The end of the eighteenth century was a transformational period for the Muslim communities
of the Russian Empire and their relationship with the tsarist state. Though they had
been under Russian rule since the sixteenth century, it was at this time that they
were incorporated into the imperial bureaucracy, most significantly through the founding
of an official hierarchy for the Islamic religious scholars in 1788. The introduction
of a state-backed structure for Muslim religious institutions altered Islamic religious
authority and, in turn, religious discourse. One of the major figures to emerge from
this new context was Abu Nasr Qursawi (1776-1812). A controversial figure who was
condemned for heresy in Bukhara in 1808, Qursawi put forward a sweeping reform of
the Islamic scholarly tradition. Focusing on taqlid, the principle of conformity to
established doctrine, Qursawi argued that its overuse had weakened scholarship in
the areas of Islamic law (fiqh) and theology (kalam) and undermined scholars' ability
to serve as religious guides. In Preserving Islamic Tradition, Nathan Spannaus presents
the first detailed analysis of Qursawi's reformist project, both in its contours and
broad historical setting. Spannaus shows how state control of Muslim institutions
impacted religious discourse, but also how it altered the entire religious environment
into the twentieth century. Addressing issues of modernity, secularity, tradition,
and intellectual history, Preserving Islamic Tradition demonstrates how the interaction
with a European imperial state transformed the Islamic tradition, both directly and
indirectly, and elicited new forms of religious thought and discourse
