K. 1'KESS, VKl'EBV, MADRAS 1911 PREFACE THIS book embodies the substance of the lectures which I deli- for the vered in the University of Calcutta, as Tagore Professor there should have been so year 1907, and I greatly regret that to in the much delay, due to reasons altogether personal myself, publication of the book. and its The first Chapter is intended to be introductory, reference to usefulness will, I trust, be apparent, especially with XI to XII. I to mention the topics discussed in Chapters ought I derived that, in writing the earlier portion of the first Chapter, excellent treatise on valuable suggestions from Mr. Macdonald's Muhammadan Theology. ' ' or the Chapters II to V contain an exposition of Al-Usul Science of Law, as developed by the Muhammadan jurists be- centuries of the Christian tween the eighth and the fourteenth a translation Era. Much of this part of the book is practically of Sadru'sh-Shari'at's 'Taudih' which was written sometime in the fourteenth century and is recognized as a standard work on which I have the subject. The other writings on Usul largely ' is consulted are Taftdzdnis" Talwih ', which a commentary on ' ' 1 ' and its Kash- Taudih ', Fakhru'l-Isldm's Al-Usul commentary ' and its com- fn'1-Israr', Musullumu'th-Thabut ', by Muhibbullah and ' Tahbir mentaries by Bahrul Ulum others, Attaqrir-wa't ', ' Mullah Jiwan ' Jam'u'l- by Ibn Hammam, Nuru'l-Anwar ', by ; Subki with its Al-M&halli Jaw&mi' ', by Tajuddin commentary by ' ' ' ' and the gloss known as Al-Ayatu'l-Bayyin&t and Al-Mukhtasar by Ibn Hajib with Q&di Udud's commentary thereon. In writing the remaining chapters I have not had the same did think fit invaluable help of these eminent jurists, who not of the dealt to pursue their investigations beyond the limits topics to I have with in Chapters II to V. In Chapters VI XII, theories and ideas on endeavoured to explain the fundamental legal PREFACE which the different departments of the Muhammadan system are based and to set forth the important principles which impart to the Muhammadan legal code, under its several heads, its peculiar features. These theories and principles are to be found inter- in spersed such authoritative works on Muhammadan law as the ' ' 'Hedaya', the Sharhu'l-Viqaya and others and also in the various treatises on Usul, already mentioned. It is always difficult to know where one should exactly draw the line in referring to the rules of law in illustrating the general legal ideas and rela- tions which form the proper province of jurisprudence, and it will be seen that I have referred to such rules in somewhat profuse detail. reasons for so My doing were two-fold; in the first place, the I have had to jurisprudence deal with relates to one particular and in the system, second place, the Muhammadan law is so seldom read with care that I felt I any should not be justified in on the counting possession of that quantum of knowledge of its rules which is for the necessary purpose of following the dis- cussions of the on jurists, the part of the ordinary student for whose benefit the Tagore Lectures were primarily instituted.

  • Maulana Muhammad Abdur Rahim's (1918- 1987) Discourse on Secularism
    MAULANA MUHAMMAD ABDUR RAHIM'S (1918- 1987) DISCOURSE ON SECULARISM BY FAROQUE AMIN A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Heritage (U~ul al-Din and Comparative Religion) Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences International Islamic University Malaysia NOVEMBER2010 ABSTRACT The present research examines the contribution of Maulana Muhammad Abdur Rahim (1918-1987) in the development of Islamic thought in Bangladesh through his intellectual and socio-political activities. The core discussion is evolved around his discourse on Secularism; the doctrine that gained wide acceptance among the Bangladeshi Muslim society in the post-independence period. This study is based on the investigation of Abdur Rahim's life and his intellectual legacy. Abdur Rahim's theoretical discourse on Secularism is primarily found in two of his books; Philosophical Foundation of the Western Civilization and Contemporary Thoughts. The Research predominantly adopts a textual analysis method to examine both the primary (i.e. Abdur Rahim's writings) and secondary sources which deal with the issue. This study attempts·to understand the methodological initiatives he set in place while introducing Secularism from Islamic perspectives. The research finds that he considers Secularism as the major outcome of the European Renaissance and an umbrella doctrine for some major ideologies. He develops a conceptual framework of studying Secularism by considering it as the source of three significant thoughts; Theory of Evolution, Psychoanalysis Theory of Freud and Marxism. According to him, Secularism and the above mentioned three ideologies are interdependent in nature. Abdur Rahim stated that, early Secularism resembled the idea of separation of political and religious affairs, whereas the modem Secularism expresses a denial of the religion.

  • Iqbal and Jinnah: an Amalgamation of Thought and Real Politics
    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 32, No. 2, July – December 2017, pp.505 – 521 Iqbal and Jinnah: An Amalgamation of Thought and Real Politics Farooq Ahmad Dar Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Muhammad Iqbal and Mohammad Ali Jinnah are normally credited as the founding fathers of Pakistan. Both of them, to begin with, were the supporters of Indian nationalism and later, due to their political and social experiences they emerged as the champions of the idea of Muslim nationalism in South Asia. Two of them had very little interaction with each other yet the partnership between the two had left a great impact on the history of this region. In late 1920s Iqbal and Jinnah supported two different groups of Muslim League. However, in 1930s they realized that actually they were trying to reach the same destination by following separate paths. Eventually they developed a relationship based on trust and respect. Iqbal played a major role in the making of Jinnah as the leader of Pakistan movement. It was the combination of Iqbal’s philosophical mind and Jinnah’s statesmanship which ultimately resulted in the creation of a nation state, Pakistan. Key Words: Iqbal, Jinnah, Muslim Nationalism, Muslim League, Punjab Politics No mention of the history of Pakistan Movement is complete without incorporating the vision of Muhammad Iqbal, the poet-philosopher, and political and legal acumen of the statesman, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Both of them enjoy undisputed respect and special position in the discourse of the Muslim Nationalist Historiography in South Asia, which revolves around the opinion that Iqbal conceived the idea of Pakistan and Jinnah converted the idea into a practical reality.

  • AK Fazlul Huq's
    1 A.K. Fazlul Huq’s ‘Rise to Power’ in Bengal Politics Bengal and the Bengalis at the very beginning of the twentieth century, were in the forefront not only in the field of introducing new philosophy, applying new methodology and generating new political ideas and consciousness among the masses but also they were playing the prominent role in launching the anti- British movements, mainly under the banner of the Indian National Congress and Bengal at that time, was thought-out to be the „nerve centre of Indian nationalism‟. Not only that, Bengal along with Punjab and Maharashtra had also become great centres of „militant nationalism‟ or „revolutionary terrorism‟. The first half of the twentieth century was considered to be much eventful in the history of Bengal as well as India with regard to the socio-economic and political changes that had occurred, influenced and completely changed the socio-political scenario of this country. The 1905 was the milestone which indicated a major turning point and momentous event not only in the history and politics of undivided Bengal but also of India. The first partition of Bengal in 1905 and its annulment in 1911, had transformed Bengal into an epicenter of Indian politics. The foundation of the All – India Muslim League (as a result of the Simla deputation of 1 October 1906 to the Viceroy Lord Minto II under the leadership of Aga Khan) in the Dacca Educational Conference on 30 December 1906 under the leadership of Nawab Salimullah of Dacca (presently Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh) to safeguard the political rights and interests of the Muslims, to preach loyalty to the British and to further the cause of inter-communal amity was, of course, another fundamental political change which brought a section of Muslim community of Bengal to a position of active politics not only at the provincial level but also at the national level.

  • (1870S-1990S) Heena Ansari* and SZH Jafri
    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 64(2), 2019, pp. 251-269 Review Article MUSLIMS OF BENGAL: AN ANALYSIS OF SOME PERSPECTIVES (1870S-1990S) Heena Ansari* and SZH Jafri* Abstract Bengal Muslims have attracted the attention of British officials since the time of Permanent Settlement. The issues like peasant revolts, Faraizi movement and marginalization of Muslim elite during Inam Commission AD 1828-46 have enticed their interest. In the modern writings Bengal Muslim are treated as the ‘zoology of the lower chordates’ and have not come up to the grip of the problem in a manner which is required from the available data. In the ‘bhadralok dominated’ discourse, Muslim themselves are held responsible for their economic plight and educational backwardness. Such studies seldom take up the questions historically. Neither the files of Inam Commission could be accessed anywhere in India, nor the family papers of marginalized elite have survived. We only have colonial records providing a peep into the process/es of their marginalization. Any discussion on the plight of Bengal Muslim ought to begin with Permanent Settlement, the auction and monetization of zamindari rights. This review article seeks to analyse the data from much maligned and ignored work of W.W. Hunter,Our Indian Musalmans-Are They Bound in Conscience to Rebel Against the Queen; Peter Hardy, The Muslims of British India, Azizur Rahman Mallick, British Policy and the Muslims in Bengal, 1757-1856, and Rafiuddin Ahmed, The Bengal Muslims 1871-1900: A Quest for Identity.These works specifically have taken up the Muslim questions, therefore, it becomes important to understand the diversity in their approach.

  • Zuban-E Urdu-E Mu'alla and the Idol of Linguistic Origins1
    Zuban-e Urdu-e Mu‘alla and the Idol of Linguistic Origins1 I as a bounded entity to be located in dic- tionaries, grammar books, a literary canon and, most important, a “community” of human beings who can be counted and located on a map—all these are developments that emerged in nineteenth-century India and distort our understanding of earlier times. Naming one such language “Urdu” was itself an historical event in this process. It is a name that took some time to enter common usage and in certain quarters has remained problematic. What counts as Urdu as opposed to Hindi, Hindi- Urdu, Hirdu, Hindustani, Hindusthani and a number of so-called lan- guages, dialects and speech varieties has been a matter of highly charged controversy for a long time. The Turkish word urd∑, as a military encampment, appears in Indo- Muslim texts from the middle of the twelfth century. Babar in the sixteenth century refers to his own urd∑-e mu‘all≥, the exalted camp. But the word is not explicitly associated with language until the middle of the eighteenth century. It was then that Arzu, Mir and others began to use phrases like zub≥n-e urd∑-e sh≥hµ,2 zub≥n-e urd∑-e mu‘all≥, or, more modestly, mu√≥vara-e urd∑-e mu‘all≥—the idiom of the exalted camp. And only at the end of the century do scholars begin to find scattered references to the word urd∑ alone as a metonym for a language, which is 1An earlier version of this paper was presented at the South Asia Conference, University of Wisconsin, November , .

  • Farooq Ahmad Dar*
    PAKISTAN–Bi-annual Research Journal Vol. No 56, January- June 2020 A TALE OF TWO LEADERS: JINNAH-SUHRAWARDY RELATIONS DURING FREEDOM MOVEMENT Farooq Ahmad Dar* Abstract Suhrawardy is considered to be one of the most competent politicians Pakistan has ever produced. He was blessed with God-gifted talent, was well-versed in the art of politics and right from the beginning of his career he proved to be a popular leader amongst his support base. He had strange relations with Jinnah. On one had he kept supporting Jinnah ever since the latter started trying to re-organize the Muslim League, after his return from self-exile, but on the other hand history has witnessed a number of ebb and flow in the relationship of the two. Though the main reason for it was the difference in the ultimate agenda, i.e. Jinnah was concerned about Muslims living all over India while Suhrawardy’s major focus was the people of Bengal; yet there were many other factors which did not allow the two leaders to consistently remain on the same page on the issue of few important political matters. This paper investigates that why Suhrawardy did not become Jinnah’s number one choice in Bengal and why he kept relying more on people like Isphahani and Nazimuddin? It also explores that why in spite of all the differences, the two spearheads never publically opposed each other? Keywords Jinnah, Suhrawadhy, Bengal, Muslim League, Elections of 1937, Elections of 1946, Delhi Muslim Legislator’s Convention Unlike Mohammad Ali Jinnah, who was totally a self- made man, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy’s linage and brought up played an important role in his achievements, especially at the * Associate Professor Department of History Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad 1 PAKISTAN–Bi-annual Research Journal Vol.
