Abstract

L'Islam s'enracine dans le judaïsme et le christianisme non pas directement mais à travers les dérives de cercles judéo-chrétiens qui avaient transformé le messianisme biblique en idéologie de salut - ils attendaient la seconde venue du messie en tant qu'il dominerait la terre, la soumettant au pouvoir de "Dieu" et surtout de Ses fidèles. Malgré les difficultés ou les abus d'interprétation des textes et des vestiges archéologiques - particulièrement des manuscrits de la mer Morte -, il est possible à l'historien de suivre cette pensée messianiste qui s'esquisse au IIe siècle avant notre ère : elle apparaît comme système de pensée dès la fin du Ier siècle de notre ère, et, à la fin du VIe, donne naissance à l'éphémère communauté judéo-arabe qui fut le berceau de l'islam. Loin des polémiques religieuses, cette synthèse, qui "révolutionne les conceptions des orientalistes sur les origines de l'islam" (Gérard Troupeau) confronte des analyses textuelles portant sur les documents juifs, chrétiens, musulmans et autres, aux apports des recherches islamologiques, archéologiques, etc.

Abstract

The oldest Islamic biography of Muhammad, written in the mid-eighth century, relates that the prophet died at Medina in 632, while earlier and more numerous Jewish, Christian, Samaritan, and even Islamic sources indicate that Muhammad survived to lead the conquest of Palestine, beginning in 634-35. Although this discrepancy has been known for several decades, Stephen J. Shoemaker here writes the first systematic study of the various traditions.Using methods and perspectives borrowed from biblical studies, Shoemaker concludes that these reports of Muhammad's leadership during the Palestinian invasion likely preserve an early Islamic tradition that was later revised to meet the needs of a changing Islamic self-identity. Muhammad and his followers appear to have expected the world to end in the immediate future, perhaps even in their own lifetimes, Shoemaker contends. When the eschatological Hour failed to arrive on schedule and continued to be deferred to an ever more distant point, the meaning of Muhammad's message and the faith that he established needed to be fundamentally rethought by his early followers.The larger purpose of The Death of a Prophet exceeds the mere possibility of adjusting the date of Muhammad's death by a few years; far more important to Shoemaker are questions about the manner in which Islamic origins should be studied. The difference in the early sources affords an important opening through which to explore the nature of primitive Islam more broadly. Arguing for greater methodological unity between the study of Christian and Islamic origins, Shoemaker emphasizes the potential value of non-Islamic sources for reconstructing the history of formative Islam.

Abstract

Recent outbursts sparked by a viral video and controversial cartoons powerfully illustrate the passions and sensitivities that continue to surround the depiction of the seventh-century founder of Islam. The Lives of Muhammad delves into the many ways the Prophet's life story has been told from the earliest days of Islam to the present, by both Muslims and non-Muslims. Emphasizing the major transformations since the nineteenth century, Kecia Ali shows that far from being mutually opposed, these various perspectives have become increasingly interdependent. Since the nineteenth century, two separate streams of writing, one hagiographic and the other polemical, have merged into a single, contentious story about the life of Muhammad. Protestant missionaries, European Orientalists, Indian and Egyptian modernists, and American voices across the spectrum, including preachers, scholars, Islamophobes, journalists, academics, and new-age gurus, debated Muhammad's character and the facts of his life. In the process, texts written symbolically came to be read literally. Muhammad's accomplishments as a religious and political leader, his military encounters with Meccans and Medinan Jews, and-a subject of perennial interest-his relationships with women, including his young wife Aisha, are among the key subjects writers engaged, repurposing early materials for new circumstances. Many of the ideas about Muhammad that Muslims embrace today-Muhammad the social reformer, Muhammad the consummate leader, Muhammad the ideal husband-arose in tandem and in tension with Western depictions. These were in turn shaped by new ideas about religion, sexuality, and human accomplishments.
