Defending the “Backward Civilization”: The Resurrection of a Forgotten 17th Century Text in 20th Century Intellectual Discourse on Islam

It is an irony of history that since texts transcend the intentions and purposes of their authors, their meaning and significance are often contested anew as they enter new historical contexts; even historical texts are thus subject to reading and criticism over time. This article discusses the posthumous fate of Henry Stubbe’s own text on Islamic history, The Rise and Progress of Mahometanism—seen by some to represent a Copernican revolution in the study of Islam. The fate of this work is a clear example of the critical contingencies and fluctuating fortunes experienced by a corpus of texts. The continuing existence of a text as an object open to reconfiguration and re-evaluation is termed its after-history (Nachgeschichte) or afterlife (Nachleben). This notion of the afterlife of an object as a period of critical appreciation and political appropriation aptly defines the fate and fame of The Rise and Progress of Mahometanism. The present study seeks to explore the narrative surrounding a publication authored by Stubbe in the 17th century and finally published by Hafiz Mahmud Khan Shairani, with the critical support of Ottoman intellectual Halil Halid Bey, nearly two centuries later. Its objective is to investigate how the life and contributions of a figure whose work has transcended generations was resurrected within the political backdrop of the 20th century, as evidenced in the columns of Ottoman newspapers.

Eminence and Contributions of the Companions in the Development and Teaching of the Qur’ān in the First Hijri Century

The process of Qur’ānic teaching in the Islamic world began during the Era of Revelation. Islamic history proves that the Qur’ān was inherited through talaqqī bi al-Mushāfahah (direct oral transmission) from teacher (murshid) to student, passing through a chain of teachers until it reaches the source of its revelation that is Prophet Muḥammad. The companions of the Prophet played a significant role in spreading the message of Islam across the world during their time by teaching the Qur’ān to the Ummah (Muslim community). A significant number of modern Muslims don't have much knowledge about Islamic history, including the vital roles played by the companions in shaping and disseminating the teachings of the Qur’an. This research aims to provide a brief overview of the early history of the development and teaching of the Qur’ān in the first century of the Hijri and explored the scholarship of the companions involved. The study utilised a literary method and a historiographical approach. Each historical fact recorded was analysed through the process based on inductive (taḥlīli), deductive (istinbāṭ), and comparative (muqāranah) methods, while relying on the historical references as primary sources authored by the Islamic scholars. The findings revealed that a significant number of companions, not only Muslim men but also women, played an essential role in disseminating the Qur’ān during the first century of the Hijri calendar.

DYNAMICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAMLUK DYNASTY IN THE HISTORY OF ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION

The development of the Mamluk dynasty is not widely highlighted in the study of Islamic history, even though this dynasty played a role in Islamic historical civilization. This makes it urgent to carry out further research aimed at uncovering the development of the Mamluk Dynasty. This research method is descriptive qualitative research using literature study techniques. The findings show that in the development of the Mamluk Dynasty there were two main periods, namely the Mamluk Bahri and Mamluk Burji periods. Factors that supported the rise of the Mamluk dynasty were the ability to withstand attacks by Hulugu troops and the Crusaders, utilizing geographical factors to engage in international trade, and establishing good relations with European countries to increase wealth and reputation. Factors that caused the collapse of the Mamluk dynasty were internal conflicts such as competition for power, instability in government policies, economic problems such as corruption, economic crises and inflation. The weakening of the Mamluk Dynasty's power resulted in the loss of its territory so that it was controlled by the Ottoman Empire. In this case, the existence of the Mamluk dynasty is known to have had a significant impact on Islamic historical civilization, namely being the only dynasty that maintained Islamic culture when the Arabs declined and supported the progress of Islamic science. It is hoped that these findings can increase insight and understanding that the Mamluk Dynasty also played an important role in the history of Islamic civilization.

Prophet al-Khiḍr: Between the Qur’anic Text and Islamic Contexts

Khiḍr is neither well-known or well-theorized, despite the fact that he frequently appears in Muslim literature and that several Muslim civilizations have adopted his tale as their own. Building upon the extensive research and comprehensive analysis of the mysterious prophet Khiḍr by Patrick Franke and Talat Halman, Prophet al-Khiḍr: Between the Qur’anic Text and Islamic Contexts by Irfan A. Omar adds to a growing correction to this. By examining Khiḍr through a “wider frame of understanding” in Prophet al-Khiḍr, Omar hopes to demonstrate the important intersectional connections between the Khiḍr narrative and other savior-sage type stories. This covers both symbolic and legendary viewpoints in addition to textual and literary representations (22) and to ‘’examine Khiḍr’s diverse attributes as a celestial messenger entrusted with aiding the pious and truth-seekers, irrespective of time or location, status, or faith’’ (27). Omar's efforts have given us a rich, widely portrayed, painstakingly detailed, composite, and colorful picture of the Khiḍr tale throughout Islamic history and genres.

Extension, renewal or resurgence? The anti-constitutional argument of a cleric in 1920s Iran

This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the complexity and diversity of anti-constitutionalist thought developed by the ulama by synthesizing the arguments of Shaykh Marandi (d. 1349/1930), the author of two important treatises on the subject in the mid-1920s. As Shaykh Fazlallah Nuri had been able to do twenty years earlier, the two treatises by Marandi gave religious and ideological justification to the monarchist cause at a time when it was once again deeply debated and questioned, notably in favour of the republican option. The treatises are marked by a very conservative vision of society and a religious culture in which the primacy of the Quran seems absolute, and the messianic horizon considered near. The argument of Marandi was essentially centred on a radical delegitimization of the idea that consultation (mashvirat) might be a principle of Islam. His argument was based both on scriptural sources (Quran, hadith) and on an interpretation of the early history of Islam associating consultation in the context of an assembly with the strategies employed by those the Shiʿi credo considers to be the first enemies of the Prophet.
