Litany For Seeking Favour Of The One In Whose Hand Is The Soul Of My Beloved
Among the countless blessings of my Creator upon me is that I have been twice granted the means and opportunity to visit the Holy cities of Makkah and al-Madinah. May Allah grant this earthly Mi’raj to all our brothers and sisters. The second time was between completion of my medical degree at the University of Oxford and starting work as a doctor. In preparation I did some research and bought two books, Imam Jazuli’s Dala’il al-Khayrat, and Khazeena-e-Darood Sharif – a large collection of litanies for sending peace and blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him). My intention was to recite these while seated as a guest at the illuminated shrine of the chosen one (peace be upon hi...
Jews and Muslims in Lower Yemen
This fascinating microhistory unveils networks of extended interpersonal relationships between Jewish villagers and members of their Muslim surroundings in the decades preceding their 1949 departure from Lower Yemen. In a multi-layered narrative crafted from letters and legal documents in Arabic and an accompanying supply of Judeo-Arabic narratives, the book portrays how religiously subordinated individuals strove to pursue their interests without forgoing the protection of the dominant majority. At once shedding new light on both Jewish history and on rural Yemeni-Muslim history, the work provides a rare, pre-republican (pre-1962) portrait of rural life in Lower Yemen while positioning the Jewish community in the context of hitherto little-understood social, legal, economic and political systems.

Reading Darwin in Arabic, 1860-1950
In Reading Darwin in Arabic, Marwa Elshakry questions current ideas about Islam, science, and secularism by exploring the ways in which Darwin was read in Arabic from the late 1860s to the mid-twentieth century. Borrowing from translation and reading studies and weaving together the history of science with intellectual history, she explores Darwin’s global appeal from the perspective of several generations of Arabic readers and shows how Darwin’s writings helped alter the social and epistemological landscape of the Arab learned classes. Providing a close textual, political, and institutional analysis of the tremendous interest in Darwin’s ideas and other works on evolution, Elshakry sh...
Sufi Women of South Asia
In Sufi Women of South Asia. Veiled Friends of God, the first biographical compendium of hundred and forty-one women, from the eleventh to the twentieth century, Tahera Aftab fills a serious gap in the existing scholarship regarding the historical presence of women in Islam and brings women to the centre of the expanding literature on Sufism. The book’s translated excerpts from the original Farsi and Urdu sources that were never put together create a much-needed English-language source base on Sufism and Muslim women. The book questions the spurious religious and cultural traditions that patronise gender inequalities in Muslim societies and convincingly proves that these pious women were exemplars of Islamic piety who as true spiritual masters avoided its public display.
