We were so late in printing the first issue of our journal though we had already finalized it in the month of January 2016. The delay happened due to some legal formalities. Sincere thanks to Allah Who bestowed upon us desire and courage to serve Arabic and Islamic Studies. Like the previous issue this one also contains eleven articles both original and translations with one book-review and one long poem. This time we have introduced one new topic and that is obituary of the great scholars of Arabic and Islamic Studies. The first article is second and last part of the article of Maulāna Waḥiduddīn Khān. Maulāna Khān has proved through ample examples that the Qur’ān has remained an eternal miracle and will forever remain so in sha Allah. His systematic and scientific approach of the topic is well-known to the academic circle. The second article is second part of English translation of the Arabic thesis ‘Tarjamāt Ma‘āni al-Qur’ān al-Injiliziyyah al- Mukhtārah munḍu 1930 ḥattá 2001’. It is also an introductory discussion where the author has discussed how the companions of the Prophet (PBUH) pondered upon the Qur’ān to understand its contents. In this sub-chapter the author figured out the sources from which the companions of the Prophet benefited directly. Through several examples the author proved that these companions benefitted from all existing sources for thinking on the Qur’ān. 6 The Indian Journal of Arabic and IslamicStudies April-June 2016 The third article is on emergence of interest-free finance with special reference to India. After discussing the social and legal importance of interest-free finance the author has indicated how it was approved by India- a non-Islamic country. The fourth article discusses harmony of religion with philosophy. Many Muslim philosophers like Fārābī (d. 950 A.D) and Ibn Sīnāʾ (d. 1037 A.D), thought that there is no conflict between religion and philosophy. But there are some other Muslim philosophers like al-Kindī (d. 873 A.D) and Sajistānī, who were of the opinion that religion and philosophy are two separate domains of knowledge, and for that reason, they cannot be reconciled. Ibn Rushd (d. 1198 A.D) supported the view of first group. The author, Prof. Alṭāf Aḥmad A’ẓmī, has discussed, in his paper, the attitudes of religion and philosophy to some basic issues related to metaphysics, and their harmony and conflict in this regard with special reference to Ibn Rushd’s thought. The fifth article is on the origin and development of Arabu- Tamil language. It has been written by Dr. K M A Ahmed Zubair, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Arabic (The New College, Chennai). The Arabu-Tamil language emerged as an Islamic classifier but now it is among the dead languages. The writer, who knows the language well, has discussed the matter elaborateltly. The sixth article is second part of English translation of the book ‘Arab-o-Hind ‘Ahd-i-Risālat men’ [(India and Arabia during the Period of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)]. This part deals with old trade relations between Arabia and India. The seventh article is a critical survey of the book “The Cambridge History of Arabic Literature to the End of the 7 The Indian Journal of Arabic and IslamicStudies April-June 2016 Umayyad Period”. Cambridge University Press is famous for printing several significant voluminous books of Arabic and Islamic Studies. But what the orientalists intend by their works on Islam and Arabic language is not unknown to the Muslim scholars. Professor Faizanullah Farooqi who is a great scholar and critic of Arabic and Islamic Studies and a poet of Arabic, Persian and Urdu took this book into notice and studied it critically. He has pointed out its slips, mistakes and distortions made on one way or the other. It is a balanced critical study whose first part is in your hand. The eighth article is on Islamic history written and compiled in Urdu language. Urdu language, like other living languages, is not only a language of fictions and novels but also it has in its garb a considerable collection of books of humanities and sciences.

  • Singapore in Global History Singaporederek Heng Is Assistant Professor at the History in Singapore in Department, Ohio State University
    Publications Series Edited Volumes 14 Singapore in Global History SingaporeDerek Heng is Assistant Professor at the History in Singapore in Department, Ohio State University. He specialises in pre-modern Sino-Southeast Asian economic interaction and early Southeast Asian state formation. Syed Muhd Khairudin Aljunied is Assistant Professor Singapore in at the Malay Studies Department, National University Globalof Singapore. His research History encompasses colonial Global History history, the history of ideas and social identities. Global History Heng | Aljunied (eds.) Singapore in Global History brings together scholars working in the fields of political science, international relations, history, sociology, literature, art history and architecture to explore ways in which Singapore’s history could be looked upon from a global perspective. The volume’s papers make a collective attempt at Edited by arguing, often in radically novel fashion, that Singapore Derek Heng and Syed Muhd Khairudin Aljunied can be conceived both as core and periphery, and that the logic of the post-colonial nation-narrative, which attributes Singapore’s success primarily to the roles of big men and strong government, are inadequate. This volume locates Singapore as a central space between the major termini of maritime Asia and the world, and articulates the island as a strategic location where the global processes find their nesting place, where its society is fundamentally affected by these processes, and where the roots of global transformative processes eventually emanate to far reaching parts of a globalising world. This path-breaking and multidisciplinary collection of essays broadens the horizons of, and suggests new ways of approaching, Singapore history, from the fourteenth century to the present, by placing the island and its people in a larger comparative and global framework.

  • The Rise and Decline of Arabu–Tamil Language for Tamil Muslims Dr
    IIUC STUDIES ISSN 1813-7733 Vol.- 10 & 11, December 2014 (p 263-282) The Rise and Decline of Arabu–Tamil Language for Tamil Muslims Dr. K. M. A. Ahamed Zubair* Abstract: The Arab Muslim Traders and the native Tamil converts to Islam in Tamilnadu state of India and Sri Lanka came into closer contact as a result of their commercial activities. They were bound by a common religion, but separated by two different languages They felt the necessity for a link-language. They started to write Tamil in an adapted Arabic script called Arabu-Tamil. The Arabu-Tamil or Arwi script represents the Tamil language using an Arabic style of scripts. From eighth century to nineteenth century, this language enjoyed its popularity among Tamil speaking Muslims of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. The valuable and useful ideas of Tamil Muslim minds were conveyed in Arabicized Tamil called Arabu-Tamil. It rendered a most useful service for the advancement and progress of Arab and Tamil cultures. However, the beginning of the twentieth century saw the decline of Arwi language. And no step was taken to arrest this decline. The study analyses its rise and decline as a language of Tamil Muslims. Introduction Arwi or Arabu-Tamil is an Arabic-influenced dialect of the Tamil language written with an extension of the Arabic alphabet, with extensive lexical and phonetic influences from the Arabic language. Arabu-Tamil was used extensively by the Muslim minority of Tamil Nadu state of India and Sri Lanka. This language was devised as a means for communication and interaction of the settled Arabs of Tamil Nadu to the Tamil people.
