  • Nīshāpūrī Scholars in the Formation of Sunnī Scholarship in the Eleventh Century
    Al-Jāmi‘ah: Journal of Islamic Studies - ISSN: 0126-012X (p); 2356-0912 (e) Vol. 55, no. 2 (2017), pp.427-462, doi: 10.14421/ajis.2017.552.427-462 NĪSHĀPŪRĪ SCHOLARS IN THE FORMATION OF SUNNĪ SCHOLARSHIP IN THE ELEVENTH CENTURY Mohammad Syifa Amin Widigdo Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta, Indonesia email: [email protected] Abstract The role of Nīshāpūrī medieval scholars in the tenth-eleventh century in the formation of Sunnī orthodoxy has been rarely discussed. The existing scholarship focuses primarily on the local history of Nīshāpūr and other parts of eastern Muslim world or emphasizes more on the contribution of Baghdādī scholars in the light of the formation of Sunnī legal schools, which in turn is deemed as Sunnī orthodoxy, than their counterpart in Nīshāpūr and other cities in the east. Therefore, this paper attempts to show how Muslim scholars from Nīshāpūr contributed to the advancement of Sunnī scholarship in the fifth/eleventh century through a closer study of intellectual strategies developed and employed by Nīshāpūrī scholars to cope with their local challenges. They built intellectual networking and attempted to integrate legal and theological scholarship in Islamic scholarship to deal with their local problems, which interestingly shaped their distinctive contribution in the light of Sunnī scholarship tradition. By means of this attempt of intellectual networking and harmonizing legal scholarship (fiqh) and theological scholarship (kalām), they were not only able to tackle local problems but also equipped with intellectual means to push doctrinal boundaries within Sunnī scholarship in the fifth/ eleventh century.

SULAYMon behalf AofN the (150/767) University of Manchester. All rights reserved. A COMPARISON OF THE REFERENCES TO MUQATIL B. SULAYMAN (150/767) IN THE EXEGESIS OF AL-THA{LABI (427/1036) Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jss/article/53/1/69/1729574 by ANKARA UNIVERSITY user on 08 July 2021 WITH MUQATIL'S OWN EXEGESIS* MEHMET AKIF KOÇ ANKARA UNIVERSITY, TURKEY Abstract Muqatil b. Sulayman’s work is the oldest surviving exegesis which comments on the entire Qur’an from the beginning to the end. Ana- lytical comparisons between different manuscripts of this exegesis and the quotations made by the exegetes, who greatly benefited from Muqatil, give us important information about the history of Quranic exegesis. al-Tha¨labi’s references to Muqatil offer valuable data illumi- nating the role of ‘the changing contents’ of the manuscripts in un- derstanding the history of the exegesis. Changing evaluations and criticism about Muqatil’s personality and his opinions show that the history of Quranic exegesis needs to be further critically studied. Introduction Muqatil b. Sulayman’s exegesis has been studied by modern scholars to enable them to elaborate on the history of early exegetical activi- ties. The investigation of the transmissions of Muqatil in al-Tha¨labi’s recently published exegesis, al-Kashf wa al-bayan ¨an tafsir al-Qur’an1 has also contributed to the elucidation of the early development of exegesis and to the understanding of its nature in the following peri- * My thanks are due to Associate Professor Ismail Albayrak (Faculty of Divin- ity/Sakarya University) for comments and for correcting the English text of my ar- ticle.

  • The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan
    The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 George Fiske All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske This study examines the socioeconomics of state formation in medieval Afghanistan in historical and historiographic terms. It outlines the thousand year history of Ghaznavid historiography by treating primary and secondary sources as a continuum of perspectives, demonstrating the persistent problems of dynastic and political thinking across periods and cultures. It conceptualizes the geography of Ghaznavid origins by framing their rise within specific landscapes and histories of state formation, favoring time over space as much as possible and reintegrating their experience with the general histories of Iran, Central Asia, and India. Once the grand narrative is illustrated, the scope narrows to the dual process of monetization and urbanization in Samanid territory in order to approach Ghaznavid obstacles to state formation. The socioeconomic narrative then shifts to political and military specifics to demythologize the rise of the Ghaznavids in terms of the framing contexts described in the previous chapters. Finally, the study specifies the exact combination of culture and history which the Ghaznavids exemplified to show their particular and universal character and suggest future paths for research.

  • SHEIKH TAWFIQUE CHOWDHURY Preview Version
    Preview Version SHEIKH TAWFIQUE CHOWDHURY Preview Version Importance of this knowledge 1. This knowledge is of the most excellent without any exception. The excellence of any field of study is determined by its subject. The subject studied here is Allah's Names, His Attributes and His actions, which are the greatest matters that can be known, therefore Tawhid of Allah's Names and attributes is the greatest of sciences. Some of the salaf said, “Whoever wishes to know the difference between the speech of the creator and of the creation, should look at the difference between the Creator and the creation themselves.” Different verses in chapters in the Qur'an vary with each other in excellence. This is because of the different subjects they deal with. Surah Al-Ikhlas equals one-third of the Qur'an because it is dedicated to describing Al-Rahman. One of the Salaf said, “Tabbat Yada Abi Lahab” is not like “Qul Huwallhu Ahad”. Ayat Al-Kursi is the greatest Ayah in the Qur'an as it is devoted to describing Allah, His Majesty and Greatness. Likewise Al-Fatiha is the greatest Sura in the Qur'an. It is based on the praise of Allah. 2. Teaching Allah's Names and Attributes is one of the greatest goals of the Qur'an The Quran in its entirety is simply a call to Tawheed. Ibn Al- Qayyim stated, “Every Sura in the Qur'an comprises Tawhid. In fact, I shall state an absolute: Every verse in the Qur'an comprises Tawhid, attests to it, and calls to it.

    Kalām: Rational Expressions of Medieval Theological Thought Mustafa Shah, School of Oriental and African Studies, London University Mustafa Shah, «Kalām: rational expressions of medieval theological thought», in Houari Touati (ed.), Encyclopedia of Mediterranean Humanism, Spring 2014, URL = http://http://www.encyclopedie-humanisme.com/?Kalām 1 • Contents • Abstract • Introduction • Early Theological Deliberations • Hegemony of the Muʿtazilites • Coalescence of Kalām Strategies • Gestation of Sunni Kalām Discourses • Reactions to kalām and Inter-Sunni Polemics Abstract The discipline of kalām encompasses not only the rational exposition of religious doctrine and dogma, but it also extends to a panoply of subsidiary topics and genres, many of which were deemed relevant to the theoretical and conceptual resolution of doctrine and dogma. A key element of kalām discourses resides in their resort to dialectical strategies and rational frameworks which are used to explicate theological doctrine and interrelated constructs. Initially, the term kalām may have been exclusively used to exemplify the technique of using dialogues to flesh out theological propositions and postulates, whereby through a sequence of questions and corresponding answers, logical contradictions were identified in an opponent’s doctrines. However, over subsequent centuries such techniques were just one aspect of the schema of kalām, which came to represent the discipline of rational theology in a much more comprehensive sense. In this essay an attempt will be made to introduce

  • Methodologies for the Dating of Exegetical Works and Traditions: Can the Lost Tafsı¯R of Kalbı¯Be Recovered from Tafsı¯R Ibn Abba¯S (Also Known As Al-Wa¯D.Ih.)? *
    13 Methodologies for the Dating of Exegetical Works and Traditions: Can the Lost Tafsı¯r of Kalbı¯be Recovered from Tafsı¯r Ibn Abba¯s (also known as al-Wa¯d.ih.)? * MICHAELE.PREGILL Introduction CHOLARSHAVELONG sought to recover genuine sources from Sthe early Islamic period for what they might tell us about the con- tours of Islamic discourse before the imposition of normative stan- dards and concepts associated with the construction of Sunni orthodoxy in the third/ninth and fourth/tenth centuries. Before the emergence of ‘classical’ Islam restricted and reshaped the parameters of acceptable thought and practice, the earliest generations of Muslims naturally entertained a broader spectrum of possibilities in the realms of devotional practice, law, historical recollection and interpretation of the Qur’an. The gradual articulation of orthodox standards led to active or passive censorship of received material, for example as presented in the Qur’an commentary of Abū Ja1far al- 2abarī (d. 311/923), the first great monument to the nascent ideology of Sunnism in the tafsīr genre. Thus, identifying authentically pre- classical literary works, or at least authentically pre-classical strata of material within works composed at a later time, has long been a pri- ority for scholars of tafsīr, just as it has been for those working in other fields in the study of the early Islamic tradition. * I would like to acknowledge the many helpful comments I have received on this paper from various scholars, especially Andrew Rippin and Gerald Hawting; Devin Stewart and Walid Saleh have also offered much-needed advice. 393 Michael E.

  • Religion and State in Late Mughal India: the Official Status of the Fatawa Alamgiri
    Religion and State in Late Mughal India: The Official Status of the Fatawa Alamgiri Dr. Muhammad Khalid Masud* Following the advent of the phenomenon of the nation-state in modern Muslim countries, the issue of the relationship between the state and religion assumed great significance. Islamic scholars have differed over the scope of this relationship, and a key factor underpinning this inquiry has been different interpretations of the various schools of Islamic law. In this regard, the Hanafi school, due to its wide following, has been the center of attention of Islamic scholars since long. This article examines the Fatawa Alamgiri, a compilation of authoritative Hanafi doctrines, with respect to the meaning of the official recognition of the Hanafi school and the relationship between the state and madhhab (school). The meaning of official recognition is explored in the context of personal madhhab of the kings, royal patronage of madhhab, madhhab as a source of legislation, requirements for judges to interpret madhhab, and prevalence of madhhab among the masses. This article concludes that official recognition of madhhab cannot be obtained only on the basis of the evidence of personal adoption of madhhab by kings, its royal patronage, and its prevalence among the masses. In fact, official recognition is obtained when a madhhab becomes the exclusive source of legislation in the state, and judges are required to adhere to it exclusively. In this sense the Hanafi madhhab was never recognized as an official madhhab in pre-colonial India. 1. Introduction The formation of the nation-state in modern Muslim countries raised some important questions about the place of Islamic law in the structure of the state.
