  • 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.

  • The Role of Makharij Al-Huruf in Keeping the Meaning of the Qur’An Verses
    AL FAWATIH Jurnal Kajian Al-Qur’an dan Hadis Volume 1 Nomor 1 Edisi Januari-Juni 2020 Fakultas Syariah dan Ilmu Hukum IAIN Padangsidimpuan THE ROLE OF MAKHARIJ AL-HURUF IN KEEPING THE MEANING OF THE QUR’AN VERSES Sefri Auliya Dosen Universitas Islam Negeri Imam Bonjol Padang [email protected] Hidayatul Azizah Gazali Dosen Universitas Islam Negeri Imam Bonjol Padang [email protected] Abstract Many moslem people are not quite right and even wrong in reading verse of the Qur’an. Unconsciously, it can damage the meaning and interpretation. One reason is when the reader does not learn and understand in advance the science of how to read the Qur’an correctly and well, known as the science of Tajwid. Among the discussions of Tajwid which plays an important role in maintaining the meaning of the Qur’an verse is the science of Makharij al-Huruf. This science learns how to pronounce the letters of the Qur’an properly and correctly and in accordance with what was taught by the Prophet Muhammad. Mistakes in pronounciation can damage the meaning of the verse, but on the other hand there are also those that do not damage the meaning. For example, ِ read by ِ (the letter of read ح ﻓَ َﺼ ﻞ ﻟَﺮﺑ َﻚ َوْاﻧـَﻬﺮ ﻓَ َﺼ ﻞ ﻟَﺮﺑ َﻚ َواﳓَْْﺮ .where errors in pronouncing the letter will change the original meaning ,(ه like the sound of Keywords: verse, meaning, al-qur’an, tajwid, makharij al-huruf A.

World’s fairs 1 World’s fairs made their appearance in the middle of the 19th century as the result of a development based on a tradition of medieval church fairs, displays of industrial and craft produce, and exhibitions of arts and peoples that had been popular in Britain and France. Some of these early fairs were aimed primarily at the promotion of crafts and industry. Others wanted to edify and entertain: replicas of city quarters or buildings characteristic of a city were erected thereby creating a new branch of the building industry which became known as coulisse-architecture.

It has been designed to include songs and stories from various countries as well as to include some child rearing information for parents/caregivers. Countries have been sectioned off by continent to appear in the following order: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. General parenting tips are found after the songs. A SPECIAL NOTE Although there is a great diversity in infant care practices in the different societies, babies are considered precious in every one. Appreciate Multiculturalism: Children are usually open to different cultures. Most of them have gone to fully integrated schools from the beginning. They have been provided a wealth of life experiences that are just not available to children living and studying in predominantly mono-cultural societies.
