The Global Disappearance of Decent Work? Precarity, Exploitation, and Work‐Based Harms in the Neoliberal Era
This thematic issue offers an international perspective on precarious work and the social harms generated by such work. In the following introduction, we contextualise these trends in relation to entrenched neoliberal policy, rising contractual insecurity, the proliferation of borders, and other forms of institutional discrimination and inequality. We distinguish between formal contractual insecurity and the subjective experiences of precarity, i…
War, Economic Strife, Climate Change
When we discuss global security efforts, we must ask whom these initiatives genuinely serve. This volume seeks to address this question by presenting perspectives from scholars around the world on issues of inclusion and security, particularly for those who are marginalised by virtue of their indigenous background, ethnicity, age, gender, sexuality, disability, illness, socio‐economic position, and class. We ask why these vulnerable groups are of…
Indigenous Emancipation
This thematic issue addresses the challenges faced by Indigenous peoples in protecting their rights and maintaining their unique cultures and ways of life. Despite residing on all continents and possessing distinct social, cultural, economic, and political characteristics, Indigenous peoples have historically faced oppression and violation of their rights. Measures to protect Indigenous rights are gradually being recognized by the international c…
Virtue, Piety and the Law
Birgivi Mehmed Efendi (d. 981/1573) ranks among the most prolific and controversial scholars of early modern Ottoman history. However, despite his significance, especially for the Muslim revivalist tradition, we have seen very little scholarly interest in his life and work in Western academia, and certainly no dedicated studies in the English language. That is until now. Katharina Ivanyi’s examination of Birgivi’s monumental al-Tariqa al-Muhammad…
Islam, Alcohol, and Identity
Framed in a critical Muslim studies approach, this article offers a new understanding of the Ḥanafī position on alcohol, following major public debates on the question of alcohol sparked by prominent members of Al-Azhar University (Egypt) in 2012. Close textual analysis of a range of primary sources in Arabic and Urdu are foundational to the article, as are the categorisation and contextualisation of Ḥanafī discourse. This is all but a starting p…
Taymiyyan Taṣawwuf meets Ottoman Orthodoxy
Ottoman Puritanism and Its Discontents
This volume explores the emergence of new activist Sufism in the Muslim world from the seventeenth century onwards.
Ottoman Puritanism and its Discontents
This book is about the emergence of a new activist Sufism in the Muslim world from the sixteenth century onwards, which emphasised personal responsibility for putting God’s guidance into practice. It focuses specifically on developments at the centre of the Ottoman Empire, but also considers both how they might have been influenced by the wider connections and engagements of learned and holy men and how their influence might have been spread from…
Taymiyyan Influences in an Ottoman-Ḥanafī Milieu
Shaykh Aḥmad al-Rūmī al-Āqḥiṣārī (d. 1041/1632) is one of the most intriguing religious personalities of seventeenth-century Ottoman Turkey: although progress towards disclosing key aspects of his thought has been made recently – such as the association of al-Āqḥiṣārī with the Ottoman puritanical movement, the Qāḍīzādelis – the intellectual world-view of al-Āqḥiṣārī and, in particular, intellectual influences on his thought, are still hazy. This …

Navigating Legal Constraints in Asnaf Housing Development on Waqf Land in Malaysia
Zakat and waqf are Islamic social finance instruments with considerable potential to address the housing needs of the asnaf in Malaysia through a combination of immediate financial support and long-term asset-based provision. However, sustainable asnaf housing remains difficult to realise despite the increasing number of housing initiatives undertaken by zakat and waqf institutions under the State Islamic Religious Councils. This difficulty is no…
