Abstract

Sacrifier, mettre à mort rituellement une victime animale, voilà qui s'inscrit au cœur de multiples pratiques des sociétés musulmanes, qu'elles soient transplantées en Europe, ou qu'on les observe parmi ce milliard d'individus qui, à travers le monde, de l'Afrique à l'Asie, suit la foi révélée par le Prophète Muḥammad. Égorger de ses ongles la victime animale au Maghreb, boire ou se baigner dans le sang de celle-ci dans les cultes zar soudanais, partager et cuisiner les chairs des bêtes égorgées au sein de la communauté, comme dans la Grèce ancienne, ou solliciter une protection. Que reste-t-il de l'islam dans ces formes quotidiennes du sacrifice ? Encore faudrait-il, ou non, distinguer celui-ci de l'abattage rituel des animaux nécessaires à la consommation halâl des chairs, tout comme dans le cas des viandes juives casher. On peut mettre pourtant en évidence un modèle musulman du rituel sacrificiel, que reconstruit l'anthropologue à partir des rites établis dans la sunna, dans les gestes et dires du Prophète. Le sacrifice que se propose de faire Abraham de son fils, Isaac pour les juifs, Ismaël pour les musulmans, répond à des questions fondamentales : comment peut-on naître d'une femme ? Comment assumer le rôle de père et la soumission du musulman à Dieu ? Questions que pose aussi le sacrifice effectué pour la naissance d'un enfant. Voilà la vision orthodoxe qui inspire le sacrifice du Pèlerinage à La Mekke, et celui effectué le même jour dans l'ensemble de la communauté musulmane à l'occasion de la fête de l'ayd al-kabîr. L'islam n'inscrit pas, contrairement au christianisme, le sacrifice au cœur de son dogme. Il lui accorde cependant une place essentielle dans ses pratiques rituelles : accompagnant toutes les étapes de la vie individuelle, producteur du lien social, lieu de multiples recompositions et transgressions, produisant de nouvelles références locales à l'universalité que celles qu'induit le modèle ibrâhîmien, les rituels sacrificiels musulmans…

Abstract

"The need to understand Islam and Muslims has never been greater, both because of conflicts that dominate the news and because of the increasing presence of Muslims in Western societies. There are hundreds of books that introduce the Western reader to Islam, and dozens of books that explore various Muslim societies (usually Arab ones). Islam & Muslims is the first to bring together both, explaining Islam in theory and in practice across the diverse Muslim world. Readers learn not just what Islam says about everything from the nature of God to marriage to prayer to politics, but also how individual Muslims (traditional or modern, devout or barely observant) apply teachings in everyday life."--Jacket.

Abstract

Islam is the only biblical religion that still practices animal sacrifice. Indeed, every year more than a million animals are shipped to Mecca from all over the world to be slaughtered during the Muslim Hajj. This multi-disciplinary volume is the first to examine the physical foundations of this practice and the significance of the ritual. Brannon Wheeler uses both textual analysis and various types of material evidence to gain insight into the role of animal sacrifice in Islam. He provides a 'thick description' of the elaborate camel sacrifice performed by Muhammad, which serves as the model for future Hajj sacrifices. Wheeler integrates biblical and classical Arabic sources with evidence from zooarchaeology and the rock art of ancient Arabia to gain insight into an event that reportedly occurred 1400 years ago. His book encourages a more nuanced and expansive conception of "sacrifice" in the history of religion.
