Abstract

journal of world history, december 2013 Hindus, and Buddhists also incorporate some Arabic words, such as "Allah," al-Kitab, nabi, and salam? Also important is the extent to which "South and Southeast Asia" is a coherent region, given its multiple connections to East Asia, the Pacific, and even Europe, regardless of geography. Another interesting aspect that deserves further analysis is the relationship between Muslims and Jews as depicted in the Book. The Book seems to have singled out one kind of relationship: a Jew who converts to Islam. Are there other texts that focus on Jews who remained Jews and encountered Muslims? What about Qur'anic references that suggest variation? Ronit Ricci discusses prior texts and intertextuality, and the Qur'an should have been one of the central literary traditions that the authors across the region were well aware of. muhamad ali University of California, Riverside The Unintended Reformation: How a Religious Revolution Secularized Society.
