Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis breaks away from the prevailing notion of unanitibb as a ‘system’ of medicine by drawing attention to some key arenas in which unani practice was reinvented in the early twentieth century. Specialist and non-specialist media have projected unani tibb as a seamless continuation of Galenic and later West Asian ‘Islamic’ elaborations. In this thesis unani Jibb in early twentieth-century India is understood as a loosely conjoined set of healing practices which all drew, to various extents, on the understanding of the body as a site for the interplay of elemental forces, processes and fluids (humours). The thesis shows that in early twentieth-century unani ///)/; the boundaries between humoral, moral, religious and biomedical ideas were porous, fracturing the realities of unani practice beyond interpretations of suffering derived from a solely humoral perspective. The principal objective of the thesis is to draw attention to the tensions manifest in different spheres of unani practice as certain practitioners reconfigured their knowledge and practices though the prisms of nationalist and communitarian politics, changing social and moral norms, the expanding use of print and colonial inspired models of legitimacy. These phenomena presented challenges to the authoritative practicetibb of as a local, family affair. Unani practitioners were forced to take stock of what they thought to be good, authentic and legitimate in order to represent this knowledge to the public on a vastly new scale; both to gain and maintain their trust and their custom, and in order to represent the credibility of their practices in new, less personalised administrative, judicial and political domains. The thesis emphasises the importance of the market in the reform of tibb during this time, an area which is especially important in the context of the collapse of courtly patronage for elite unani practice in most parts of India during the nineteenth century. The principal themes framed in this study are: plague and unani reform; legitimacy in relation to institutional and family practice; the emergencetibb of as a ‘national’ enterprise; new engagements with women and change in the treatment of certain women’s diseases; conceptualisations of male sexuality; and the role of the unani journal in the establishment of innovative practices and relationships with the public. 2 Contents List of Illustrations.............................................................................................................. 6 Note on Romanisation............................................................. 7 Acknowledgements............................................................................................................. 8 Chapter 1 Introduction. .............................................. ................................................................... 12 I.

Rogers Myron Weiner a ........ .................. ..... .......... C/77-5 INTERNAL MIGRATION POLICIES IN AN INDIAN STATE: A CASE STUDY OF THE MULKI RULES IN HYDERABAD AND ANDHRA K.V. Narayana Rao Migration and Development Study Group Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 August 1977 Preface by Myron Weiner This study by Dr. K.V. Narayana Rao, a political scientist and Deputy Director of the National Institute of Community Development in Hyderabad who has specialized in the study of Andhra Pradesh politics, examines one of the earliest and most enduring attempts by a state government in India to influence the patterns of internal migration. The policy of intervention began in 1868 when the traditional ruler of Hyderabad State initiated steps to ensure that local people (or as they are called in Urdu, mulkis) would be given preferences in employment in the administrative services, a policy that continues, in a more complex form, to the present day. A high rate of population growth for the past two decades, a rapid expansion in education, and a low rate of industrial growth have combined to create a major problem of scarce employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh as in most of India and, indeed, in many countries in the third world. It is not surprising therefore that there should be political pressures for controlling the labor market by those social classes in the urban areas that are best equipped to exercise political power.

  • Inspiring Passion for Arabic Poems Among Non-Native Speakers of Arabic in Malaysia
    8-10 September 2014- Istanbul, Turkey 983 Proceedings of SOCIOINT14- International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities INSPIRING PASSION FOR ARABIC POEMS AMONG NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS OF ARABIC IN MALAYSIA Rahmah Ahmad Osman1 1Assoc. Prof. Dr. International Islamic University Malaysia, [email protected] Abstract The method of teaching literature at a secondary or tertiary level has always been a matter of interest and a topic of discussion in many countries. However, not until recently has the role and importance of literature in the English and Arabic as the first or second level classrooms been given emphasis. This study examines how Arabic poems and proverbs can be used as effective methods in the teaching and learning of Arabic to non-native speakers in Malaysia. It proposes that new and more innovative and effective methods should be introduced to replace the current conventional methods of teaching Arabic. The teaching of literature; i.e., Arabic poems and proverbs requires a passion for literature itself. When the passion for literature has been instilled, language learners will enjoy their literature courses, and find them to be easier than before they had this awareness. As a result of the learners‟ advancement and acquired appreciation, they are able to access the vast linguistic treasures Arabic literature has to offer and therefore, simultaneously improve their competence in Arabic. Keywords: Inspiring. Passion. Arabic Poems. Non-Native Speakers. Malaysia. 1 INTRODUCTION In order to comprehend and appreciate the notion that passion for literature itself is vital in the teaching of literature, a discussion on the methods employed in teaching Arabic in Malaysia at this juncture seems appropriate.

C". C ,\,,: 41-------<..<.LI-hY,-""lA""""","""I,--ft-'t _ '" I) Abstract Mustafa Sadiq al-Rafii, a modem Egyptian writer with classical style, is not studied by scholars of Arabic literature as are his contemporary liberals, such as Taha Hussein. This thesis provides a historical background and a brief literary survey that helps contextualize al-Rafii, the period, and the area he came from. AI-Rafii played an important role in the two literary and intellectual schools during the Arabic literary revival, which extended from the French expedition (1798-1801) to around the middle of the twentieth century. These two schools, known as the Old and the New, vied to shape the literature and thought of Egypt and other Arab countries. The former, led by al-Rafii, promoted a return to classical Arabic styles and tried to strengthen the Islamic identity of Egypt. The latter called for cutting off Egypt from its Arabic history and rejected the dominance and continuity of classical Arabic language. AI-Rafii contributed to the Revival by supporting a line ofthought that has not been favored by pro-Westernization governments, which made his legacy almost forgotten. Deriving his literature from the canon of Arabic language, culture, and history, al-Rafii produced a literature based on a revived version of classical Arabic literature, an accomplishment which makes him unique among modem Arab writers.

  • Urdu in Hyderabad State*
    tariq rahman Urdu in Hyderabad State* The state of Hyderabad was carved out in 1724 by the Asif Jahis (Āṣif Jāhīs), the governors of the Mughal emperors in the Deccan, when they became powerful enough to set themselves up as rulers in their own right. The Nizams1ófrom Mīr Qamruíd-Dīn Khān (1724ñ48) until the sixth ruler of the house Mīr Maḥbūb ʿAlī Khān (1869ñ1911)óused Persian as their court language, in common with the prevailing fashion of their times, though they spoke Urdu at home. Persian was, however, replaced by Urdu in some domains of power, such as law courts, administration and education, toward the end of the nineteenth century. The focus of this article is on the manner in which this transition took place. This phenomenon, which may be called the ìUrduizationî of the state, had important consequences. Besides the historical construction of events, an attempt will be made to understand these consequences: the link of ìUrduizationî with power, the construction of Muslim identity, and socio- economic class. Moreover, the effect of ìUrduizationî on the local languages of Hyderabad will also be touched on. *The author is grateful to the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan for a grant to carry out research for this article in India. 1The Nizams who actually ruled were the first seven; the last in the line carried the title until 1971 but did not rule: 1) Mīr Qamaruíd-Dīn Khān Niāmuíl- Mulk Āṣaf Jāh I (r. 1724–48); 2) Mīr Niām ʿAlī Khān Āṣaf Jāh II (r. 1762–1803); 3) Mīr Akbar ʿAlī Khān Sikandar Jāh III (r.

  • Haddithu 'An Bani Isra'ila Wa-Ia Haraja a Study of an Early Tradition
    Haddithu 'an bani isra'ila wa-Ia haraja A Study of an early tradition This widely current tradition was variously interpreted by Muslim scholars. They differed in their opinions about the significance of the words of this hadith, its intent and its implications. The core of the discussion lay in fact in the problem whether it was lawful to turn to Jewish and Christian sources for guidance, to study Jewish and Christian compilations and to incorporate certain aspects from them into the Muslim cultural tradition and belief. Scru- tiny of some of these discussions may help to elucidate the tendencies of the various religious groups in Islam and assist us in gaining a deeper insight into the attitudes of Muslim scholars. I The tradition Haddithu 'an bani isra'il was considered by Goldziher as one which is opposed to the trend of Muslim orthodox scholars who watched with reluctance the influence of Jewish Aggada and of Christian legends on Muslim tradition.1 The transmission of this hadith, says Goldziher, serves as evidence of the controversy among the scholars of the second century about the trans- mission of Jewish lore. The earliest source in which this tradition is recorded is the Risala of al-Shafi'i (d. 204).2 This tradition is also reported in the Jami' of Ma'mar b. Rashid (d. 154),3 and in 'Abd al-Razzaq's Musannafwith the following isnad: 'Abd al-Razzaq > aI-Auza'I4 > Hassan b. 'AtiyyaS > Abu Kabsha6 > 'Abdallah b. 'Amr b. aI- 'As.

  • Concept for Integrating Sharia Law Into Secular Law Systems وَجَاهِدُوا فِي َّللاهِ
    Concept for integrating Sharia law into secular law systems Presentation by Dr. Abdel Rahman Mihalffy REMARKS When we say the word Muslim I don’t think we comprehend the real and classical meaning of the word. Does anyone of you know who Muslim is? In English the one who bow to God with full submission. I collected here some of those Ayas from the Holy Quran where the word “Muslim” occurs. It will surprise you: 22. Surah: Al-Hajj, Pilgrimage ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِه َوَجاهُدوا في هَّللا َح هق جَهاده ُهَو ا ْجتََبا ُكْم َوَما َجَع َل َعَلْيُكْم في ال دي ِن م ْن َحَرٍج مل َة ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ن ِ أَبيُكْم إْبَارهيَم ُهَو َسهما ُكُم اْل ُم ْسلمي َن من َقْب ُل َوفي َهَذا لَيُكوَ الهرُسوُل َشهيًدا َعَلْيُكْم ِ ِ ه ِ ِ ِ َوتَُكوُنوا ُشَهَداء َعَلى الهناس َفأَقي ُموا ال هصََلةَ َوآتُوا الزَكاةَ َوا ْعتَص ُموا با هَّلل ُهَو َمْوََل ُكْم َفِنعم اْلموَلى وِنعم الهن ِصير ﴿٧٨﴾ ْ َ َْ َ ْ َ ُ 78. And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help! 2.
