Diary of a Colonized Native
INSPIRATIONAL SOLIDARITY MESSAGE FROM A FULL-BLOODED NATIVE BROTHER Go on dear brother, forward with your traverse! While in partnership I will awaken the learned, the unlearned, devoted readers of books, the untiring users of shovels and axes and the alien bearers of silver, golden and diamond stars. And if and when, you succumb to the natural realm of eternal blissful life, rest assured, great brother, your historic journey shall continue still, to the farthest land our echoes can reverberate and dwell. Still to victory or martyrdom! Sambas S Omar
The Literature of Islam
This book introduces the literature of Islam as it is presented in English translation. For scholars in other fields who need to understand the vast and complex literary heritage of this erudite and vigorous faith community (but are unable to devote years of their lives to achieving a reading proficiency in classical Arabic), for faculty members called upon to teach introductory or survey courses outside their own disciplines, and for graduate students in theology, medieval studies, world religions, or related fields who need access to these primary sources in English translation, The Literature of Islam is a welcome resource. Even lay readers who are interested in understanding the modern A...
Engaging Authority
Engaging Authority: Citizenship and Political Community aims to explore how authority is entailed in different versions of citizenship and political community. Who or what claims authority in the name of “a people,” and to what effect? What kind and scope of authority is claimed? And who is held to be part of such a people”? Engaging Authority brings together scholars from anthropology, constitutional studies, cultural studies, politics, political theory, sociology, and philosophy in a collaborative project to develop a multifaceted understanding of citizenship in political community. The volume begins with the premise that to describe or identify oneself as a citizen entails a particu...
Religious Imaginations
Market globalization, technology, climate change, and postcolonial political forces are together forging a new, more modern world. However, caught up in the mix are some powerful religious narratives that are galvanizing peoples and reimagining – and sometimes stifling – the political and social order. Some are repressive, fundamentalist imaginations, such as the so-called Islamic Caliphate. Others could be described as post-religious, such as the evolution of universal human rights out of the European Christian tradition. But the question of the compatibility of these religious worldviews, particularly those that have emerged out of the Abrahamic faith traditions, is perhaps the most pressing issue in global stability today. What scope for dialogue is there between the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian ways of imagining the future? How can we engage with these multiple imaginations to create a shared and peaceful global society? Religious Imaginations is an interdisciplinary volume of both new and well-known scholars exploring how religious narratives interact with the contemporary geopolitical climate.
The (Un)Translatability of Qur’anic Idiomatic Phrasal Verbs
Qur’anic idiomaticity, in its all aspects, poses a great deal of challenge to Qur’an readers, learners, commentators, and translators. One of the most challenging aspects of Qur’anic idiomaticity is Qur’anic idiomatic phrasal verbs, where significances of proper Arabic verbs are entirely fused with significances of prepositions following them to produce new significances that have nothing to do with the basic significances of those verbs and prepositions. By examining a corpus of ten of the most influential English translations of the Qur’an, this study scrutinizes how some translators of the Qur’an have dealt with the phenomenon of Qur’anic idiomatic phrasal verbs, the difficu...
What the Qur'an Says
It is unfortunate that Islam is a most misunderstood religion in the world. Many Non-Muslims have misgivings about Islam due to prejudice and ignorance and also for the actions of some sections of Muslims who manipulate the teachings of the Qur'an according to their vested interests or half-baked knowledge. This book throws light on the actual Qur'anic guidance on the religious, familial, social, economic and other aspects of life quoting relevant verses from the Qur'an. It is hoped that both the Non-Muslims and Muslims worldwide will evince keen interest in this book, especially since many Islamic issues have been raised in recent years. The Qur'an says that it "is the Book(Qur'an) wherein there is no doubt, a guidance for the people who believe."(Surah Al Baqara verse 2) The Qur'an also mentions that "God has sent down to you the Book(Qur'an) in truth, confirming the Scriptures revealed before it. He sent down the Taurat(Tora) and the Injil(Gospel)."(Surah Al Imran verse 3)
The Koran in English
For millions of Muslims, the Qur'an is sacred only in Arabic, the original Arabic in which it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century; to many Arab and non-Arab believers alike, the book literally defies translation. Yet English translations exist and are growing, in both number and importance. Bruce Lawrence tells the remarkable story of the ongoing struggle to render the Qur'an's lyrical verses into English--and to make English itself an Islamic language. The "Koran" in English revisits the life of Muhammad and the origins of the Qur'an before recounting the first translation of the book into Latin by a non-Muslim: Robert of Ketton's twelfth-century version paved the wa...
