Imam Ibn Jarir and the Fanatics of Baghdad Imam Ibn Jarir and the Fanatics of Baghdad The Imam of Tafsir Ibn Jarir At-Tabari & The Fanatics of Baghdad Introduction: Historically, people have always been treated unjustly and oppressed by their contemporaries along with their sightless followers. Allah has a method of testing His slaves with trials and suffering to strengthen their faith to elevate their status in this World, or in the next. The righteous scholars, who carry Allah’s Word and His Prophet s Sunnah and defend them will be afflicted in this life’(ﷺ) from the ill-mannered fools in their society or by global campaigns lead by gangs. Among those in history badly affected by fools and fanatics was a great scholar named: “Muhammad ibn Jarir ibn Yazeed ibn Katheer” He is mentioned more often as Abu Ja’far At-Tabari or Ibn Jarir. Ibn Jarir was an erudite of Quranic sciences and the Sunnah, something that is widely recognized is his book, “Tafsir At-Tabari”. Khateeb Al-Baghdadi said: “Ibn Jarir was an Imam among the Imams of Islam. His speech and opinions are reference points.” Abu Ja’far was so widely read that he collected knowledge and information that no one else did during his lifetime. He had extensive knowledge about the Quran, the Sunnah and its chains of narration, which placed him on rank able to distinguish between the Sahih and weak Ahadeeth, along with their abrogated reports. Also, Ibn Jarir was educated about the speech of the Sahabah and the Tabee’een. He was also a noted historian, who authored a book titled, “Akhbar Al-umam wa Tarikhahum” His most noted works are his Tafsir and Tahtheebul Athar, and both books are unique in their field.[1] Imam Ath-Thahabibi said: “Ibn Jarir At-Tabari was trustworthy, honest and a Hafith. He was a leader in Tafsir and an Imam in Fiqh, with knowledge about the issues of Ijma and the differing opinions. Moreover, this imam was a historian with deep insight about the various Quran recitations and Arabic language”.[2] Ahmed ibn Abee Tahir said: “If a person travelled to China in search of Tafseer At-Tabari that wouldn’t be considered extreme.”[3] Ibn Jarir moved and remained Baghdad in the latter part of his life. When he went there he began to spread his books and assemble everything he learned during his journey and path of seeking knowledge. He remained firm with his views after having the opportunity to meet various scholars. These judgments of his became known as: “ Mathab Al-Jariri” Which was an independent school of jurisprudence in Baghdad, and this caused some disturbances amongst the people there. The countless fanatical followers of Imam Ahmed’s Mathab rebelled against Ibn Jarir and assailed him with foul names and brutal physical attacks. The main reasons they behaved in this fashion towards this Imam were; Reasons of bad behaviors of fanatics: 1. After Ibn Jarir researched and examined issues he came to the conclusion that Imam Ahmed was a Hafith and scholar of Hadith, but not a Faqeeh. For that reason when he wrote, “Ikhtalaf Al-Fuqaha” and he passed over Imam Ahmed’s opinions. He supported this decision since he presumed that Imam Ahlus Sunnah didn’t write any books about Fiqh, but focused more of his attention on the Hadith sciences. In view of that Imam Ibn Jarir didn’t mention any of Imam Ahmed’s legal opinions ,with the Fatawa of the scholars ,and the Fuqaha in his book ,so The Hanabala asked him: “Why didn’t you cite our Imam in your book? Abu Ja’far replied: “He wasn’t a Faqeeh, but only a Muhaddith.” They didn’t appreciate that answer and there were so many followers of the Hanabala Jurisprudence in Baghdad at that time, so they turned against Ibn Jarir and said whatever they felt like about him without thought ,or concern of his status in knowledge. As time went on the Hanabala of Baghdad raged such a storm against Imam At-Tabari, he couldn’t come out of his house, and when he did they would throw rocks at him. This rebellion against Imam At-Tabari escalated to the point that one day the police came to his house along with thousands of soldiers, and a regular crowd of people who were part of this chaos were already there. They instigated the officers present to go against Imam Ibn Jarir, so much so Ibn Al-Khuzaymah said: “The Hanabala have oppressed Ibn Jarir.” Ibn Jarir wrote a book refuting the Hanabala ,and their leading Imam at that time who was Abu Bakr ibn Abee Dawud (Imam Abu Dawud’s son, author of Sunnan Abee Dawud). Imam Ath-Thahabi said: “The Hanabala were a faction of followers loyal to Abu Bakr ibn Abee Dawud. Abu Bakr stirred up major turmoil against Ibn Jarir until he was unable to leave his house. I seek refuge in Allah from desires.” Al-Hafith Ibn Al-Atheer said: “The Hanabala prevent people from going to learn from Ibn Jarir[4] ” Ibn Kathir said: “From their ignorance they accused Ibn Jarir of being an atheist, and may Allah forbid that this imam.” Abu Bakr Muhammed ibn Dawud Ath-Thahiri a great scholar of Quran and Sunnah accused At-Tabari of terrible things such as being. This is partially due to fact that At-Tabari was one of his students in the beginning, but then later on had his own study circle. Both of these scholars used to write books back and forth refuting each. Abu Bakr Muhammad Ath-Thahiri died [297H] and that was the end of that 1st chapter of drama and fitnah. Then Abu Bakr Abdullah ibn Sulayman, became the new ringleader for the hardships that Imam At-Tabari encountered. Abdullah ibn Abi Dawud and Ibn Jarir were considered contemporary amongst each other and this is part of the dispute that lead to this problem. Other reasons were Abu Bakr denied the hadith of Ghadir Khumm and Imam At-Tabari wrote a two volume book saying it was authentic. AlsoIbn Jarir wrote a book about the virtues of the Quran and likewise Abu Bakr authored one. For these reasons mentioned Imam At- Tabari was accused of being an apostate, Raafidha, a Shia, and even a Mu’tazliah in some areas. Despite all of these accusations and hostility Imam At-Tabari remained firm in his Aqeedah and legal opinions. Sometimes he would try to explain his position about their leaders to please them; however they weren’t trying hearing it, so his clarification was met with malicious acts and fell on deaf ears. Imam Ibn Jarir wrote a book trying to bring reconciliation with the Hanabala by apologizing to them not because he was weak, but to explain the reason he had that opinion. Nonetheless, the Hanabala remained adamant towards Imam At-Tabari until he died in his house. He was buried inside of his home out of fear from the Hanabala’s physical attacks. After his death people from around the world would pass by his home and offer salah over his grave. Reflections & Minhaj Lessons from the Story: A poet once said: They are more frightened than a fox Amazing how tonight is identical to last night Abu Al-Fadl Al-Maydan explained the meaning of this poem is some people will resemble others in their evil and deceit and last night is used to show how close they are. As Muslims trying to follow the Salaf we need to pay attention our history; as history has a way of repeating itself. What we call Fitnah, discord and splitting is probably something we don’t truly understand since we haven’t taken lessons from the times gone and recorded in the history books. And Allah knows best. :said (ﷺ) The Prophet “The religion is naseehah (sincere advice).” We said, “To said, “To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, to the (ﷺ) whom?” He leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.”[5] This hadith plays an important role in maintaining the rights of Muslims and protecting them from harm. After reaching an elevated level scholarship Imam At-Tabari came to conclusion based on his scholarly judgments that Imam Ahmed wasn’t a Faqeeh,but only a Muhaddith, and this was an erroneous conclusion. Nevertheless, look at how he was treated for that error. Was he given advice from the Hanabala scholars, who claimed to be adherents to Imam Ahlus Sunnah Jurisprudence? Did that position warrant such hostility since he didn’t accept to place Imam Ahmed’s positions in his books? This is what we witness today and have been experiencing over the last decade that when 1 scholar Ijtihad isn’t accepted a person is shunned, rejected, boycotted and in some cases mentally and physically harmed.-Allah’s Help is sought. Imam Ahmed was a Faqeeh as stated by the numerous scholars during his era and after. He did write one book about a Salah, which was a Fiqh topic. He didn’t like his legal opinions of Fiqh topics to be recorded, as much as his Hadith. The fanatics asked Ibn Jarir why he didn’t include Imam Ahmed in his book and he gave a Fatwa based on his research, and they didn’t like his answer. This is similar to 2000-2017 when a person says something that they don’t like then a position is automatically taken against him. Regardless of the man’s academic level or authority in Islam, or even being from the common-folk; he will be treated unpleasant and cold, because they didn’t give the desired answer.

    Manifestation of Religious Authority on the Internet: Presentation of Twelver Shiite Authority in the Persian Blogosphere by Narges Valibeigi A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Narges Valibeigi 2012 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Narges Valibeigi ii Abstract Cyberspace has diversified and pluralized people’s daily experiences of religion in unprecedented ways. By studying several websites and weblogs that have a religious orientation, different layers of religious authority including “religious hierarchy, structures, ideology, and sources” (Campbell, 2009) can be identified. Also, using Weber’s definition of the three types of authority, “rational-legal, traditional, and charismatic” (1968), the specific type of authority that is being presented on blogosphere can be recognized. The Internet presents a level of liberty for the discussion of sensitive topics in any kind of religious cyberspace, specifically the Islamic one. In this way, the Internet is expanding the number and range of Muslim voices, which may pose problems for traditional forms of religious authority or may suggest new forms of authority in the Islamic world. The interaction between the Internet and religion is often perceived as contradictory, especially when it is religion at its most conservative practice. While the international and national applications of the Internet have increased vastly, local religious communities, especially fundamentalists, perceived this new technology as a threat to their local cultures and practices.

  • Ibnu Jarir Al-Tabari: a Great Historian of the Islamic World By: Apnizan
    Ibnu Jarir al-Tabari: A Great Historian of the Islamic World By: Apnizan Abdullah Introduction Abu Jaafar Muhammad Ibn Jarir al-Tabari was a great Shari’a scholar and historian who produced a prodigious chain of history concerning the rise and fall of various Muslim sects.1 His outstanding work, Tarikh al-Tabari2 has become a pivotal source of information for many generations of historians, especially pertaining to Islamic history and civilization. His work started to gain its remarkable popularity upon its translation into Persian in the year 963CE, upon the royal order of the Samanid Prince, Mansur Ibn Nuh. His historical data derived from numerous sources, including classical poetry, genealogy and tribal customs. These were all collected during his travels. The sources range in date from the Hijra to the year 915CE.3 Apart from history, al-Tabari is also well known for his notable contributions to the field of Quran and Hadith commentaries. His most influential and best known work in this area is the Qur'anic commentary known as Tafsir al-Tabari. This explains the text (sometimes word by word) based on its historical, lexicographic and juridical explanations. For every single Hadith he worked on, the chain of isnads (narrators) is sound and complete. Miskawayah, Ibn Asir and Abul Fida are among the Islamic historians who have referred to the works of al- Tabari. 4 He learnt fiqh and jurisprudence from various school of thoughts, including Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali and Zahiri. He also founded his own school of thought, known as “Jariri”. 5 1 Khan and Mohiuddin (n.d).

The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap: building on previous work by Nussbaum (1976) and Fellner (ms.), I investigate the Caland System in Tocharian and put forth an analysis of nine lexical items that I argue belonged to the Caland paradigm. I show that interpreting these Tocharian lexical items in this way offer new insight into the system on both a morphological and semantic level. The newly identified Tocharian Caland vocabulary includes six adjectives and three nouns: (i) TB l¯are ‘dear’; (ii) TB pr¯ake ‘firm, hard’; (iii) TB aikare, ‘empty’, TA ekro ‘poor’; (iv) TB ´sr¯ay (pl.) ‘old’; (v) TB m¯aka, TA m¯ak ‘many, much’; (vi) TB moko, TA mok ‘old, elder’; (vii) TB taupe ‘mine’; (viii) kare ‘worth, rank, dignity’; (ix) TB kr¯am¨ar ‘weight, heaviness’.

    Mukhammad Ilyasin From Madhab to Social Dogma From Madhab to Social Dogma: the Tablighi Jamaat’s Fluidity of Teachings and the Integration of Ummah Mukhamad Ilyasin; IAIN Samarinda; [email protected] Abstrak Jamaah tabligh adalah salah satu organisasi Islam terbesar di dunia. Meskipun tidak mengambil bentuk organisasi formal sebagaimana organisasi- organisasi Islam lain, aspek kedisiplinan dalam menjalankan prinsip-prinsip dasar organisasi, terutama yang berkenaan dengan bagaimana menjalankan dakwah di tengah masyarakat Muslim yang plural dalam hal mazhab, dari para anggota jamaah tabligh merupakan salah satu hal penting yang perlu untuk ditiru. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana strategi dakwah yang digunakan oleh Jamaah tabligh dalam menghadapi orang-orang dengan mazhab yang berbeda di tengah masyarakat. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jamaah tabligh menjunjung tinggi prinsip kesetaraan dalam dakwah yang mereka laksanakan melalui mekanisme fluidasi dan desakralisasi mazhab serta demazhabisasi. Dalam hal ini, setiap anggota dalam Jamaah Tabligh, terlepas dari status social dan afiliasi mazhabnya, memiliki kesempatan yang sama untuk menjadi da’I dan menjadi mad’u. Kata Kunci: Demazhabisasi, Desakralisasi, Fluidasi Mazhab, Jama’ah Tabligh, dan Strategi Dakwah. Abstract Tablighi Jamaat is one of the largest Muslim organization in the world. Despite lacking formal form of organization like other Islamic organization in general, the members of the Tablighi Jamaat is well known for their loyalty and discipline in implementing the principles of the organization, especially regarding the organizations’ guidelines on conducting da’wa to Muslims with different religious background such as madhab affiliation. This paper, therefore, aims at explaining the strategy of performing da’wa applied by the Tablighi Jamaat in plural social settings.

  • Competing Approaches
    Chapter 5 Competing approaches Although many Western historians of Islam are not Muslims, it would be diffi cult to determine this from their writings on the fi rst centuries of Islamic history. This is in stark contrast to historians of Judaism and Christianity, who tend to adopt an outsider’s approach to their subject when writing in academic contexts (despite often being themselves Jews and Christians). Why the difference? Before turning to answers, it is worth underlining the question. The traditional accounts of Islam’s rise tell us that in a remote and isolated region of Arabia (the Hijaz), in a pagan town unaccustomed to monotheism (Mecca), an illiterate man (Muhammad) began to recite verses full of references to Biblical characters and established monotheistic ideas. If we accept this basic outline – and most do – how are we to explain Muhammad’s acquaintance with these ideas? To traditionally minded Muslims, the answer is clear: God, via an angel, revealed the verses to him. In fact, it would be hard to be a believing Muslim in the traditional sense without accepting this version of events. Equally, however, Wansborough might argue that it would be hard to accept the broad outlines of the story without being a Muslim (or at least without accepting God’s hand in these events), for which reason he argued that Islam and the Quran developed later and elsewhere, where Jewish and Christian ideas were prevalent. Hagarism attempted to recreate the circumstances of this subsequent religious development. As noted above, almost 94 everyone agrees that both Wansborough and Hagarism are wrong on points of detail (though criticism of Hagarism focuses almost exclusively on the fi rst part of the book; few reviewers seem aware that the second and third parts contain salient points about the development of Islamic civilization in its Near Eastern context that might repay further investigation).

A violent rebellion with Muslim and anti-European overtones baffled the Dutch colonialists (VOC) and led to a series of humiliations for the Company on Aru, before eventually being subdued. As one of the main catalysts of the conflict stands the chief Tamalola from the Muslim island Ujir. Interestingly, this person is also a central figure in local traditions from Ujir. Moreover, his story connects with wider cultural and economic networks in eastern Indonesia. Thus the article asks how the imprints of the Tamalola figure in textual and non-textual sources can add to our knowledge of how communities of Eastern Indonesia ordered their lives outside colonial control. KEYWORDS Ujir; Aru Islands; Maluku; VOC; rebellion. Hans Hägerdal currently holds a position as Professor in History at Linnaeus University. He has worked on indigenous societies and colonial encounters in Eastern Indonesia. In particular, he has looked at the methodological problems and possibilities of writing indigenous history, using a concurrence of colonial data, oral tradition, and material remains. The present study was conducted in the context of a research project funded by the Linnaeus Center for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies.

  • ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS in ISLAMIC WILLS Hajj Ahmad Thomson This Summary Was Prepared in April 2012 [A Glossary of Arabic Terms Begins at Page 11]
    ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS IN ISLAMIC WILLS Hajj Ahmad Thomson This summary was prepared in April 2012 [A Glossary of Arabic Terms begins at page 11] General Introduction In order to understand the needs of Muslim clients, it helps to know a little about Islam and Muslims: The Arabic wordIslam means ‘safe and sound’ and ‘submission’ to the will of God. Muslims believe that there is only one God and that the Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be on him, was the last Messenger sent by God to man. The Arabic word Allah literally means ‘the God’. Muslims believe that by following the example of the Messenger of Allah and his first sincere followers and by obeying what is commanded in the Qur’an, they are thereby submitting to God’s will and will therefore be safe and sound both in this world and in the next. In ascertaining the needs of Muslim clients more precisely, there are three main elements which have to be considered: firstly, the practice of the Sunna – which can be defined briefly as: ‘the customary practice of a person or group of people. It has come to refer almost exclusively to the practice of the Messenger of Allah and to the first generation of Muslims;’ secondly, the requirements of the Shari‘a – which can be defined briefly as: ‘lit. road, the legal modality of a people based on the Revelation of their Prophet. The final Shari‘a is that of Islam;’ and thirdly, the requirements of the law of the land. Ideally Muslim clients should be in a position to follow the Sunna in accordance with the Shari‘a while complying with the law of the land – which by virtue of Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights, as incorporated into UK domestic law by virtue of the Human Rights Act 1998, guarantees their right to believe and worship and live and die as Muslims.

This thesis attempts to contribute critically to the recent debate and ‘obsession’ over the legal regulation of the hijab shared by westerns and Islamists. Trough anthropological, semiotic, political and legal theories, it proposes to give a different reading of the legal decisions over the practice of veiling in order to unwrap the way in which the tension between ‘secular’ and ‘religious’ is understood as an absolute polarization.
