When years of earnest hard work 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 personalities who helped me undertake this challenging job. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Prof. Javed Musarrat, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor BGSBU Rajouri for providing me an opportunity to fulfil my dream of teaching ‘Islamic Sciences’ at the newly established department of Islamic Studies, in BGSB University. The present volume in fact emanates from the diligently prepared class notes by the author, and a series of lectures delievered during academic sessions. I am highly indebted to Prof. Naseem Ahmad Shah (KU), Prof. Iqbal Parwez the Dean Academic affairs BGSBU and Prof. Akhtarul Wasey Professor Emeritus JMI New Delhi and President, Maulana Azad University, Jodhpur Rajasthan; who have always been patting my shoulders for undertaking academic research and publications. 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 Ms. Munira Begum for the moral support and 7 encouragement throughout my academic endeavors. My special thanks are due to my colleagues, research scholars and students at department of Islamic Studies, particularly Mr. Khalid Hussain, who spared their precious time to review the script several times and for all the required support and feed back. Plainly speaking, without their help and encouragement; the execution of this extensive work would have been rather impossible. The present volume, primarily based on class notes, has been compiled keeping in view the requirements of university students and scholars undergoing various courses in Islamic studies. It is in fact a humble attempt by a selfless soul, to present Islamic teachings in assimilable format to the seekers of knowledge; with the basic objective of sharing correct knowledge of Islam as ‘Sadaqa e Jaaria’ and not to reap any worldly harvest. In doing so I was inspired by the diligence and sincerity of ‘Honeybee’ and wish to thank all those flowers whose nectar adds to the flavour of this recipe. I thank Almighty Allah for uncountable blessings that made it possible for me to finally complete this dream 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 room for improvement’ and I solicit feedback and suggestions for improvement in the next edition. Dr. Anjum Awan BGSBU Rajouri 8 FOREWORD Islamic Studies as an academic subject, finds place in various universities from Kashmir to Kerala. One can’t deny the contributions of Indian Scholars to Islamic knowledge. Take for example exceptional work of Maulana Habib-ul-Rahman Azmi in the field of Hadith that has won him global accolades. Likewise Indian scholars have contributed immensely in every field, be it Tafsir or Fiqh, Tasawwuf or Ilm-ul-Kalam. In our country, we have a treasure trove of religious intellectuals who have written in diverse languages and more specifically in Arabic, Persian, Urdu and English. It is also, however a fact that students of Islamic Studies in Universities and Colleges tend to rely more on the works of Scholars like T.W. Arnold, P.K. Hitti, W. C. Smith, H. R. Gibb which mould these young minds’ outlook and they tend to believe them blindly resulting in faulty reasoning. This scenario prompted Dr. Anjum Awan to produce a compelling and comprehensive treatise on Islamiyat unifying faith, prayer and religious affairs. Dr. Anjum has his own unique and distinct story. Trained as Medic, he has contributed immensely in the field of medicine in his capacity of being a child-specialist. But his determination to complete Ph. D. in Islamic Studies added new feathers in his cap. And at the nadir of his medical career, he shed his whitte apron and transcended to contribute in the field of teaching. He defies all descriptions of intellectuality and is a living example of ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’ and ‘God helps those who help themselves’. It is pertinent to mention 9 here that Dr Rafique Anjum has not just made his name in medicine and Islamic Studies but he is also a noted Urdu Poet and one of the authorities on Gojri language. This avatar of his has a wide readership in literary circles. Dr. Anjum has also been awarded in this field, many times. I somehow moved away from what I was supposed to say but it is not my fault. It is the multi-faceted and exceptional personality of Dr. Anjum that one falls short of words when his contributions are to be seen and studied.

According to al-Mu'allami al-Yamani, it was applied at every stage – in learning hadith, in teaching hadith, in judging narrators, and in evaluating the authenticity of hadith.

  • Is Online Discussion a Viable Strategy for Higher Education in Developing Countries
    Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities 203 SHAH ABDUL LATIF BHITAI, LALON SHAH AND QAZI NAZRUL ISLAM’S CONTRIBUTTION TO SUFISM Mohammad Abu Tayyub Khan* Abstract: Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai (1688-1752) is undeniably the greatest Sufi poet of Sindhi Language. His nearest Bengali language bards are Lalon Shah and Qazi Nazrul Islam of Bangladesh. Shah Abdul Latif was born in an illustrious family in 1102 Hijri i.e. 1688 A.D. at Bhainpur, a village near Khatian Halla Taluka district Hyderabad, Sindh. His father Syed Habibullah himself was an outstanding Sufi poet. His forefather had migrated to Sindh from Arab peninsula and his descent is traced back to Prophet Mohammad (Peace upon him). In Bangla literature Fakir Lalon Shah (1774-1890) and Qazi Nazrul Islam (1899- 1976) are two most popular poets and maestros who have become famous for their respective mystical trends in folklores and modern songs. They made most of the mystic rhymes of their own like Shah Latif Bhitai. Lalon Shah and Qazi Nazrul Islam shared Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai’s School of Sufism and search for divine union with Great Self. They allegorically employed heroines from local folk stories in their poetry to expound complicated and abstract ideas of Sufism to the masses. The trio evidently appears to have benefited from the most revered and read mystic poet Maulana Rumi across the globe. * Dr Muhammad Abu Tayyub Khan, Assistant Professor, Department of Bangali, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan 204 Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Lalon Shah and Qazi Nazrul Islam’s Contribution to Sufism Mysticism and Sufism Sufism has been described differently by scholars but they all consider it as being the inner, esoteric, mystical, or purely spiritual dimension of the religion of Islam.
