  • Boctor of $F)Ilos(Op})P I Jn M I I
    SUFI THOUGHT OF MUHIBBULLAH ALLAHABADI Abstract Thesis SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor of $f)ilos(op})p I Jn M I I MOHD. JAVED ANS^J. t^ Under the Supervision of Prof. MUHAMMAD YASIN MAZHAR SIDDiQUi DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2006 Abstract The seventeenth Century of Christian era occupies a unique place in the history of Indian mystical thought. It saw the two metaphysical concepts Wahdat-al Wujud (Unity of Being) and Wahdat-al Shuhud (Unity of manifestation) in the realm of Muslim theosophy and his conflict expressed itself in the formation of many religious groups, Zawiyas and Sufi orders on mystical and theosophical themes, brochures, treatises, poems, letters and general casuistically literature. The supporters of these two schools of thought were drawn from different strata of society. Sheikh Muhibbullah of Allahabad, Miyan Mir, Dara Shikoh, and Sarmad belonged to the Wahdat-al Wujud school of thought; Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi, Khawaja Muhammad Masum and Gulam Yahya belonged to the other school. Shaikh Abdul Haqq Muhaddith and Shaikh WalliuUah, both of Delhi sought to steer a middle course and strove to reconcile the conflicting opinions of the two schools. Shaikh Muhibbullah of Allahabad stands head and shoulder above all the persons who wrote in favour of Wahdat-al Wujud during this period. His coherent and systematic exposition of the intricate ideas of Wahdat- al Wujud won for him the appellation of Ibn-i-Arabi Thani (the second Ibn-i Arabi). Shaikh Muhibbullah AUahabadi was a prolific writer and a Sufi of high rapture of the 17* century.

  • Sectrarian Conflicts in Pakistan by Moonis Ahmar
    Sectrarian Conflicts in Pakistan Moonis Ahmar Abstract The history of sectarian conflict in Pakistan is as old as the existence of this country. Yet, the intensification of sectarian divide in Pakistan was observed during late 1970s and early 1980s because of domestic political changes and the implications of Islamic revolution in Iran and the subsequent adverse reaction in some Arab countries to the assumption of power by clergy operating from the holy city of Qum. The military regime of General Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq, which seized power on July 5, 1977 pursued a policy of ‘Islamization’ resulting into the deepening of sectarian divide between Sunnis and Shiiates on the one hand and among different Sunni groups on the other. This paper attempts to analytically examine the dynamics of sectarian conflict in Pakistan by responding to following issues: The background of sectarian divide in Pakistan and how sectarian polarization between the Sunni and Shitte communities impacted on state and society; the phenomenon of religious extremism and intolerance led to the emergence of sectarian violence in Pakistan; the state of Pakistan failed to curb sectarian conflict and polarization at the societal level promoted the forces of religious extremism; the role of external factors in augmenting sectarian divide in Pakistan and foreign forces got a free hand to launch their proxy war in Pakistan on sectarian grounds; and strategies should be formulated to deal with the challenge of sectarian violence in Pakistan. 2 Pakistan Vision Vol. 9, No.1 1. Introduction Sectarian issue in Pakistan is a major destabilizing factor in the country’s political, social, religious and security order.

Disengaging a militant from violence and extremist tendencies is an uphill task because of his or her ideological and political association with a cause. A number of countries have developed de- radicalization programs to deal with the issue but the extent of their success remains debatable, notwithstanding the claims made by the states. Rehabilitation of detained militants becomes an integral part of any such program as part of the prevention strategy. The prison holds crucial significance in the de-radicalization strategy as many of these programs— including those in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom—run in prisons.

  • Madariya Silsila in Bihar
    Madariya Silsila in Indian Perspective Ananda Bhattacharya Historiography and the source material The sources for the study of regional history can be examined independently by themselves or with reference to certain broad themes which are of major importance in the history of that area or period. In medieval Bihar the general and important aspect of the study of sufistic ideas had drawn the attention of Mughal chroniclers1, Revenue Surveyors2, Siyaq (Accountancy) literature and also hagiographic literature. The hagiographic literature can be divided into three broad categories (i) Tadhkira or biographical notices of saints, and (ii) Malfuzat, or collections of discourses of saints, and (iii) Maktubat or letters of the saints. Among these, the Malfuzat constitute the bulk and are by far the most important as they constitute a vast literature representing a chronologically arranged summary of the discourses of saints relating to different topics, or the answers given by the saints to questions asked by the disciples and others present in these meetings. Studies based on such data would add new depth to our understanding of social and cultural life of the sufis dominating medieval Bihar. The collections of letters, available in the form of Maktubat, are addressed to disciples and relate to doctrinal matters, prayers, rituals and provide authentic information on that specific subject. Sufi literature is too vast to be discussed even in bare outline here, but only a few of the more important may be mentioned in this context. Qeyamuddin Ahmad3 in one of his works simply mentioned the evolution of one of the Sufi silsila of the fourteenth century centering round two Sufi saints, namely, Ahmad Sharafuddin Yahya Maneri (c1263-1381) and Abdul Quddus Gangohi.
