This notion is shared by both Muslims and non-Muslims and is reflected in writings ranging from public media to academic literature. The supposed Muslim bias against dogs is inferred primarily from two themes: (1) the emphasis that Muslim tradition lays on the principle of the impurity of dogs and (2) the objection to admitting these animals indoors and keeping them as pets. However, some have pointed out that an important exception to this rule is the Qur'ānic narrative of the Aṣḥāb al-Kahf, or the Companions of the Cave (also known as Ahl al-Kahf), in which a dog is a prominent feature. Previous academic discussions of this story, however, fall short of accounting for the full significance of this character. More than merely providing a favorable depiction of the dog, the Aṣḥāb al-Kahf pericope redefines the role and status of the dog in accordance with the Qur'ān's theocentric worldview. Moreover, even though the issues of the impurity of dogs and keeping them as pets are not discussed explicitly in the Qur'ān, they seem to be implicit in this Qur'ānic narrative, without conveying negative connotations. In this article I reexamine the Aṣḥāb al-Kahf pericope in light of current scholarship on dogs to consider how the Qur'ānic viewpoint agrees with or departs from cultural stances on dogs in world traditions, and how the Qur'ān inscribes its own worldview on the role and status of this animal.","PeriodicalId":388440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamic and Muslim Studies","volume":"275 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121260878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of the academic discourse on this subject has centered on the boundaries that religious dietary requirements create between an in-group of faithful adherents to the religion and an out-group of those who do not belong. Republican China (1920–1949), with its significant population of Hui and Uyghur Muslims largely concentrated in the northwestern and southeastern parts of the country, offers a new window onto this picture of socialization through commensality. The present article flips the ethnographic lens from viewing Muslim communities alone to viewing the historical perspective of outsiders who interacted and broke bread with Muslims in the Republican period, thus bringing to the surface heretofore overlooked factors that impacted the process of Muslim social boundary-making through consumption. This approach contributes to the historiography and anthropology of Islam in China by spotlighting discretionary agency and by moving away from a focus on practices of exclusivity on the part of Muslim populations or strategies of coercive repression on the part of the nation-state. This has become especially important since the rise of Communism in China, for fasting is one of the rituals of overt religiosity that the communist state has been keen to suppress. From a comparative perspective, this article also demonstrates that gender, class asymmetries, and politics may be as crucial as religion in explaining the dining strategies of Muslim minority communities.","PeriodicalId":388440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamic and Muslim Studies","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134407991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The field of Qur'ānic studies has been no exception. For example, in 1944 the Arab Feminist Conference demanded restoration of women's rights in light of the correct understanding of the teachings of the Qur'ān. Since that time, Qur'ānic verses on women have been the focus of much research. However, little attention in this regard has been paid to Qur'ān translations. Can Qur'ān translations present images of women differently from the original text? To answer this question, this article attempts an intertextual, intratextual, and contextual analysis of the Qur'ān in Arabic and six widely used English translations. It argues that intertextual, intratextual, and contextual analyses are indispensable for the accurate translation of the Qur'ān and they can open up the text for wider interpretations instead of limiting its meaning and restricting its interpretation. In addition, this article highlights the role that translation plays in reinforcing specific interpretations as the \"only acceptable\" meaning of the Qur'ān.","PeriodicalId":388440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamic and Muslim Studies","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127429728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digitality is a continuation of Orientalism, or a Eurocentric power/knowledge project of (continued) global domination. Given Eurocentrism’s inherent racism, given digitality’s omnipresence, and given that Islamophobia is the paradigmatic example of racism, it is inevitable that there will be more and more anti-Islamic/anti-Muslim sentiments throughout the world. This essay is an examination of the ways in which politics in the digital age are reconfigured to fit specific parameters preordained by the digital sphere, and, concurrently, ideas around Islam and Muslimness—whether according to the wider social (media) landscape or by Muslim actors themselves—are also significantly re-shaped by digitality. Digital Islam is disrupting traditional ulematic authority in ways never seen before. This is because authority/knowledge within the interactive spaces of Web 2.0 is dissected, reconfigured and reassembled as another kind of knowledge. Digitality is challenging various branches of Islam (whether Shia, Sunni, Wahhabi, or what have you), when it comes to their authority, not least because traditional Islamic authorities have to now—consciously and unconsciously—comport themselves and their message to the logic of digitality.","PeriodicalId":388440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamic and Muslim Studies","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128981557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
