SUMMARY:Lecture: Calligraphy\, Meet Street Art\, Ubaydallah Ahmad and Ismael Muhammad Nieves\, Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, April 27\, 2025 @ 2:00 – 3:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:From the Boston MFA: \n“Ubaydallah Ahmad and Ismael Muhammad Nieves might seem like very different artists. Muhammad is rooted in street art and imbeds narratives in his works that echoes graffiti’s love of letters. Ahmed was trained in Arabic-script calligraphy\, including some of the earliest Arabic scripts found in Qurʾan manuscripts. But both artists are also Muslim and they think about what it means to be a Muslim artist\, especially in public spaces—both in museums and galleries\, but also in the streets. \nJoin us for a conversation between Ubaydallah Ahmad and Ish Muhammad about art\, Islam\, and public spaces. \nUbaydallah Ahmad\, artist \nIsmael Muhammad Nieves\, artist” \nFor more details\, please visit the MFA’s website here.

SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “A Cultural History of the Arabic Book: Digital Explorations of Writerly Practices and Text Reuse” by Sarah Savant\, Program in Islamic Law\, April 8\, 2025 @ 12:30 – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, April 8\, 2025\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST via Zoom\, Professor Sarah Savant (Aga Khan University) will present “A Cultural History of the Arabic Book: Digital Explorations of Writerly Practices and Text Reuse.” This talk explores how one could reconstruct how major authors in the Arabic language from the eighth to sixteenth centuries wrote their books– the sources they used\, what they copied out\, and the scholars they knew. For most of these authors\, reusing earlier works was the starting point for creating new ones. They abbreviated long works to make short ones\, commented on short ones to make long ones\, and mined general histories to compose works on specific themes. In these and many other ways\, authors produced an enormously intertextual tradition\, shaping how later individuals and communities would remember their pasts and conceive of their affiliations to groups bound by locality\, profession\, religion\, tribe\, ethnicity and other shared traits. To make the reconstruction of these relations possible on a large scale\, the KITAB (Knowledge\, Information Technology\, & the Arabic Book) project built a digital corpus of thousands of these early Arabic books comprising more than two billion words. The talk addresses topics ranging from religion\, philosophy and language to history\, geography\, medicine and astronomy\, that were written over the first ten centuries of Islam in a region spanning from modern Spain to Central and South Asia. The team then utilized a text reuse detection algorithm to create an original data set that documents word-for-word relationships among all these books. This talk will visualize and investigate the broad patterns of text reuse using the KITAB data set and forensically analyze individual works to observe the tradition both from a satellite perspective and through a microscope\, as it were. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture: “Law\, Ethics\, and the History of the Islamic Marriage Contract” with Marion Holmes Katz\, University of California Irvine\, February 13\, 2025 @ 8-9 PM ET
DESCRIPTION:“Law\, Ethics\, and the History of the Islamic Marriage Contract” \nWelcoming guest lecturer Marion Holmes Katz\, Professor at New York University. \nMarion Holmes Katz is a Professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York University. Her work focuses on the history of Islamic legal thought\, primarily in the 11th-15th centuries CE\, with an emphasis on issues of gender and ritual. She is particularly interested in the conceptual structures of legal works and how Islamic legal thought relates to other normative discourses that were authoritative for premodern Muslims. She is also interested in the ongoing life of these texts (and of Islamic law) in modernity. Professor Katz is the author of five books\, including Women in the Mosque: A History of Legal Thought and Social Practice; Prayer in Islamic Thought and Practice; and The Birth of the Prophet Muhammad: Devotional Piety in Sunni Islam\, as well as many academic articles. Her most recent book\, Wives and Work: Islamic Law and Ethics Before Modernity (2022)\, uses the disputed status of wives’ domestic labor as a window into deeper debates about the structure of the Muslim marriage contract and the nature of the rights and obligations that were exchanged between the spouses. Professor Katz holds a Ph.D. from the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago and a BA from Yale University. \nAdvanced registration is required to attend this event. \nFor registration and further details\, see here.

SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “The Making of the Modern Muslim State: Islam and Governance in the Middle East and North Africa (Princeton University Press\, 2024)\,” Malika Zeghal\, Program in Islamic Law\, February 11\, 2025 @ 12:30 – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, February 11\, 2025\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST via Zoom\, Professor Malika Zeghal (Harvard University) will present The Making of the Modern Muslim State: Islam and Governance in the Middle East and North Africa (Princeton University Press\, 2024). This book reframes the role of Islam in modern Middle East governance. Challenging other accounts that claim that Middle Eastern states turned secular in modern times\, Professor Zeghal shows instead the continuity of the state’s custodianship of Islam as the preferred religion. Drawing on intellectual\, political\, and economic history\, she traces this custodianship from early forms of constitutional governance in the nineteenth century through post–Arab Spring experiments in democracy. She argues that the intense debates around the implementation and meaning of state support for Islam led to a political cleavage between conservatives and their opponents that long predated the polarization of the twentieth century that accompanied the emergence of mass politics and Islamist movements. Examining constitutional projects\, public spending\, school enrollments\, and curricula\, Professor Zeghal shows that although modern Muslim-majority polities have imported Western techniques of governance\, the state has continued to protect and support the religion\, community\, and institutions of Islam. She finds that even as Middle Eastern states have expanded their nonreligious undertakings\, they have dramatically increased their per capita supply of public religious provisions\, especially Islamic education—further feeding the political schism between Islamists and their adversaries. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Seminar: “An Eastern Gaze: The Making of an Islamic Archive in Early Modern China” with Dror Weil\, Princeton University\, January 27\, 2025 @ 12:00 – 1:20 PM
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nMid-16th century China saw a surprising emergence of a network of local savants who shared an interest in the exploration of Arabic and Persian texts. To that end\, they undertook extensive searches for Arabic and Persian manuscripts\, forgotten in libraries or newly brought to China along a growing influx of foreign visitors\, and meticulously studied their contents. This talk will tell the rather unique story of the hundreds of Arabic and Persian works that circulated in China between the 16th and 18th centuries. It will explore the scholarly practices by which Chinese savants read\, interpreted\, and remade Arabo-Persian works\, while bridging the cultural\, linguistic and epistemic differences. It will shed light on some of the inherent challenges of domesticating a foreign textual archive at the margins of a literary tradition\, and the incentives to transform the traditional manuscript-based scholarship into print. Dror Weil is an Assistant Professor in History of Early Modern Asia (East Asia and the Islamicate World) at Faculty of History\, University of Cambridge and an Official Fellow of King’s College Cambridge. He is a member at the Institute for Advanced Study during the academic year 2024/2025. Dror graduated from Princeton University in 2016. \nFor more details\, visit here.

SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “On Theocratic Criminal Law: The Rule of Religion and Punishment in Iran\,” Bahman Khodadadi\, Program in Islamic Law\, December 10\, 2024 @ 12:30 – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, December 10\, 2024\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST\, Dr. Bahman Khodadadi (Harvard Law School) will present On Theocratic Criminal Law: The Rule of Religion and Punishment in Iran (Oxford University Press\, 2024). This talk explores the roots and structures of the criminal law system of the world’s most prominent constitutional theocracy\, the Shīʿī theocracy. While discussing the processes of de-westernization which occurred in the wake of the Islamic Revolution\, this work examines how the Islamic conception of civil order and polity has been established within the legal and theological framework of the Iranian Constitution. The presentation offers a ‘rational reconstruction’ of the theocratic criminal law and offers a critical analysis of the way criminal law functions as the centerpiece of this mode of theocratic domination. It illuminates how this revelation-based\, punitive ideology functions\, how the current Islamic Penal Code mirrors prevailing Shīʿī jurisprudence. It also explores the jurisprudential principles and dynamic power of Shīʿī Islam not only as a driving force behind political and social change but as a force that has been capable of forging a whole theocratic legal system. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Fall 2024 Lester Lecture: “Polyvalence\, Ambiguity and the Politics of Islamic Studies” with  Dr. Marion Katz\, University of Colorado Boulder\, November 14\, 2024 @ 5:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:“Over the last several decades\, polyvalence (in the sense of the simultaneous recognition of multiple potentially valid meanings) and the related phenomenon of ambiguity have become established themes –and implicitly central values- of the western academic study of premodern Islam. Conversely\, accounts of the impact of colonialism and the transition to modern forms of Islamic thought have often thematized the rise of monovalent and unambiguous ways of reading and thinking. This trend has helpfully highlighted the diversity and richness of premodern Islamic thought. However\, it has also become a trope with unexamined political valences.” \n“Marion Katz is a Professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York University. Her books include Prayer in Islamic Thought and Practice (2013)\, Women in the Mosque: A History of Legal Thought and Social Practice (2014)\, and Wives and Work: Islamic Law and Ethics Before Modernity (2022).” \n“This event is free and open to the public. Snacks and refreshments will be served.” \nFor more details\, see here.

SUMMARY:Islamic Law Speaker Series: “Islamic Apocalyptic Jurisprudence: End-Times Law in Sunnī and Shīʿī Discourses” by Ali Rod Khadem\, Program in Islamic Law\, November 12\, 2024 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 12\, 2024\, at 12:30-1:30PM US EST\, Professor Ali Rod Khadem (Suffolk University) will present “Islamic Apocalyptic Jurisprudence: End-Times Law in Sunnī and Shīʿī Discourses” (Islamic Law and Society 31 (3)\, 2024). This talk explores theories of the final legal system that will govern humanity in the End Times\, as envisioned in the apocalyptic discourses of several Sunnī and Shīʿī case studies. Key themes include the sources of law\, the role of jurists\, conflicts between Islamic\, Jewish\, Christian\, and international legal systems\, changes to classical Islamic legal theory\, and the introduction of new laws and policies in the apocalyptic era. The presentation will highlight how the lens of apocalypticism enables movements and thinkers to advocate for radical changes to the foundations and particulars of Islamic law\, while still claiming to operate within the boundaries of Islamic orthodoxy. Registration is required.
