In Ethics and Analogy (Qiyās) in 5th/11th Century Islamic Legal Theory Felicitas Opwis presents how ʿAbd al-Jabbār, Abū l-Ḥusayn al-Baṣrī, al-Dabbūsī, al-Shīrāzī, and al-Juwaynī relate the ethical status of acts to their legal norm, and whether they apply the ethical content of divine rulings in the procedure of analogy when extending laws to new circumstances. The study draws attention to theological worldview as an explanatory factor of norm construction and a jurist’s approach to identifying the ratio legis of divine rulings. The book traces the shift, fully articulated later by al-Ghazālī, toward understanding the purpose of the divine law as attaining people’s maṣlaḥa in this life, which enables extending the law outside of Scripture and supports Ashʿarī legal universalism.

Abū Yazīd al-Basṭāmī (d. ca 234/848), popularly known as “Bāyazīd”, remains one of the most celebrated yet controversial figures in the history of Islamic mysticism. This in-depth study of his life and teachings is based on the earliest available sources. The book sets out in detail what is known of Bāyazīd’s family, his education, his disciples and associates. It explores the distinctive rhetoric that has made some of his sayings so memorable, and shows how his mode of expression adds a sense of urgency, often drama, to quite conventional doctrines of Sufism.
Through the varied corpus of his sayings, this study traces Bāyazīd’s teachings concerning many aspects of the mystical path, as well as his reflections on God, the Prophet, heaven and hell. Having considered his role as spiritual master, his favourable view of women and his place in the wider community, the study then turns to the controversial side of Bāyazīd: his apparently blasphemous utterances, and his so-called miʿrāj. The book goes on to explore how the two seemingly contradictory sides to Bāyazīd might be reconciled, and finally, provides a brief survey of the extent of his influence on later Sufism and its literature.

An Annotated Translation of Qawāʿid al-Taṣawwuf by Shaykh Aḥmad Zarrūq al-Fāsī (d. 899/1493)
Series:
Studies on Sufism, Volume: 10
Editor:
Ahmad Zarruq, a 15th-century North African Sufi, turned his considerable intellect towards integrating theology, Islamic law and the spiritual path. His model of a jurisprudentially-grounded Sufism is as relevant today as when he presented it to a mediaeval audience, using an aphoristic style tailored to his educated readership. The current growth of puritanical movements in the Islamic world makes Zarruq’s Foundations of Sufism a must-read for scholars, educators and those seeking to reconcile various interpretations of the faith. The author of this fresh translation, an Arabic and Classical Sufism scholar, consulted newly-discovered manuscripts in preparing his critical edition of this seminal work.

قراءات في عيون التراث الأخلاقي الإسلامي
Volume Editor:
This book transcends the narrow philosophical concept of ethics confined to the Greek model, demonstrating that “Islamic ethics” is an interdisciplinary field. It encompasses both theoretical and practical ethics, incorporating disciplines such as Qurʾān, ḥadīth, biography of the Prophet (sīra), theology (kalām), jurisprudence (fiqh), Sufism, and philosophy. The book provides analytical readings of a list of Islamic ethical heritage sources covering a period from the 3rd/9th to the 8th/14th century. It emphasises two ideas: first, the richness and diversity of ethical perspectives within Islamic tradition, showcasing multiple approaches including the Greek philosophical, narrative, and analytical approach belonging to other disciplines beyond philosophy. Second, it challenges the perception of scarcity in ethical sources within Islamic civilization.

يتجاوز هذا الكتاب المفهوم الفلسفي الضيق للأخلاق الذي انحبس في النموذج اليوناني، ويُظهر أن "الأخلاق الإسلامية" حقلٌ متعدد التخصصات. فمن جهة، يشمل الأخلاق النظرية والعملية. ومن جهة أخرى، يستوعب مختلف التخصصات مثل القرآن، والحديث، والسيرة النبوية، وعلوم الكلام والفقه والتصوف والفلسفة. يقدّم الكتاب قراءات تحليلية لقائمة من مصادر التراث الأخلاقي الإسلامي التي تغطي فترة زمنية تمتد من القرن الثالث إلى القرن الثامن الهجريين. ويلح الكتاب على فكرتين: الأولى: ثراء التصورات الأخلاقية وتنوعها داخل التراث الإسلامي؛ حيث نرى فيه أنماطًا متعددة كالنمط الفلسفي اليوناني، والنمط النصي السردي، والنمط التحليلي الذي ينتمي إلى تخصصات أخرى غير الفلسفة. والثانية: سعة التراث الأخلاقي الإسلامي بعد أن ساد تصورٌ يرى أن مصادر الأخلاق شحيحة في الحضارة الإسلامية.
