However, by the sixth century AD, so completely were their scriptures and teachings distorted that had the founder or the Prophet of any one of them returned to Earth, he would unquestionably have refused his own religion and denounced its followers as apos- tates and idolaters. Judaism had, by then, been reduced to an amalgam of dead rituals and sacraments with- out any spark of life left in it. Also, being a religion upholding a strong racial identity, it never had a message for other nations or for the good of the humanity at large. Through mysticism and magic many polytheistic ideas and customs again found their way among the people, and the Talmud confirms the fact that idolatrous worship is seductive. -
The Faith of the Prophet's (Peace Be Upon Him) Parents
Islamic Centre - Leicester The Faith of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) Parents. 1.0. Introduction. In Zia al-Nabi, the award-winning biographical account of the Prophet’s life , Pir Muhammad Karam Shah al-Azhari (may Allah have mercy upon him) writes: The majority of the Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jama’at scholars adhere to the opinion that the parents of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are recipients of salvation and are blessed with the bounties of paradise (Zia al-Nabi , vol. II, p. 78). This means that from Adam to Abd Allah, Hawwa to Aamina, all the prophets lineage consisted of believers. This paper’s aim is to present the evidence from the Qur’an, Sunna and opinions of the esteemed scholars to support this view. In short, the opinions of the scholars can be divided into three camps. Each of the three camps approach the issue from a different angle but all point to the same conclusion: that the parents of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are saved and are not in the fire of hell. There are a handful of Muslims who suggest that – Allah forbid – the Prophet’s parents were not Muslims and therefore will not enter the gardens of paradise. After presenting these views, a comprehensive refutation will be offered too. 1.1 A brief biography of the Prophet’s parents. Sayyiduna Abd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) was the youngest and most beloved son of Abdul Muttalib. He was hardworking, chaste and known for his unparalleled beauty. -
Law and Love: Jewish, Christian and Muslim Attitudes
LAW AND LOVE: JEWISH, CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM ATTITUDES Patrick J. Ryan, S.J. Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society Fordham University Forty-six years ago, in my first year of theological studies at Woodstock College, a famous Jesuit professor of canon law came into class to begin a course of ten introductory lectures on his subject. He paused at the beginning, stared out at us first-year students and announced, with curmudgeonly conviction: “Now, you’re all lovers, and I’m a lawyer.” He proved the latter point over those ten lectures; I am not sure how well we, his students, panned out as lovers. We Christians tend to have a prejudice against law, especially in religious terms, unless, of course, we happen to be canon lawyers. Prejudice against law in religious terms tends to spill over into civil life as well. We tell more jokes about lawyers than we do, for instance, about butchers, bakers and candlestick makers. Participants in the Jewish and Muslim traditions, on the other hand, revere those trained in the law, religious and even civil, perhaps because the study of the Law in religious terms (Torah, Shari‘ah) plays a central role in the faith lives of Jews and Muslims. Is our Christian prejudice against religious law justified? Are we really that different from Jews and Muslims when it comes to law? These questions raise issues that would keep us at this lecture much longer than any of you would like to sit. Let me concentrate, this evening, on laws that have had an 1 extensive history in the faith traditions of Jews, Christians and Muslims: laws concerning food. -

Muhammad and Idolatry
Muhammad and Idolatry Sam Shamoun A prominent feature of Islam is that most of its rites and practices were adopted from the pagan Arabian rituals of Muhammad's time. To hide their pagan origins, Muhammad claimed that God initially sanctioned these rites. In fact, before, during, and after his mission, Muhammad continued to perform rites that were nothing more than idolatry. For instance, a hadith of al-Bukhari records that, prior to his calling, Muhammad made sacrifices to the pagan idols: Narrated 'Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said that he met Zaid bin 'Amr Nufail at a place near Baldah and this had happened before Allah's Apostle received the Divine Inspiration. Allah's Apostle presented a dish of meat (that had been offered to him by the pagans) to Zaid bin 'Amr, but Zaid refused to eat of it and then said (to the pagans), "I do not eat of what you slaughter on your stone altars (Ansabs) nor do I eat except that on which Allah's Name has been mentioned on slaughtering." (Sahih al-Bukhari 7:407) Despite the fact that the parenthetical statements ² "that had been offered to him by the pagans" and "to the pagans" ² are not part of the Arabic text, the point is still clear that Muhammad ate food sacrificed to idols while Zaid refused to eat it. This is brought out clearly from the following citations taken from F.E. Peters. According to a tradition reported by Zaid ibn Haritha, who was also present at the event, The Prophet slaughtered an ewe for one of the idols (nusub min al-ansab); then he roasted it and carried it with him. -

Usquf Na- jran), one of oldest centers of Christianity (Ar. Nasraniyya)3 in the Arab World and at the same time a monk/ascetic (anachorete). He is pictured as the greatest orator of all the tribes […] and whose eloquence has become proverbial […] He is also an heroic figure, describing as being also the poet, sage, judge, etc. par excellence of the Arabs of his time – states the eminent French Arabist Charles Pellat4. Abu Hatim as-Sijistani (d. about 869) writes that, he reached the age of 380 years, being one of ‘long lived’ 1 This piece of information was discussed in detail by western Arabists (a presentation of this dis- cussion see in: M.M.

EARLY HISTORIOGRAPHY of SIRAH NABAWIYYAH in INDONESIA: Study of Moenawar Chalil's Kelengkapan Tarikh Nabi Muhammad
19 EARLY HISTORIOGRAPHY OF SIRAH NABAWIYYAH IN INDONESIA: Study of Moenawar Chalil’s Kelengkapan Tarikh Nabi Muhammad Ahmad Choirul Rofiq Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Ponorogo Email: [email protected] Abstract: The study of Sirah Nabawiyyah is very important to take detailed knowledge of Muhammad’s life with all its aspects. Kelengkapan Tarikh Nabi Muhammad written by KH Moenawar Chalil is one of Indonesian Muslims’ works focused on Sirah Nabawiyyah. This library research emphasizes on Kelengkapan Tarikh Nabi Muhammad (that was first published in 1936) as its primary source. This paper purposively aims to analyse the biographical characteristic of Kelengkapan Tarikh Nabi Muhammad relating to its historical sources and explanation of historical events related to the life of the prophet Muhammad. Finally, it concludes that Moenawar Chalil successfully applied the historical method in writing the complete history of the life of the Prophet Muhammad. He used reliable historical sources, such as the Qur’an, prophetic traditions, exegetical works, and Islamic historical books. He made historical explanations based on standard historiographic rules. He paid attention to the historical questions of historiography (namely: who, what, why, where, when, and how) to explain Sirah Nabawiyyah thoroughly and then accentuated the essence of events with spirit of Islam. Furthermore, he added several chapters thematically so that the readers can understand his work deeply. املل ّخص: إن دراسة السرية النبوية مهمة جّدا ملعرفة حياة رسول هللا حمـمد صلى هللا عليه وسلم من مجيع جوانبه ابلتفصيل. إن من أحد كتب السرية النبوية هو Kelengkapan Tarikh Nabi Muhammad الذي كتبه احلاج منّور خليل وطبع ﻷول مرة سنة ألف وتسع مائة وستة وثﻻثني. -
The Prophet ﷺ's Farewell Sermon
BACHELOR OF ISLAMIC REVEALED KNOWLEDGE & HERITAGE – QUR’AN & SUNNAH STUDIES RKQS1151: REFLECTIONS ON PROPHETIC HISTORY Farewell Sermon ,s Farewell Sermon: Messages’ﷺ The Prophet Relevance of Farewell Sermon to the Contemporary Issues of Human Rights Norhanna Yumi Ibrahim 3/18/2016 Introduction s farewell pilgrimage, also known as the Hajjatul Wada’, there were two major’ﷺ In Prophet takeaways for Muslims – one, the Fiqh of Hajj and two, the several sermons or khutbahs made by our This paper will focus on the latter, where the significance of the sermons centred on .ﷺ Prophet ﷺ protecting human dignity and human rights, thereby aligning with the Maqasid al-Shari’ah1. Prophet delivered the most important one – the Farewell ﷺ gave at least 3 sermons in Hajjatul Wada’. He Sermon – on the Day of Arafat, 9th Zulhijjah which fell on a blessed Friday in that 10th year after the Hijrah to Madinah. Ever since then, a sermon is delivered there every Hajj. This paper will look into the relevance of the Farewell Sermon to contemporary issues of human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)2 has been used in this paper as the basis of modern human rights.

About Mohammed III: of Pork, Pictures, and Pedophilia
About Mohammed III: Of Pork, Pictures, And Pedophilia February 8, 2021 Category: Religion Download as PDF No Ham? Debunking myths about Mohammed of Mecca (MoM) often involves Dispelling misconceptions about the Sunna. Here, let’s look at a couple taboos that are based on specious assertions; then at an item that is ACTUALLY ethically problematic, yet is routinely elided. This juxtaposition will illustrate a gross contortion of prioritization. For while decrying things that are ethically copacetic, myrmidons are apt to blithely gloss over–nay, deliberately obfuscate–things that any level-headed person would see as opprobrious. Let’s start with the notion of “halal” vs. “haraam” with respect to food (that is: regarding dietary restrictions). We might use as our point of departure a maxim on which all reasonable people concur: All else being equal, it is preferable to eat “halal” meat (insofar as it is ostensibly organic) in lieu of meat that comes from a factory (and thus off of any assembly line), often under dubious conditions–suffused, as it often is, with preservatives and other chemicals. In this sense, “halal” meat is more natural, and is therefore much healthier than meat that is “processed”. Moreover, “halal” meat comes from animals that were treated well during life, and then slaughtered ethically (that is: quickly). This cautionary measure stems from an ancient protocol that–for millennia–made perfect sense: Eat meat only from animals that have very recently been killed; and killed in a sudden manner (e.g. by having their throat slit); as the meat from any other dead animal is suspect. -
