  • Perspectives Behind Translating House of Flesh by Yusuf Idris

    Perspectives Behind Translating House of Flesh by Yusuf Idris

    C. Lindley Cross 12 June 2009 Perspectives Behind Translating House of Flesh by Yusuf Idris Within the canon of great minds and talents that brought Egypt to a literary renaissance between 1880 and 1960, Yusuf Idris (1927-1991) is widely acknowledged as the master of the Egyptian short story. Employing a compact, terse style, charged with an energy that viscerally engages the senses as much as it does the imagination and intellect, he burst into the public eye with a prolific outpouring of work in the years directly following the 1952 Revolution. His stories from the beginning were confrontational and provocative, articulated from his firm commitment to political activism. Although his literary efforts had largely petered out by the 1970s, the uncompromising zeal and intensity he brought to his short stories left a groundbreaking impression on the history of modern Arabic fiction. Inside the Arabic literary tradition, the short story (al-qiṣṣah al-qaṣīrah, or al-uqṣuṣah) is in itself a genre that bears a political dimension, first and foremost due to its having been largely inspired by foreign models.1 Even in Europe and North America, it only achieved widespread acceptance as a literary form distinct from novels in the early nineteenth century. In the climate of French literary prestige and British colonialism encroaching upon Egypt’s identity, the choice whether to adopt or reject such forms was often indicative of a wider political view. Some intellectuals were convinced that the only way to save Egypt from cultural effacement was to re-appropriate the language and forms of the great classical masters like Abu Nawas and al- Mutanabbi and inject them into contemporary literature, warding off further corruption as a vaccine wards off disease.

THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY. JERUSALEM PROPHETS AND PROGENITORS IN THE EARLY SHI'ATRADITION* Uri Rubin INTRODUCTION As is well known, the Shi 'I belief that 'Ali' should have been Muhammad's succes- sor was based on the principle of hereditary Califate, or rather Imamate. 'Ali's father, Abu Talib, and Muhammad's father, 'Abdallah, were brothers, so that Muhammad and 'Ali were first cousins. Since the Prophet himself left no sons, the Shi 'a regarded' All as his only rightful successor.' Several Shi 'I traditions proclaim 'All's family relationship (qariiba) to Muhammad as the basis for his hereditary rights. For the sake of brevity we shall only point out some of the earliest.A number of these early Shi T traditions center around the "brothering", i.e. the mu'akhiih which took place after the hijra; this was an agreement by which each emigrant was paired with one of the Ansar and the two, who thus became brothers, were supposed to inherit each other (see Qur'an, IV, 33? 'All, as an exception, was paired not with one of the Ansar but with the Prophet himself." A certain verse in the Qur'an (VIII, 72) was interpreted as stating that the practice of mu iikhiin was confined only to the Muhajinin and the Ansar, to the exclusion of those believers who had stayed back in Mecca after the hijra. They re- tained the old practice of inheritance according to blood-relationship." This prac- tice, which was introduced in al-Madi na, affected the hereditary rights of the families of the Muhajiriin who were supposed to leave their legacy to their Ansari * This article is a revised form of a chapter from my thesis on some aspects of Muhammad's prophethood in the early literature of hadt th.

    Human Rights Abuses in Sudan Over the Month of March 20161 Overview

    Human Rights Abuses in Sudan over the Month of March 20161 Overview During the month of March 2016, SUDO (UK)’s network of human rights monitors have reported and verified 65 incidents of human rights abuses across Sudan involving nine Sudanese states, whilst one such abuse was recorded in South Sudan relating to the arrest of two prominent Sudanese politicians who had participated in the National Dialogue by the security services of the Government of South Sudan. Monitors submitted a further two reports verifying the presence of a heavily armed group in North Darfur that is allegedly linked to ISIS in Libya, in addition to the troop movement of the Rapid Support Forces in South Kordofan. Enclosed within the 65 reports pertaining to human rights abuses, SUDO (UK) has assessed that various forces under the authority of the Government of Sudan2 were responsible, as individual entities, for 50 instances of human rights abuses, whilst various militias known collectively as Janjaweed were responsible for ten abuses. Unknown parties committed five such abuses, the various armed opposition movements four3, and the South Sudanese security service one such abuse. Once again it is worth stressing that multiple actors colluded in various incidents resulting in the fact that multiple perpetrators can be responsible for the same incident, hence 70 perpetrators have been identified for 65 human rights abuses. The 65 reports detail the following: the death 37 civilians and the serious injury of 59; the rape of 14 females including nine minors; the arrest of 28 persons including one detainee being held in a toxic container at the Sudanese Armed Forces Headquarters in Demazin; 15 reports of aerial bombardment resulting in the minimum use of some 160 bombs; the direct targeting of 30 civilian villages, which have been identified by monitors leading to the destruction of 15 of those villages; five incidents pertaining to press freedom with four newspaper confiscations; three dispersions of peaceful protest; and the denial of external travel to five persons.

    Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: a Critical Evaluation of Two Translations

    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.2, 2017 Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: A Critical Evaluation of Two Translations Izzeddin M. I. Issa Dept. of English & Translation, Jadara University, PO box 733, Irbid, Jordan Abstract This study is devoted to discuss the renditions of the prophets' names in the Holy Quran due to the authority of the religious text where they reappear, the significance of the figures who carry them, the fact that they exist in many languages, and the fact that the Holy Quran addresses all mankind. The data are drawn from two translations of the Holy Quran by Ali (1964), and Al-Hilali and Khan (1993). It examines the renditions of the twenty five prophets' names with reference to translation strategies in this respect, showing that Ali confused the conveyance of six names whereas Al-Hilali and Khan confused the conveyance of four names. Discussion has been raised thereupon to present the correct rendition according to English dictionaries and encyclopedias in addition to versions of the Bible which add a historical perspective to the study. Keywords: Mistranslation, Prophets, Religious, Al-Hilali, Khan. 1. Introduction In Prophets’ names comprise a significant part of people's names which in turn constitutes a main subdivision of proper nouns which include in addition to people's names the names of countries, places, months, days, holidays etc. In terms of translation, many translators opt for transliterating proper names thinking that transliteration is a straightforward process depending on an idea deeply rooted in many people's minds that proper nouns are never translated or that the translation of proper names is as Vermes (2003:17) states "a simple automatic process of transference from one language to another." However, in the real world the issue is different viz.

    Sudan Arming the Perpetrators of Grave Abuses in Darfur

    Sudan Arming the perpetrators of grave abuses in Darfur Map The boundary between north and south Sudan runs south of Southern Darfur, Western Kordofan, Southern Kordofan, White Nile and Blue Nile States. The so-called 'marginal' areas are Abyei, Southern Kordofan/the Nuba mountains and Blue Nile State. Introduction "I was living with my family in Tawila and going to school when one day the Janjawid came and attacked the school. We all tried to leave the school but we heard noises of bombing and started running in all directions... The Janjawid caught some girls: I was raped by four men inside the school…When I went back to town, I found that they had destroyed all the buildings. Two planes and a helicopter had bombed the town. One of my uncles and a cousin were killed in the attack. " A 19- year-old woman, describing the attack on Tawila in February 2004.(1) Governments of countries named in this report that have allowed the supply of various types of arms to Sudan over the past few years have contributed to the capacity of Sudanese leaders to use their army and air force to carry out grave violations of international humanitarian and human rights law. Foreign governments have also enabled the government of Sudan to arm and deploy untrained and unaccountable militias that have deliberately and indiscriminately killed civilians in Darfur on a large scale, destroying homes, looting property and forcibly displacing the population. Amnesty International has received testimony of gross human rights violations from hundreds of displaced persons in Chad, Darfur and in the capital, Khartoum.

    America, the Second ‘Ad: Prophecies About the D Ownfall of the United States 1

    America, The Second ‘Ad: Prophecies about the D ownfall of the United States 1 David Cook 1. Introduction Predictions and prophecies about the United States of America appear quite frequently in modern Muslim apocalyp- tic literature.2 This literature forms a developing synthesis of classical traditions, Biblical exegesis— based largely on Protestant evangelical apocalyptic scenarios— and a pervasive anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. These three elements have been fused together to form a very powerful and relevant sce- nario which is capable of explaining events in the modern world to the satisfaction of the reader. The Muslim apocalyp- tist’s material previous to the modern period has stemmed in its entirety from the Prophet Muhammad and those of his generation to whom apocalypses are ascribed. Throughout the 1400 years of Muslim history, the accepted process has been to merely transmit this material from one generation to the next, without adding, deleting, or commenting on its signifi- cance to the generation in which a given author lives. There appears to be no interpretation of the relevance of a given tradition, nor any attempt to work the material into an apocalyptic “history,” in the sense of locating the predicted events among contemporary occurrences. For example, the David Cook, Assistant Professor Department of Religion Rice University, Houston, Texas, USA 150 America, the Second ‘Ad apocalyptic writer Muhammad b. ‘Ali al-Shawkani (d. 1834), who wrote a book on messianic expectations, does not men- tion any of the momentous events of his lifetime, which included the Napoleonic invasion of Egypt, his home. There is not a shred of original material in the whole book, which runs to over 400 pages, and the “author” himself never speaks— rather it is wholly a compilation of earlier sources, and could just as easily have been compiled 1000 years previ- ously.
