  • The Prophet Jesus (As) and Hazrat Mahdi Will Come This Centyry
    W illCome ThisCentury ABOUT THE AUTHOR Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA, Adnan Oktar was born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his primary and secondary education in Ankara, he studied fine arts at Istan- bul's Mimar Sinan University and philosophy at Istanbul Univer- sity. Since the 1980s, he has published many books on political, scientific, and faith-related issues. Harun Yahya is well-known as the author of important works disclosing the imposture of evolu- tionists, their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons between Dar- winism and such bloody ideologies as fascism and communism. Harun Yahya’s works, translated into 63 different languages, con- stitute a collection for a total of more than 55,000 pages with 40,000 illustrations. His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun (Aaron) and Yahya (John), in memory of the two esteemed Prophets who fought against their peoples' lack of faith. The Prophet's seal on his books' cov- ers is symbolic and is linked to their contents. It represents the Qur'an (the Final Scripture) and Prophet Muhammad (saas), last of the prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur'an and the Sun- nah (teachings of the Prophet [saas]), the author makes it his purpose to disprove each fundamental tenet of irreligious ideologies and to have the "last word," so as to completely silence the objections raised against religion. He uses the seal of the final Prophet (saas), who attained ultimate wisdom and moral perfection, as a sign of his intention to offer the last word.

  • DEVELOPMENT of Shrism in CONTEMPORARY IRAN
    DEVELOPMENT OF SHriSM IN CONTEMPORARY IRAN il.BSTRACTS THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy (Isla.mic Studies) BY Ahsanul Haq UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF ^^\^ CENTRE OF WEST ASIAN STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH 1988 DEVELOPMENT OF SHI1SM IN CONTEMPORARY IRAN ABSTRACTS THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy (Isl£imic Studies) BY Ahsanul Haq UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF CENTRE OF WEST ASIAN STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH 1988 ABSTRACT The oppositional attitude of the Shi'i 'ulania' towards the Pahlavi regime increased tremendously during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah (1941-79). This opposition, obviously, had certain theoretical bases. Though the power and authority of 'ulama' vis-a-vis the existing government began to increase right from the Safavi period, an attempt to make a direct bid for power is certainly a recent phenomenon. Although there are quite a few general works available on the changing roles of the Iranian 'ulama', there is no serious study of the theoretical changes that took place in the thoughts of Shi'i 'ulama' during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah. This dissertation tries to fulfil this gap. The dissertation is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter deals with the origins of Shi'i theory of imamate. Most of the basic concepts of Ithna 'Ashari Shi'ism (the Twelvers) such as imaroat ghayabat, intezar and taqiyya were crystallised during the Buyid and Mongol periods. According to Ithna 'Ashari Shi'i belief only the Prophet and imams possess legitimate authority -2- to rule over the people. They enjoyed spiritual as well as temporal velayat' over the people.

It first presents the codified laws and underlying elements from Twelver Shi‘i law (as interpreted by the Iranian legal community) governing the penalties of stoning for adultery, amputation of four fingers for theft, and execution for sodomy and certain variants of fornication (illicit carnal congress between unmarried males and females).

  • America, the Second ‘Ad: Prophecies About the D Ownfall of the United States 1
    America, The Second ‘Ad: Prophecies about the D ownfall of the United States 1 David Cook 1. Introduction Predictions and prophecies about the United States of America appear quite frequently in modern Muslim apocalyp- tic literature.2 This literature forms a developing synthesis of classical traditions, Biblical exegesis— based largely on Protestant evangelical apocalyptic scenarios— and a pervasive anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. These three elements have been fused together to form a very powerful and relevant sce- nario which is capable of explaining events in the modern world to the satisfaction of the reader. The Muslim apocalyp- tist’s material previous to the modern period has stemmed in its entirety from the Prophet Muhammad and those of his generation to whom apocalypses are ascribed. Throughout the 1400 years of Muslim history, the accepted process has been to merely transmit this material from one generation to the next, without adding, deleting, or commenting on its signifi- cance to the generation in which a given author lives. There appears to be no interpretation of the relevance of a given tradition, nor any attempt to work the material into an apocalyptic “history,” in the sense of locating the predicted events among contemporary occurrences. For example, the David Cook, Assistant Professor Department of Religion Rice University, Houston, Texas, USA 150 America, the Second ‘Ad apocalyptic writer Muhammad b. ‘Ali al-Shawkani (d. 1834), who wrote a book on messianic expectations, does not men- tion any of the momentous events of his lifetime, which included the Napoleonic invasion of Egypt, his home. There is not a shred of original material in the whole book, which runs to over 400 pages, and the “author” himself never speaks— rather it is wholly a compilation of earlier sources, and could just as easily have been compiled 1000 years previ- ously.

  • Islam: Faith, Practice & History
    Chapter 1 Preface In the name of Allāh, the Beneficent, the Merciful O Allāh, send Your blessings upon Muhammad & his Progeny The book in your hand is an introductory treatise on Islamic beliefs, laws and ethics as well as the early history of the faith in fifty lessons. These lessons were part of the Islamic Correspondence Course that I compiled, wrote and edited for the Islamic Education and Information Centre, Toronto, in the early nineties. The course consists of three parts: Part I (twenty lessons) on Islamic theology outlines the basic beliefs of the faith; followed by Part II (fifteen lessons) on Islamic jurisprudence explaining the spiritual and financial issues as well as the social and familial aspects of life; it concludes with Part III (fifteen lessons) on the brief history of the first three centuries covering the lives of the Prophet Muhammad, his daughter, Fātima, and the Twelve Imams of Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them all). Each lesson is followed by a question paper. Besides my own writings, the sources used in preparing this course have been duly mentioned at the end of each lesson. Nonetheless, I would like to acknowledge here the writings of my late father ‘Allāmah Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizvi, the board of writers of Dar Rāh-e Haqq Insti- tute (Qum, Iran), the late ‘Allāmah S.M. Husayn Tabātabā’i, and Ayatullāh Nāsir Makārim Shirāzi. I also would like to thank Br. Haider Ali Khoja, a lecturer at Humber College, for preparing the question pa- pers for the initial lessons which helped me in preparing questions for the remaining lessons in the same pattern.

  • The Mahdi Wears Armani
    The Mahdi wears Armani wears Mahdi The The prolific Turkish author Harun Yahya attracted international attention after thousands of unsolicited copies of his large-format and lavishly illustrated book Atlas of Creation were sent free of charge from Istanbul, Turkey, to schools, universities and state leaders worldwide in 2007. This book stunt drew attention to Islamic creationism as a growing phenomenon, and to Harun Yahya as its most prominent proponent globally. Harun Yahya is allegedly the pen name of the Turkish author and preacher Adnan Oktar. Behind the brand name “Harun Yahya”, a highly prosperous religious enterprise is in operation, devoted not merely to the debunking of Darwinism, but THE also to the promotion of Islam. Backed by his supporters, Oktar channels vast financial resources into producing numerous books, dvds, websites and lately also television shows promoting his message. MAHDI The aim of this dissertation is to shed light on the Harun Yahya enterprise by examining selected texts published in the framework of the enterprise. It describes, WEARS analyzes and contextualizes four key themes in the works of Harun Yahya, namely conspiracy theories, nationalism/neo-Ottomanism, creationism and apocalypticism/ Mahdism. The dissertation traces the development of the enterprise from a religious ArMANI community emerging in Turkey in the mid-1980s to a global da‘wa enterprise, and examines the way in which its discourse has changed over time. The dissertation’s point of departure is the notion that the Harun Yahya enterprise and the ideas it promotes must primarily be understood within the Turkish context from which it emerged. Drawing on analytical frameworks from social movement theory and rhetorical analysis as well as contemporary perspectives on Islamic da‘wa and activism, the study approaches Harun Yahya as a religious entrepreneur seeking market shares in the contemporary market for Islamic proselytism by adopting and adapting popular discourses both in the Turkish and global contexts.

  • A Study on the Role of Different Types of Reason in Validation of Commentary Tradition
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 3 Issue 4 ǁ April. 2014 ǁ PP.42-48 A Study on the Role of Different Types of Reason in Validation of Commentary Tradition 1,Ali Akbar Babaie,2,Mahmood Haaji Ahmadi 1,Associate Professor, Howzeh- University research center 2, PhD. Student, Howzeh-University research center ABSTRACT: Reason is one of the criteria for examining the validation of tradition – so much that disagreement with it can discredit it and agreement with it can be considered as a validation. The goal of this study is to show the role of different reasoning faculties in validating the interpretational traditions. This study was conducted using a library-based study and the method of conceptual analysis. It showed that reason is a governing criterion in all aspects of assessment and analysis. However, in most cases the role of reason is discussed as a criterion in evaluating the intelligible traditions. Reason is a source in the form of theoretical and practical reason in the form of privative in assessing the interpretational traditions used as a criterion for validation. KEY WORDS:Reason, traditions, Reasoning basis, opposition, validation I. INTRODUCTION Koran and tradition are the two main sources for understanding the religion and Islamic learning and deducing the religious laws. Eliminating any of these elements will lead to a defective understanding of the religion. The holy Koran, as the first backing and source for Islamic learning and everlasting divine miracle, was kept immune from distortion. It was scribed at its inception by the efforts of the prophet Mohammad and other experts.
