When years of earnest research finally translate into a published book, it is easy to take all the credit and pat oneself on the back for a gigantic task accomplished. The fact remains, however, that no work of such magnitude is possible without a whole network of support systems available to a scholar. I consider myself both fortunate and blessed to have been associated with people who went out of their way to lend me a helping hand even before I asked for it. I would like to express my deep gratitude to institutions and persons who helped me undertake this challenging job. The present volume in fact emanates from a research undertaken at University of Kashmir. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Shah-I-Hamadan Institute of Islamic Studies, University of Kashmir under whose auspices this research was conducted. I am highly indebted to Prof. Naseem Ahmad Shah, without whose guidance, help and encouragement, the execution of this extensive research work would have been rather impossible. My special thanks are due to my teachers and senior faculty members, at Department of Islamic Studies, fellow research scholars, library staff, non-teaching and ministerial staff for all the required support. It would be unfair if I don’t acknowledge the encouraging suggestions of Prof. Farida Khanum (JMI, New Delhi) and Mr. Farooq Muztar (HEM Rajouri); Shah Imran Hassan the editor of 5 ‘Awraq e Hayat’and my colleagues Dr. Naseem Gul and Mr. Bilal Ahmed Wani, who spared their precious time to review the script several times. I must express my deepest gratitude to ‘the person of study- Maulana Wahiduddin Khan’, a living legend in the ‘Modern Islamic Thought’ for his kind consent to interact on numerous occasions about his life and mission, in details. I shall be failing in my duty if I do not acknowledge the love and affection given to me by my family members, particularly my wife Mrs. Munira Begum for the moral support and encouragement throughout my academic endeavors. I thank Almighty Allah for uncountable blessings that made it possible for me to finally complete this project. Let me also acknowledge that ‘If there is any merit discernible in the work, it is absolutely due to the grace of Almighty Allah; and if there are faults, and undoubtedly there might be many, they must be credited to my own incompetence. Further I strongly believe that ‘the largest room in the world is-the reoom for improvement’ and I solicit feedback and suggestions for improvement in the next edition. Dr. Anjum Awan BGSBU Rajouri 6 FOREWORD Maulana Wahidudin Khan (b.1925) is an epitome of extraordinary educational and intellectual career. His family traces its history to the intellectually fertile land of Shibli, Farahi, Aslam Jayrajpuri, and Iqbal Suhail. During his affiliation with Jamat-i-Islami, Maulana Wahidudin Khan produced some excellent works that left indelible marks on the intellect of literate society. At a time when Marxism was holding its sway all over the globe, Maulana; convincingly proved Marxism, as a fallacy (Marxism Tarikh Jise Radd Kar Chuki He). Likewise, his book ‘Mazhab Aur Jadid Challenge’ brought out, when new scientific knowledge was undermining religious spirit; provided a rejuvenating push to religion as well as religionists. It stands out as the most remarkable work establishing Maulana’s Islamic Scholarship at international level. It is interesting to note that spending years in the company of Maulana Mawdudi, Wahidudin Khan parted ways with the former’s ideology and confidently embarked on a distinct journey for showcasing Islam in a modern context. Another coincidence is no less remarkable that Maulana Maududi had edited the reputed “Al Jamia’t” the mouthpiece of ‘Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind’ and later, Maulana Wahidudin Khan also edited this prestigious weekly magazine for many years (1967-74). The intellectual legacy of Nadwat-ul-Ulama Lucknow and Aligarh Muslim University also attracted attention of Maulana briefly, but the sojourn didn’t last too long; lending vindication to Iqbal’s words: ‘Sahil tujhe ata ho to sahil na kar qabul’. Maulana finally decided to establish his own Islamic Centre 7 and thus was born the world famous monthly magazine Al- Risala in 1976. The might of his pen coupled with unique analytical skills, presented the interpretation of Din; in a fascinating, lucid and convincing, epiphany style; that attracted many followers, satiating their intellectual hunger in a novel and greatly impressive way. It is truly a representative of the Arabic dictum: ‘khairul kalame ma qalla wa dalla’ (The brevity and authenticity are essence of a good speech). Some scholars might differ with personal opinions of Maulana and rightfully so. The fact however, can’t be denied that he always remained firm on the methodology of ahl al-Sunnah never side stepping from Ijma of the Muslim Ummah. The way Maulana interprets and transmits the essential message of Islam to a generation overwhelmed by modern and post- modern challenges might annoy some conservative scholars; yet none can prove any deviations against him. Be it Tazkir ul- Qur’an, or “Woman in Islam” or any other writings, all represent the essential spirit of Islam. Like many others, we may not completely agree with his political views; yet we can’t over-rule the fact that in a democratic setup and an age of freedom of thought and expression; no one can be compelled or forced to bow before a particular opinion. History offers defend, when it comes to controversies, for, these often surrounded great minds and ideas; and, it remains one of the hallmarks of their greatness. So it comes as no surprise that Maulana has also been criticized by some scholars. While a lot has been written on his personality, his Islamic thought and political views; it is for fraternity of Islamic 8 Studies, a matter of great satisfaction that Dr. Rafique Anjum has produced a remarkable research work, Religious Thought of Maulana Wahid ud Din Khan: An Analytical Study, under the august supervision of one of my close friends, Prof. Naseem Ahmad Shah at University of Kashmir. The thesis earned a doctorate degree (Ph. D. in Islamic Studies) for Dr. Rafique Anjum from Shah-i-Hamadan Institute of Islamic Studies, University of Kashmir. Dr. Rafique Anjum, himself, is no less an interesting personality. He is primarily a ‘Doctor of Medicine’ having served as Consultant Pediatrician in the Department of Health & Medical Education, Jammu and Kashmir, for many years. Besides; he is by intuition a linguist who has made remarkable contributions in the field of literature, particularly in his mother tongue, Gojri. He represents the higher echelon of Modern Gojri Scholarship. Lately, kindled by the passion for Islamic Studies, that always occupied a place close to his heart; he did M.A. and Ph. D. in Islamic Studies and got voluntary retirement from his parent Health Department to serve his society in intellectual and educational spheres. Dr. Rafique Anjum, has joined Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University, Rajouri as Assistant Professor in the Department of Islamic Studies. Embracing one of the brilliant minds of the region, BGSBU is availing services of this scholar, who has in a short span of time, firmly established himself as a dedicated teacher and learned scholar having created a niche for himself in the intellectual circles of the varsity.

  • Child Custody in Classical Islamic Law and Laws of Contemporary Muslim World (An Analysis)
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4 No. 5; March 2014 Child Custody in Classical Islamic Law and Laws of Contemporary Muslim World (An Analysis) Aayesha Rafiq Assistant Professor Fatima Jinnah Women University Pakistan; Formerly Research Scholar at University of California Los Angeles. Abstract This article attempts to deliberate on the child custody laws in classical Islamic texts and the contemporary Muslim World with special focus on development of child custody laws in Pakistan. For classical Islamic law, the article refers to the laws as stated in the compendiums of fiqh of sunni and shi’ i schools of thought as well as decisions of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) his companions and leading Muslim jurists. For the purpose of this study, contemporary Muslim world is divided into Muslim majority regions of Central Asia and Caucasus, South Asia, Southeast Asia, North Africa, South Africa, West Africa, Horn of Africa and Middle East. A thorough analysis of customary practices, personal status laws and trends of courts in these Muslim majority regions is carried out. Effort is made to bring out similarities, differences and developments in child custody laws in contemporary Muslim world. The article is delimited to the discussion on child custody in cases of divorce, judicial separation or dissolution of marriage only. In the end it is suggested that uniform laws can be formulated for the entire Muslim world, in the light of Islamic principles and contemporary practices of the Muslim world. Keywords: child custody, Islamic law, fiqh, shariah, contemporary laws, divorce. 1. Introduction Cases of child custody fall under muamlat in compendiums of Islamic Fiqh.

  • The Straight Path: Islam Interpreted by Muslims by Kenneth W. Morgan
    Islam -- The Straight Path: Islam Interpreted by Muslims return to religion-online 47 Islam -- The Straight Path: Islam Interpreted by Muslims by Kenneth W. Morgan Kenneth W. Morgan is Professor of history and comparative religions at Colgate University. Published by The Ronald Press Company, New York 1958. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted and Winnie Brock. (ENTIRE BOOK) A collection of essays written by Islamic leaders for Western readers. Chapters describe Islam's origin, ideas, movements and beliefs, and its different manifestations in Africa, Turkey, Pakistan, India, China and Indonesia. Preface The faith of Islam, and the consequences of that faith, are described in this book by devout Muslim scholars. This is not a comparative study, nor an attempt to defend Islam against what Muslims consider to be Western misunderstandings of their religion. It is simply a concise presentation of the history and spread of Islam and of the beliefs and obligations of Muslims as interpreted by outstanding Muslim scholars of our time. Chapter 1: The Origin of Islam by Mohammad Abd Allah Draz The straight path of Islam requires submission to the will of God as revealed in the Qur’an, and recognition of Muhammad as the Messenger of God who in his daily life interpreted and exemplified that divine revelation which was given through him. The believer who follows that straight path is a Muslim. Chapter 2: Ideas and Movements in Islamic History, by Shafik Ghorbal The author describes the history and problems of the Islamic society from the time of the prophet Mohammad as it matures to modern times.

  • Afghan Music in Australia John Baily*
    BAILY, John (2010), “Afgan music in Australia”, in CÔRTE-REAL, Maria de São José (ed.), Migrações Journal - Special Issue Music and Migration, October 2010, no. 7, Lisbon: ACIDI, pp. 157-176 Afghan music in Australia John Baily* Abstract Based on research carried out in Melbourne and Sydney in 2009, this paper discusses Afghan migration to Australia, the emergen- ce of the multicultural society, the civic promotion of the Afghan Bazaar Precinct in Dandenong (Melbourne), the genres of Afghan music performed in Australia, with brief biographies of some of the musicians, and a survey of CDs produced in Australia. The pa- per concludes that the Afghan-Australian community (less than 25,000 overall) is too small to support a fully-fledged Afghan mu- sic profession. The result is a vigorous amateur music scene cate- ring for a community of music lovers. The work of three contem- porary Australian composers influenced by Afghan music is also discussed, to show how the culture of this immigrant community has enriched Australian culture.

My research in Herat was wide-ranging, looking into the performance of various genres: urban and rural; folk, popular and art; vocal and ins- trumental; traditional and modern; professional and amateur; female and male; and also at various forms of religious singing that did not fall clearly into the category of music, such as Sufi zikr, Shiah lamentations and Quranic recitation.
