More specifically is the case in the implementation of the above method wherein the mujtahids were unable to get two hadiths incongruent over a particular issue, whereas there could never be contradictions amongst the hadiths. This paper examines the concept and application of al-Tawaqquf in Mukhtalif al-Hadith according to hadith scholars. The research is conducted via data collection methods sourced from literature review. Data from various major hadith compilations and the Ulum al-Hadith are analyzed based on deductive and inductive methods. The findings show that the al-Tawaqquf concept is based on several principles. Applying it becomes compulsory in the event of failure to resolve inconsistencies among hadiths. In those situations the mujtahid and his inability is blamed, and this does not absolve other mujtahids from continuing their efforts. This research also proves that the al-Tawaqquf methodology is not only one solution to solve the discrepancies amongst hadiths but is one of the methods engaged by hadith jurists when they cannot reconcile contradictions.

In the first chapter I deal with the fixed punishments or Mal hududrl; four punishments are discussed: the punishments for theft, armed robbery, adultery and slanderous allegations of unchastity. The other two punishments which are usually classified as "hudud11, i.e. the punishments for wine-drinking and apostasy are dealt with in the second chapter. The idea that they are not punishments of "hudud11 is fully ex- plained. Neither of these two punishments was fixed in definite terms in the Qurfan or the Sunna? therefore the traditional classification of both of then cannot be accepted.

  • The Arabized and the Intruder in Al Muheet Dictionary by Al Fayrouzabadi Dr
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(6) Nov-Dec 2020 | Available online: https://ijels.com/ The Arabized and the Intruder in Al Muheet Dictionary by Al Fayrouzabadi Dr. Shatha Jassim Hadi Al-Iraqia University, College of Media, Iraq Received: 11 Nov 2020; Received in revised form: 07 Dec 2020; Accepted: 13 Dec 2020; Available online: 19 Dec 2020 ©2020 The Author(s). Published by Infogain Publication. This is an open access article under the CC BY license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Abstract— It is known to all of us that language is a system that is affected by time and space, and is subjected to the growth, development, death and extinction to which living organisms are exposed. And while people are suffering, the language is also struggling, so some words will migrate from one language or move to another, because some people move from one country to another. Therefore, the presence of the arabized and the intruder in the language is a natural human phenomenon, as is the case with the meetings with people, their cooperation and experiences, and the exchange of interests and experiences between them. Because understanding language is the main means to achieve this goal, and it is self-evident that a person puts foreign words in a specific situation and differs from one case to another, so they are common in his language and mixed with it, so sometimes it is difficult to know their source. Like other languages, the Arabic language suffers from the multitude of languages, because the Arabs before Islam met people from afar, but the scope of this meeting was limited and narrow because they lived on their own islands.

  • Michael Farquhar SAUDI PETRODOLLARS
    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 47 (2015), 701–721 doi:10.1017/S002074381500094X Michael Farquhar SAUDI PETRODOLLARS, SPIRITUAL CAPITAL, AND THE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY OF MEDINA: A WAHHABI MISSIONARY PROJECT IN TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE Abstract While the idea that Saudi Arabia has functioned as a beacon of ultraconservative religious influence since the 1970s oil boom is commonplace, the modalities of this influence have rarely been seriously interrogated. As a window onto this issue, this article considers the history of the Islamic University of Medina, an influential Wahhabi missionary project with global ambitions. It pays particular attention to the role played by non-Saudi staff, who for long periods made up a majority of the university’s faculty. Previous accounts of migrants working in Saudi religious educational institutions have tended to focus on the contested question of their contribution to the rise of politically activist modes of Islamism within the kingdom. In contrast, the account offered here draws on the concept of spiritual capital to argue that they also played an important part in legitimizing the expansion of the Wahhabi mission to diverse Muslim communities around the world. In 1960 Abu al-Ala Mawdudi, head of the South Asian Islamist movement, the Jamaat-i Islami, arrived in Riyadh carrying plans, apparently drawn up at the request of King Saud, for an ambitious missionary project. His traveling companions included Khalil Ahmad al-Hamidi, the Jamaat’s point man for relations with Islamic movements in the Arabic-speaking world. Saud convened a committee to discuss the proposals which, besides Mawdudi, included the kingdom’s grand mufti Muhammad ibn Ibrahim; the Medina-born Muhammad Ali al-Harakan, who would later head the Muslim World League; the Indian scholar Abu al-Hasan Ali Nadwi of the Nadwat al-Ulama move- ment; and one Abd al-Latif ibn Ibrahim, probably the brother of the grand mufti who was charged with overseeing a system of religious colleges established in Saudi Arabia since the early 1950s.

    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND April 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Reviews of Isra'iliyyat in Interpreting the "Tafsir Ayyashi" Afshin Hatami* MA Student Theology of Quran and Hadith Sciences, Iran *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] Azam Farjami Faculty Member of Razi University, Iran Abstract "Isra'iliyyat" was mostly fake narratives influenced by imported beliefs of foreigners (Jews, Christians, and Magus) that have found their way to religious texts, or by interpretations of Quran, "asātirol'avvalin" or ancient legends, that quoted narratives and interpreted the verses about creation and stories about the prophets with a deviated view. This deviated idea from the Jewish point of view found heirs among Muslims that Khawarij and Ash'arites could be named as the most important ones, who believed in the fallibility of prophets and demoted the messengers to the level of ordinary people. Of course, the arrival of Isra'iliyyat thoughts into the Islamic culture would have numerous adverse effects on the status of Islam; these hadiths mixed the authentic interpretation and hadith of Islamic with superstition and caused corruption and deviation in the Islamic faith. This distorted the image of Islam and made it as a superstitious religion. This same applies to multiply the importance of addressing this issue. The significant issue about the Isra'iliyyat is the extremity view, which believed in fallibility of prophets, the incarnation of God and his reproofs about the prophets that faced this diverted flow with a major challenged, and the hadith critics must deal with its new extensions with a fundamental choice.

  • Meaning and Captivity in Classical Arabic Philology
    Journal of Abbasid Studies 5 (2018) 177-228 brill.com/jas Meaning and Captivity in Classical Arabic Philology David Larsen New York University, New York, NY, USA [email protected] Abstract This article takes a close look at the word maʿnā as analyzed by Abbasid-era authorities on the Arabic language, chiefly Ibn Fāris (d. 395/1004). The word’s context-sensitivity and polysemy are well known; less well appreciated are the lexical and morphological preconditions for maʿnā’s diversity of meanings across the disciplines. Even less well studied (though widely quoted in lexicographical literature) is the anonymous basīṭ- meter couplet that Ibn Fāris cites in al-Ṣāḥibī fī fiqh al-lugha as a locus probans for the word. The speaker in these verses boasts of ransoming a bound captive (ʿānī), using maʿnā to refer to the captive’s abject state. There is evidence to suggest that the verses once featured in a lost work of the philologist Abū Naṣr al-Bāhilī (d. 231/855) called Kitāb Abyāt al-maʿānī. This was an anthology of verses framed like riddles whose inter- pretation hinged on double meanings and rare metaphors, and its form and content may be judged by numerous outtakes preserved in later anthologies and lexica. The affiliation of Ibn Fāris’s verses to Kitāb Abyāt al-maʿānī would confirm that the deriva- tion of maʿnā truly is a puzzle with multiple answers. To contemplate its parameters is to uncover a paradigm for meaning in which noetic intention and phenomenological exposure are figurative correlates of bodily captivity and duress.
