    AN ANALYSIS OF THE EARLIEST ARAB HISTORICAL WRITERS ( Ibn Ishäg, Al-Tabarl and Al-Balädhurl ). MOHAMMADIAIQMAN DEPARTMENTOF ARABIC UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW Submitted for the degree of Ph. D. in the Faculty of Arts in the University of Glasgow December, 1981. i Acknowledimment. I an thankful to my supervisor, Dr. J. N. Mattock for the guidance of my research project on Arab Historiography. While correcting my errors he has always shown the kindness to forgive initial inadequacies. He is an able personality in the field of oriental sciences= creates hard principles for research students to discover new scientific points. He, indeed,, has an unparalleled place among philosophers. His continuous supervision has enabled me to produce the lengthy research project. In the past, in my estimationýno-one prior to Dr. J. N. Mattock has produced such remarkable research work on the Earliest Arab Historiographers. Worthy praise and credit-goes to ay supervisor, with whom I have been very happy -working during the whole period of research. I find him very kind and helpful to me. I pray to God, 0 he may live long ". In the circumstances of supporting myself, there have inevitably been financial problems and I would like to mention those who have helped me. Firstly, my thanks are due to Dr. Abdul Ghafur Muslim who has drawn my attention to research on Muslim Historians. I appreciate his help and encouragement in this field. I am grateful to Mr. N. H. Cheema, Mr. Saleea Akhtar and particularly to Mr. Nhushi MohammadAkhtar for his sponsoring letter to the British Home Office for financial support.

  • Psychology Mohammad
    PSYCHOLOGY of MOHAMMAD Author Dr. Massoud Ansari CONTENTS Preface Chapter One A Short Account of the Life of Mohammed, Founder of Islam Chapter Two The Koran: A Manual for Terrorism Chapter Three Absurdities of the Koran Chapter Four Astronomy of the koran Chapter Five Hadith, the Terrorist Manifesto of Islam Chapter Six Mohammed Orders Death to His Opponents Chapter Seven Were Mohammed’s Inspirations Genuine? Chapter Eight The Mendacious Strategies of Mohamed’s Prophethood Chapter Nine Exile and Massacre of the Jews from Medina Chapter Ten The Intimidating Character of the Koran Chapter Eleven Psychology of Mohammed Chapter Twelve Evaluation of Mohammed’s Personality in History PREFACE This book should be read almost as though it were a work of fiction. It deals with a religion and events in the life of a man who pretended to be a prophet, elements of both subjects being far from truth and reality. In other words, the contents of this book explain realities about unrealities. Mohammed through his book, the Koran, both tried very hard to make realities out of unrealities. He fabricated a preposterous metaphysical faith that, by its appeal to the baser instincts of pagan Bedouins, began on the Arabian Peninsula and then, by bloody conquest, spread throughout the Mid-East, northern Africa and even into Spain. If anyone should ask why more than one billion of the world’s population follows this absurd creed and accepts Mohammed as a prophet, I would refer them inter alia to the works of two distinguished scientists: Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene1 and Susan Blackmore, The Meme Machine.2 It is not the intention of the author to delve into the definition of religion because it would be impossible to find one that would be acceptable worldwide.

  • War in Islamic Law: Justifications and Regulations
    WAR IN ISLAMIC LAW: JUSTIFICATIONS AND REGULATIONS By Ahmed Mohsen Al-Dawoody A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham August 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This study examines the justifications and regulations for going to war in both international and domestic armed conflicts under Islamic law. It studies the various kinds of use of force by both state and non-state actors in order to determine the nature of the Islamic law of war, specifically, whether Islamic law sanctions “holy war”, offensive war or only defensive war. It discusses international armed conflicts, i.e., war against non-Muslims, in the first four chapters: Chapters One, Two and Three treat the justifications for war in the Sīrah (biographies of the Prophet) literature, Tafsīr (exegesis) literature, and classical and modern juridical literature respectively. Chapter Four treats the Islamic regulations for war in international armed conflicts.
