Abstract

"Heretic and impostor or reformer and statesman? The contradictory Western visions of Muhammad. In European culture, Muhammad has been vilified as a heretic, an impostor, and a pagan idol. But these aren't the only images of the Prophet of Islam that emerge from Western history. Commentators have also portrayed Muhammad as a visionary reformer and an inspirational leader, statesman, and lawgiver. In Faces of Muhammad, John Tolan provides a comprehensive history of these changing, complex, and contradictory visions. Starting from the earliest calls to the faithful to join the Crusades against the "Saracens," he traces the evolution of Western conceptions of Muhammad through the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and up to the present day. Faces of Muhammad reveals a lengthy tradition of positive portrayals of Muhammad that many will find surprising. To Reformation polemicists, the spread of Islam attested to the corruption of the established Church, and prompted them to depict Muhammad as a champion of reform. In revolutionary England, writers on both sides of the conflict drew parallels between Muhammad and Oliver Cromwell, asking whether the prophet was a rebel against legitimate authority or the bringer of a new and just order. Voltaire first saw Muhammad as an archetypal religious fanatic but later claimed him as an enemy of superstition. To Napoleon, he was simply a role model: a brilliant general, orator, and leader. The book shows that Muhammad wears so many faces in the West because he has always acted as a mirror for its writers, their portrayals revealing more about their own concerns than the historical realities of the founder of Islam"

Abstract

De wisselwerking met andere culturen die plaatsvond tijdens het ontstaan van de islam is een van de zwaarst bediscussieerde historische thema?s van het moment. Dit is het directe gevolg van twee toevallig samenkomende omstandigheden. Enerzijds is de islamologie nog een jonge discipline, zeker in vergelijking met het Bijbelonderzoek. Daarnaast is er sprake van een sterke politisering van het wetenschappelijke debat gevoed door actuele gebeurtenissen in en rondom de islamitische wereld. In de westerse publieke opinie blijkt er een grote vraag te zijn naar duiding van het ontstaan van de islam, waarbij wetenschap en politiek niet altijd van elkaar gescheiden blijven. Door de opkomst van de islam nadrukkelijk te positioneren in de context van de Late Oudheid biedt deze bundel een hernieuwde kennismaking met de vroege islam als een religie in wording die sterk verankerd was in het culturele mozaïek van haar tijd met evenzovele aanknopingspunten als breuklijnen ten opzichte van de antieke wereld.0.

Abstract

This publication examines how a medieval Syrian Shāfiʿī jurist, Ibn Qāḍī Shuhbah (d. 851/1448), depicted the formation, decline, and the sources for the revival of Islamic law based on his Ṭabaqāt al-fuqahāʾ al-shāfiʿīyah (The Generations of the Shāfiʿī Jurists).
