Editat de Robert Rozehnal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iun 2020
This book explores the diversity and dynamism of Islam in Southeast Asia through the concept ofadab, or beautiful behavior. Amid the complexity of Islamic civilization,adabprovides Muslims with a shared sense of sacred history, identity, and morality. In the context of Islamic ethics,adabdefines the rules of personal and public etiquette: good manners, proper conduct, civility and humaneness. Featuring the interdisciplinary research of nine prominent scholars of Islam, the book offers new perspectives onadab's multiple meanings and myriad applications for Muslim communities in Malaysia and Indonesia. The chapters examine a wide range of texts, spotlighting the writings of prominent Muslim thinkers, and contexts, focusing on the everyday experiences of lay Muslims. Drawing on a variety of theoretical and methodological lenses, the essays reveal how beautiful behavior impacts local institutions, cultural practices, and religious imaginations via politics and law, spirituality and piety, ethics and experience. With its careful textual analysis, detailed case studies, and attention to historical continuities and disjunctures,Piety, Politics and Everyday Ethics in Southeast Asian Islamis essential reading for students and scholars interested in global Islam and the lived, local dynamics of Muslim Southeast Asia.

Recenzii

The importance of this book is twofold: it is both a scholarly and a moral endeavor. The contributors assert an important interpretation of the Islamic world of Southeast Asia, yet also suggest the possibility for a shift in the Western perspective of Islam more generally. This book creatively lays the groundwork for what must become a fresh beginning in Islamic studies
This is a timely and important collection on a theme that is under-discussed in Southeast Asian studies on Islam.
