They faced many difficulties and suffered severe hardships in their efforts to call their erring people to obey and worship the One God, Allah. This book is the last in a series of stories About these Prophets. It portrays a vivid picture of the life and times of Muhammad, the last Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It has been written in a style attractive to young people by the renowned Islamic scholar Maulana Sayyed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi, one of the greatest living authorities on Islam, whose works provide material for the text books used in schools and colleges throughout the Arab and Muslim world. This translation has been prepared especially for young English-speaking Muslims who wish to benefit from the scholarship usually found in Arabic or Urdu publications. MUHAMMAD, the Last Prophet is based on the Holy Qur'an and contemporary accounts of events taking place during that period. It offers an authentic account of the early call to Islam, the impact of which is still reverberating around world. 5 It is hoped that the reader will appreciate this opportunity to examine Islam from a historical perspective and to understand why it remains so relevant to life today. My thanks are due to Sis. Aisha Bewley, Sis. Umm Ayman, my daughters Su'ad, Shifa' and my other children for their help in producing this book. May Allah accept this effort and make it a source of inspiration and guidance for all. Leicester, England Iqbal Ahmad Azami Rabi' al-Awwal 1414 A.H. August 1993 6 Preface Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds and peace be upon the exalted Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad, and upon all his family and Companions and those who follow them with sincerity until the Day of Judgement. No words can express the praise and gratitude I owe to Allah Almighty or describe my happiness as I write this preface to the last book in the series Stories of the Prophets. Allah has prolonged my life and blessed me with success in completing this book devoted to the life of the last Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). A period of thirty years lapsed between writing the story of the Prophet Musa (peace and blessings be upon him) and the section which begins with the story of the Prophet Shu'ayb and ends with the story of the Prophet 'Isa ibn Maryam (peace and blessings be upon them). No one can be certain of continued life and it wa5 only through Divine kindness and favour that I was able to write About the life of the Prophet specifically for children. Having dedicated myself to the task of writing this book I managed to finish it in a short time. Then I began a definitive work on the life of the Prophet. This small book formed the basis for the larger book, completeO at the beginning of Shawwal 1396 A.H. produced by Dar ash-Shuruq in Jeddah under the title, as-Sirah an-Nabawiyyah and published in Cairo in Rabi'al-Awwal, 1398 A.H. (April 1977 CE.). It has also been translated into English and published by The Academy of Islamic Research & Publications, Lucknow, India, entitled Muhammad, Rasulullah). 7 I have based my work on a summary of as-Sirah an-Nabawiyyah by Ibn Hisham, one of the oldest books on the life of the Prophet still in existence. It has had a great effect on the hearts and souls of generations of believers. I· have also relied on ancient Sirah sources and the celebrated books of as-Sihah in hadith. As I. did not set out to write an academic treatise I have refrained from constantly specifying my sources. The book has been written for enthusiastic young people, not for university scholarship, so references are confined to texts and variants. My large and compre- hensive book on the Sirah will meet their needs for theological arguments and contemporary studies. By the power of Almighty Allah, this present work comes if! between the Sirah written for adults and the books published for children. It can be studied by adolescents or read by non-academics, in their madrasahs, libraries and homes. It will also be useful to non-Muslims and can be translated into other languages. It contains the core and summary of the Sirah, the wonders and facts of various events, the background to the Islamic call, and the conquests and victories associated with it. Abuve all, this book will provide the student with a welcome environment in which he or she will find guidance to last a lifetime. It provides-the light to illuminate the pathway, the spiritual weapons needed for defence against secularism and satanic influences and the message to carry into the future. Finally, I. praise Allah for the successful conclusion of this work. I thank Him for His gifts and blessings and I ask Him to accept my efforts. 8 I pray that this book will help the Muslim youth of today to overcome the thorny thickets which obstruct their path. Allah is the One who guides to the right path whomever He wants. Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi 9 10 The Age of Ignorance Ancient religions After the Prophet of Allah, 'Isa ibn Maryam, there was a long period without a Prophet. Light and knowledge disappeared. Christianity fell into disrepute and became a matter of sport for the corrupt and the hypocrites. From the very beginning, Christianity had been subjected to alterations by extremists and to interpretations by the ignorant. The simple teaching of the Messiah was buried beneath the transgressors' evil behaviour. The Jews had become a society obsessed with rites and rules lacking all life and spirit. Apart from that, Judaism, a tribal religion, did not carry a message to the world nor a summons to other nations nor, mercy to humanity at large. The Magians were devoted to fire-worship. They built altars and shrines to fire. Outside the shrines they followed their own pursuits. Eventually, no difference whatever could be discerned between the Magians and those with no religion or morality. Buddhism, a religion widespread in India and Central Asia, was transformed into outright paganism. Altars were built and images of the Buddha set up wherever it went. Hinduism, the basic religion of India, is distinguished by its millions of idols and gods, and-by 11 the unjust separation that exists between its castes, discrimination between the castes being a harsh reality of daily life. The Arabs also suffered from a paganism and idol-worship of the most abhorrent kind that had no parallel, even in pagan Hindu India. They were involved shirk and adopted gods other than Allah. Every tribe, region or city had a particular idol. Indeed, every house had a private idol. Inside the Ka'bah, the house which Ibrahim (peace be upon him)1 had built for the worship of Allah alone, and in its courtyard, stood three hundred and sixty idols. The Arabian Peninsula The morals of the Arabs were corrupted and they were obsessed with drinking and gambling. Their cruelty and so-called zeal reached the point where they buried baby girls alive. Raiding was widespread as well as highway robbery against trading caravans. The position of women in society was so low that they could be inherited like property or animals. Children

Takarli, R. Mahmoudi, S.Tellai, D.Chadli Centre des Techniques Spatiales Arzew Oran Algeria - [email protected] KEY WORDS: 3D modelling, terrestrial photogrammetry, camera calibration, accuracy ABSTRACT: Studies on the architectural heritage can now be supported by three-dimensional reconstruction of actual buildings. The 3D digital model can be an effective medium for documenting the current state of historic buildings but also to create a resource for researchers who conduct their analysis on historical evolution. Architectural photogrammetry has its own specifications in relation to other photogrammetric applications, however it meets these expectations. The traditional approach requires the use of metric cameras but with the development of computational techniques, this requirement is overcome and opens the way for the use of non-metric camera. The use of the shots that is no longer restricted to the parallel configuration of bundles, the images may be convergent, horizontal or oblique. Combining and modelling several cameras increasingly powerful in resolution and stability, has great scope and the same workflow can be used in varied applications. ISPRS and ICOMOS created CIPA because they both believe that a monument can be restored and protected only when it has been fully measured and documented and when its development has been documented several times, i.e. monitored, also with respect to its environment, and stored in proper heritage information and management systems.

    The Role Of The Women In Fighting The Enemies [Please note: Images may have been removed from this document. Page numbers have been added.] By the martyred Shaykh, Al-Hafith Yusuf Bin Salih Al-‘Uyayri (May Allah have Mercy upon him) Introduction In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful Verily all praise is due to Allah, and may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family and all of his companions. To proceed: My honoured sister, Indeed for you is an important and great role; and you must rise and fulfill your obligatory role in Islam 's confrontation of the new Crusade being waged by all the countries of the world against Islam and the Muslims. I will address you in these papers, and I will prolong this address due only to the importance of the topic; [a topic] that is in need of double these papers. So listen, may Allah protect and preserve you. The Muslim Ummah today is suffering from types of disgrace and humiliation that cannot be enumerated; [disgrace and humiliation] that it was not familiar with in its previous eras, and were never as widespread as they are today. And this disgrace and humiliation is not a result of the smallness of the Islamic Ummah or its poverty - it is counted as the largest Ummah today, just as it is the only Ummah that possesses the riches and elements that its enemies do not possess. And the question that presents itself is: what is the reason for this disgrace and humiliation that the Ummah suffers from today, when it is not in need of money or men? We say that

  • 2. Birth of the Prophet
    On the Path of the Beloved The Birth of the Prophet In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Ever-Merciful. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet . This is the second day of Ramadan. How are you feeling? Are you still enthusiastic? Always keep in mind the six merits of fasting Ramadan, so that when you feel your strength is letting you down, these can lift your spirits up: 1- Forgiveness of your sins. 2- Escaping Hellfire. 3- A treasure of good deeds (multiply every good deed by 70). 4- The prayer of a fasting person, at the time of breaking the fast, is answered. 5- “The Night of Determination ‘ Al Qadr’ is better than a thousand months” ( 97:3), and we have to prepare for it as of today. 6- Allah’s delight with his fasting subjects. We have agreed on our motto: “I will worship Allah, like I have never done before.” We have also put a table containing six points that the Prophet used to maintain in Ramadan, and we have said that women will be in charge of preparing the table and passing it to their men. These points were: 1- Praying the five daily prayers ‘jamaa’, (in congregation). 2- Observing and maintaining family ties. 3- Daily charity. 4- A special daily prayer, specifically to be saved from Hellfire and to instigate the revival of our nation. 5- Reading the entire Qur’an. 6- Do at least one positive action every day (like guiding someone to the straight path or any other action of some benefit to society).

  • Religious and Social Leadership As the Tribesmen of Arabia, the Jews Of
    CHAPTER ONE RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL LEADERSHIP As the tribesmen of Arabia, the Jews of Medina drew their leadership from the more dominant clans among them. Their community leaders were judges, military commanders, and those who ruled on halakhic matters. A study of “the occasions of revelation” (asbāb al-nuzūl) in Islamic literature reveals that the Jewish leaders in Medina often provoked Muḥammad with questions on religious issues. As a result, they were referred to as the “people of the question” (aṣḥāb al-masʾala).1 A reflection of the numer- ous questions that the Jewish sages in Medina asked Muḥammad exists in the following saying, which indirectly presents the Jews as a trigger for the revelation of many verses of the Qurʾān: “[Much of] the Qurʾān was revealed because of the questions they (i.e., the Jewish leaders in Medina) posed to him (i.e., Muḥammad)” (kāna al-Qurʾān yanzilu fīhim fīmā yasʾalūna ʿanhu).2 1. The Leaders of the Jewish Tribes of Medina ʿAbd al-Malik b. Hishām (d. 833 CE) records a list of the Medinan Jew- ish leaders of every Jewish tribe in Medina.3 Many of these leaders are reported to have been killed during the Muslim-Jewish conflicts in Med- ina and Khaybar. The leaders of the strongest Jewish tribe in Medina, the Banū al-Naḍīr, were the brothers from the Abū al-Ḥuqayq family: Sallām, the richest merchant in the Ḥijāz, and al-Rabīʿ together with the three brothers from the Banū Akhṭab family: Ḥuyayy, Judayy and Abū Yāsir. In 625 CE, after the Banū al-Naḍīr surrendered to the Muslims, these two families along with others, moved to Khaybar where their relatives lived.

The author uses the theory of interpretation because this theory aims to produce an understanding of a text in contemporary situations. The results of this research are that Israiliyat mauquf can be used as source of interpretation because it has positive impact in relation to aspect of religion of samawi Keywords: Israiliyat, mauquf, contemporary exegesis Introduction The text of the Qur'an that is global (mujmal) makes the Qur'an has a uniqueness and advantages compared with the other religious texts before, such as the Torah of the Jewish scriptures and the Gospel of the Christian scriptures. Because of its global nature, interacting with the other religion texts is a necessity, without interaction with the other religious texts so the Qur'an is less able to catch its meaning, especially related to the story of long time ago. Interaction, according to the author is the effort to interact the Samawi Religion that has the same source, namely Allah swt. It is not a lack let alone the weakness of the Qur'an, as the opinion of some Western scholars like Abraham Geiger, who claimed that Muhammad had adopted the Hebrew words into the Qur'an and the Qur'an has been much influenced by Jews religion (including in his interpretation), related to faith, doctrine, morals and the story of the Qur'an (Armas, 2002: 25).
