O knihe
This book offers the first in-depth study of the 1980 restoration of al-J¿mi¿ al-Anwar—also known as the Mosque of al-¿¿kim bi Amr All¿h—by the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community. Long portrayed by experts as having breached international conservation norms, the restoration project is reexamined here through primary sources, interviews, and archival research, and viewed through the lens of the community’s religious values. The book introduces i¿y¿¿—“bringing to life”—as a distinct Islamic philosophy of conservation, showing how sacred architecture is maintained not only as heritage but as living religious space. Challenging dominant narratives in heritage discourse, this book highlights the intersection of faith, identity, and conservation, offering valuable insights for scholars and practitioners working with religious communities and sacred sites.
Aliasger Najam Madraswala is a researcher and administrator at Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah, Arabic Academy in Mumbai. He lectures across its campuses, leads research in Islamic architecture, heritage, and manuscripts, advises on conservation projects in Cairo, and advances interfaith and civic outreach on contemporary Islamic issues.
