This chapter notes the value of the inscriptional record in revealing a comprehensive picture of Muslim settlements in pre-fifteenth century Gujarat, and in suggesting the importance of Sufis and other learned men among those settlements. However, the dominant inscriptional mode of historical recording in pre-fifteenth century Gujarat reflects the variegated ecologies within which Muslim communities developed with distinct historical and societal experiences. The narrative process of capturing the history of the region, and of the Muslim community within it, began in the fifteenth century at the conjuncture of two processes: the formation of a new state under the Gujarat Sultans and the sanctification of the sultanate territory by Sufi preceptors, particularly Aḥmad Khattū (d. 1445). These two developments, underpinned not so much by any ruptures at the turn of the fifteenth century than the confluence of long-term historical processes, together shaped the textual articulations of the history of the Muslim community in Gujarat.

AbstractThe period in the history of Kazakhstan between the middle XIX – middle XX centuries, when significant transformations in the Kazakh Muslim community took place, is of great academic interest for researchers. Among the little-studied historical processes, which were under way in Kazakhstan, could be mentioned: (1) the interaction of Muslim and Russian (Orthodox) civilizations; (2) the awakening of the followers of the traditional Islamic school; (3) the initiation and dissemination of the ideas of Islamic modernism (Jadidism) and Islamic fundamentalism (Salafism) in local Muslim communities etc. However the use of well-known Russian official documents as the main and only sources for new investigations could lead to one-sided conclusions, as that was shown in the well-known review by Prof. Devin DeWeese.

Different understandings of European integration, its background and present problems are represented in this book, but they share an emphasis on historical processes, geopolitical dynamics and regional diversity. The introduction surveys approaches to the question of European continuities and discontinuities, before going on to an overview of chapters. The following three contributions deal with long-term perspectives, including the question of Europe as a civilisational entity, the civilisational crisis of the twentieth century, marked by wars and totalitarian regimes, and a comparison of the European Union with the Habsburg Empire, with particular emphasis on similar crisis symptoms. The next three chapters discuss various aspects and contexts of the present crisis. Reflections on the Brexit controversy throw light on a longer history of intra-Union rivalry, enduring disputes and changing external conditions. An analysis of efforts to strengthen the EU’s legal and constitutional framework, and of resistances to them, highlights the unfinished agenda of integration. A closer look at the much-disputed Islamic presence in Europe suggests that an interdependent radicalization of Islamism and the European extreme right is a major factor in current political developments. Three concluding chapters adopt specific regional perspectives. Central and Eastern European countries, especially Poland, are following a path that leads to conflicts with dominant orientations of the EU, but this also raises questions about Europe’s future. The record of Scandinavian policies in relation to Europe exemplifies more general problems faced by peripheral regions. Finally, growing dissonances and divergences within the EU may strengthen the case for Eurasian perspectives.

Chapter 1 sketches a brief history of Muslims in China to aid in understanding the development of Sino-Islamic scholarship and the shifting contours of this tradition. The establishment of local religious institutions and a unique body of Chinese literature was predicated by the changing attitudes of foreign and local Muslims in relation to political, economic, and cultural policies. The chapter focuses on the transmission of Islam to China as it affected the development of Islamic thought, and situate this process within the Chinese cultural environment and then in the broader Eurasian context, focusing on global relationships and interactions across geographical boundaries. Locally, dynastic history shaped the Sino-Muslim community and their scholarly production, while developments abroad provided episodic intellectual nourishment. In this discussion, I also spar with some theoretical challenges that arise in any analysis of Asian Muslim communities—namely, the processes of Islamization, vernacularization, and syncretism.

ABSTRACTThis article evaluates the presence of Muslim communities in the Kingdom of Navarre in the late Middle Ages. Following the Christian Reconquest of the Navarrese bank of the Ebro in 1119, a sizeable Muslim community remained in Christian territory until 1516. This article focuses on the fifteenth century, a period for which religious coexistence in the smallest of the Iberian Christian kingdoms is in need of further contextualisation. An analysis of existing scholarship and new archival evidence throws light on the economic activities of the Muslims in Tudela as well as on their relationship with the Navarrese monarchy, their collective identity, their legal systems and their relationships not only with their Christian and Jewish neighbours, but also with other Iberian Muslim communities including those of Al Andalus, or Moorish Iberia.

The Introduction establishes the historical and historiographical context for the production of Persian narrative texts in Gujarat in the fifteenth century. It emphasizes the role of Sufi texts as sites where an expanding Muslim community’s past in Gujarat was narrated and negotiated. At the same time, it places this development within a longer history of Muslim settlements and Sufi textual production in the subcontinent. The Introduction further discusses the importance of spatial contexts for the dissemination of texts, primarily Sufi residences and tomb-shrines, and in creating a regional identity and a history of the Muslim community that was unique to Gujarat.

Islamic acculturation in traditional Ngaju Dayak marriage: History of Muslim communities in Petak Bahandang Village, Katingan Regency, Central Kalimantan. There are three main issues to be discussed in this paper, namely how is the history of the village, how is the history and procession of traditional marriages and how is the acculturation of Islamic values and local culture in traditional marriages carried out by the Dayak Ngaju ethnic Muslim community. This article uses a type of historiographic research using a spoken history approach. The findings concluded that the Muslim community of Dayak Ngaju in Katingan Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, is still carrying out customary marriages. For them, the purpose of carrying out a traditional marriage is not as a symbol of the validity of a marriage relationship, but to preserve local wisdom and is a prevention of divorce by making an agreement. Muslim communities still have to fulfill the path of hadat drawn from the maternal lineage and in the procession the Muslim community first conducts a marriage according to religion. After that, they conduct a marriage according to the custom. This custom marriage represents Islamic values.

The Relationship

The relationship between Hindu and Muslim communities in Bali has been recorded in the long trajectory of history of both communities. As a human relationship, the relationship sometimes becomes strength, but at the other hand, as the adherents of different religions, it becomes challenge to them. The challenge is how the Muslim community in Bali can respect and honor Hindu religious traditions, and how the Hindu community can do the same to the Muslim community. The article aims to elaborate further about it. The author presents three cases as examples of how Muslims practice their religion in Bali context. Tolerance is the key word how to mingle in the social, moral principles, religious law and social ethics.

This article studies a sixteenth-century sufi taz̠kirāt (biographical dictionary), Ak̲h̲bār al-Ak̲h̲yār written by ‘Abd al-Haqq Muhaddis Dehlawi (1551–1642), an ‘ālim (scholar), who was also a sufi. The text is frequently cited as the earliest, most comprehensive and reliable biographical compilation of South Asian sufis and ‘ulamā’ (learned men in religious sciences) from the thirteenth to the sixteenth century. Indeed ‘Abd al-Haqq is best remembered for his scholasticism as a mūḥaddis̤ (a person well-versed in Prophetic traditions) which is also supposed to have made him into a rather staid scholar of Sufism. But what of him in his own society of elite Muslim intellectuals in the early seventeenth century? ‘Abd al-Haqq was networked into the elite circles of the Mughal court, but he stayed away from Mughal patronage, communicating his ambivalence regarding its political experiments by espousing alternative paradigms. My article studies the structure of the Ak̲h̲bār al-Ak̲h̲yār to comprehend how a Muslim intellectual constructed a history of his peer group at a critical juncture in the making of Mughal authority. My article follows a prosopographical methodology to explore the innovative structure of the Ak̲h̲bār al-Ak̲h̲yār and its complex projection of the past of the piety-minded in Hindustan. As I argue, the Ak̲h̲bār al-Ak̲h̲yār is a carefully structured, remarkable history of sufis and their networks, providing them with contexts and significance that questioned both, inherited paradigms of moral authority present in the fourteenth- and fifteenth-century sufi texts as well as those emerging in the statist renditions of the past from the courts of the Mughal emperors Akbar and Jahangir.
