Here, the prophet Muhammad (c. 570-632 CE), the messenger of God and founder of the Muslim faith, was born. Here, too, within the city’s Great Mosque, is the most sacred Muslim shrine, the Ka’aba. According to tradition, this cube-shaped building, draped in black cloth embroidered with a band of sacred verses in gold and silver thread, was originally built as a replica of a heavenly prototype. It was sacred to the Meccans before the time of the Prophet. And since the birth of Islam in the seventh century, it has been the focal point of the hajj, now the world’s largest annual pilgrimage. One of the “five pillars” of Islam, the hajj lasts several days, during which pilgrims must carry out certain rituals in Mecca and at sacred sites nearby. Muslims consider the city and an area several miles around it to be haram (“restricted,” “sacred”) and off-limits to non-Muslims.

  • The Symbol Cf the Centre and Its Religious Function in Islam
    The Symbol cf the Centre and its religious function in Islam By JAN HJARPE A modern catechism for English-speaking Muslim children contains a map showing Mecca as the Centre of the inhabited world1 justas the old Arab geographers, e.g. Ibn Hawkal, begin their descriptions of cities and countries with "the mother of cities" (cf. Sura 42: 7/5), Mecca'. Eliade cites the feeling of a-homogeneity in space as a basic religious experience'. Separate parts of a room, different places, regions and directions have different emotional values in the eyes of the individual. There is a ritual orientation in the world. In this context we may speak of a Centre, the Origo in the religious orientation in the world. This concept is an essential feature of Islam. To be valid the prayers must be performed facing the kibla, which is the Ka`ba in Mecca4. The animal to be slaughtered stands with its head towards the kibla5, the dead is buried with his face towards Mecca. The kibla determines the orientation of the mosques, and thus indirectly, town plans throught the Muslim world. Mecca is also the goal of the Pilgrim- age. In bygone days the Muslim traveller carried an astrolabe to find the kibla with the help of the stars6; today a special compass is used. The kibla, the direction for ritual acts, is towards the Centre of the world, the Ka`ba in Mecca, or, to be exact, towards the north-western wall of the Ka`ba building between the western corner and the gilded spout for the rainwater from the roof7.

    Institute ofAsian and African Studies at the Hebrew University The Max Schloessinger Memorial Foundation offprint from JERUSALEM STUDIES IN ARABIC AND ISLAM 8 1986 FROM JAHIUYYA TO ISLAM I Part II THE MAGNES PRESSOTHE HEBREW UNIVERSITY-JERUSALEM J5AI 8. 1986 THE KAcBA Aspects of its ritual functions and position in pre-Islamic and early Islamic times Uri Rubin The history of the Ka-ba in pre-Islamic times, as recorded in the Arab sources, is, in many cases, related from a specific Islamic viewpoint, and formulated in a special Islamic terminology, which has, sometimes, un- dergone a process of adaptation and re-adaptation. But, in spite of these disadvantages of the Muslim records, which have already been noticed by western scholars, lone may still come across many passages which seem to reflect the authentic pre-Islamic reality of the Ka-ba. Even pas- sages containing details which appear to be contradictory, or, inconsis- tent, or even legendary, are, more often than not, most revealing with respect to the history of the Ka-ba, The present study is based upon the assumption that much of the inconsistency in the information about the Ka-ba, as recorded in our sources, is essentially the result of real changes and developments which took place in the structure, ritual functions and position of the Ka'ba in pre-Islamic times, and in the attitude of the worshippers towards this sanctuary since it became part of Muslim worship. Some of these changes and developments are studied in the present article, the outline of which is as follows: 1.

  • Gazing in the Eyes of the Martyrs: Four Theories of South Asian Shiʿi Visuality
    Journal of Material Cultures in the Muslim World 1 (2020) 268–290 brill.com/mcmw Gazing in the Eyes of the Martyrs: Four Theories of South Asian Shiʿi Visuality Karen G. Ruffle | ORCID 0000-0001-8289-8771 Associate professor, Department of Historical Studies and Study of Religion, University of Toronto, Canada [email protected] Abstract This essay presents an extended theoretical reflection on how South Asian Shiʿa visually engage with image-objects, notably the metal standard (ʿalam), and replica of Imam Husayn’s Karbala shrine-tomb (taʿziya). I present four theoretical lenses to theorize South Asian Shiʿi visual inter- actions: 1. Image acts; 2. Objects as assemblages imbued with thing power; 3. Images as focal objects of reciprocal gazing, and 4. The intersensorial nature of image-objects. Keywords South Asian Shiʿism – New Materialism – visual culture – image acts – Hyderabad – ʿalam – taʿziya – assemblage – Sayyid ʿAli Naqi Naqvi Standing before the ʿalams displayed each Muharram at the ʿāshūrkhānah Sayyid Jamshed ʿAli Khan, also known as Lohe ki Kaman, located in the Old City neighbor- hood of Pathar Gatti in Hyderabad, India, one gazes on the faces of the beloved Imams and Ahl-e Bayt (the family of the Prophet Muhammad descended through Fatimah al-Zahra and his cousin and son-in-law ʿAli ibn Abi Talib), dressed in royal finery.
