This book offers the first in-depth study of the 1980 restoration of al-Jāmiʿ al-Anwar—also known as the Mosque of al-Ḥākim bi Amr Allāh—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 iḥyāʾ—“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.

This book offers a distinctive and compelling examination of artworks as vital historical documents, utilizing a multifaceted lens to delve into the cultural and artistic landscape of a particular era. By analyzing Papal commissions in Rome from the 15th to 17th centuries that notably incorporate Persian motifs, the book reveals the intentions of artists, the motivations of patrons, and the evolving styles and motifs across different cultures. Employs traditional art historical approaches but also extends beyond them, the book considers these artistic creations as significant contributions to the broader cultural heritage of the region. This book is a must read for scholars of Islamic studies and heritage studies.
