This volume explores the remarkable expansion of the Islamic world eastward from the eleventh century to the eighteenth. As the Islamic faith spread across cultural boundaries, the roles of traders, mystics, and administrators became equally significant alongside those of soldiers and administrators. Distinctive Islamic idioms emerged from various linguistic traditions, including Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Swahili, Malay, and Chinese. The Islamic world underwent a profound transformation, absorbing new influences and ideas.
The essays in this collection highlight three key features that set this period apart from earlier and modern experiences of Islam. Firstly, the steppe tribal peoples of central Asia had a profound impact on the Islamic lands. Secondly, Islam expanded along the trade routes of the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, fostering economic and cultural exchange. Thirdly, Islam interacted with Asian spirituality, including Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Shamanism, contributing to the diversity and richness of Islamic culture.
During this period, Islam truly became a global religion, connecting people from diverse backgrounds and fostering a sense of unity and shared values. The expansion of the Islamic world eastward not only brought about cultural and religious transformation but also had significant economic and political consequences, shaping the course of history in the region.
