The People of the Book and the People of the Dubious Book (Penerbit USM)
The question of the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitāb) has long been of central significance to Islam and later to the study of comparative religion. It becomes more crucial when Abū al-Fath Muhammad ‘Abd al-Karīm al-Shahrastānī (d.548/1153) develops another category known as “Man Lahu Shubhat Kitāb” (those who possess doubtful sacred scrolls) or “Ahl Shubhat Kitāb” (the People of a Dubious Book). The present book thus is of importance as it highlights the nature of the People of the Book and the People of a Dubious Book as understood in the Qur’ān and Islamic religious tradition. The discussion is carried out both by analyzing Islam as the only genuinely revealed religion...
The Kingdom and the Qur’an
This book presents a detailed analysis of the translation of the Qur’an in Saudi Arabia, the most important global actor in the promotion, production and dissemination of Qur’an translations. From the first attempts at translation in the mid-twentieth century to more recent state-driven efforts concerned with international impact, The Kingdom and the Qur’an adeptly elucidates the link between contemporary Islamic theology and the advent of modern print culture. It investigates this critical juncture in both Middle Eastern political history and the intellectual evolution of the Muslim world, interweaving literary, socio-historical, and socio-anthropological threads to depict the intricate backdrop of the Saudi ‘Qur'an translation movement’. Mykhaylo Yakubovych provides a comprehensive historical overview of the debates surrounding the translatability of the Qur'an, as well as exploring the impact of the burgeoning translation and dissemination of the holy book upon Wahhabi and Salafi interpretations of Islam. Backed by meticulous research and drawing on a wealth of sources, this work illuminates an essential facet of global Islamic culture and scholarly discourse.
An Anxious Inheritance
An Anxious Inheritance examines the role of the ever-expandable category of "non-Muslims" in early Islam. It demonstrates how the Qur'an functioned as both a script to understand them and as a map to classify them, and this category's role in shaping (Sunni) orthodoxy. This orthodoxy was considered natural, but in fact it was based on retroactive back-projections. Non-Muslims and the "wrong" kinds of Muslims became integral to understanding what true religion was not and what it should be. These non-Muslims were rarely real individuals or groups; rather, they functioned as textual foils that could be conveniently orchestrated, and ultimately controlled, to facilitate self-definition.

Islam Vs Pluralisme Agama
Apakah Islam anti toleransi? Apakah Islam tidak menghargai keyakinan agama lain? Bagaimana cara pandang Islam dalam membangun hubungan yang harmonis antar umat beragama? Pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut akan dijawab dalam buku ini. Penulis berusaha memaparkannya secara argumentatif dan ilmiah, sebagai wacana membangun dialog antar umat agama yang sehat dan menjawab penyimpangan-penyimpangan tafsir yang keliru dari isu-isu tersebut. "Dalam pluralisme, terlebih yang menekankan kesatuan transenden agama-agama, setiap karakter, ajaran dan identitas yang menjadi ciri khas setiap agama "diatur", dikompromikan dan didamaikan" hingga masing-masing menjadi "agama baru" sesuai rezim politik yang berkuas...
