Abstract

The Handbook of Islamic Sects and Movements offers a multinational study of Islam, its variants, influences, and neighbouring movements, from a multidisciplinary range of scholars. These chapters highlight the diversity of Islam, especially in its contemporary manifestations, as a religion of many communities, theologies, and ideologies. Over five sections—on Sunni, Shia, Sufi, fundamentalist, and fringe Islamic movements—the authors provide historical overviews, analyses, and in-depth studies of large and small Islamic and related groups from all around the world. The contents of this volume will be of interest to both newcomers to the study of Islam and established scholars of religion who wish to engage with the dynamic label of Islam and the many impactful movements of the Islamic world.

Abstract

Dans la période d'extraordinaire effervescence sociale et intellectuelle qu'a été, en Islam, le second siècle de l'Hégire, se détache, quelque peu en marge - et de façon très informelle -, une catégorie particulière de prétendus "mal-pensants", étrangement affublés du sobriquet de zanādiqa, pluriel de zindīq. La question des zanādiqa en pays d'Islam avait déjà fait, comme le rappelle Chokr, l'objet d'un certain nombre de travaux, dont notamment - le tout premier - l'article, justement célèbre, de Georges Vajda. Mais même l'article de Vajda (issu d'un mémoire de l'École Pratique des Hautes Etudes) demeurait très incomplet ; une étude détaillée, systématique, restait à faire. Melhem Chokr a donc entrepris, dans le cadre d'une thèse de doctorat - et à son entière initiative, je tiens à le préciser - de reprendre le dossier à fond, en exploitant au maximum toute la documentation disponible. Il l'a fait avec brio, et une minutie, un souci de ne rien laisser dans l'ombre, qui le conduit même parfois à déborder un tant soit peu son propos, mais dont le lecteur exigeant, je pense, n'aura pas lieu de se plaindre. Me sera-t-il permis d'ajouter ceci? Aujourd'hui, ce n'est pas sans quelque nostalgie que l'on se reporte à ces premiers siècles de l'Hégire, si vivants, marqués par l'extrême diversité des opinions, la hardiesse intellectuelle, une incroyable liberté de propos et de mœurs (en dépit des violences qui s'employaient à la réprimer). Un des intérêts de ce livre, et non le moindre, est de nous rappeler cette époque faste. Daniel GIMARET It is during the second Hegirian century, a period of extraordinary social and intellectual fertility in Islam, that a singular group of allegedly "wrong-thinking" people strangely dubbed with the nickname ofzanādiqa stood on the fringe of society. Yet the question ofzanādiqa in Islam, although the subject of numerous previous works, still remained incomplète. The author, relying on all the available documentation, thus embarked on a ...

Abstract

"This study examines the emergence of new forms of Islamic spirituality in Indonesia identified as Majlis Dhikr. These Majlis Dhikr groups have proliferated on Java in the last two decades, both in urban and rural areas, and have attracted followers from a wide social background. The diverse aspects of these Majlis Dhikr groups - their rituals, teachings and strategies of dissemination as well as the popular understanding of these rituals and their contestation by critics and opponents - are examined in detail and illustrated by reference to three particular groups - Salawat Wahidiyat, Istighathat Ihsaniyyat and Dhikr al-Ghafilin each of which has its own distinctive features and notable religious leadership. These Majlis Dhikr groups regard their activities as legitimate ritual practices that are in accordance with the legacy of Islamic Sufism based on the interpretation of the Qur'anic and Prophetic tradition."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Sowohl der »Arabische Frühling« als auch das Erstarken der dschihadistischen Kampfgruppe »Islamischer Staat« haben die diversen islamistischen Bewegungen in den Fokus der medialen und publizistischen Aufmerksamkeit rücken lassen. Auf der Basis der Gesellschaftstheorie der Politik Niklas Luhmanns untersucht Thorsten Hasche mit der AKP, der al-Qaida und der Muslimbruderschaft drei zentrale Bewegungen des sunnitischen Islamismus. Historisch und vergleichend nimmt er dabei ihre Vordenker, ihre politischen Ideologien und ihre Strukturen in den Blick. Es wird deutlich: Der sunnitische politische Islam wird auch mittelfristig ein wirkmächtiger Bestandteil des weltpolitischen Systems bleiben. »Eine aktuelle, komplexe und fachübergreifende Analyse des Islamismus.« Dieter Bach, www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 15.09.2015 Besprochen in: Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 06.08.2015, Ulrich Heisterkamp VKRG inform, 4 (2015)
