“…Wine also figures prominently in the work of Hispano-Arabic poets of the tenth to the fifteenth centuries, such as the Cordoban zajal poet Ibn Quzman, the satirical muwashshahat poet al-Abyad (who was crucified by the Almoravid governor of Cordoba), Ibn Bajja of Saragossa, and Ibn Zuhr (the latter two both were poisoned). In this poetry, alcohol is often associated with other vices, such as homoeroticism with handsome cupbearers (Monroe 1974). The Persians had a flourishing genre of wine poetry before and after Islam-with Sadi, the ghazal poet Hafez, and Omar Khayyam, best known among Westerners through Edward Fitzgerald's famous (and somewhat inaccurate) translation.…”

Alcohol and Islam is a relatively understudied topic, although alcohol abuse is a significant social problem both in Muslim majority countries and among Muslim minorities. Questions of religious identity as they relate to food and drink prescriptions and proscriptions also make alcohol and Islam a worthwhile topic. This article offers a general overview of alcohol and Islam. It briefly introduces alcohol and Islam in history; examines the main Islamic religious sources (the Quran, the sayings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. and Islamic law); analyzes World Health Organization statistics on contemporary patterns of abstention and alcohol consumption in Muslim majority countries; reviews the social science literature on alcohol studies in Muslim settings; presents Saudi Arabia and Turkey as opposite extremes of prohibition and permissiveness in Muslim majority countries; offers France as a case study of the effects of migration on abstention and drinking patterns of Muslims in minority settings (about a quarter of all Muslims live as religious minorities); and looks at the rationales that some Muslims give for drinking. In conclusion. the article places the problem of alcohol prohibition in a larger context

“…Women contributed to the development of Andalusian literature predominantly through the medium of poetry. One of the reasons that have been given for the preponderance of women's poetical compositions in Muslim Spain is that its rulers greatly encouraged scholarship and literature among their subjects, irrespective of gender, race, and religion (al-Maqqarī, [c. 1617(al-Maqqarī, [c. ]/1968al-Zayyāt, n.d.;Nykl, 1946;Bayhum, 1962;Hitti, 1970;Burckhardt, 1972;Chejne, 1974;Monroe, 1974).…”

This article revisits the role of women in the Andalusian literature and culture of the period between the 8th through the 15th centuries C.E. Drawing on some Western sexual-textual political models of analysis, the article reexamines the literary methods and devices employed by selected Andalusian women poets to demonstrate their intellectual equality with men. Moreover, by providing a sexual-textual political reading of some of the women’s poems and/or the anecdotes (akhbār) about them, the article demonstrates how these women exerted their social and political agency in a male-dominated society. The article seeks to bolster an argument that the frequent mention of the preponderance of women poets—their names and the anecdotes about them—suggests the existence of a female literary sub-culture in al-Andalus that was more vibrant than has been documented in the male-authored classical Arabic texts

“…19 The biographical dictionaries from the Almoravid period, which contained more social data for a large segment of the population than that found in any other pre-industrial society, indicate that culture did not come to a halt under the Almoravids and instead, it continued to be productive. 20 Literary expression and life took different forms during the Almoravid period, and poetry was the most prestigious literary genre. Dozy is among the first of the researchers who studied the poetry under the Almoravid state and addressed this issue in a general way in the context of the history of al-Andalus.…”

European scholarship developed a strong a tradition of Oriental studies, especially from the nineteenth century. A Dutch hispanismo was born from the pioneering spirit of some scholars who realized the importance of drawing more attention to the Spanish culture and language in the late nineteenth century. Notably, the history of al-Andalus did not prompt any great interest, except for the scholar Reinhart Dozy whose work exerted a major influence both in his time and later. This article aims to examine whether Dozy's writings on the topic of the Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula tend to stereotype both the Arab and the Christian Latin cultures as a result of his analyses of historical sources. Some of the Dozy's source interpretations, which have been thoroughly studied elsewhere, are brought here and refuted in an attempt to raise the issue of the impact of bias in a text presentation when it comes to the reader's assumption about Muslims and Christians from the medieval historical period. In addition, this article points out some putative determinant factors in Dozy's analyses of the sources based on his known private and academic life. We may conclude that Dozy's approach to the subject of Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula fails to present the account of this Iberian period in all its otherness. Nowadays, this abridgment can be overcome with an integrated approach in which perspectives emerging from different disciplines are applied in order to render interesting empirical and theoretical insights.
