Abstract

Islamic Prayer across the Indian Ocean: Inside and Outside the Mosque. Edited by David Parkin and Stephen Headley. Pp. 256. Richmond: Curzon Press, 2000. This collection of articles is concerned with an analysis of how Islamic prayer is conceptualised across different localities within the Islamic world. Namely, the region along the Indian Ocean littoral encompassing locations extending from Eastern Africa, through the Indian Ocean islands to Indonesia. The importance of the collection lies in its use of Islamic prayer as a tool of analysis and explanation. The centrality of Islamic prayer serves as a guide towards tracing multiple pathways which lead to a common and universal essence of Islam. The journey towards this essence is characterised rather paradoxically by a very rich diversity of routes that are connected by 'prayer' as a central axe or pivot. The specificity manifests in the manner by which prayer is used as a generic term. It therefore, succeeds in covering a wide range of definitions of what constitutes prayer, ranging from the five canonical ritual prayers within Islam; but not excluding other forms of supplications and practices that allude, even remotely, to the invocation of God.
