Abstract

Abstract:Few works in recent years have enriched the study of Islamic law quite like Faiz Ahmed's Afghanistan Rising: Islamic Law and Statecraft between the Ottoman and British Empires. The book presents an opportunity to interrogate prevailing historiographical debates about the "codification" of Islamic law (as opposed to its "compilation"), and to account for processes of divergence in Islamic legal culture across Eurasia. This response explores some of the prevailing tensions among Ottoman, Afghan, and Indian experts in early twentieth-century Afghanistan. These stemmed from the dissimilar legal training acquired by the actors and the varying character of Islamic modernism in each geographical context. A focus on diverse intellectual trajectories and competing visions of Islamic law furnishes a useful means for accounting for the aporia endemic to Aman Allah's modernizing project.
伊斯兰现代主义、Hanafi Mazhab与Aman Allah的阿富汗法典编纂
摘要:近年来,很少有像法伊斯·艾哈迈德的《阿富汗崛起:奥斯曼帝国与大英帝国之间的伊斯兰法律与治国方略》这样丰富伊斯兰法律研究的著作。这本书提供了一个机会来审问关于伊斯兰法律“编纂”(而不是“编纂”)的主流历史辩论,并解释欧亚大陆伊斯兰法律文化的分歧过程。这一回应探讨了20世纪初阿富汗奥斯曼帝国、阿富汗和印度专家之间的一些普遍紧张关系。这源于行为者所接受的不同的法律培训,以及伊斯兰现代主义在每个地理背景下的不同特征。对伊斯兰法律的不同知识轨迹和相互竞争的愿景的关注为解释Aman Allah现代化项目特有的aporia提供了一种有用的手段。
