Das Forum Transregionale Studien auf der Konferenz der Muhammadiyya Association of Scholars in Marokko

Als einzige europäische Institution trugen VertreterInnen des Forums zur intellektuellen und globalen Debatte über islamische Bildung und Forschung bei. / Forum Transregionale Studien takes part in Annual Conference of the Muhammadiyya Association of Scholars (Morocco)

The Forum Transregionale Studien, represented by its two research programs EUME and Zukunftsphilologie, participated in the annual international conference of the al-Rabita al-Muhammadiyya lil-uluma (The Muhammadiyya Association of Scholars) in Morocco, which took place in the capital Rabat on 26-27 June 2013.

Established in 2006, al-Rabita al-Muhammadiyya is a leading institution in North Africa and the Muslim world, which aims to reform Islamic religious education and research, and open up traditional Islamic erudition to contemporary discussions and methods in the humanities.

This year’s international conference, which brought together over 200 participants, included notable scholars from all over the Muslim world. The Forum Transregionale Studien was the only European Institution participating, making it a unique contribution to the intellectual and global conversations that the Forum views as its ultimate goal. Participants from the Forum included: Angelika Neuwirth (EUME/Zukunftsphilologie/Corpus Coranicum), Motaz al-Khatib (EUME Fellow 2012/13), Samer Rashwani (EUME Fellow 2012/13) and Islam Dayeh (Zukunftphilologie).

The Forum’s successful engagement transpired in a mutual agreement to organise a set of workshops in Germany and Morocco on the themes of philology, hermeneutics, and the intellectual history of orientalism from a comparative perspective. The first of these collaborative efforts will be an exploratory workshop to be held in Berlin in spring 2014 on hermeneutics and philology, with participants from the Muhammadiyya Association, Ridwan al-Sayyid (Beirut), and fellows of the Forum Transregionale Studien.
