AB Offers an innovative study of traditional and new methodologies used to study IslamBrings together a set of international voices from a variety of disciplines and fields, including religious studies, theology, philosophy, law and historyOffers an overview of what methodologies are and how they have been used in the study of IslamChallenges existing paradigms by providing alternative systems for the study of IslamProvides a set of case studies based on primary sources in Islamic studiesRevisits understandings and misunderstandings in long-established academic traditions in the study of IslamPushes the study of Islam to the forefront of methodological considerationsMethods play a key role in how we access and subsequently organise data. There is a tendency, however, for scholars to focus primarily on their data at the expense of the methodological acts that bring such data into existence in the first place. The academic study of Islam is certainly no different in this regard. Indeed, many continue to employ established or classic methods that often echo (neo-)orientalist and other political inclinations. This collection, in contrast, offers an alternative, providing a set of multi-disciplinary approaches that focus on how we create, study and disseminate “Islamic data.”
