Takarli, R. Mahmoudi, S.Tellai, D.Chadli Centre des Techniques Spatiales Arzew Oran Algeria - [email protected] KEY WORDS: 3D modelling, terrestrial photogrammetry, camera calibration, accuracy ABSTRACT: Studies on the architectural heritage can now be supported by three-dimensional reconstruction of actual buildings. The 3D digital model can be an effective medium for documenting the current state of historic buildings but also to create a resource for researchers who conduct their analysis on historical evolution. Architectural photogrammetry has its own specifications in relation to other photogrammetric applications, however it meets these expectations. The traditional approach requires the use of metric cameras but with the development of computational techniques, this requirement is overcome and opens the way for the use of non-metric camera. The use of the shots that is no longer restricted to the parallel configuration of bundles, the images may be convergent, horizontal or oblique. Combining and modelling several cameras increasingly powerful in resolution and stability, has great scope and the same workflow can be used in varied applications. ISPRS and ICOMOS created CIPA because they both believe that a monument can be restored and protected only when it has been fully measured and documented and when its development has been documented several times, i.e. monitored, also with respect to its environment, and stored in proper heritage information and management systems.

The author uses the theory of interpretation because this theory aims to produce an understanding of a text in contemporary situations. The results of this research are that Israiliyat mauquf can be used as source of interpretation because it has positive impact in relation to aspect of religion of samawi Keywords: Israiliyat, mauquf, contemporary exegesis Introduction The text of the Qur'an that is global (mujmal) makes the Qur'an has a uniqueness and advantages compared with the other religious texts before, such as the Torah of the Jewish scriptures and the Gospel of the Christian scriptures. Because of its global nature, interacting with the other religion texts is a necessity, without interaction with the other religious texts so the Qur'an is less able to catch its meaning, especially related to the story of long time ago. Interaction, according to the author is the effort to interact the Samawi Religion that has the same source, namely Allah swt. It is not a lack let alone the weakness of the Qur'an, as the opinion of some Western scholars like Abraham Geiger, who claimed that Muhammad had adopted the Hebrew words into the Qur'an and the Qur'an has been much influenced by Jews religion (including in his interpretation), related to faith, doctrine, morals and the story of the Qur'an (Armas, 2002: 25).

  • Religious Conflict in Early Islam: a Study of Its Causes from Qur'an Sunnah
    QURANICA, International Journal of Quranic © 2014 Centre of Quranic Research (CQR), Research, Vol. 6, Issue.2, December 2014, Pp. 1-18 University of Malaya, Malaysia RELIGIOUS CONFLICT IN EARLY ISLAM: A STUDY OF ITS CAUSES FROM QUR’AN SUNNAH PERSPECTIVE)*( 1 2 S. M. Yunus Gilani & Tazul Islam ABSTRACT This paper aims to present an historical survey on the conflict between Islam and other religions. It undertakes an analytic textual reading of the concerned Quranic verses and a historical survey of the Prophet’s (pbuh) efforts to resolution of the conflict. This study finds that a multi-dimensional causes contributed to the conflict between the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and other religions. For example, Religious roots which was mainly caused by the Christians and Jews’ denial of prophecy of Muhammad (pbuh) after a clear prediction of his prophethood in their religious scriptures. However, politico-economy was another key element of this conflict in the early Islamic state in Madinah. Though this conflict had come to broad daylight in the Islamic era, had a long pre-Islamic root go back to the second and third century CE. Moreover, Jews and Christians had a genuine fear of being defeated by the new emerging Muslim power. Therefore, they had found themselves in conflict so that they could reign their hegemony over the territory. In addition, after a city state was established in Madinah, the Prophet (pbuh) found a demographic presence of Jews and their ally Quraish threatening it peace, security, stability and even assassination of head of the state. Hence, the conflict had become inevitable.

  • His Place in the Tradition of İsbatu Nubuwah Ali B. Rabban At-Tabarī's
    Islamic University Europe Ali B. RabbanRabban Aat-Tabarī’st-Tabarī's Kitâbu’d-Dînkitâbu'd-dîn ve'd ve’d-Devle-devle and And Hishis placePlace in In the The tradition Tradition of Ofİsbatu İsbatu Nubuwah Nubuwah 1 Fuat AYDIN Summary Many verses within the Qur’ān exemplify Muhammad’s prophethood (pbuh). Isbātu nubuwwah literature results from the embodiment of Muhammad’s prophethood within the verses. An increase in this literature’s circulation, resulting from the increasing amount of Christians and Jews converting to Islam, is increasing the amount of material written discussing the prophethood of Muhammad (pbuh). However, despite numerous references supporting the multitude of material that ensued, only Ali b. Rabban at-Tabarī’s work remains. Tabarī provides a comprehensive answer to opposing views suggesting that Muhammad (pbuh) is not a prophet. Key Words Prophethood, signs of prophethood, Muslim-Christian relations, miracle, conversion, Kindī, Rāzī, Tabarī Strongly perpetuating the Islamic refutation tradition (raddiya), prophecies and signs indicative of the prophethood of Muhammad (pbup) are established within the holy scriptures of Judaism and Christianity; unmistakably, evidence representative of the prophethood of Muhammad within Semitic tradition. These “Prophecies”, based on the words of the Qur’ān and Muhammad (pbuh), became lively debated subjects, especially among Christians, as Muslims became rulers of places heavily resided by Jews and Christians. Later, becoming one of the essential subjects for the Islamic refutation literature. The relevant texts committed to paper by Muslims were of inadequate Bible knowledge. However, they became more powerful and influential through the contributions provided by an experienced Bible knowledge of converted Christian and Jewish writers.

  • Abdullah Ibn Salam, Jewish Rabbi, Medina
    Abdullah ibn Salam, Jewish Rabbi, Medina Al-Husayn ibn Salam was a Jewish rabbi in Yathrib [Medina] who was widely respected and honored by the people of the city, even by those who were not Jewish. He was known for his piety and goodness, his upright conduct, and his truthfulness. Al-Husayn lived a peaceful and gentle life but he was serious, purposeful and organized in the way he spent his time. For a fixed period each day, he would worship, teach and preach in the temple. Then he would spend some time in his orchard, looking after date palms, pruning and pollinating. Thereafter, to increase his understanding and knowledge of his religion, he would devote himself to the study of the Torah. In this study, it is said he was particularly struck by some verses of the Torah which dealt with the coming of a Prophet who would complete the message of previous Prophets. Al-Husayn therefore took an immediate and keen interest when he heard reports of the appearance of a Prophet in Makkah. What follows is his story, in his own words: When I heard of the appearance of the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) I began to make enquiries about his name, his genealogy, his characteristics, his time and place and I began to compare this information with what is contained in our books. From these enquiries, I became convinced about the authenticity of his prophethood and I affirmed the truth of his mission. However, I concealed my conclusions from the Jews. I held my tongue.

  • Lessons from the Lives of Those Who Went Astray (Lesson 6/Session II)
    Lessons From the Lives of Those Who Went Astray (Lesson 6/Session II) Huyay ibn Akhtab, The Jealous One The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) entered Madina Munawwara after 10 years of persecution in Makkah. The Ansar of Madina were very happy and extremely delighted by the arrival of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). But this was not the feeling that everyone had. Rather this auspicious arrival of the Prophet, for some people, was the worst thing that could ever happen to them. Three Tribes of the Jews There were 3 tribes of the Jews who resided in Madina Munawwara when the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) arrived there. They were Banu Nadhir, Banu Qurayzah, and Banu Qaynuqaa. They knew for sure that Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was a true Prophet because all of his signs and his exact description was given in detail in their Divine Book. But in spite of all this, many of them still refused to accept the Prophet’s message due to their jealousy and hatred for him. Huyay ibn Akhtab and His Jealousy When the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) entered Madina and invited the people to Islam, Huyay ibn Akhtab was the head Rabbi of the Jews from the tribe of Banu Nadhir. His brother, Abu Yasir ibn Akhtab went to see the Messenger and listen to what he had to say. When he came back to his people, and told them: “O my people! The one whom we have been waiting for has come! Follow his way and do not oppose him.” When Huyay heard this, he went to hear the Prophet and listened to what he had to say.

  • A Jew on Java, a Model Malay Rabbi and a Tamil Torah Scholar: Representations of Abdullah Ibnu Salam in the Book of One Thousand Questions
    A Jew on Java, a Model Malay Rabbi and a Tamil Torah Scholar: Representations of Abdullah Ibnu Salam in the Book of One Thousand Questions RONIT RICCI Introduction In contrast to many regions of the Middle East, where Jewish communities existed at the time of the Prophet and throughout the centuries following his death, the Tamil region of south India and the Indonesian-Malay world lacked such populations. The absence of Jewish communities did not, however, imply a complete unfamiliarity with Jews and Judaism. Rather, their image emerged from a variety of textual sources in lieu of direct encounters. In addition to their depictions in the Qur’an and hadith literature, Jewish figures occasionally appeared in texts produced in these regions’ local languages. The Book of One Thousand Questions, composed in Arabic and translated thereafter into many languages – including Javanese, Malay and Tamil – offers a glimpse to portrayals of Jews and Judaism in lands where their actual presence was virtually unknown.1 The ‘Book of One Thousand Questions’ The Book of One Thousand Questions is a story about a question and answer dialogue between the Prophet Muhammad and an important Jewish leader by the name of Abdullah Ibnu Salam in seventh-century Arabia.2 Ibnu Salam asks the Prophet about various aspects of Islamic ritual, history and theology. Convinced by the replies that Muhammad is, indeed, the ‘seal of the prophets’ and the bearer of Truth, Ibnu Salam converts to Islam. The Book had been composed, in Arabic, by the tenth century and later circulated far and wide across both Asia and Europe.3 While the two protagonists and the dialogue format remained constant – as did many of the topics addressed – certain thematic elements were transformed by translators adapting the story in different places and times.

In order to achieve this aim, using library resources as well as focus on research that has been done in this area, by defining the Isra'iliyyat word, criteria of diagnosing Isra'iliyyat narratives is introduced. Keywords: Isra'iliyyat, Isra'iliyyat diagnostic criteria. http://www.ijhcs.com/index.php/ijhcs/index Page 1188 Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND April 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 1. Introduction Undoubtedly, traditions are an important resource for finding facts, and exploring in religion. People have always tried to achieve Islam by searching in the true tradition. To verify the validity of Hadith, it is necessary to be carefully considered tradition document and the validity of its narrators. Such validity interpretations pests is to remove or weakness of a series of narrators and narrative documents (Radmanesh, 1991) and other Hadiths pests is the existence of Isra'iliyyat among Hadith germane to infallibles Imams (Ashtiani, 2007). The mean of "Israelites" is often faked and aliens narrative influenced by imported beliefs (such as Jews, Christians, and Magi) that have found their way to religious texts.

  • Modern Insights Into the Policies Affecting Public Health in the Islamic Caliphate (622CE – 1258CE)
    Modern Insights into the Policies affecting Public Health in the Islamic Caliphate (622CE – 1258CE) Basem A Khalil A thesis submitted to The University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of PhD (Public Health) Faculty of Applied Sciences January 2016 1 Abstract Background/aim: In the Western world, the emergence of historical research on the effects of the social determinants of health has provided the discipline of public health with new insight into this aspect of population health complementing the more traditional focus on the history of medicine. The Islamic Caliphate was a dominant power in its time and little is known about its public health history. This thesis aims to provide a chronologically historical account of the policies taken in this period and analyse them in the light of modern theories of public health. Materials and Methods: This thesis employed a qualitative research technique. Known primary and secondary historical sources were examined and data translated and presented in a chronological order. Modern historical sources analysing the historical accounts of that era were also used. Policies affecting health were retrieved and analysed using modern day research into the same policies. Results: The analysis has resulted in a revisionist argument that policies affecting public health in a positive way did exist in a sophisticated manner in the Islamic Caliphate albeit in an inconsistent manner. The study complements the works of medical historians who identified a “Golden Age” in the later era of the Caliphate with advancements in medical science with a potential “Golden Age” in the early era related to the social determinants of health.

Best blessings be upon the Divinely chosen one and the seal of the prophets, and upon his blessed household and guiding companions. Talking about the Holy Prophet’s household (i.e. the Ahl al-Bayt) can be simple and easy but at the same time difficult and intricate. It can be easy for those who only want to narrate what is uninterruptedly transmitted from ancestors to successors and recorded in books dedicated to virtues and distinctive qualities of the personalities of Islam, but it is very difficult for those who attempt to reveal the secrets and treasures hidden in these book and narrations, for the sublime purposes and excellent points they had carried, because discussing all these virtues, or even some of them requires a previous acquaintance with a great amount of true knowledge and noble morality.
