically imprecise, it is by far the most frequently used term in reference to non-formal Islamic religious education (IRE), but it is also used in other contexts with explicit or implicit referents, creating a polyvalent and at times contested concept. First coined by ethnographers studying Muslim societies, the term koranskole …

Vei, norm, lovsystem, etisk fundament eller læren om det gode liv? Shariabegrepet i Skandinavia
Lånordet sharia, som i dag er i alminnelig bruk i svensk, dansk og norsk, har sitt opphav i det arabiske substantivet sharīʿa, med de beslektede formene substantivet sharʿa og verbet sharaʿa, som alle opptrer i koranteksten. Denne artikkelen tar for seg hvordan disse ordene er oversatt, definert, forklart og brukt i skandinaviske koranoversettelser og faglige fremstillinger, i et historisk perspektiv. I koranoversettelsene er ordene gjengitt sema…
A book burner or not? History and myth
A number of scholars in the medieval Islamic West engaged with the work of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 505/1111), and he was both celebrated and criticised. Among the scholars who are allotted with a prominent role in the controversies around his work, is the Ceutan judge and scholar al-Qāḍī ʿIyāḍ (d. 544/1149). To some extent, his role in the controversies which allegedly resulted in the burning of some of al-Ghazālī’s books, has become a significa…
From Handmaiden of Theology to Handmaiden of Area Studies
This article presents the history of Arabic-Islamic studies in Norway, within the wider framework of Scandinavia and Europe. While Semitic studies reach well back into the sixteenth century in Sweden and Denmark, it was only in the early nineteenth century that the study of Arabic was introduced into Norway with the establishment of a university in 1811. From their inception, Arabic and Semitic studies were instrumental in reaching out into the w…

Universalised versus Particularised Conceptualisations of Islam in Translations of the Qur'an
In this article I offer a case study on conceptualisations of Islam in translations of the Qur'an into the Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian languages during the past 170 years. While situating the translations as well as their translators in their historical and cultural contexts, the study does not take an assumed motivation of the translator as a starting point for the analysis, nor is it source text oriented and framed by discussions on translat…
For de tørster nemlig uophørligt efter de kristnes blod
Historical conceptions of Muslims and Islam in the Christian world have received increased academic attention the past decades, since Norman Daniel, with his seminal study Islam and the West (1960)
Conceptions of Trust in the Qur'an
In the Qur'an we find different concepts of trust situated within different ethical discourses. A rather unambiguous ethico-religious discourse of the trust relationship between the believer and God can be seen embodied in conceptions of tawakkul. God is the absolute wakīl, the guardian, trustee or protector. Consequently He is the only holder of an all-encompassing trusteeship, and the normative claim upon the human being is to trust God uncondi…
