Muhammad Shibli Nomani
On the life and works of Muhammad Shibli Numani, 1857-1914, Islamic scholar and author.
Intellectual Modernism of Shibli Nuʼmani
This is an exposition of the pre-mode Indian thinker, Shibli Nu'mani, and his religious and political ideas. Originally presented as the author's thesis (M.A.), McGill University, 1973. In this book the learned authoress has studied Shibli Nu'mani at length in relation particularly to his religious and political writings, and has tried to bring to light, or rather to life, certain moribund aspects of Shibli's manifold intellectual personality. In the process she has been able to present a vastly modified picture especially of Shibli's religious thinking, and has generally shown that Shibli had a much more modern mind than he is usually credited with. "The debt of the scholarly community to the author; says Charles J. Adams in his Foreword to the book, is due not only for the first full-length study in English of a compelling personality and for the are and thoroughness with which the work has been done, but also for the liveliness of the style in which the whole is presented. Mrs. Murad has achieved a compact presentation of her subject in language that is clear, forceful and readable, making her book a pleasure to read." About Allama Shibli Nu'mani
Grief and the Shaping of Muslim Communities in North India, c. 1857–1940s
Drawing on approaches from the history of emotions, Eve Tignol investigates how they were collectively cultivated and debated for the shaping of Muslim community identity and for political mobilisation in north India in the wake of the Uprising of 1857 until the 1940s. Utilising a rich corpus of Urdu sources evoking the past, including newspapers, colonial records, pamphlets, novels, letters, essays and poetry, she explores the ways in which writing took on a particular significance for Muslim elites in North India during this period. Uncovering different episodes in the history of British India as vignettes, she highlights a multiplicity of emotional styles and of memory works, and their controversial nature. The book demonstrates the significance of grief as a proactive tool in creating solidarities and deepens our understanding of the dynamics behind collective action in colonial north India.
Islam and Competing Nationalisms in the Middle East, 1876-1926
Opposing a binary perspective that consolidates ethnicity, religion, and nationalism into separate spheres, this book demonstrates that neither nationalism nor religion can be studied in isolation in the Middle East. Religious interpretation, like other systems of meaning-production, is affected by its historical and political contexts, and the processes of interpretation and religious translation bleed into the institutional discourses and processes of nation-building. This book calls into question the foundational epistemologies of the nation-state by centering on the pivotal and intimate role Islam played in the emergence of the nation-state, showing the entanglements and reciprocities of nationalism and religious thought as they played out in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Middle East.

India's Princely States

The Language of Secular Islam
During the turbulent period prior to colonial India’s partition and independence, Muslim intellectuals in Hyderabad sought to secularize and reformulate their linguistic, historical, religious, and literary traditions for the sake of a newly conceived national public. Responding to the model of secular education introduced to South Asia by the British, Indian academics launched a spirited debate about the reform of Islamic education, the importance of education in the spoken languages of the country, the shape of Urdu and its past, and the significance of the histories of Islam and India for their present. The Language of Secular Islam pursues an alternative account of the political disagr...
