The 35:4 AJISS issue opens with an editorial that draws attention to the plight of the Uyghur Muslims of East Turkestan facing sustained Chinese government persecution. The issue then features two main articles. The first article, by Dr. Mohammad Syifa Amin Widigdo, argues that the Aristotelian dialectic was adopted within medieval Islamic theology and law and Christian scholasticism toward distinctive purposes: the Greeks aimed to defeat an opponent by showing logical contradictions, Christian scholastics searched for the truth by bringing out the preexisting truth in the mind of the teacher, and Muslim dialecticians employed it to arrive at a level of certainty in knowledge in both epistem...
In a richly narrated historical study, Youcef Soufi excavates an Islamic legal culture of critique from the 10th to 13th centuries. Focusing on the practice of munā.zara (disputation), Soufi explores how and why oral debates became a pervasive and revered part of the intellectual legal landscape of Iraq and Persia. Using the life and career of celebrated Iraqi jurist Abū Is.hāq al-Shīrāzī, he traces the formalization of debate gatherings at the dawn of the classical legal schools (al-madhāhib) in the early 10th century and analyzes the wider institutional, social, and discursive conditions that made debate an important feature of any jurist's practice. Pushing back against claims that...
The present edited volume offers a collection of new concepts and approaches to the study of mobility in pre-modern Islamic societies. It includes nine remarkable case studies from different parts of the Islamic world that examine the professional mobility within the literati and, especially, the social-cum-cultural group of Muslim scholars (ʿulamāʾ) between the eighth and the eighteenth centuries.

Pepatah boleh saja mengatakan, "Life begins at forty!"; tetapi bagi 33 penulis buku ini, "Hidup itu berawal dari Jember!" Anak-anak belia yang datang dari berbagai sudut Jawa Timur dan Jawa Tengah ini datang ke Jember kebanyakan dengan rasa minder. Meski mereka bangga menjadi salah satu yang terpilih dan menyingkirkan ratusan siswa terbaik dalam tahap seleksi, kebanyakan melihat dirinya tidak lebih baik dari teman-teman seangkatannya. Di tempat yang berbahasa Inggris adalah wajib, kebanyakan hanya bisa membunyikan sepatah dua patah kalimat. Di tempat yang membaca teks Arab adalah satu-satunya cara untuk mengakses pelajaran pokok, kebanyakan hanya mengerti nahw dan sharf dari pelajaran Bahasa...

Dalam sejarah Islam, beberapa tokoh ulama muncul sebagai pilar penegak kebenaran dan penjaga warisan keilmuan. Salah satu dari mereka adalah Imam al-Buwaithi, murid senior Imam Al-Shafi'i di Mesir, dan pengganti majelis selepas kewafatannya. Di buku ini, kita diajak menyelami kehidupan dan kiprah ilmiah Al-Buwaithi, menyaksikan perjuangannya dalam mempertahankan prinsip-prinsip kebenaran, bahkan di bawah tekanan besar fitnah "Khalqul Qur'an," sebuah ujian akidah besar yang menimpa para ulama pada masanya. Melalui penelitian mendalam dan narasi yang hidup, penulis mengungkapkan sosok Imam al-Buwaithi sebagai ulama yang tidak hanya teguh dalam keilmuan, tetapi juga tegar dalam keyakinan, meski akhirnya harus menghadapi cobaan berat. Buku ini juga memperkenalkan Mukhtashar Al-Buwaithi, ringkasan yang disusun oleh Imam al-Buwaithi dari ajaran gurunya, Imam al-Shafi'i, menjadikannya sebagai salah satu karya kunci dalam memahami pengembangan hukum Islam. Anda akan dibawa pada perjalanan intelektual dan spiritual seorang ulama besar yang terus memberikan inspirasi hingga hari ini. Pelajaran yang relevan bagi siapa saja yang mencari kebenaran di zaman modern.
