Exile in colonial Asia: Kings, convicts, commemoration, edited by Ronit Ricci
This book is the product of a workshop held at the Australian National University in 2013. It was devoted to the study of the effects of banishment exile imposed as a sanction by the major European
Sūrat al-Muʾminūn: A Reading and Reflection
The 114 suras of the Qur'an are an ‘excerpting’ and organisation of the revelations made to the Prophet Muḥammad from the time of the Call until his death. Each sura has its place in the Book in an ordering determined not by chronology, but by a pastoral and spiritual wisdom. They relate to, complement, and reflect back on each other like mirrors along a hallway. Their essential internal coherence and relation to each other is now a well-establis…

A Humanistic Approach to iʿjāz in the Qur'an: The Transfiguration of Language
The Qur'an is a sequence of locutions to the Prophet Muḥammad. It is a Book of multiple aspects. In exploring them, it may be helpful to postulate two modes of its presence in the world, as ‘process’, and as ‘event’. These two modes of its presence are part of the internal dynamic of the Qur'an, and create a tension that is both part of its meaning, and the way it communicates its meaning. This contextual repositioning of the locutions from the s…

Perspectives of Islamic Spirituality in Southeast Asia: Reflections and Encounters
This essay has grown out of reflections presented at a workshop on 'Islam in Southeast Asia', loosely structured around a concern with Muslim-Christian understanding. It draws on the author's attempts to come to terms with both Southeast Asia as a complex geographical and cultural entity and the diverse expressions of Islamic spiritual life that developed there, and urges that the region deserves recognition as a major cultural zone of the Islami…
Narrative, Intertext and Allusion in the Qur'anic Presentation of Job
Job (Ayyūb) is a byword for patience in the Islamic tradition, notwithstanding only six Qur'anic verses are devoted to him, four in Ṣād (vv.41-4), and two in al-Anbiyā' (vv.83-4), and he is mentioned on only two other occasions, in al-An c ām (v.84) and al-Nisā' (v.163). In relation to the space devoted to him, he could be accounted a ‘lesser’ prophet, nevertheless his significance in the Qur'an is unambiguous. The impact he makes is achieved in …

Sufism in Southeast Asia: Reflections and Reconsiderations
In 1961 I published in this Journal a paper on the Islamization of peninsular and insular Southeast Asia. It was a paper I had presented to the first meeting of the conference of historians of Southeast Asia organized in January of that year at the University of Malaya in Singapore by the then Raffles Professor of History, K.G. Tregonning. It was a paper often referred to in discussions concerning the coming of Islam to the Malay world, and attra…
In search of common ground: The Qur'an as literature
The pluralizing forces in many English speaking countries include a number of Muslim communities. As these become integrated into their host societies, their social and spiritual values, and above all a recognition of the Qur'an as their sacred Book have the potential to enrich the mythic and symbolic resources of English as a language of literature. For this, the Qur'an needs to establish recognition in the first place at a secular level as lite…
Hopes and Frustrations: Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies in Australia
Up to 1945 university education in Australia had little sense of engagement with any cultural traditions outside those of Western Europe. It was only in the aftermath of World War II that Australians began to realize that while their nation had powerful allies in Britain and America, nations with whom it had ties of kin and culture, it had on its doorstep in neighboring Southeast Asia and not so distant Northeast Asia, neighbors who might become …
Let my people go! Sayyid Qutb and the vocation of Moses
Moses is a great figure of moral and social liberation. His role in the Muslim tradition has been as multifaceted as in Judaism and Christianity. This essay attempts to explore his importance in the ideology of radical Islam by exploring Sayyid Qutb's responses to a number of the Moses scenes of the Qur'an in his work Fi zilal al‐qur'an. Qutb's treatment reveals aspects of the ideological structure that informs his writing, his love of Egypt and …

Islam in Southeast Asia: Reflections and New Directions
Study of Islam in Asia is an expression with a compelling ring. It suggests a well defined field of research, a tradition of scholarship, adequate points of orientation, and an authoritative structure of monographs, articles in learned journals, and more general works. The reality however is more complex and at the same time more limited than the expression Southeast Asia suggests. In practice it has generally meant a study of Islam in those area…

The Role of Structural Organisation and Myth in Javanese Historiography
The galaxy of non-indigenous elements confronting the student of Indonesian cultural history has often obscured the fact that, in order to elucidate a valid picture of their role and significance, these elements need to be studied in their own terms, in relation to their own environment and at specific synchronic levels, such levels being but points on the continuum of the historical process.
