Page 3 of 15 History of Monarchy in Iran Zamin: Nader Shah Afshar In 1730's Nader launched a military strike on Ottoman Empire and reclaimed most of Iranian territory from the Ottoman Empire. Nader had to cut short his military campaign because of Abd Ali Afghans revolted against current establishment and besieged city of Mash-had. Nader directed his military expedition toward Mash-had. It took one year and two months for Nader to rescue Mash-had from Abd Ali Afghans. King Tahmasp began to feel inferior to Nader's military victories and King Tahmasp decided to lead his army against Ottoman Empire, and reclaiming Yerevan. However, King Tahmasp lost the war to the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire gained more territory from Iran. Interestingly, King Tahmasp signed a treaty with the Ottoman Empire to hand over Georgia and Armenia to the Ottoman Empire in exchange for city of Tabriz. Nader became aware of King Tahmasp military defeat to the Ottoman Empire, and Nader became angry at the King. When Nader and King Tahmasp were in city of Isfehan which was capital of Iran at that time, Nader got the King drunk, as he asked everyone in their present if this King was fit to govern Iran. Obviously, everyone agreed that the King was not a suitable person to govern Iran, and in 1732 the King abdicated the throne in favor of his son, King Abbas III, and Nader became regent. 1 Nader decided to attack at Ottoman Empire in city of Baghdad in order to regain Georgia and Armenia. However, Nader lost the battle to the Ottoman General Topal Osman Pasha. Nader persisted on his military campaign and eventually Nader formed an alliance with Russian and defeated and killed General Topal Osman 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadir_Shah Page 4 of 15 Pasha in city of Kirkuk.2 Subsequently, Nader reclaimed and controlled Georgia, Armenia, Baghdad, and Ganja. In March 1735, Nader and Russia signed a treaty which forced Russian force to evacuate Iranian territory. To Be Continue... Recent Events: I want to Fall down with Grace and Beauty There comes another word of wisdom and common sense from corner of my ears which has become a melody to my ears these days that why is Shirin pursuing Sarbazan and Janbakhtegan Organization? Does not Shirin see that she is not making any money from this Organization? Does not she see that she has to put her own hard earned cash in this Organization and must cut back on her own needs? Does not she realize this path of life has taken her youth, adulthood, parenthood, and has taken control of her entire life? How long is she planning to follow this path of solitude and loneliness? Has not she wake-up from this nightmare that as she is running toward a door in her dreams, this road is stretching-out, and door is going far-far away from her? Does not she see that this type of work inherently pose danger on her life? Just how long is Shirin planning to stay on course? In this world of solitude and loneliness that I walk in pain and agony from time my beloved father Honorable Immortal Major-General Ali Neshat was taken away from me by Marxist-Islamist factions, and ring leader was Ibrahim Yazdi, who is a cold blooded murderer, and travels around the world freely even he travels to the US that they robbed me of my youth that they stole my adulthood. It was not my choice that I had to defend my father's honor, it was not my fault that I have to chase this imaginary door in my dreams, it is a door that I must chase despite financial hardship, despite all difficulties that I have to face day by day, despite mounting pressure from outside to pursue alternative, despite all hardship and cold shoulders that I receive, but I will remain strong, I will remain steadfast, I will remain spearhead in my father's cause, it is not just for my father, but for others fathers, brothers, widows, and sisters. Let the threatening phone calls of the cleric regime come to me, let the regime agents chase me in Los Angeles streets, the so called free USA, and thinking that I would have a second thought about my belief and value, but they do not realize that I want to fall down with grace and beauty like my father, and many other fathers that they fell down with grace and beauty. So, let me fall down, and do not bother to stop me from chasing this door, let this victim do what she has to do. Remember I am not seeking pity, I am not seeking sympathy, I am not seeking compassion, I am seeking my father, I am seeking a moment, a moment of truth for me, which is the moment that I stand by his final resting place that I wash his tombstone with a clean water, and not cleaning his body with his blood, I want to shed tears on his grave which was my right to do so and was taken away from me, I want to stand by his grave and let him know that I love him dearly to this very day, I want to tell him that I love him with my whole life, and has remained truthful in my cause like a true soldier as he taught me to be a strong soldier, to remain determine, and never doubt about my action, never fear anything and to be a fearless lion.

  • From Rabi`A to Ibn Al-Färich Towards Some Paradigms of the Sufi Conception of Love
    From Rabi`a to Ibn al-Färich Towards Some Paradigms of the Sufi Conception of Love By Suleyman Derin ,%- Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy Department of Arabic and 1Viiddle Eastern Studies The University of Leeds The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own work and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. September 1999 ABSTRACT This thesis aims to investigate the significance of Divine Love in the Islamic tradition with reference to Sufis who used the medium of Arabic to communicate their ideas. Divine Love means the mutual love between God and man. It is commonly accepted that the Sufis were the forerunners in writing about Divine Love. However, there is a relative paucity of literature regarding the details of their conceptions of Love. Therefore, this attempt can be considered as one of the first of its kind in this field. The first chapter will attempt to define the nature of love from various perspectives, such as, psychology, Islamic philosophy and theology. The roots of Divine Love in relation to human love will be explored in the context of the ideas that were prevalent amongst the Sufi authors regarded as authorities; for example, al-Qushayri, al-Hujwiri and al-Kalabadhi. The second chapter investigates the origins Of Sufism with a view to establishing the role that Divine Love played in this. The etymological derivations of the term Sufi will be referred to as well as some early Sufi writings. It is an undeniable fact that the Qur'an and tladith are the bedrocks of the Islamic religion, and all Muslims seek to justify their ideas with reference to them.

  • A Monograph on Islamic Toleration
    Publication Partner: International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications (ISSN: 2250-3153) A Monograph on Islamic Toleration ISLAMIC TOLERATION Rawaa Mahmoud Hussain Publishing Partner: IJSRP Inc. www.ijsrp.org Publication Partner: International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications (ISSN: 2250-3153) Preface Islam runs in history for more than fourteen centuries ago, i.e., to the era in which the Prophet Muhammad lived. Since receiving the revelation, he began to deliver the divine message, to call for the unity of God, to declare the importance of Prophethood for humankind, and to advocate the need for faith in the last day. From that period, Islam appeared and spread throughout history to arrive at our present time. Therefore, we see that interest grows in understanding the teachings of Islam, day after day, in different areas of knowledge, especially religious and social ones. Toleration is a fundamental value that underlay of human existence in different historical eras witnessed by different civilizations. Islamic toleration is considered one of the most prominent contemporary Islamic issues. I have attended several conferences, symposiums, workshops, and published several books, articles, and refereed researches in Contemporary Islamic philosophy and thought, which is my main specialization. However, there is an assured need for further studies, particularly for the book that I am proposing to achieve . The book’s idea goes back to many years ago, and perhaps the beginning associated with the first moments in which I decided to specialize in the study of Islamic thought. Conflict and active differences among Islamic sects are an essential problem that faces Muslims today.

Khaldoun Al-Shamaa 3 ABSTRACT This thesis aims to provide the interested reader with a critical account of far-reaching changes in modem Arabic literary theory, approximately since the 1970s, in the light of an ascending paradigm in motion , and of the tendency by subsequent critics and commentators to view litefary criticism in terms of self-a elaborating category morphing into cultural critique. The first part focuses on interdisciplinary problems confronting Arab critics in their attempt “to modernize but not to westernize”, and also provides a comparative treatment of the terms, concepts and definitions used in the context of an ever-growing Arabic literary canon, along with consideration of how these relate to European modernist thought and of the controversies surrounding them among Arab critics.

  • In the Name of Allah Introduction
    In the name of Allah Introduction The expansion, and all forms of developments in various aspects of cultural activities, have a transactional relationship with culture oriented industries, and technological advancements. In modern times, different cultures are heading towards homogeny, whence, the role of cultural industries has become more pronounced. The essence of intercultural relations is based on the axis of cultural industries, the most important element of which is publication; an industry that is always and everywhere readily available, and is the most effective form of delivering a message. The efficient utilization of this tool in cultural relations, between the people and governments, can have progressive, and constructive results, whereas, the improper use of it will result in destruction, delusion, and misunderstanding. The role of translation in cultural interactions does not go unnoticed by authorities. The concept of translation, in relevance to cultural interactions, must be viewed as inclusive of cultural activities, and the effects of pri- 2 vate institutions, and organizations that present new angles and avenues. Thus, cultural local- ization, in the globalization process, can be better understood, and we can recognize why the more culturally localized works are also more global. It has, even, been proven through experi- ence, that, the works of many authors, have become globally renowned, because they had been culturally localized. The project to support the translation of Persian works to other languages, also known as TOP (Translation of Persia), with the objective of outsourcing the task of trans- lation and publication to other countries, has been a progressive step towards breaking free of the formalities of international publication, vis-à-vis the selection of books by this charter, and the starting point in evaluating Persian works of Iran, which will, hopefully, proceed towards perfection.
