Abstract
Using the example of Islamic tradition, this chapter navigates developments in how the intersections of religion and forced migration have been understood in academic and policy arenas. The author identifies three key areas around which knowledge generation on Muslim responses to refugee situations has clustered: rights-based approaches to protection and assistance, readings of hospitality to account for the encounter between so-called host communities and newly arrived refugees, and decolonial perspectives that interpret the dynamics of mass displacement situations from within the framework of an Islamic ontology and epistemology. The author argues that while Islamic traditions have been mobilized across different forums to advocate for a culturally different conception of protection and assistance for displaced people, Islamic traditions—as a perspective on migration and mass displacement—remain subordinate to European ways of knowing, seeing, being, and doing in the world that spatially fixes people within the territorial borders of the nation-state.
