Abstract
In his introduction to the multi-volume reference work Voices of Islam, Vincent J. Cornell wrote: “It has long been a truism to say that Islam is the most misunderstood religion in the world. However, the situation expressed by this statement is more than a little ironic because Islam is also on of the most studied religions in the world, after Christianity and Judaism” (Cornell, 2007, vii). The Editorial Board of the Journal of Religious and Theological Information is pleased to announce this special double issue devoted to Islam. Included in this special issue are five studies devoted to the history and phenomenology of religion from an Islamic perspective: Early Muslim Scholars in Religionswissenchaft: A Study of Zoroastrianism in Islamic Religious Traditions (Muhammad Azizan Subjan), Resisting Anthropomorphism: Evaluation of Abū Sulaymān Al-Khaṭṭābī’s (D. 388/998) Approach to Ṣifāt Traditions (Umar Muhammad Noor and Usman Abur Hamdi), The Symbolic Efficacy of Plants in Rituals and Socio-Religious Ceremonies in Morocco, Northwest of Africa (Noureddine Chaachouay and Lahcen Zidane), Presence, Manifestation, and Visitation in Abrahamic Religions: The Notion of “Presence” in Shi’ism (Seyed Amir Hossein Asghari), Analysis of Friday Sermon Duration: Intellectual Reflection of Classical and Contemporary Islamic Scholars (Usman Abur Hamdi and Azwar Iskandar) and What Can the Prophet Muhammad Teach us About Pandemics? (Abdulaziz BinTaleb and Ahmad Y. Aseery). Researchers looking further for authentic voices describing their Islamic faith can be referred to “What is Sunni Islam?”, “What I Shiite Islam?”, and “What is Sufism?”, all of which can be found in the first volume of Cornell’s work.
在多卷本参考书《伊斯兰之声》(Voices of Islam)的引言中,文森特·j·康奈尔(Vincent J. Cornell)写道:“伊斯兰教是世界上被误解最多的宗教,这早已成为不言自明的事实。然而,这种说法所表达的情况有点讽刺,因为伊斯兰教也是世界上研究最多的宗教之一,仅次于基督教和犹太教”(Cornell, 2007, vii)。《宗教与神学信息杂志》的编辑委员会很高兴地宣布这一期专门讨论伊斯兰教的特别双刊。本期特刊包括五篇从伊斯兰角度研究宗教历史和现象学的论文:《早期穆斯林学者在宗教瑞士:伊斯兰宗教传统中的琐罗亚斯德教研究》(穆罕默德·阿兹赞·苏比扬)、《抵制拟人论》;评估abi Sulaymān Al-Khaṭṭābī (D. 388/998)对Ṣifāt传统(Umar Muhammad Noor和Usman Abur Hamdi),摩洛哥仪式和社会宗教仪式中植物的象征功效,非洲西北部(Noureddine Chaachouay和lahen Zidane),亚伯拉罕宗教的存在,表现和访问:什叶派“存在”的概念(Seyed Amir Hossein Asghari),周五布道持续时间的分析:古典和当代伊斯兰学者(乌斯曼·阿布·哈姆迪和阿兹瓦尔·伊斯干达)的思想反思和先知穆罕默德能教给我们关于流行病的什么?(Abdulaziz BinTaleb和Ahmad Y. asery)。研究人员进一步寻找描述他们伊斯兰信仰的真实声音,可以参考“什么是逊尼派伊斯兰教?”、“什么是什叶派伊斯兰?”以及“什么是苏菲主义?”,所有这些都可以在康奈尔作品的第一卷中找到。
