Wortmann (Wake Forest University) argues that "[a]lthough the rule of the Omani sultanate in Tanzania came to an end following the Zanzibar Revolution in 1964, the legacy of its empire still exists today, along with its distinctive religious identity. The Ibadhi Muslims of Omani descent, who are neither Sunni nor Shi'a, have used a message of tolerance and harmonious coexistence to spread their beliefs across North and East Africa in a post-revolution and post-independence era."
- Islamic Law in Context: A Primary Source Reader (Cambridge University Press, 2024) (forthcoming), edited by Omar Anchassi (University of Edinburgh) and Robert Gleave (University of Exeter), "surveys the diversity of Islamic legal thought and practice, a 1500 - year tradition that has been cultivated throughout the Islamic world. It features translations of Islamic legal texts from across the spectrum of literary genres (including legal theory, judicial handbooks, pamphlets) that represent the range of temporal, geographic and linguistic contexts in which Islamic law has been, and continues to be, developed. Each text has been chosen and translated by a specialist."
On Islam and Data Science - In "Artifical Intelligence in Islamic Finance" (Medium, October 20, 2024), Ameer Hamza argues that "AI applications have transformed finance and the way in which financial institutions operate. The same is true when applied to Islamic finance-a set of principles based on Sharia law and ethics."
