'Divine speech : exploring the quran as literature' introduces aspects of its literary beauty to a wider, English-speaking audience. These aspects include its remarkable language and word choice, its use of a wide variety of coherence, structure, and order of its "chapters" - features that typically remain mysterious to readers of English translations of the text. 'Divine speech' provides its readers with a better appreciation of the Quran from a literary perspective, and in the process stimulates interest in, and provides tools and resources for further study of the scripture.https://store.bayyinah.com/products/divine-speech-book

Ist der Islam wissenschaftsfeindlich? Hat sich im Islam eine eigene Moderne und Wissenschaft entwickeln? Kann die islamische Wissenschaft Fehlentwicklungen der Gegenwart vermeiden oder ihr sogar als Vorbild dienen? Das Verhältnis des Islams zu Moderne und Wissenschaft wurde um 1900 von führenden europäischen Islamwissenschaftlern beobachtet und kontrovers diskutiert. Ihre Arbeiten enthalten polemische Abwertungen, aber auch Annäherungen an den Islam und selbstkritische Überlegungen zur Wissenschaft in Europa. Die Autorin zeigt die Vielfalt der Auseinandersetzung beispielhaft an den Arbeiten von drei Gründungsvätern der Islamwissenschaft: Ignaz Goldziher, Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje und Carl Heinrich Becker. Damit liefert sie einen Einblick auf die Entstehung der Islamwissenschaft, ihr Verhältnis zum zeitgenössischen Islam und die Internationalisierung der Wissenschaften.

The present volume offers the first scholarly discussion of Günter Lüling's (1928-2014) work. Lüling's views, long passages of the Qur'ān are originally mere reworking of pre-Islamic Christian hymns have not received the scholarly attention they deserve, since they were published at the beginning of the 70s of the previous century. Lüling attempted to reconstruct an "Ur-Qur'ān" in order to show that Islam emerged in a Christian context in Mecca. He also believed that Muhammad converted from Trinitarian Christianity to paganism and that the Kaaba was a church. Lüling's hermeneutical approach to the Qur'ān and other Arabic sources on early Islam is, for the first time, the subject of the studies included in the present book. In addition, the volume offers interesting insights in the law case which accompanied the publication of Lüling's work.

The corpus coranicum eludes familiar categories and resists strict labels. No doubt the threads woven into the fabric are exceptionally textured, varied, and complex. Accordingly, the introductory chapter of this book demonstrates the application of form criticism to the text. Chapter two then presents a form-critical study of the prayer genre. It identifies three productive formulae and addresses distinct social settings and forms associated with them. The third chapter begins by defining the liturgy genre vis-à-vis prayer in the Qurʾān. Drawing a line between the hymn and litany forms, this chapter treats each in turn. Chapter four considers the genre classified as wisdom literature. It identifies sapiential formulae and sheds light on wisdom contexts. The fifth chapter examines the narrative genre writ large. It also surveys narrative blocks of the long saga. The subsequent chapter on the proclamation genre inspects a set of vocative formulae, which occurs in the messenger situation. The concluding chapter looks at the corpus through synchronic and diachronic lenses. In the end, Qurʾānic genres encapsulate the form-critical elements of formulae, forms, and settings, as well as an historical dimension.

An anonymous book appeared in Venice in 1547 titled L'Alcorano di Macometto, and, according to the title page, it contained "the doctrine, life, customs, and laws [of Mohammed] . . . newly translated from Arabic into the Italian language." Were this true, L'Alcorano di Macometto would have been the first printed direct translation of the Qur'an in a European vernacular language. The truth, however, was otherwise. As soon became clear, the Qur'anic sections of the book--about half the volume--were in fact translations of a twelfth-century Latin translation that had appeared in print in Basel in 1543. The other half included commentary that balanced anti-Islamic rhetoric with new interpretations of Muhammad's life and political role in pre-Islamic Arabia. Despite having been discredited almost immediately, the Alcorano was affordable, accessible, and widely distributed. In The Venetian Qur'an, Pier Mattia Tommasino uncovers the volume's mysterious origins, its previously unidentified author, and its broad, lasting influence. L'Alcorano di Macometto, Tommasino argues, served a dual purpose: it was a book for European refugees looking to relocate in the Ottoman Empire, as well as a general Renaissance reader's guide to Islamic history and stories. The book's translation and commentary were prepared by an unknown young scholar, Giovanni Battista Castrodardo, a complex and intellectually accomplished man, whose commentary in L'Alcorano di Macometto bridges Muhammad's biography and the text of the Qur'an with Machiavelli's The Prince and Dante's Divine Comedy. In the years following the publication of L'Alcorano di Macometto, the book was dismissed by Arabists and banned by the Catholic Church. It was also, however, translated into German, Hebrew, and Spanish and read by an extended lineage of missionaries, rabbis, renegades, and iconoclasts, including such figures as the miller Menocchio, Joseph Justus Scaliger, and Montesquieu. Through meticulous research and literary analysis, The Venetian Qur'an reveals the history and legacy of a fascinating historical and scholarly document.
