  • ANGELS in ISLAM a Commentary with Selected Translations of Jalāl
    ANGELS IN ISLAM A Commentary with Selected Translations of Jalāl al-Dīn al-Suyūṭī’s Al-Ḥabā’ik fī akhbār al- malā’ik (The Arrangement of the Traditions about Angels) S. R. Burge Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2009 A loose-leaf from a MS of al-Qazwīnī’s, cAjā’ib fī makhlūqāt (British Library) Source: Du Ry, Carel J., Art of Islam (New York: Abrams, 1971), p. 188 0.1 Abstract This thesis presents a commentary with selected translations of Jalāl al-Dīn cAbd al- Raḥmān al-Suyūṭī’s Al-Ḥabā’ik fī akhbār al-malā’ik (The Arrangement of the Traditions about Angels). The work is a collection of around 750 ḥadīth about angels, followed by a postscript (khātima) that discusses theological questions regarding their status in Islam. The first section of this thesis looks at the state of the study of angels in Islam, which has tended to focus on specific issues or narratives. However, there has been little study of the angels in Islamic tradition outside studies of angels in the Qur’an and eschatological literature. This thesis hopes to present some of this more general material about angels. The following two sections of the thesis present an analysis of the whole work. The first of these two sections looks at the origin of Muslim beliefs about angels, focusing on angelic nomenclature and angelic iconography. The second attempts to understand the message of al-Suyūṭī’s collection and the work’s purpose, through a consideration of the roles of angels in everyday life and ritual.

  • Debating Torment of the Grave: an Optimality-Theoretic Account of (Inter) Textuality
    International Journal of Linguistics ISSN 1948-5425 2011, Vol. 3, No. 1: E27 Debating Torment of the Grave: An Optimality-Theoretic Account of (Inter) Textuality Rasheed Saleem Al-Jarrah Language Center, Yarmouk University Irbid, Jordan Tel: 9-622-721-1111 (4177) E-mail: [email protected] Received: July 27, 2011 Accepted: September 19, 2011 doi:10.5296/ijl.v3i1.814 Abstract Influenced by the on-going discussion on textuality (Halliday and Hassan 1976, 1985, Hassan 1984; Sperber and Wilson 1986/1995) and shielded with the basic premises and conventional notations of some linguistic theory, namely Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky, 1993, McCarthy and Prince, 1993a, b), this study aims to present a new religious outlook of grave torment that depends mainly on ijtihad (re-interpretations of the scriptures). The main thrust of the argument is like this: grave torment (we believe) is never backed up by verses of the Holy Qur'an. This is not to present a view that conflicts with the previously established canon of belief, but to show two things: (1) the reported prophetic evidence about grave torment is violable; and (2) the often-cited Qur'anic evidence for grave punishment is misinterpreted. In order to do just that, some of the local and global intuitions invoked by some Qur'anic verse (commonly alluded to as evidence for grave torment) are brought to light. Key words: Grave torment, Grave punishment, Text analysis, Optimal solutions 1 www.macrothink.org/ijl International Journal of Linguistics ISSN 1948-5425 2011, Vol. 3, No. 1: E27 1. Background According to the most common understanding of Islam, the following excerpt from The Encyclopedia of Death and Dying, Entry: Islam(Note 1)summarizes the basic beliefs of mainstream Muslims about grave torment: … as Muslims believe that the deceased can hear and understand what is being said.

  • Angels and Jinn, Page 1
    C.T.R. Hewer GCSE Islam: Transcript, Beliefs, Angels and Jinn, page 1 Transcript: Beliefs, Angels and Jinn Angels and Jinn Angels are spirit beings ‘created of light’. They can take on different forms, appearing and disappearing. They do not eat, drink or reproduce [Q. 19:64, 35:1].1 They don’t have free will, which means that they are always completely muslim, and so this makes them ideally suited to carrying out the tasks set for them by God [Q. 66:6].2 One of their most important tasks is to act as messengers from God’s world to the created world. Because they do not have the capacity to disobey God, they are able to deliver God’s messages in a complete and unadulterated form. We do not know how many angels there are in total, but there are Hadith that state that they are more than any other kind of creature. Some of them are identified in the Qur'an and Islamic tradition, e.g. Jibril, the carrier of messages; Mika'il, who guards places of worship; Israfil, who will sound the trumpet on the Day of Resurrection; Izra'il, the bringer of death; Ridzwan, the guardian of Heaven; Malik, the guardian of Hell; and Munkar and Nakir, who interrogate the souls in the grave. In addition to these named angels, according to the Qur'an, there are two which accompany each of us through life (Kiraman and Katibin) [Q. 6:61, 50:17-18].3 One records all our good deeds; the other all the bad things we do.

Higher ranks may be asserted to have greater power or authority over lower ranks, and with different ranks having differences in appearance, such as varying numbers of wings or faces. Abrahamic faiths The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Botticini at the National Gallery The Jewish angelic hierarchy is established London, shows three hierarchies and nine orders of angels, each with different in the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Rabbinic characteristics. literature, and traditional Jewish liturgy. They are categorized in different hierarchies proposed by various theologians. For example, Maimonides, in his Mishneh Torah or Yad ha-Chazakah: Yesodei ha-Torah, counts ten ranks of angels. The most influential Christian angelic hierarchy was that put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in the 4th or 5th century in his book De Coelesti Hierarchia (On the Celestial Hierarchy).

  • Mythology and Cosmology of Cirebonese Traditions
    Chapter 3: Mythology and Cosmology of Cirebonese Traditions INTRODUCTION My son, Harlan, once decided to go to Jakarta via Puncak (Bogor). Because it was on an important business trip I told him to go on Wednesday Pahing. For certain reasons he firmly insisted on going the day before and I could do nothing but let him go and told him to be extra careful. Upon his leaving I tried not to think about him but I could not stop. Three days later I got a telegram from his office in Tangerang suggesting that I should see my son. Without knowing what had happened I set off immediately to Tangerang and found him lying in hospital after a not-so-serious injury in a bus crash ¼1 One feature of Cirebon is its richness in myths and legends. Seldom is the name of a single place, locality or object such as a site, river, mountain and lake free from mythical or legendary tales. Each name bears its own folk-story of origin. It is a common knowledge that the name ªCirebonº, meaning the water of tiny shrimps, is derived primarily from Ci or Cai meaning `water' and rebon meaning `tiny shrimps' and is associated with the development of the fishing industry pioneered by its first Kuwu, Ki Cakrabumi. Similar to this are the names of Kuningan, Indramayu and Majalengka, the other three regencies in the residency of Cirebon. They are also associated with mythical derivation and origin. The name Kuningan, for example, refers to the legend of Pangeran Kuningan and Aria Kemuning.

  • Angels, Jinn and the Final Judgement Angels One of The
    C.T.R. Hewer. UI: Standing before God 9, page 1 Understanding Islam Series Two: Standing before God To view the video that goes with this article, go to www.ahlulbayt.tv/understandingislam Part Nine: Angels, Jinn and the Final Judgement Angels One of the articles of faith for Muslims is to believe in the angels. They are mentioned numerous times in the Qur'an and, like everything else, they were created by God [Q. 35:1], therefore they had a beginning and eventually they will come to an end. But angels do not reproduce, so once angels are created by God they live until the final conclusion of the existence of all created things. We do not know how many angels there are in total, but there are Hadith that state that they are more than any other kind of creature. We are told that there are vast numbers in heaven, where they are constantly engaged in the worship of God. Angels are spirit beings ‘created of light.’ They do not eat or drink. They don’t have free will, which means that they are always completely obedient to God and therefore muslim, and so this makes them ideally suited to carrying out the tasks set for them by God [Q. 19:64; 66:6]. They act as God’s agents to keep the creation operating as God wills. One of their most important tasks is to act as messengers from God’s world to the created world. Because they do not have the capacity to disobey God, they are able to deliver God’s messages in a complete and unadulterated form.

  • Important Guidelines About the Authenticity of the Reports and Quotations in the Tafsir of Ibn Kathir Reports from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah
    Important Guidelines About the Authenticity of the Reports and Quotations in the Tafsir of Ibn Kathir Reports from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah Reports that are attributed to the companions of Allah's Messenger are commonly used for additional explanation of the meanings of the Qur'an. As for those quotes that Ibn Kathir mentions in passing, these quotes may, or may not be authentically attributed to them. Wherever it is mentioned that one of them said something, and that statement contradicts other clearly authentic texts, then such statements can not be held as an evidence against what is known to be authentic. Additional information in this regard is found in the Introduction of Ibn Kathir. Incomplete Chains of Narration The following is a list of common incomplete chains of narrations that AI-Hafiz Ibn Kathir often quotes. · 'Ali bin Abi Talhah (AI-Walibi) reported that Ibn 'Abbas said... · ('Atiyah) Al-'Awfi reported that Ibn 'Abbas said... · Ad-Dahhak from Ibn 'Abbas. · As-Suddi reported from Abu Malik and Abu Salih from Ibn · Abbas, Ibn Mas'ud and [or] some men among the companions. · Al-Hasan AI-Basri reporting from or about the Prophet. · Qatadah reporting from or about the Prophet. All narrations coming from these chains are unauthentic according to the Sciences of Hadith. Their meanings, however, may be correct as understood by authentic texts, and for this reason they are commonly referenced. Reports from the Followers of the Companions and those who Follow them The following is a list of those who did not see the Prophet , but they report from companions of the Prophet , while often they themselves are quoted for Tafsir.
