Shapers of Islam in Southeast Asia: Muslim Intellectuals and the Making of Islamic Reformism

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 ian 2023
Southeast Asia is home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the world today. The region has also produced a cohort of reformers who have critiqued the limits of Islamic thought and propounded new lines of thinking with an eye toward constructing a better ummah. Shapers of Islam in Southeast Asia captures the progressive and pluralistic nature of Islamic reform in Southeast Asia from the mid-twentieth century onward, a period that can now be regarded as the age of networked Islam. Offering a fresh conceptualization, the book shows how several influential Muslim intellectuals have given rise to an "Islamic reformist mosaic" in Southeast Asia. Representing different strands of reformist thinking, these shapers of Islam have constructed a unified and coherent frame of thought that distinguishes itself from the ultra-traditionalist and ultra-secularist leanings. This fascinating study is indispensable to anyone interested in understanding the challenges facing Islam and other religions in the modern world.

Recenzii

Shapers of Islam in Southeast Asia is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of Islam. Khairudin Aljunied provides an engaging and insightful analysis of a diverse group of Muslim voices who were major catalysts for a reformist movement that emphasizes a cosmopolitan approach to Islamic and Southeast Asian studies." -John L. Esposito, University Professor, Georgetown University
This is an excellent book. Khairudin Aljunied presents a highly sophisticated analysis of the intellectual contributions of seven Muslim scholars from Southeast Asia, whose works collectively establish the richness of Islamic reformist thought and Islam's ability to navigate between extreme-conservative and secularist ideals. A must-read for all those interested in understanding the deeper conceptual debates about Islam and modernity." -Masooda Bano, Professor of Development Studies, University of Oxford
Islam in Southeast Asia has a unique character. It has contributed much-needed wisdom and given birth to genuine ideas that expanded the frontiers of Muslim thought for many centuries. Khairudin Aljunied's Shapers of Islam in Southeast Asia highlights this highly significant and often overlooked aspect of contemporary Islamic thought. An essential book for anyone concerned with the past and future of the Islamic civilization." -Jasser Auda, Islamic Scholar and President of Maqasid Institute Global
Shapers of Islam in Southeast Asia deploys seven accounts of reformist intellectuals whose writings are not only timely and probing but represent a reformist yet lucid intellectual mosaic whose relevance extends to the rest of the Muslim world. This is an absorbing book that both instructs and inspires." -Wael Hallaq, Avalon Foundation Professor, Columbia University
Professor Aljunied undertook the task of writing, analyzing, and studying the contributions of significant Muslim thinkers in Southeast Asia, and he has largely succeeded in this endeavor, deserving congratulations.
A must-read for all those interested in understanding the deeper conceptual debates about Islam and modernity.
