Islam is the world’s second largest religion, affecting the lives of nearly 23% of its population. Post 9/11, there is a renewed interest in Islam. This book, A Handbook on Islam, aspires to satisfy that interest by offering introductory perspectives that engage with the percepts and practices of Islam. The significance of the book lies in serving as a primary source of reference for the understanding of the basic tenets of Islam, Islamic history, law and jurisprudence, as also concept of Islamic social injunctions. There is an effort to simplify complex concepts about Allah, angels, prophets, revealed books, Akhirah, Taqdeer, Islamic worships and rituals, as well as social obligations to parents, relatives, neighbors, society, and even animals. It also includes a brief life-sketch of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his close companions, as well as the collection and compilation of Qur’anic verses and traditions set by the Prophet of Islam. The last two chapters focus specially on Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) and Tasawwuf (Sufism) and give concise histories of their development. Perusal of this book will give readers a clear and basic overview of Islam. In reaching out to those who see Islam as a faith professed by compatriots, it is hoped that this book will satisfy their curiosity and sensitize them to the faith, philosophy and message of Almighty Allah. 6 A HANDBOOK ON ISLAM P a g e | 7 The author, Javed Akhatar, is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Islamic Studies, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India. He is a hard working student with an aptitude for research and analysis. A Handbook on Islam is ample evidence of a young research scholar who shows all signs of improving his academic skills with the time. I hope that this book will help him achieve academic recognition in this world and divine reward hereafter. Prof. Akhtarul Wasey Former Head, Department of Islamic Studies & Ex Director, Zakir Hussain Institute of Islamic Studies Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi, 2014 7 A HANDBOOK ON ISLAM P a g e | 8 PREFACE ‘A Handbook on Islam’ is an attempt to introduce Islam to general public and mainly undergrad students, who are studying Islamiat or Deenyat, and Islamic Studies. The aim is to fulfill the objectivity of students has been in my mind while writing this book. Though, this book is equally useful to every reader. This book is particularly very much close with the syllabus of Islamiat course of Jamia Millia Islamia and generally the other Islamic universities. In this book, I have almost given the English translation of every Arabic or non-English word. I have also tried to provide the reader with the accurate date and year of an event according to Roman calendar and sometimes Islamic calendar. However, keeping in mind, there might be some variations, even errors. Apart from it, I have also put an effort to make the book free from any unauthenticated statements. If so, the readers should point them out so they can be rectified in next editions. Now, I must express my gratitude to the people around and far away from me who, directly or indirectly, helped in the preparation of this book. Firstly, I bow down to Allah, Who ‘Taught me the use of pen and taught what i knew not’. I must thank my parents for giving me encouragement. Then my wife Iram Akhtar deserves all my thanks for her sacrifices and patience. The publishing of this might not have been possible without her encouragement and help. Now I also must mention the names of Prof. Akhtarul Wasey, Dr. Syed Shahid Ali, who helped me during the last hour and brought the book to a successful end. I am deeply grateful to their genuine concern and immense practical help. In the end I must be gracious again to Prof. Akhtarul Wasey to write the foreword which has glorified this book. Javed Akhatar Senior Research Scholar Department of Islamic Studies Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, 2014 8 A HANDBOOK ON ISLAM P a g e | 9 CHAPTER 1 BELIEFS AND PRACTICES: INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES ISLAM Islam may be described as the religion of - A. Beliefs and B. Practices It means: Iman (beliefs) + Amal (practices or right action) = A true believer A. Beliefs Islam begins with belief and the Arabic word for it is “Iman”. It literally means to know or to put one’s trust in someone or something. It is extremely essential for a Muslim to have belief. If one wants to be a true believer, he must not only testify his belief by pronouncing it but also by adhering to it. He has to be convinced beyond the least shadow of doubt. The relation of Islam to belief is the same as of a tree to its seed. As a tree cannot sprout without its seed similarly, it is not possible for a man to become a Muslim who has no belief to start with. Therefore, it is clear that without belief and right action no man can be a true Muslim. Where there is no belief there is no Islam. From the view point of belief, men may be classified into four categories: 9 A HANDBOOK ON ISLAM P a g e | 10 i. Those who have firm belief. ii. Those who do have belief but, their belief is not deep and strong. iii. Those who do not possess belief at all but do right actions. iv. Those who neither possess belief nor do right actions. Once the Angel Jibril came to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and asked1 “What are the beliefs in Islam?” Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) replied: “The beliefs in Islam are to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His prophets, The Resurrection Day, and to believe in the Predestination.” Therefore, there are six beliefs in Islam and these are also called the “Articles of Faith”. The denial of any one of beliefs or part of it, renders a man unbeliever. i. Tauheed (Oneness of Allah) ii. Malaikah (Angels) iii. Risalah (Prophethood) iv. Kutub-e-Samaviyah (Revealed Books) v. Akhirah (Life Hereafter) vi. Taqdeer (Predestination) 1 So that the people would hear the answer. 10 A HANDBOOK ON ISLAM P a g e | 11 Tauheed Islam believes in Tauheed and it is the spirit of Islam.

  • The Life of Imam Muhammad Al Jawad
    Chapter 1 Dedication To the inspiring mind that has encouraged scientific and in- tellectual life on the earth, To the creative intellect that has initiated revival and cre- ation for Muslims, To the great Imam, Ja’far as-Sadiq, peace be upon him, I offer, with humbleness and reverence, this work, in which I have received the honor of researching the biography of his grandson Imam Muhammad al-Jawad, the miracle of intellect and knowledge in Islam, hoping it will be accepted… 2 Chapter 2 Introduction One of the most wonderful pictures of intellect and know- ledge in Islam is Imam Abu Ja’far Muhammad al-Jawad (a.s), who possessed the virtues and nobilities of the world, made springs of wisdom and knowledge flow in the earth and was the teacher and pioneer of the scientific and cultural revival of his age. Scholars, jurisprudents, narrators of traditions and learners of wisdom and sciences came to him to drink from the pure fount of his sciences and cultures. Jurisprudents have re- ported much from him concerning the verdicts of the Islamic Sharia, worships, mu’amalat[1] and other branches of jurispru- dence, and all have been recorded in the encyclopedias of jur- isprudence and Hadith. This great Imam was one of the founders of the jurispru- dence of the Ahlul Bayt[2] (a.s) that represented creation, ori- ginality and progress of intellect. [1] Ritual observances, social customs and ethical rules. [2] Ahlul Bayt is a term referring to the honored family of the Prophet (s), namely his daughter Fatima, Imam Ali, Imam Has- an, Imam Husayn and the other nine infallible imams descend- ing from Imam Husayn (peace be upon them all).

  • Making Sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: a Social Movement Perspective
    \ WORKING PAPER 6\ 2017 Making sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: A social movement perspective Katja Mielke \ BICC Nick Miszak \ TLO Joint publication by \ WORKING PAPER 6 \ 2017 MAKING SENSE OF DAESH IN AFGHANISTAN: A SOCIAL MOVEMENT PERSPECTIVE \ K. MIELKE & N. MISZAK SUMMARY So-called Islamic State (IS or Daesh) in Iraq and Syria is widely interpreted as a terrorist phenomenon. The proclamation in late January 2015 of a Wilayat Kho- rasan, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan, as an IS branch is commonly interpreted as a manifestation of Daesh's global ambition to erect an Islamic caliphate. Its expansion implies hierarchical order, command structures and financial flows as well as a transnational mobility of fighters, arms and recruits between Syria and Iraq, on the one hand, and Afghanistan–Pakistan, on the other. In this Working Paper, we take a (new) social movement perspective to investigate the processes and underlying dynamics of Daesh’s emergence in different parts of the country. By employing social movement concepts, such as opportunity structures, coalition-building, resource mobilization and framing, we disentangle the different types of resource mobilization and long-term conflicts that have merged into the phenomenon of Daesh in Afghanistan. In dialogue with other approaches to terrorism studies as well as peace, civil war and security studies, our analysis focuses on relations and interactions among various actors in the Afghan-Pakistan region and their translocal networks. The insight builds on a ten-month fieldwork-based research project conducted in four regions—east, west, north-east and north Afghanistan—during 2016. We find that Daesh in Afghanistan is a context-specific phenomenon that manifests differently in the various regions across the country and is embedded in a long- term transformation of the religious, cultural and political landscape in the cross-border region of Afghanistan–Pakistan.

For nearly two centuries, i.e. 17th & 18th, it was the principal spiritual order in India and its influence permeated far and deep into Indo-Mus- lim life. Though many Naqshbandi saints came to India and associated themselves with the royal courts of Emperor Babur, Humayun and Akbar. The credit of really organizing and propagating the Naqshbandi silsila in this country goes to Khwaja Muhammad Baqi Billah, who came to India from Kabul, his native town, and his disciple, khalifa and the chief successor Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi known as “Mujad- did-i Alf-i Sani. He played most important role in disseminating the ideology and practices of the Naqshbandi silsilah in India. He was the first Muslim Sufi scholar of the Indian sub-continent whose thought and movement reached far beyond the Indian frontiers and influenced Muslim scholars and saints in different regions. His spiritual descendants (khalifas) zealously participated in the organization of the “Naqshbandi-Mujaddidi” silsilah in India, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Turkey, Arabia, Egypt, Morocco and Indonesia.

This paper is a work in progress and has not been submitted for editorial review. “Islamic Finance” after State-Sponsored Capitalist-Islamism Mahmoud A. El-Gamal Rice University December 2017 Abstract During the late part of the nineteenth century CE, nationalist-Islamism emerged as a theology of liberation from the realities of European colonialism under which most Muslims lived. This form of Islamism survived into the mid twentieth century, without significant thought being lent to the possibility or desirability of a so-called “Islamic finance.” Indeed, juristic developments during this period justified conventional financial practices, and many nationalist movements aimed merely to replace European financial institutions with indigenous ones focused on boosting domestic and re- gional economic development. Shortly after independence, and under the influence of global currents, the liberation theology of nationalist-Islamism mutated into a socialist-Islamism that focused on self reliance to defeat poverty and continued economic dependence of Muslim-majority countries.

Malik said, "No-one should carry the Qur'an by its strap, or on a cushion, unless he is pure. If it were permissible to do so, it would also have been permissible to carry it in its cover. This is not because there is something on the hands of the one who carries it by which the Qur'an will be soiled, but because it is disapproved of for someone to carry the Qur'an without being pure out of respect for the Qur'an, and in order to honour it." Malik said, "The best thing that I have heard about this is the ayat 'None touch it except the purified.' (Sura 56 ayat 79) It ranks with the ayat in Surat Abasa (Sura 80), where Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says, 'No, it is a reminder, and whoever wishes will remember it.
