Ce livre est une galerie de portraits: on y entre au seuil du XIXe siècle pour arriver jusqu'à nos jours, ayant déambulé dans l'histoire des savoirs d'islam et des oulémas du Maghreb. Au fil des chapitres, on y découvre des figures et des paroles de savants, au sein des communautés qu'ils ont guidées, dans le monde qui les a façonnés et qu'ils ont, en retour, pensé et transformé. L'ambition de cet ouvrage est de faire ainsi connaître la contribution souvent mésestimée des sociétés du Maghreb à l'islam contemporain. Les travaux des spécialistes se sont en effet longtemps réparti entre un islam d'Orient, perçu comme savant, celui des textes et des doctrines, et un islam du Maghreb, vu comme populaire, une religion de marabouts et de pratiques plus ou moins superstitieuses. Chaque chapitre a une coloration particulière qui se dégage tant de la trajectoire retracée que de la thématique particulière dont il traite. La visite commence avec un fondateur qui exerça son magistère au XIXe siècle, Muhammad b. Ali al-Sanusi dit 'le grand Sanusi' et s'achève par le portrait d'Aïcha El Hajjami, seule personnalité à incarner ici les figures féminines de l'islam, comme un pari sur l'avenir.

In the Arabic literary tradition, biographies form a class of their own and have always been widely used. Whether about a single person or about some group, their shared objective was to provide an authoritative account of someone's lineage, social or literary career, academic or religious background or affiliation, or connection to some historic event. As examples one could mention Ibn Hishām's (d. 218/834) Sīrat Muḥammad rasūli ʼllāh , Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa's (d. 668/1270) Kitāb ʿuyūn al-anbāʾ fī ṭabaqāt al-aṭibbāʾ , or Nūr al-Dīn al-Ṭūkhī's (d. ca 900/1494) Quḍāt Miṣr . The author of the present work, Najm al-Dīn al-Nasafī (d. 537/1142-43), was a long-time resident of Samarqand and widely known and respected as jurist. He wrote more than 30 works, in Persian and in Arabic. The present volume contains an inventory of ḥadīth scholars bearing some connection to Samarqand. Its importance lies mainly in the many names of people, places, and books which are otherwise entirely unknown.

This book is a succinct and critical account on the shariatisation of Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world. It is the first book in English to uncover and explain the shariatisation of Indonesia in a comprehensive way. With the abundant primary and secondary sources, this book is a reference for other scholars who conduct research on the inclusion of sharia into legal and public sphere of Indonesia. It comes with an important conclusion that the change of such a non-theocratic state like Indonesia into a theocratic state is highly possible when its law is penetrated by those who want to change the state system.
