    Well I just scanned through his publication list,   dr. Walid  really did a good job in many of his publications.,   He Speaks DDL ... anyway interesting publication from him which I am going through now..

    The Preacher of the Meccan Quran: Deuteronomistic History and Confessionalism in Muhammads Early Preaching   by Walid A. Saleh
    Quote
    Abstract    There has been a trend in recent scholarship on the Qur'an to downplay the role of Muḥammad in delivering and preaching the Qur'an, such that one is almost presented with a disembodied Qur'an which has no relationship to his prophetic career. The disappearance of Muḥammad from the Qur'an, and the pretence that there is no preacher, allows for a radical rereading of the text, such that one can then claim not only that it is an outgrowth of a Christian preaching environment, but that the Qur'an's main audience was a Biblically-saturated community. However, there is also a more serious issue at hand. Our Fragestellung about what the Qur'an has to tell us about Muḥammad is problematic. It seeks to reconstruct his life in the manner of a nineteenth-century biography, outlining a linear and comprehensive life-story. The Qur'an is unlike the Gospels, we are repeatedly told: there is no sustained biography of Muḥammad there to be found, and no chronological order to its parts. Indeed, the mantra that the Qur'an does not tell us much about Muḥammad is now a truism in Qur'anic studies. However, the Qur'an is packed with information about Muḥammad: it is actually a record of his preaching.

    In this article I will investigate the most important details    we can find in the Qur'an about Muḥammad, and assess the image of the preacher of the Qur'an as fashioned there. I will then develop the historical implications of my analysis, and show that when we analyse the information in the Qur'an we can obtain historical information about Muḥammad, his community, and their respective ideas. The analysis will be confined to the image of Muḥammad in the Meccan parts of the Qur'an: the topic of his image in the Medinan Qur'an is a matter for another study.


    So it is life in Mecca and life in Medina ....  That 1st paragraph of his publication abstract itself makes me to read it carefully.....  good pub... good pub..

    Actually it makes sense to watch this video with Pieter Coppens before watching Walid Saleh’s video. Again it’s about the paradigm shift in the tafsir tradition in the 19th and 20th centuries.

    well whether it is  paradigm shift in the tafsir  or not., I am terrible in watching videos and thinking about the subject  but I am all for reading  of publications.....published at website/blogs or more importantly in books and journals dear zeca...

    well never heard of Pieter Coppens.... but web is there.. academia.edu is there..

    Pieter Coppens publications/blog/books/whatever

    well I am all for sufi  faiths/sufi stories   whatever that faith may be  but that is very little to do with origins and history of faiths.. Certainly Sufism softens everything with  songs/sonnets/poems and even  heckling 

    Did he do Tafsir on Quran???  if he did not he should do it..

    As I understand it it’s to do with a change from the Ottoman tradition of tafsir into what would develop into salafism, along with retrieving figures like Ibn Taymiyyah from complete obscurity and getting their works into print.

    Thanks for that. As an additional thought I wonder how much Islamic scholarship was written in Ottoman Turkish (i.e. usIng Arabic script) and as a result is now inaccessible to all but a handful of researchers. Presumably it was part of Ataturk’s intention with the language reform to cut off his people from their written traditions. The Soviet Union did something similar with Turkic languages and Persian in the same period. It’s open to speculation how much these and other related policies may have contributed to Saudi and Salafi ideas being able to be plausibly presented as the real Islam.

    Halil Simsek  - The Missing Link in the History of Quranic Commentary: The Ottoman Period and the Quranic Commentary of Ebussuud/Abū al- Su‛ūd al-‛Imādī (d. 1574 CE) Irshād al-‛aql al-salīm ilā mazāyā al-Kitāb al- Karīm (PhD thesis)

    https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/bitstream/1807/92054/3/Simsek_Halil_201811_PhD_thesis.pdf
    Quote
    Ottoman legacy of Quranic commentary is highly understudied, if not entirely neglected, in the Muslim and Western scholarship alike. The current study is two-pronged in orientation: in part one, we have striven to explore the current situation in the history and historiography of Quranic commentary and attempted to underline and identify some of the misconceptions and clichés with which the current research is imbued. This first part is complemented, in separate appendix, with a historical study of a verifiable output of Quranic commentaries authored by Ottoman scholars and/or composed during the Ottoman era and under their suzerainty. We have also surveyed Ottoman exegetical attempts and medieval studies undertaken by the Ottomans and associated with the history and historiography of Muslim exegetical studies, all for the purpose of presenting some identifiable features of Ottoman exegetical mindset.

    The second part of this study focuses on a particular Quranic commentary that was authored by an eminent Ottoman scholar and man of state, namely the Irshād al-‛aql al-salīm ilā mazāyā al-Kitāb al-Karīm [Guiding the sound mind to the distinguishing features of the Noble Book] of Ebussuud/Abū al-Su‛ūd al-‛Imādī (d. 1574). Our primary goal is to present a case study of a famous Ottoman exegetical work and pave the way for further studies of other Ottoman exegetical outputs in order to contribute to forming a comprehensive view on the Ottoman trajectory of Quranic commentary. Ebussuud’s commentary led us to determine the exegetical artery of knowledge to which the Ottomans viewed themselves heir. Though the Ottoman efforts in Quranic exegesis can broadly be categorized as reason and linguistic-based efforts, the presence of tradition-based approaches cannot be dismissed as negligible. The study of Irshād thus allows us to analyze a sample of how the tradition and reason-based approaches can be synthesized. Dynastic presence and political orientations are also more glaringly manifested in Ottoman scholarly and exegetical efforts. Irshād is also significant in terms of assessing the history of variant Quranic readings and represents a post-classical exegetical work by virtue of which we are better able to demonstrate how the field was still being contested between the exegetes and the specialists in Quranic readings. Ebussuud’s Quranic commentary furthermore is a study of previous exegetical corpus and it provides exceptional research tools for us to evaluate and assess other exegetical works. Irshād is a work of verification that aimed to determine concise exegetical implications of a given Quranic expression and winnow out innumerous propositions with which the previous exegetical corpus is teemed.

    Quote
    Nathan Spannaus - Preserving Islamic Tradition: Abu Nasr Qursawi and the Beginnings of Modern Reformism
    What were some of the major transformations taking place for Muslim communities in the Russian Empire of the eighteenth century? How did the introduction of a state-backed structure for Muslim religious institutions alter Islamic religious authority in the empire? And who exactly was Abu Nasr Qursawi and what was his reformist project to grapple with this situation?

    These are some of the questions asked by Nathan Spannaus in his book, Preserving Islamic Tradition: Abu Nasr Qursawi and the Beginnings of Modern Reformism (Oxford University Press, 2019). The book offers a novel intervention in the study of early-modern Islamic thought, whose conventional geographical contours often focus on the Middle East and South Asia. Spannaus shows us that eighteenth-century Russia was also blooming with its own indigenous Islamic scholarly discourses that encompassed theology, jurisprudence, philosophy, and more. These discourses were neither totally disembodied from wider concurrent global trends in Islamic thought, nor completely dependent on them. He examines the work of one Abu Nasr al-Qursawi, an erudite and intrepid scholar who criticized clerical institutions for stagnating the development of Islamic jurisprudence and theology by foreclosing independent juristic reasoning. In doing so, Spannaus meticulously demonstrates how Qursawi radically critiqued the established tradition while simultaneously embarking on his project of interpretive reform, all while maintaining fidelity to the discursive modes and fields of that tradition.

    zeca is running circles all over the globe around Islam and on the way he is also making me run in circles  Cheesy Cheesy  ..

    zeca made me to scan through  and run around.......  understanding Islam from a Canadian-Palestine guy ..dr. Walid A. Saleh and then to Sufi Islam of Pieter Coppens  after that to Turkey The  Ottoman Tafsir on Quran  and now to  Russia Abu Nasr Qursawi (1776–1812) who tried to reform of Islam in good old Russia ...... lol...

    well that book of Nathan Spannaus  is 75 American dollars..



    no chance buying and reading it..

    well instead of reading the book of Nathan Spannaus  on   Abu Nasr Qursawi  from his Ph. D. thesis of year 2013 ., well Abu Nasr Qursawi  was a sufi guy .. Sufi  Islam is different from Official Islam  which  stems from ruling elites such as Caliphs, and Mullah/Imams

    On Russian Islam in modern times.. it is better to start with  that 100 year old 1923  book of DE LACY " O 'LEARY ., ISLAM AT THE CROSS ROADS

    and come all the way to  modern  Russia  that puts out this picture



    with a heading  Top 100 Influential Russian Muslims’ Ranking Released by Local Media

    Question is WHY ISLAM NEEDS REFORMS??  and why Abu Nasr Qursawi (1776–1812) of Russia  or  before and after him many many folks with in Islam tried and failed to reform Islam??

    that   is an   important question to answer  dear Zeca and I am not sure these Idiotic  combination of Mullahs and ruling elite  could reform Islamic mindset of a society  through Mosques

    this is not done for 1400 years., and this route will not do anything on that in the next 1400 years.,it only leads to disasters.,   THE APPROACH HAS TO BE DIFFERENT

    Dr Christian Sahner was in conversation with Dr David Taylor about Christian's forthcoming book on the Christian "neomartyrs" of the early Islamic period. They discuss how the medieval Middle East transformed from a majority-Christian world to a majority-Muslim world and the role that violence played in the process. They also discuss how Christian communities composed hagiographic texts to memorialize this violence, and the role these sources played in shaping Christian identity across the early Muslim empire.

When and where were texts first translated after the rise of Islam? What was the "translation movement" and what was the political and social context of the movement? What was the motivation behind translating texts of certain topics and how did the change in social/religious atmospheres engender the translation of other texts? What was the "Bayt al Ḥikmah" and how has this been popularly understood? Who was translating? How was medicine practiced during these times? What was the status of medical knowledge of the human body like during this time? And more!

    Marina Rustow - The Cairo Genizah

    In this episode of the podcast, I spoke with Dr. Marina Rustow who is the director of the Princeton Genizah Lab and the Khedouri A Zilkha Professor of Jewish Civilization in the Near East at Princeton. She is also the director of the program of Near Eastern Studies. We spoke at length about the Cairo Genizah and what its findings can tell us about the everyday lives of people in Medieval Cairo, the world, and more.

    Nir Shafir - Vernacular Legalism in the Ottoman Empire: Confession, Law, and Popular Politics in the Debate over the “Religion of Abraham (millet-i Ibrāhīm)”

    https://brill.com/view/journals/ils/aop/article-10.1163-15685195-BJA10004/article-10.1163-15685195-BJA10004.xml?language=en

    In the seventeenth century, Ottoman jurists repeatedly tried to stop Muslims from stating that they “belonged to the religion of Abraham.” A century earlier, however, the expression had been a core part of the new confessional identity of the empire’s Muslims. This article explores how the phrase changed from an attestation of faith to a sign of heresy through a study of a short pamphlet by Minḳārīzāde Yaḥyā Efendi. Minḳārīzāde argued that the use of the phrase is not permissible and addressed his arguments not to learned scholars, but to the semi-educated. I argue that Minḳārīzāde’s pamphlet provides a glimpse into “vernacular legalism” in action in the Ottoman Empire, that is, how semi-educated audiences received and understood legal debates and subsequently turned law into a space of popular politics.

    1/8 Hello everyone, this is @Simon_W_Fuchs from @UniFreiburg. This week, I’ll be tweeting about modern Islam between the Middle East and South Asia. Today, this relationship is often seen in clear-cut, hierarchical terms of “center” and “periphery”. How did we get there?

    I wonder why this book has not been advertised more because to me it seems to be as important as Shahab Ahmed's What is Islam?

    "Two facts confront someone studying “Islam.” One is the astonishing variety of practices and beliefs that from place to place and time to time are considered to be Islam. The other is that Muslims, despite their manifest differences in practice and belief, tend to recognize each other as fellow Muslims and as distinct from others such as Hindus and Christians."

    Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything   
    I renounced my faith to become a kafir, 
    the beloved betrayed me and turned in to  a Muslim
