| Summary: | The development of Islamic landscapes in Europe, is first and foremost related to Islamic authority. Religious authority relies on persuasiveness and deals with issues of truth, authenticity, legitimacy, trust, and ethics with reference to religious matters. This study argues that Islamic authority-making among European Muslims is a social and relational practice that is much broader and versatile than theological proficiency and personal status. It can also be conferred to objects, activities, and events. The book explores various ways in which Islamic authority is being constituted among Muslims in Western Europe with a particular focus on the role of ‘ordinary’ Muslims. This book is available in its entirety in Open Access Die Entwicklung islamischer Landschaften in Europa ist in erster Linie mit islamischer Autorität verbunden. Religiöse Autorität beruht auf Überzeugungskraft und befasst sich mit Fragen der Wahrheit, Authentizität, Legitimität, des Vertrauens und der Ethik in Bezug auf religiöse Angelegenheiten. Diese Studie argumentiert, dass islamische Autorität unter europäischen Muslimen eine soziale und relationale Praxis ist, die weit über theologische Kompetenz und persönlichen Status hinausgeht und sich auch auf Objekte, Aktivitäten und Ereignisse beziehen kann. Das Buch untersucht verschiedene Wege, wie islamische Autorität unter Muslimen in Westeuropa konstituiert wird, mit besonderem Fokus auf die Rolle „einfacher“ Muslime. [Mit KI übersetzt] |
