Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper explains the Islamic expansion in Greater Senegambia in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries from an Atlantic perspective. It discusses the spread of the Islamic faith in West Africa and its diasporic continuities in Portugal and the New Kingdom of Granada (present-day Colombia) based on African oral traditions, scholarship from Africa and the Americas, chronicles, letters, and reports by European missionaries, travelers, traders, bureaucrats, and Inquisitorial and canonical prosecutions. The Islamic concept of da’wa, I argue, enabled Islamic preachers to reach out to a wide range of Senegambians before the Muslim revolutions. This expansion can be seen in the diaspora, primarily Wolof, and in the restraints imposed by African Muslims on Christian missionaries in Africa and the Americas. The knowledge produced in qur’anic schools was essential to Islamic social expansion, the preservation of Islamic belief in the diaspora, and the political orchestration that led to the jihads.

大西洋世界早期的沃洛夫和曼丁加穆斯林:非洲背景、传教士争端和富拉圣战前伊斯兰教的社会扩张
本文从大西洋的角度解释了16世纪和17世纪伊斯兰教在大塞内冈比亚的扩张。它讨论了伊斯兰信仰在西非的传播及其在葡萄牙和格拉纳达新王国(今哥伦比亚)的流散连续性,基于非洲的口头传统,来自非洲和美洲的学术,编年史,信件,以及欧洲传教士,旅行者,商人,官僚和宗教裁判所和教会起诉的报告。我认为,在穆斯林革命之前,伊斯兰教的da 'wa概念使伊斯兰教传教士能够接触到广泛的塞内加尔人。这种扩张可以从散居海外(主要是沃洛夫)以及非洲穆斯林对非洲和美洲基督教传教士施加的限制中看到。古兰经学校中产生的知识对于伊斯兰社会的扩张、对流散的伊斯兰信仰的保存以及导致圣战的政治组织都是必不可少的。
