  • Universal Government of the Mahdi
    Published on Al-Islam.org (https://www.al-islam.org) Home > Universal Government of the Mahdi Universal Government of the Mahdi Author(s): Ayatullah Naser Makarem Shirazi [3] This text, authored by Ayatullah Makarim Shirazi sheds light on the nature of the universal government that will exist with the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (AFS) at the end of time. His method of government, awaiting his reappearance and the way victory will be achieved by this great peacemaker is discussed and presented. Category: Imam al-Mahdi [4] Person Tags: Imam Mahdi [5] Biography of the Author The eminent scholar, Ayatullah al-`Uzma al-Hajj ash-Shaykh Nasir Makarim Shirazi was born in the year 1345 AH (1924 CE) in the city of Shiraz, Iran to a religious family who were well known for their great level of spirituality and noble ethical traits. His Eminence finished his elementary school studies in Shiraz and due to his eagerness to learn, his powerful memorizing capabilities, and other great talents, he was regarded as one of the extraordinary students from amongst his fellow classmates. Thus, he was able to complete two years of studies in one year! The conditions that existed in Iran in those days obligated this young man, who possessed such a talent and great aptitude, to choose the path of University studies to increase his knowledge and attain advanced levels of secular studies. However through the hand of fate, the blessings of the Maintainer of the Universe, and his own internal desires, this young man developed an attraction to becoming better acquainted and delve deep into the genuine teachings of Islam.

  • Historia Szyizmu
    Historia Szyizmu Ghulam Hasan Muharrami Tlumaczenie: Barbara Szydłowska W imię Miłościwego i Litościwego Boga Historia Szyizmu Wstęp Historia Szyizmu - historią żywej szkoły i walecznych zwolenników Historia szyizmu (tashayyu’) stanowi nieodłączną część historii Islamu. Jest ona kontynuacją czasów zapowiedzi religii Islamu pod przewodnictwem Proroka Islamu (s.) i członków Jego Szkoły (Ahl al-Bayt). Pochodzenie nazwy Shi’ah związane jest z postacią samego Świętego Proroka (s.).1 Pierwszy zalążek szyizmu powstał dzięki grupie wspaniałych i wyróżniających się Współtowarzyszy (sahabah) i naśladowców Proroka (s.), którzy według instrukcji tego Świętego (s.) uwierzyli w konieczność przewodnictwa jego następcy, którym był Ali ibn Ali Talib. Po śmierci Proroka (s.), zwoływaniu potajemnych spotkań w Saqifah jak też tworzeniu dwuznacznej atmosfery wokół wyborów kalifa, dokonuje się w historii szyizmu radykalny zwrot ku innej ścieżce. W związku z tym, że szyici twardo opowiadają się za swoim liderem (Ali) i są wierni przesłaniom Ahl al-Bayt’u, w rezultacie dzielnie znosząc wszystkie trudności, nie wyrzekają się swoich ideałów i wierzeń. W efekcie powstrzymują się od udziału w rządach ówczesnej epoki i niechętnie się do nich ustosunkowują. Chociaż występujące różnice między szyitami a zwolennikami kalifatu oficjalnego (ci pierwsi zostali wcześniej wyznaczeni przez Proroka (s.) na prawowitych następców) przejawiają się w tym, że jednak Szyici po śmierci Proroka (s.) odwołują się w dalszym ciągu do wybitnych nauk i dziedzin Islamu (zasady wiary, prawoznawstwo, hadis, tafsir i pozostałe nauki wypływające z głównego żródła wiedzy, jakimi są Imamowie i Ahl al-Bayt). Szyici stopniowo odłączają się od zwolenników kalifatu oficjalnego i zaczynają kreślić nową linię działań nadając swoim myślom i kulturze nowy wymiar. Kwestia ta sama w sobie odbiła się nadzwyczajnym echem w historii i kulturze szyickiej.

It concerns an incident during the Prophet's illness when he asked for writing materials to dictate a will, but the people present around him said that he was talking nonsense. This event is a point of controversy between the two largest sects of Islam. This book presents the reality of what happened and who was the person involved who had the audacity to cast such aspersion on the Messenger of Allah (S).

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds and benedictions be upon Prophet Muhammad and his Purified Progeny. The Important role that translation plays in propagation of religion is known to all.

  • Islamic Studies HSC Paper 1-Syllabus-9013.12
    (Syllabus with Past Papers) By Mr Pahary S. M. Y Islamic Studies Syllabus 9013 / 12 Preface The need for Islamic education has been felt throughout ages. This concerns all Muslims, men and women, irrespective of age and time. However, when it comes to students, I have seen that there is not a specific book not light enough for them. Many students have prejudice once the lengthiness of a book is concerned. Students find it hard to search for notes and to make research work. That was the main reason of the presence of this book in hand. It is easy to study and grasp. This book has been compiled based on the syllabus of the subject, Islamic Studies Year 2014 with code 9013 / 12. The page of content has been presented as per the syllabus itself. After each chapter there are questions of past exams for HSC. Coming to the test item of the subject, an aspect of great importance is the writing of essays. If though you are an expert in the subject that does not imply that you will be able to write and compose great essays. You need an essay with an introduction, a body and a conclusion. You need to specify and enumerate the different parts of the question. You need to follow the trend of the question. You need to show knowledge and understanding of the subjects with explicit, logic and critical approach. It is important to note that a teacher is still vital for the explanation and elaboration of the syllabus. Students must never think and pretend to be able to learn by themselves and achieve the highest level.
