In presenting these specimens from the still hitherto largely unworked mines of the Orient, the compiler <iesires to thank warmly the following Oriental scholars who have allowed him to make use of their translations : Professor Margoliouth of Sir C. J. Lyall, K.C.S.I., Ox- ford, Professors Browne and Nicholson of Cambridge, Mr. Whinfield, and the owners of the copyright of the late Col. Wilberforce Clarke's works. He also wishes to thank Messrs. Kegan, Paul, Trench & Co. for allowing him to quote from Redhouse's translation of the Masnavi and Bicknell's translation of Hafiz, and Mr. T. Fisher Unwin for permitting quotations to be made from Professor Browne's Literary History of Persia. In transliterating Arabic the compiler has adopted the system of Professor Palmer in his Arabic Manual. In transliterating Persian he has for the most part adopted that of Mr. Tolbort in the Persian trans- lation of " Robinson Crusoe." No better motto for the student of Oriental verse, whether in the original or in a translation, can be found than the words of Goethe in the " West-oestlicher Diwan : Herrlich ist der Orient Ubers Mittelmeer gedrungen ; Nur wer Hafiz liebt und kennt Weiss was Calderon gesungen.

  • Exposing the Battle for Hearts and Minds Adnan Khan
    Exposing the Battle for Hearts and Minds Adnan Khan Khilafah.com The scholars of Islam are agreed that the Qur’an is only authentic in its original language Arabic. Since a perfect translation of the Qur’an is not possible, the term Translation of the Meaning of the Qur’an (TMQ) has been used throughout this book. 2 CONTENTS Introduction 4 The battle for hearts and Minds 7 Understanding the battle for hearts and minds 14 The fallacy of Western universalism 21 Islam is valid for all times and places 27 Ijtihad proves Islam’s applicability 41 Difference of opinion (Ikhtilaaf) proves Islam’s Dynamism 47 Conclusion 60 Bibliography 69 3 INTRODUCTION The Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi boasted after the events of 9/11: “…we must be aware of the superiority of our civilisation, a system that has guaranteed well being, respect for human rights and - in contrast with Islamic countries - respect for religious and political rights, a system that has its values understanding of diversity and tolerance…The West will conquer peoples, like it conquered communism, even if it means a confrontation with another civilisation, the Islamic one, stuck where it was 1,400 years ago…”1 And in a 2007 report the RAND institute declared: “The struggle underway throughout much of the Muslim world is essentially a war of ideas. Its outcome will determine the future direction of the Muslim world.” Building moderate Muslim Networks, RAND Institute The concept of ‘islah’ (reform) is a concept unknown to Muslims. It never existed throughout the history of the Islamic civilisation; it was never debated or even considered.

  • Places of Interest
    CHAPTER XIX PLACES OF INTEREST The Panipat district has made significant contribution to the history and heritage of Haryana. Archaeological sites mainly Seenk, Naultha, Garh Sarnai, Jaurasi Khalsa and Beholi were Pre-Harappan and Harappan settlements and the centers of activity during pre-historic times. The discovery of Kushana bricks and Yaudheya and Samantadeva coins and Gurjara- Pratihara inscriptions indicate the extension of their rule in this region. During the medieval period, the district rose into prominence continually. Important monuments like forts, gates, palaces, mosques and mausoleums built during Sultanate and Mughal rule illustrate the importance of the district in that era. The places of interest of the region, which are known for their antiquity or architecture, and have acquired historical importance, are described in this chapter under relevant headings. PANIPAT TOWN Panipat town is located at 29º19'50" and 29º26'27" North latitude and 76º56'0" and 77º00'0" East longitude. It is situated about 34 kilometres south of Karnal and 82 kilometres north of Delhi on National Highway-1 popularly known as Grand Trunk Road parallel to which also runs the Delhi-Ambala section of the Northern Railway through the city. It is a major industrial town of Haryana. Panipat town has a population of 5,15,375 persons with 2,75,836 males and 2,39,539 females as per census 2011. In ancient times, Panipat was known as panprastha, a abode of water or a watery place. Some historians call it as panikhet, which means abundance of water1. The town is of great antiquity, dating back to the period of war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, when it formed one of well-known five patas or prasthas (Panipat, Sonipat, Inderpat, Baghpat and Talpat) which were demanded by Lord Krishana, being ambassador of peace on the behalf of Pandavas from Duryodhana.

ABOUT CENTER FOR CIVILIANS IN CONFLICT Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians caught in conflict. CIVIC’s mission is to work with armed actors and civilians in conflict to develop and implement solutions to prevent, mitigate, and respond to civilian harm. Our vision is a world where parties to armed conflict recognize the dignity and rights of civilians, prevent civilian harm, protect civilians caught in conflict, and amend harm. CIVIC was established in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a young humanitarian who advocated on behalf of civilian war victims and their families in Iraq and Afghanistan. Building on her extraordinary legacy, CIVIC now operates in conflict zones throughout the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and South Asia to advance a higher standard of protection for civilians. At CIVIC, we believe that parties to armed conflict have a responsibility to prevent and address civilian harm. To accomplish this, we assess the causes of civilian harm in particular conflicts, craft practical solutions to address that harm, and advocate the adoption of new policies and practices that lead to the improved wellbeing of civilians caught in conflict. Recognizing the power of collaboration, we engage with civilians, governments, militaries, and international and regional institutions to identify and institutionalize strengthened protections for civilians in conflict.

It promotes the dynamic connections between gender and sexuality across a diverse range of religious and spiritual lives, cultures, histories, and geographical locations, as well as contemporary discourses around secularism and non-religion. The series publishes cutting-edge research that considers religious experiences, communities, institutions, and discourses in global and transnational contexts, and examines the fluid and intersecting features of identity and social positioning. Using theoretical and methodological approaches from inter/transdisciplinary perspectives, Bloomsbury Studies in Religion, Gender, and Sexuality addresses the neglect of religious studies perspectives in gender, queer, and feminist studies, and offers a space in which gender-critical approaches to religions engage with questions of intersectionality, particularly with respect to critical race, disability, post-colonial and decolonial theories. 9781350041752_txt_final.indd 2 24-09-2019 21:23:27 Beyond Religion in India and Pakistan Gender and Caste, Borders and Boundaries Virinder S.
