Arabic Manuscripts on Islamic Law ARABIC MANUSCRIPTS ON ISLAMIC LAW Abstract The collection covers a wide period, with manuscripts dating from the 12th to the 20th century C.E. One of the earliest works is SOAS, no. 83, a copy dated Dhu'l-Qa`da 585/December-January 1189-90 of al-Fiqh al-nafi` by al-Samarqandi (d. 556/1161). Another 12th century work, Husam al-Din al-Bukhari's al-Fara'id al-Husamiyah (SOAS, no. 70), dates from the same month. The 18th and 19th centuries are particularly well represented, not only by works belonging to the legal canon of the period - like Abu Hanifa's Al-fiqh al-akbar, the Fatawa Qadikhan, and al-Halabi's Multaqa al-abhur (Mingana, nos. 181, 204, and 1074, resp.) – but also by treatises reflecting the legal debates of the period, like works on the permissibility of smoking, and drinking coffee (Mingana, nos. 1072, 1075, 1077). ARABIC MANUSCRIPTS ON ISLAMIC LAW 1 ARABIC MANUSCRIPTS ON ISLAMIC LAW 2 Finding Aid Arabic Manuscripts on Islamic Law Published by IDC Publishers, 1981 - 1996 • Descriptive Summary Title: Arabic Manuscripts on Islamic Law Dates: 12th to the 20th century. Abstract: The collection consists of manuscripts on Islamic Law, filmed from the SOAS collection in London, the Yahuda collection of the JNUL in Jerusalem, and the Mingana Collection in Birmingham. Languages: Language of materials: Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, Persian and Malay Extent: 2713 mf. ; 706 manuscripts. Ordernumber: NE-1503, NE-1505 and H-3 • Location of Originals Originals are held by the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, the Jewish and National University Library of Jerusalem, and by the Orchard Learning Resource Centre in Birmingham. • Scope and Content The collection covers a wide period, with manuscripts dating from the 12th to the 20th century C.E. One of the earliest works is SOAS, no. 83, a copy dated Dhū'l-Qa`da 585/December-January 1189-90 of al-Fiqh al-nāfi` by al-Samarqandi (d. 556/1161). Another 12th century work, Husām al-Dīn al-Bukhārī's al-Farā'id al- Husāmiyah (SOAS, no. 70), dates from the same month. The 18th and 19th centuries are particularly well represented, not only by works belonging to the legal canon of the period - like Abū Hanīfa's Al-fiqh al-akbar, the Fatāwā Qādikhān, and al-Halabī's Multaqā al-abhūr (Mingana, nos. 181, 204, and 1074, resp.) - but also by treatises reflecting the legal debates of the period, like works on the permissibility of smoking, and drinking coffee (Mingana, nos. 1072, 1075, 1077). Islamic law (sharī`a) is an integral part of Muslim life. Islamic law provides both a code of conduct for individual believers and legal rules for Muslim society at large. Some crimes are crimes before God, while others are crimes to society - the distinction not always clear-cut.

  • Maliki School
    Dr. Javed Ahmed Qureshi School of Studies in Law Jiwaji University GWALIOR - 474 011 (MP), INDIA LAW B.A.LL.B. IV-SEM MUSLIM LAW BY Dr. JAVED AHMED QURESHI DATE- 04-04-2020 MALIKI SCHOOL Maliki school is one of the four schools of fiqh or religious law within Sunni Islam. It is the second largest of the four schools, followed by about 25% Muslims, mostly in North Africa and West Africa. This school is not a sect, but a school of jurisprudence. Technically, there is no rivalry or competition between members of different madrasas, and indeed it would not be unusual for followers of all four to be found in randomly chosen American or European mosques. This school derives its name from its founder Imam Malik-bin-Anas. It originates almost to the same period as the Hanafi school but it flourished first in the city of Madina. Additionally, Malik was known to have used ray (personal opinion) and qiyas (analogy). This school is derives from the work of Imam Malik. It differs in different sources from the three other schools of rule which use it for derivation of regimes. All four schools use the Quran as the primary source, followed by Prophet Muhammad's transmitted as hadith (sayings), ijma (consensus of the scholars or Muslims) and Qiyas (analogy).In addition, the School of Maliki uses the practice of the people of Madina (Amal Ahl al-Madina) as a source. While the Hanafi school relies on Ijma (interpretations of jurists), the Maliki school originates from Sunna and Hadis.

  • An Assessment on Some of the Opinions and Theological Convictions of Seyyid Burhaneddin (Rumi’S Master)
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 3, Ver. V1 (Mar. 2015), PP 79-86 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org An Assessment on Some of the Opinions and Theological Convictions of Seyyid Burhaneddin (Rumi’s Master) Osman Oral, PhD Assistant Professor of Kalam (Islamic Theology) Department of Basic Islamic Sciences Bozok University Faculty of TheologyYozgat, Turkey, 66000 Abstract: One of the main and the most important objectives of Kalam is to create a firm belief in people’s hearts, to keep this belief from the danger of doubts, and to effort for providing different methods and techniques in the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah in this way. The aim of Sufism is also to educate self-ego and to preserve the belief within this moral axis. Seyyid Burhaneddin Tirmidhi is an important Sufi who was born at the end of the XII century and lived in the first half of the XIII century. His significance comes from his being the first master of Rumi by teaching him theological and mystical aspect of Islam for a long time. This article examines theological opinions of Seyyid Burhaneddin who has a significant place in the Sufi circles and the Anatolian Islamic culture. Keywords: Seyyid Burhaneddin, Rumi, Sufism, Faith, Tirmidhi, Kayseri I. Introduction Science of Kalam, first of all explores the vahdâniyet among the God's essence and attributes.1 It also determines the principles of Islam about faith and actions through nass (the Qur‟an and the Sunnah) and builds them on the basis of rational method.2 Sufism brings the truths of Islamic Theology toward general issues into very simple level which let also everyone will be satisfied.

  • Albanian Contemporary Qur'anic Exegesis: Sheikh
    ALBANIAN CONTEMPORARY QUR’ANIC EXEGESIS: SHEIKH HAFIZ IBRAHIM DALLIU’S COMMENTARY (Tafsir Al-Quran Kontemporari Albania: Ulasan Oleh Sheikh Hafiz Ibrahim Dalliu) Hajredin Hoxha1 ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to explore and analyze the main intellectual and religious trends and tendencies in the writings of Albanian Ulema in their dealing with Qur’anic studies, in the modern time, in the Balkan Peninsula in Europe. In conducting this study, the researcher has utilized inductive, historical, critical and analytical methodologies. The Albanian lands in the Balkan Peninsula were governed and ruled by the Islamic Ottoman Empire for almost five centuries. Historically, to some extent and despite the conflicts and clashes, Albanians were able to show to the world a very good sample of peace, unity and harmony among themselves, as a multi religious and multi ethnic society. The attention and the engagement of the Albanian Ulema with the Qur’anic sciences have been tremendous since the spread of Islam, and have to be taken into consideration. Despite the tough and serious political, economic and religious challenges in the 19th and 20th centuries, they were not distracted from conducting their learning and teaching affaires. As a result of very close contacts and relations with different ideologies, cultures and civilizations within the Ottoman mixed ethnicity and in the middle-east, the researcher based on different sources, was able to identify and discover Sunni Maturidi dogmatic approach in dealing with Quranic Exegesis in the Commentary of Sheikh Hafiz Ibrahim Dalliu-a case study. The results and conclusions of this study are to be taken into consideration also, especially when we know that the current and modern historical sources of Albania are deviated almost completely and not to be trusted at all, because they failed to show to the Albanian people a real picture of Islam.

  • An Investigation Into the Prevalence of the Hindu Yogas in Sufism
    1 AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PREVALENCE OF THE HINDU YOGAS IN SUFISM By Jalaledin Ebrahim M.A. Ph.D (c) http://jalaledin.blogspot.com Introduction With the recent proliferation of translations into English of the love poetry of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi and Hafez, Sufism, which is the esoteric or mystical dimension of Islam, has been widely considered, in the popular literature, a “ bhakti ” tradition, in which, “the aim of bhakti yoga is to direct toward God the love that lies at the base of every heart” (Smith, 1991, p. 32). On further investigation, a deeper appreciation of Sufism can be gained by comparing and contrasting the combinations (or lack thereof) of the Hindu yogas in the paths of several renowned Sufi Masters, such as Mansur Al- Hallaj (d. 992), Jalaluddin Rumi (d. 1273), Hafez (d. 1389), and Ibn al-Arabi (d.1240), who was known as the Shaykh al-Akbar, the greatest Sufi Master and the Seal of the Saints. 2 This paper seeks to explore the paths of these Sufi Masters within the framework of the four Hindu yogas and their relationship to the “stations of the heart” presented by a Sufi sheikh of the Jerrahi Order, Dr. Robert Frager, (1999) in “Heart, Self and Soul: The Sufi Psychology of Growth, Balance and Harmony.” Frager explains the contribution of Hakim al-Tirmidhi (d.ca. 932) to the theory of Sufism’s “four stations of the heart”: the breast, the heart, the inner heart and the innermost heart. Each of these stations houses a light. “The breast is the home of the Light of Practice of the outer forms of any religion.

  • Islam Mean? Experience of Implementation in Tajik Society
    What Does “Traditional” or “Local” Islam Mean? Experience of Implementation in Tajik Society «Although the definitions of “traditional” and “tolerant” do not quite correctly apply to religion and its various movements, for the past two decades, they have often appeared in official political rhetoric and informational space», notes an expert on religion, Rustam Azizi in his original article for the analytical platform CABAR.asia. Русский Тоҷикӣ Follow us on LinkedIn! Article Summary: With the acquisition of independence, the problems related to religion actualized in the former Soviet republics; The Hanafi madhhab affirmation in the history of Central Asia is associated with the Samanid dynasty, under whose rule the madhhab acquired official status; The revival of the Hanafi madhhab reformation and modernization began in the 1970s, that is, during the heyday of the USSR and its atheistic ideology; The end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s showed the unpreparedness of local religious leaders and institutions to compete with the new wave and respond to new challenges; The state intervened in the opposition of the “old” to a “new” wave, and it made a choice in favor of traditions. The Hanafi madhhab is almost declared the official religious movement of Tajikistan; The neighboring countries notice and explore Tajikistan’s experience in this area.
