1 Islam: Introduction to the History of the Religion and Civilization Dr. Yusri Ali Hazran Tentative Syllabus -- Spring 2014 The main purpose of this course, "Islam: Introduction to the History of the Religion and Civilization is to debunk the tendentious and essential concept of Islam as a monolithic entity without nuances of plurality, internal dynamics, and historical complexities. Since its inception in the seventh century, Islamic civilization has been diverse, witnessing the development of many movements and divisions. Hence, this course will trace the intellectual, cultural, and dogmatic developments and changes Islam has witnessed since the emergence of the prophet Muhammad and the advent of Islam in the seventh century up to the rise of present-day political Islam movements. The course will be divided into four main sections. The first will deal with the historical and intellectual sources of Islam; the Prophet Muhammad's religious world; the uniqueness of the holy text of the Quran; non-muslim subjects in Islamic law and state; and the conflict over the Prophet Muhammad's inheritance and the rise of theological sects in Islam. The second part will be devoted to discussing the four fields of cultural creativity and diversity that dominated Islamic civilization during medieval times. These fields include the development of Islamic law; the rise and fall of rationalism in Islam during the early Abbasid period; Islamic mysticism; and science and scientific innovation in Islam. The third part is expected to deal with the institutionalization of orthodox Islam in the later Middle Ages. This process will be linked in the course to the weighty political events by which the Islamic world was transformed in this period, meaning the transfer of political power from Arab hands to Turkish military elites. The course will discuss how this institutionalization found expressions in elaboration of the ulama establishment and its alliance with the political rulers,
2 the rise of the madrasa and the demise of rational thought in Islam and the radicalization of the Muslim state's policy towards non-muslim subjects. The fourth and last part will focus on Islamic thought and religion in the shadow of modernity and Western hegemony. This will lead us to explore the reformist movements that emerged during the nineteenth century, to be followed by the emergence of political Islamic movements and their attempt to ideologize Islam in light of modernity. I will also touch on the encounters between Islam and nationalism, communism, and secularism. In particular, Shiite revolutionarism in Iran and Lebanon will provide examples of the diverse and non-monolithic nature of Islam. The course will conclude with a discussion of how Muslim intellectuals theorize Islam in contemporary times. Ultimately, the educational objective of this course is for its students to emerge with a broad idea of the changing and diverse nature of Islam, both historically and in the present day. 1.
