Stewart of the University Library and the staff of the Inter-Library Loan Service; I am moreover extremely grateful for all the exemplary technical assistance that each of Mr. Morris and Mr. Scott uniquely provided for the final appearence of the thesis: to all I owe my utmost respect and appreciation. iv ABSTRACT OF THESIS The aim of this thesis is to study some of the earliest literary works in classical Arabic Literature, namely those of the cAbbäsid man of letters, al-Jähiz (160-250/776-869), that have dealt with the question of caliphate (Imäma), and are concerned with knowing who has the right to rule and the criteria underlying that right. The importance of this research lies in its attempt to reconstruct chronologically al-Jähiz's political works and thought by unfolding the full politico- religious heritage before al-Jähiz in order to understand the forces that had moulded his thought (Islamic, Umawi, °Uthmäni, Muctazili, Khäriji, Shi' i, Hanbali, etc. ), and assist any future study of his impact on other political authors. While benefiting from previous studies on al-Jähiz, generalizations that present him as a non-changeable entity have been avoided, in order to reach a more comprehensive judgement and fruitful understanding of al-Jähiz's political philosophy. Thus a detailed analysis of twenty seven extant Jähizian works that span half a century of °Abbäsid polity must precede any global assessment of the broad lines of al-Jähiz's political theory, which has to await the laborious yet indispensible and promising task of tracing the doctrinal constants and variants displayed in al- Jähiz's political thought throughout the varying political eras. Scholars of al-Jähiz are therefore offered a unique opportunity in which the full spectrum of his political thought is re-assembled after detecting the developmental stages and major landmarks followed, by linking them to their respective politico-religious settings and also guided by the chronological markers and contextual pointers that prove that link. My critical examination of al-Jähiz's political literature also aims at unveiling the ideological and political concerns of the `Abbäsid community and caliphate and evaluating al-Jähiz's role in the propagation and shaping of °Abbäsid politics. I have also tried to interpret and account for the phenomenon of the marriage between `history' and `contemporary politics' in al- Jahiz's time, and relate his hostile and tendentious anti-Umayyad position plus his views of the Shia to the growing pro-°Abbäsid historiographic activities, and his special brand of Ftizäl. V Much effort has been exerted to extract al-Jähiz's political formula and doctrine by distinguishing his quoted views from his own views. The thesis is also concerned with answering the following questions: What factors underly his pro- Alid and anti-W141 output and were they mutually irreconciliable? How do his pro- Alid writings fit in with his pro-`Abbäsidism and fondness for the charismatic Häshimi stock of Quraysh, what influence had this on his initial Basran (`Uthmäni) milieu and how much can be gained from the totality of his heresiographic scanning in understanding the formative period of Muslim sects? Were al-Jähiz's views constantly bound by the necessity to observe the fluctuating interests of the regime or were they capable of sidestepping those pressures? Were his views on Imäma more concerned with the criteria according to which rulership was acquired or with the manner in which it should be practised? A full literature review is given, with an outline of the method and guidelines followed, difficulties incurred and suggestions for further studies on al-Jähiz. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IV ABSTRACT OF THESIS V NOTE ON TRANSLITERATION VIII MAIN BODY OF TEXT: - General Outline of the Contents.

  • A Thousand and One Wives: Investigating the Intellectual History of the Exegesis of Verse Q 4:24
    A THOUSAND AND ONE WIVES: INVESTIGATING THE INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF THE EXEGESIS OF VERSE Q 4:24 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arabic and Islamic Studies By Roshan Iqbal, M.Phil. Washington, DC July 15, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Roshan Iqbal All Rights Reserved ii A THOUSAND AND ONE WIVES: INVESTIGATING THE INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF THE EXEGESIS OF VERSE Q 4:24 Roshan Iqbal, M.Phil. Thesis Adviser: Felicitas Opwis, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A Thousand and One Wives: Investigating the Intellectual History of the Exegesis of Verse 4:24 traces the intellectual legacy of the exegesis of Qur’an 4:24, which is used as the proof text for the permissibility of mut’a (temporary marriage). I ask if the use of verse 4.24 for the permissibility of mut’a marriage is justified within the rules and regulations of Qur’anic hermeneutics. I examine twenty Qur’an commentaries, the chronological span of which extends from the first extant commentary to the present day in three major Islamicate languages. I conclude that doctrinal self-identity, rather than strictly philological analyses, shaped the interpretation of this verse. As Western academia’s first comprehensive work concerning the intellectual history of mut’a marriage and sexual ethics, my work illustrates the power of sectarian influences in how scholars have interpreted verse 4:24. My dissertation is the only work in English that includes a plurality of voices from minor schools (Ibadi, Ashari, Zaidi, and Ismaili) largely neglected by Western scholars, alongside major schools, and draws from all available sub-genres of exegesis.

  • La Littérature Aux Marges Du ʾadab
    LA LITTÉRATURE AUX MARGES DU ʾADAB Sous la direction de Iyas Hassan La notion de ʾadab est très importante dès lors qu’on aborde le monde arabe dans sa période dite classique. Le terme est généralement traduit par « littérature », mais à l’origine il recouvre un sens plus large, davantage lié à un savoir-être courtois et urbain, LA LITTÉRATURE comprenant notamment la maîtrise de la prose par des auteurs AUX MARGES DU ʾADAB qui furent en premier lieu de hauts fonctionnaires œuvrant aussi bien à l’administration qu’aux domaines juridiques et religieux. Regards croisés sur la prose arabe classique C’est principalement leurs écrits narratifs ou ceux renvoyant à la morale et à l’éthique que la tradition académique a retenus comme étant le noyau dur à partir duquel se sont développés les canons du ʾadab. Mais qu’en est-il de la riche production qui existe en dehors de ces domaines ? ADAB ʾ Le présent ouvrage s’inscrit dans une nouvelle orientation des études arabes visant à redessiner les frontières du littéraire dans le domaine des sources arabes. Le parti pris est ainsi de s’intéresser DU aux écrits classiques dont on considère, à tort ou à raison, qu’ils ne relèvent pas de ce registre.

Khafidz Fuad Raya Institut Agama Islam Darullughah Wadda’wah Pasuruan, Jawa Timur, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract The history of Islamic education in the early 20th century led to various changes, especially the emergence of madrasas as an Islamic schooling system. Traditional Islamic educational institutions inevitably have to harmonise and open themselves to transformation, even though they initially experienced opposition. Using a qualitative approach with a narrative documentation method based on historical texts and observations in several Islamic educational institutions in Aceh, this article focuses on revealing the history of the dayah and meunasah as a traditional Acehnese Islamic educational institution that underwent some fundamental changes. The results found: First, the existence of the dayah is more long-term than the meunasah even though both forms of this institution are rooted in the same ideological principles with different patterns, seen from the early 20th century until implementing sharia law in Aceh after the Helsinki peace agreement, the dayah was still existed by maintaining its institutional form. Second, the emergence of madrasas as a formation of the government’s political policy on the social conditions of the people that occurred has provided space for traditional Islamic educational institutions (such as the dayah) to open themselves to including general subjects, although this second result has led to struggles; Third, there is a contestation between dayah, Islamic schools, and madrasas, with public schools driven by traditionalist and modernist groups in maintaining their existence.

  • Ibadi (And Secondarily the So-Called “Sufri”) Connections to the Early Umayyad Amirs of Spain Have Not Been Well Understood
    Project: Ibadi (and secondarily the so-called “Sufri”) connections to the early Umayyad Amirs of Spain have not been well understood. This paper re- examines Ibadi, Sufri and Spanish-Umayyad relations in order to prove that strong economic interests underlay the political ties that developed between these groups. The Ibadiyya are an Islamic sectarian group – related to the Kharijites – who controlled the Rustumid Empire, centered at Tahert (in present day Algeria), in the 2-3rd/8-9th centuries. The Sufriyya were likewise Kharijites who controlled a smaller Empire – the Midrarids – located in Sijilmassa (in present day Morocco). The research begins with the fairly well documented evidence for the political ties between Ibadis and Spanish Umayyads. This material remains interesting in and of itself for the simple fact that the Ibadiyya formed from the quietist Kharijites of Basra (around 720-740CE) and remained hostile to the Umayyad regime: when they had the capacity they frequently revolted against the Umayyads. In fact, the Akhbar Majmua describes the North African uprisings of the 740s CE as “Ibadi” or “Sufri” in inspiration; and these uprising spread to Spain. For this reason it is a bit surprising to find that only a few decades later – during the reign of the Umayyad Amir al-Hakam b. Hisham (al-Hakam I), a Rustumid named Muhammad b. Sa?id b. Muhammad b. ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Rustum - that is, the great-grandson of the founder of the Rustumids - became a confidant of ‘Abd al-Rahman II when he was prince in Medina-Sidonia (Shadhuna). Muhammad lived near Algeciras to be close to ‘Abd al-Rahman II, and when ‘Abd al-Rahman became the Amir, he brought Muhammad to Cordoba and employed him in the hijaba and the Wazirate.

  • Concept for Integrating Sharia Law Into Secular Law Systems وَجَاهِدُوا فِي َّللاهِ
    Concept for integrating Sharia law into secular law systems Presentation by Dr. Abdel Rahman Mihalffy REMARKS When we say the word Muslim I don’t think we comprehend the real and classical meaning of the word. Does anyone of you know who Muslim is? In English the one who bow to God with full submission. I collected here some of those Ayas from the Holy Quran where the word “Muslim” occurs. It will surprise you: 22. Surah: Al-Hajj, Pilgrimage ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِه َوَجاهُدوا في هَّللا َح هق جَهاده ُهَو ا ْجتََبا ُكْم َوَما َجَع َل َعَلْيُكْم في ال دي ِن م ْن َحَرٍج مل َة ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ن ِ أَبيُكْم إْبَارهيَم ُهَو َسهما ُكُم اْل ُم ْسلمي َن من َقْب ُل َوفي َهَذا لَيُكوَ الهرُسوُل َشهيًدا َعَلْيُكْم ِ ِ ه ِ ِ ِ َوتَُكوُنوا ُشَهَداء َعَلى الهناس َفأَقي ُموا ال هصََلةَ َوآتُوا الزَكاةَ َوا ْعتَص ُموا با هَّلل ُهَو َمْوََل ُكْم َفِنعم اْلموَلى وِنعم الهن ِصير ﴿٧٨﴾ ْ َ َْ َ ْ َ ُ 78. And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help! 2.
