Ethan Kohlberg is one of the Islamologists who has dealt with the subject of martyrdom in his research. Medieval Muslim Views on Martyrdom (Medieval Muslim views on martyrdom) He concludes that the concept of martyrdom in Islam is to give up life and seek an opportunity to reach death. In another part of the article, Kohlberg discusses the relationship between suicide and martyrdom, and challenges the issue of boycotting suicide in Islam and its ugliness. He believes that attacking the enemy is a form of suicide. Arguing against historical narrations, he considers suicide permissible in Islam. In this study, after briefly introducing the concepts of martyrdom and suicide in Islamic verses and hadiths, in the content critique section, to express and explain the citations of this Orientalist about his views on martyrdom, the ruling on suicide in Islam, and that martyrdom seeks suicide. We will pay and the inaccuracy of his views will be revealed. Keywords: Martyrdom; Martyrdom; Suicide; Ethan Kohlberg; Islam Problem Statement The subject of martyrdom is one of the most important issues in Islam, which has a special place among Muslims. According to Islamic sources, the martyr is alive1 (Al-Imran, 169) and with the first drop of the martyr's blood, all his sins are forgiven except religion. (Ameli, 327) Martyr means to be killed in the way of God. The sum of those martyrs is martyrdom: seeking martyrdom and martyr who is alive, that is, he is alive before God. (son Manzoor, 1414 AH, 3/242) is stated in the definition of martyrdom: »(Motahari, 1372, 71). 1 - wala tahsabann alladhin qutiluu fi sabil alllah 'amwatana bal 'ahya' eind rabbihim yurzaqun Critique of Ethan Kohlberg's Views on the Martyrdom of Early Muslims 54 International Journal of Multicultural and Multireligious Understanding (IJMMU) Vol. 7, No. 7, August 2020 The subject of martyrdom and martyrdom-seeking has entered the researches of Orientalist Islamology, and it has been seriously analyzed and studied, and different views have been put forward on this subject. Among these orientalists, the Shiite orientalist Ethan Kohlberg has authored several articles on the subject of martyrdom in Islam. "Martyrdom"2 has been written. In this article, Ethan Kohlberg offers thoughtful insights into martyrdom in Islam, and its relationship to suicide. He believes that suicide is permissible in Islam and attacking the enemy is a kind of suicide if suicide means consciously destroying oneself to get rid of the unbearable situation (Asgari, 2014, 109) Which the Qur'an forbids (Nisa: 29); But seeking martyrdom means wanting to desire martyrdom, the question that arises is whether seeking death by martyrdom from God is acceptable in Islam? Is such a request worthwhile or not? Examining the verses of the Holy Quran and the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (as), we will come to the conclusion that the purpose of seeking martyrdom is to defend Islamic values, so these two issues have two different rulings in Islam. Given the differences between the two issues, with what documents did Kohlberg present his views on the subject of testimony? And how does he consider the martyrdom of Muslims as a kind of suicide? In this research, we will refer to the analysis of martyrdom-seeking views in Islam from the point of view of Ethan Kohlberg. We will finally come to the inaccuracy of Ethan Kohlberg's views on the subject of martyrdom. Background In this study, we analyze Ethan Kohlberg's views on testimony. Given that Ethan Kohlberg has written many works in the field of Shiism and Islam, only a few of these works have been criticized. The issue of martyrdom is one of the most important topics in Islam, to which several research works by Ethan Kohlberg are dedicated. Despite the fact that Islamic thinkers have tried to defend Shiism over time; However, in response to the suspicions and currents of thought that have been raised against the issue of martyrdom, there are no significant writings in response to it. Description of Ethan Kohlberg: Ethan Kahlberg was born in 1943 in Tel Aviv. His father, Dr. Joshua Kahlberg (1909-1999), is a Zionist activist, and his mother, Dr. Arma Kohlberg (1909-2002), is Jewish. His family settled in occupied Palestine in 1937. Who were of European descent and from areas under German and Ukrainian rule after World War II, this made it easier for Kohlberg to learn different languages. Ethan Kohlberg lived in many countries and studied with many professors. After completing his military service, he joined the Hebrew University, completing his bachelor's degree in 1966, obtaining his bachelor's degree two years later, and two years later his master's degree by defending his dissertation in He received the subject of "Sunnis and Shiites around the first caliph of Abu Bakr." He studied at the University of Oxford from 1969 to 1971 and earned his doctorate by defending a dissertation on "Shiite Imami views on the Companions". He then taught at the Hebrew University in 1972 and became a professor in 1991. His activities revolve around the research of Islamic thought and religious teachings in the Middle Ages and focus on Shiite Islam. He has written many articles on Shiite beliefs. He pays special attention to Shiite culture, especially what belongs to hadith and tradition, and what is related to current issues, between Shiites and other Muslims. The issue of martyrdom in Islam is one of the topics seen in the works of Ethan Kohlberg. The title of Kohlberg's articles on the subject of martyrdom in Islam is as 2 - Medieval Muslim Views on Martyrdom Critique of Ethan Kohlberg's Views on the Martyrdom of Early Muslims 55 International Journal of Multicultural and Multireligious Understanding (IJMMU) Vol. 7, No. 7, August 2020 follows (Amir-Moezzi, Mohammad Ali, & Bar-Asher, Meir M. & Hopkins, Simon, 2009, 11-29) Martyr 1995.3 Medieval Muslims' views on the 1997 martyrdom4 The image of the Prophet Muhammad as a martyr20055 Martyr: A Framework on Islamic Martyrdom in 20066 Martyrdom and martyrdom in Islam: Martyrdom is the way to attain true happiness and immortality in heaven, and a believer who seeks perfection must seek martyrdom; Because martyrdom is the way to reach his desired degrees, the truth of what has been said, according to God Almighty in the Holy Quran <<wala tahsabana aladhin qutiluu fi sabil allah 'amwatana bal 'ahya' eind rabihim yurzaquna,farihin bima atahum allah min fadlih wayastabshirun bialadhin lam yalhaquu bihim min khalfihim 'alaa khawf ealayhim wala hum yahzanuna, yastabshirun biniemat min allah wafadl wa'ana allah la yudie 'ajr almuminina(al eamrana:171-169). Witnessing is for a person to sacrifice his life for the sake of God, to defend the homeland and the religion of truth and the believers, and not to be afraid of any threat, in order to achieve a higher goal. Prefer death with dignity over life with humiliation. (Qaraati, 1387, 2/115) And as mentioned before, suicide is completely different from destroying oneself to get rid of an unbearable situation. A martyr is someone who is killed in the way of God. (Ibn Manzur, 1414 AH, 3/242) and the infidels killed him in battle. (Fayumi, 1987, 124) Tashahhud means seeking martyrdom. (Hosseini Zubaydi, 1414 AH, 5/50) and it is also said that the martyr is deceased and for this reason it is named because the angels of mercy are present with him.<<'iina aladhin qaluu rabuna allah thuma astaqamuu tatanazal ealayhim almalayikat 'alaa takhafuu wala tahzanuu wa'abshiruu bialjanat alati kuntum tueadun >>. (fsalta, 30) Oh, the guide of Aynkeh, the martyrs, in it, that it is the secret of the blessings of which Anan, Maha Farmoudeh, witness Hastand, oh, the guide of Inaka, the souls of Anan, the souls of Anan, the souls of the nazd, are present, and he witnessed what may be more intense. (The Imran family 171- 169) waladhin amanuu biallah warusulih 'uwlayik hum alsidiyqun walshuhada' eind rabihim lahum 'ajruhum wanuruhum (alihadayd, 19). (raghb,1412q, 468; taryhy, 1375sh, 3/81) Since the present article deals with the lack of connection between the two issues of martyrdom and suicide in Islam, it is necessary to examine these two issues in Islamic sources; In the following, we present the contents of both topics in verses and hadiths alone. 1 -SHAHID 1997. 2- Medieval Muslim Views on Martyrdom1997. 3-The image of the prophet Muhammad as a shahid 2005. 4-shahid: a framework on islsmic martydom 2006 Critique of Ethan Kohlberg's Views on the Martyrdom of Early Muslims 56 International Journal of Multicultural and Multireligious Understanding (IJMMU) Vol. 7, No. 7, August 2020 Ethan Kohlberg's view on martyrdom in Islam: Ethan Kohlberg, in his article "Medieval Muslims' Views on Martyrdom", examines the subject of martyrdom in Islam and considers it a form of suicide.

Shiite narrations consider the verse revelation on the day of Ghadir and about the guardianship of Imam Ali (PBUH), but the Sunnis deny this. In this article, for the first time, by categorizing the views of the Sunnis and considering the necessity of internal compatibility of the content of the verse and external compatibility with other verses and the intellectual necessities and without quoting narrations, is proven that the perfection of religion is possible only with Imamate and Wilayah with a novel style; and this is the Shiite vote. This research easily refuted all the possibilities mentioned in Sunni sources by the mentioned method and without the need to enter into the usual disputes in the interpretation of the verse.

  • Saudi Arabia Under King Faisal
    SAUDI ARABIA UNDER KING FAISAL ABSTRACT || T^EsIs SubiviiTTEd FOR TIIE DEqREE of ' * ISLAMIC STUDIES ' ^ O^ilal Ahmad OZuttp UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. ABDUL ALI READER DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1997 /•, •^iX ,:Q. ABSTRACT It is a well-known fact of history that ever since the assassination of capital Uthman in 656 A.D. the Political importance of Central Arabia, the cradle of Islam , including its two holiest cities Mecca and Medina, paled into in insignificance. The fourth Rashidi Calif 'Ali bin Abi Talib had already left Medina and made Kufa in Iraq his new capital not only because it was the main base of his power, but also because the weight of the far-flung expanding Islamic Empire had shifted its centre of gravity to the north. From that time onwards even Mecca and Medina came into the news only once annually on the occasion of the Haj. It was for similar reasons that the 'Umayyads 661-750 A.D. ruled form Damascus in Syria, while the Abbasids (750- 1258 A.D ) made Baghdad in Iraq their capital. However , after a long gap of inertia, Central Arabia again came into the limelight of the Muslim world with the rise of the Wahhabi movement launched jointly by the religious reformer Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab and his ally Muhammad bin saud, a chieftain of the town of Dar'iyah situated between *Uyayana and Riyadh in the fertile Wadi Hanifa. There can be no denying the fact that the early rulers of the Saudi family succeeded in bringing about political stability in strife-torn Central Arabia by fusing together the numerous war-like Bedouin tribes and the settled communities into a political entity under the banner of standard, Unitarian Islam as revived and preached by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.

  • AL-RAJ'ah Introduction So Far, Many Scholars and Philosophers Have
    1 AL-RAJ‘AH Al-Raj‘ah By Mohammad Pakdin * Introduction So far, many scholars and Philosophers have tried to unveil the mystery of the Second Coming (al-raj‘ah) of the deceased Imams and raised many ideas and theories pertaining to the possibility their resurrection and its nature. In the history of human beings bodily resurrection has drawn the attention of both philosophers and religious scholars. Due to its key role in proving resurrection on the Day of Judgment I intend to conduct an investigation on the reality as well as the quality of resurrection and al-raj‘ah, which is an Islamic term for ‘the return of the deceased’. In Christianity, resurrection refers to the resurrection of Jesus Christ as well as resurrection in the Day of Judgment. When addressing resurrection on the Day of Judgment, Christians merely recognize and discuss bodily resurrection. A cursory glance at * MA student at International Institute for Islamic studies, Date of Compilation: 2011 Islamic resources shows that resurrection is an essential principle within the Islamic doctrine. Resurrection, in Islamic terminology, entails both the resurrection of the 2 Day of Judgment, also known as “ma‘ād”, as well as the resurrection of Imams, Jesus Christ and a few other individuals prior to the Day of Judgment, which referred Al-Raj‘ah to as “Al-raj’ah”. Shiite Scholars strongly hold the idea of resurrection of the infallible Imams and consider it as one the focal point in Shiite beliefs. Since al-raj’ah is a form of bodily resurrection that takes place in this world, I have decided to concentrate on this topic by accumulating scattered elements of the phenomenon of resurrection according to both Islamic and western Philosophy.

    Fatwen Its Role in Shari 'di and Contemporary Society with South African Case Studies BY NASIM MITHA DISSERTATION Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS in ISLAMIC STUDIES in the FACULTY OF ARTS at the RAND AFRIKAANS UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR: PROF. A.R.I. DOI CO - SUPERVISOR: PROF. J.F.J.VAN RENSBURG MAY 1999 Acknowledgement Praise be to Allah who in his infinite mercy has endowed me with the ability to undertake and complete this work on fanvci, a topic which has hitherto been neglected. Confusion regarding the concepts of fatwci, agOya, mufti, qcich and exikim abounds in the South African Muslim community. In consequence the entire Shatfah is misunderstood and misrepresented. It is my fervent hope that this study redresses this problem to some extent and induces others to produce further work on this topic. The Prophet (may peace be upon him) has reported to have said, "He who does not thank man has not thanked Allah." It is with these words of our master in mind that I acknowledge the efforts of all those who made this task possible. Firstly, I deeply appreciate the effort made by my teachers, and principal Moulana Cassim Seema of Dar al-Vitim Newcastle, who had guided me in my quest for Islamic knowledge and also to my sheikh of tasawwuf Moulana Ibrahim Mia for being my spiritual mentor. I thank my supervisor Professor `Abd al-Ralunan Doi at whose insistence this particular topic was chosen, and for the innumerable advice, guidance, and support afforded whilst the research was being undertaken.

  • WOMEN POLITICAL PARTICIPATION in the ERA of PROPHET MUHAMMAD: Study on the Hadith Transmitters of the Women Companions
    AL ALBAB Volume 6 Number 1 June 2017 WOMEN POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN THE ERA OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD: Study on the Hadith Transmitters of the Women Companions Zunly Nadia STAISPA Yogyakarta Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Most of Moslem societies define the role of woman in the purely domestic sector. Some people consider that Islam stands against women’s role in public sectors believing that it has roots in the context of the prophet’s time. This work shows that there is no prohibitation for woman to take parts in the public and social affairs including in the area of political role. It was the case that some women companions of the prophet participated in the political role including Aisyah the wife of Nabi Saw, Asma binti Abu Bakar, Ummu Athiyah, Ummu Hani’ and Rubayyi’ bint Mu’awidz. In this paper, the writer focuses on woman companion hadith transmitters who are directly wrapped up in the missionary work with the prophet. In addition, this paper also shows the relation between woman com- panion transmitter activities and their hadith transmission, under assumption that the role of woman would influence the texts of the transmitted hadiths. It is because, as a text, hadith was transmitted in the certain context and condition. Accordingly, every transmitter had different hadith transmission based on her context, status, profession, and even gender construction. Therefore, this paper discusses the woman companion transmitters who play their role in the field of politics and also their influence in their transmitted hadiths. Keywords: Politics, role of women, transmitter, hadith. INTRODUCTION Women have at least two roles regarding the roles of women i.e.

  • The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab 3
    The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab 3 I The Motivation Behind This Work This book is not one with a political agenda. It is meant neither to support nor to critique any contemporary regimes or policies.1 Indeed, the driving force behind this work is much greater and more important than that. It has to do with, first, the religion of Islam as preached by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself and, second, with the honor and rights of an individual Muslim, Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab. The name Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab (and correspondingly “Wahhabis” and “Wahhabism”) has been heard quite often throughout both the Muslim and non-Muslim worlds during the past two centuries. In reality, ibn Abdul-Wahhaab is not a man who is “shrouded in mystery.” His writings, as well as the writings of his closest students and descendents, are well-known and easily available today in virtually any part of the world. Although he is not shrouded in mystery what has been said about him over the years has definitely been filled with both fact and fiction. Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab was both a fellow human being and a fellow Muslim. As such, he has the right to be studied in an impartial and objective manner. That is, he has the right to a “fair trial.” No matter how much one may oppose his teachings, one does 1 This means that many issues that are bandied about today must be considered beyond the scope of this particular work.

  • Imam 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib
    Publicado en Al-Islam.org (https://www.al-islam.org) Inicio > Inquiries About Shi'a Islam > Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib > Who are the Twelve Leaders? Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib The Noble Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad specifically refer to the leadership of Imam ‘Ali after the Prophet in several incidents. Ghadir Khum This incident took place on the 18th of Dhul Hijjah, the twelfth month of theu Islamic calendar, and has been narrated by 110 companions of the Prophet, 84 members of the following generation (the tabi΄in), and 360 Muslim scholars from all schools of thought. Prophet Muhammad and approximately 114,000 of his companions had performed the farewell Hajj (pilgrimage) and were returning home. That year, during the Hajj, the weather was very hot with the blazing sun taking its toll on the pilgrims. When the Prophet arrived at Ghadir Khum, a marshland crossroads from which all the Muslims from different lands would part on their own ways, the Prophet stopped the caravan at noontime, and waited for those who were behind to arrive and called upon those who had gone ahead to return, for he had received a revelation from Allah which he had to deliver to the people. The revelation read, “O Messenger! Declare what has been revealed to you from Your Lord, and if you do not, then your mission will not have been fully declared, and Allah will protect you from the harm of the people.”1 Then the Prophet spoke a bit before asking the assembly whether he truly had authority over them or not.
