Defining Islam for the Egyptian State: Muftis and Fatwas of the Dār Al-Iftā
ISBN: 9789004109476 / Angielski / Twarda / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book traces the history of the Dār al-Iftā, the Egyptian State Mufti's administration, from its inception in the 1890s to the present. Often uncomfortably positioned between a state bureaucracy and an emerging Muslim public concerned with the transmission of Islamic values, the various State Muftis have been striving to reinterpret Islamic law and demonstrate its relevance in the modern age. The history of the Dār al-Iftā thus provides a rare insight into major themes of 20th-century Islamic thinking. Four case studies demonstrate how fatwas can be used as sources for...

ISBN: 9789004119086 / Angielski / Twarda / 343 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Concentrating on late-Ottoman Damascus, a focal point in the modernization of Islam in the Arab world, this study analyses the conceptual and social evolution among the three consecutive reform trends of the period: the Khālidī...

ISBN: 9789004120433 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
