AL-RAJ'ah Introduction So Far, Many Scholars and Philosophers Have
1 AL-RAJ‘AH Al-Raj‘ah By Mohammad Pakdin * Introduction So far, many scholars and Philosophers have tried to unveil the mystery of the Second Coming (al-raj‘ah) of the deceased Imams and raised many ideas and theories pertaining to the possibility their resurrection and its nature. In the history of human beings bodily resurrection has drawn the attention of both philosophers and religious scholars. Due to its key role in proving resurrection on the Day of Judgment I intend to conduct an investigation on the reality as well as the quality of resurrection and al-raj‘ah, which is an Islamic term for ‘the return of the deceased’. In Christianity, resurrection refers to the resurrection of Jesus Christ as well as resurrection in the Day of Judgment. When addressing resurrection on the Day of Judgment, Christians merely recognize and discuss bodily resurrection. A cursory glance at * MA student at International Institute for Islamic studies, Date of Compilation: 2011 Islamic resources shows that resurrection is an essential principle within the Islamic doctrine. Resurrection, in Islamic terminology, entails both the resurrection of the 2 Day of Judgment, also known as “ma‘ād”, as well as the resurrection of Imams, Jesus Christ and a few other individuals prior to the Day of Judgment, which referred Al-Raj‘ah to as “Al-raj’ah”. Shiite Scholars strongly hold the idea of resurrection of the infallible Imams and consider it as one the focal point in Shiite beliefs. Since al-raj’ah is a form of bodily resurrection that takes place in this world, I have decided to concentrate on this topic by accumulating scattered elements of the phenomenon of resurrection according to both Islamic and western Philosophy. -
Ideological Background of Rationality in Islam
31 Al-Hikmat Volume 28 (2008), pp. 31-56 THE IDEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF RATIONALITY IN ISLAM MALIK MUHAMMAD TARIQ* Abstract. Islam the religion of Muslims, founded on Qu’rānic revelations transmitted through the Prophet Muhammad (570-632 AD). The Arabic roots slm, convey the ideas of safety, obedience, submission, commitment, and dedication. The word Islam signifies the self-surrender to Allah that characterizes a Muslim’s relation- ship with God. Islamic tradition records that in 610 and 632 CE Prophet Muhammad began to receive revelations from God through the mediation of Angel Gabriel. The revelations were memorized and recorded word by word, and are today found in Arabic text of the Qur’ān in the precisely the manner God intended.1 The community, working on the basis of pieces of text written ‘on palm leaves or flat stones or in the heart of men’, compiled the text some thirty years after the death of Prophet Muhammad.2 All the Muslims assert unequivocally the divine authorship of the Qur’ān, Muhammad is but the messenger through which it was revealed. Theoretically, the Qur’ān is the primary source of guidance in the Islamic community (Ummah). The Qur’ān text does not, however, provide solutions for every specific problem that might arise. To determine norm of practice, Muslims turned to the lives of Prophet Muhammad and his early companions, preserved in Sunnah, the living tradition of the community. Originally the practicing of Sunnah varied from place to place, reflecting the pre-Islamic local customs of particular region. By the 9th century, however, the diversity evident in local traditions was branded as an innovation (bid’a). -
Classical Islamic Discourse on the Origins of Language: Cultural Memory and the Defense of Orthodoxy
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online Numen 58 (2011) 314–343 brill.nl/nu Classical Islamic Discourse on the Origins of Language: Cultural Memory and the Defense of Orthodoxy Mustafa Shah School of Oriental and African Studies, London University Russell Square, London WC1H OXG England [email protected] Abstract Classical Islamic scholarship developed two principal theses on the subject of the ori- gin of language (asḷ al-lugha). The first of these theses, commonly referred to astawqīf , accentuated the pre-eminent role that divine agency played in the imposition of lan- guage; axiomatic within this perspective is the view that words (lafz ̣ pl. alfāz)̣ have been assigned their meanings (maʿnā pl. maʿānī) primordially by God. Presented as something of an antithesis to this position, the second doctrine, labeled isṭ ilāḥ ,̣ predi- cates that language was established and evolved via a process of common convention and agreement: words together with their meanings were assigned by human beings, although both the doctrines of tawqīf and isṭ ilāḥ ̣ posit that the actual relationship between words and their assigned meanings remains entirely arbitrary, rejecting any sort of natural link between the two. Although later Islamic scholarship accepted that both theses were plausible, within the course of the 9th/10th centuries opinions on the subject were ostensibly polarized between orthodox and arch-rationalist camps with the former endorsing tawqīf and the latter isṭ ilāḥ .̣ In the quest to achieve a conceptual defense of traditional arguments for tawqīf it was necessary for orthodox theologians to create a connective structure, as articulated through reference to remembrance, continuation, and identity, which enabled them to anchor the construct of tawqīf in a formalized way to the scriptural exegesis and emblems of orthodoxy associated with the pious ancestors. -
Aliran Al-Mujbirah Dan Kesan Pemikirannya Di Malaysia
ALIRAN AL-MUJBIRAH DAN KESAN PEMIKIRANNYA DI MALAYSIA Oleh: Wan Z. Kamaruddin bin Wan Ali Abstract This article is an attempt to elaborate the development of al- Mujbirah as one of the earliest Muslim sects and also to analyse the influences and impacts of al-Jabariyyah in the Muslim world and in Malaysia. PENDAHULUAN Aliran al-Jabariyyah, al-Jabriyyah1 atau al-Mujbirah2 merupakan salah sebuah aliran pemikiran yang terawal dalam sejarah perkembangan pemikiran Islam. la merupakan aliran yang menjadi lawan dan saingan kepada aliran al-Qadariyyah. Walaupun aliran al-Jabariyyah telah hilang, namun pengaruh dan kesan pemikirannya masih wujud dan berkekalan dalam pemikiran umat Islam pada masa kini. Aliran al-Jabariyyah muncul pada akhir zaman pemerintahan Bani Umayyah sebagai hasil daripada persoalan agama yang berkaitrapat dengan siyasah Islam (sistem politik Islam) iaitu persoalan kepemimpinan (Imamah atau Khildfah). Nama al-Jabariyyah adalah berasal daripada perkataan al-jabr. Dari segi bahasa, perkataan al-jabr bermaksud terpaksa atau tiada kehendak dan kebebasan. Oleh itu, nama al-Jabariyyah adalah berakar umbi kepada perkataan itu yang berkait rapat pula dengan perbuatan manusia (af'dl al- 'ibdd) dan hubungannya dengan perbuatan Allah (afdl Allah). Ini kerana umumnya mereka berpendapat Allah adalah Pencipta segala makhluk- Nya termasuklah manusia dan perbuatan-perbuatannya, dan manusia dikatakan tidak mempunyai kehendak dan kebebasan dalam melakukan perbuatannya sama ada sengaja atau sebaliknya. Ringkasnya, manusia dikatakan dipaksa oleh Allah dalam setiap perbuatan. 1 A.K. Kazi dan J.G.Flynn, "The Jabarites and the Sifatiyya," dim.

Asharism and Atheism- a Glimpse Into Two Parallel Ideologies

It may be funny, but it has a great element of tragedy in that those who follow the Ash’ari school of thought, who claim to be the followers of rationalism, simply do not see the rationale and conclusive ramifications of what their school of thought leads to. Whenever the theological topics concerning “limit” and or “place” for Allah comes up, the two heated sides are usually the salafis who are labeled as the anthropomorphists versus the Ash’aris (and we can add the Maturidis) and who are labelled the “Jahmis”. However, what many from Ahlu-Sunnah among the salafis/ahlul-hadeeth have been slightly unaware of, is that the polemic is much graver than simply the kalaam arguments for “limit”, “jism”, and “place” respectively. Little will they realize that discussion on each one of these topics are actually connected to the topic of ilhaad (atheism) and that the formulated doctrines of the later day Ash’aris is nothing less than an institutionalized form of atheism. We will, in this endeavor, highlight Athari Imaams who have either explicitly stated this fact or who have implied this fact. -

Online Islamic Da'wah Narratives in the UK: the Case of Iera

ABSTRACT This thesis is an in-depth study into two of the UK charity iERA's da'wah narratives: the Qura'nic embryology 'miracle' and the Kalam Cosmological Argument. While the embryo verses have received scholarly attention, there is little to no research in the da'wah context for both narratives. Berger and Luckmann's social constructionism was applied to both, which were problematic. It was found that iERA constructed its exegesis of the embryo verses by expanding on classical meanings to show harmony with modern science. Additionally, it developed the Cosmological Argument by adapting it to Salafi Islamic beliefs. The construction processes were found to be influenced by an online dialectic between iERA and its Muslim and atheist detractors, causing it to abandon the scientific miracles and modify the Cosmological Argument. -

Majid Majidi and Baran: Iranian Cinematic Poetics and the Spiritual Poverty of Rumi Abstract Over the past several decades, Iranian Cinema, through the use of themes and stories, shots and pacing, has developed a narrative style outside of Western-dominated cinematic forms. The work of Iranian director Majid Majidi reflects some of the many themes of Sufi poetry. In particular, Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī’s poetry characteristically and repeatedly expresses the beauty of the spiritual poverty that results in the struggle with the nafs, or the lower soul. Through the lens of the work of Rumi on spiritual poverty, this article shows how the themes and filmic techniques used by Majidi in the 2000 film Baran reveal a rich and compelling narrative of cinema. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol15/iss2/4 Pittman: Majid Majidi and Baran: Iranian Cinematic Poetics Iranian Cinema has developed a thriving, compelling poetics of film in the past few decades – and this new cinema of Iran has been frequently cited to have begun with the 1969 Mehrjuri film The Cow (Gav). -
