  • A Reconstruction of the Meaning of Isrāʾ in Qur'an
    Yemeni Inscriptions, Iraqi Chronicles, Hijazi Poetry: A Reconstruction of the Meaning of Israʾ̄in Qur’an : NATHANIEL MILLER Abstract The term israʾ̄, based on the first verse of surā , is typically rendered as ‘Night Journey’. There is little compelling evidence that this was the original meaning of the Qur’anic text, and medieval lexico- graphers and exegetes preserved a number of alternative meanings, such as that asrāwas a denominal verb meaning ‘to travel through the uplands (al-sarah)̄’. Another explanation is that asrāis a denominal verb of the noun sariyya (pl. sarayā),̄ a military expedition. By drawing on early historiographical descrip- tions of sarayā̄and South Arabian inscriptions, which give evidence that the word sariyya is of Sabaic origin, the Qur’anic meaning of asrāwas evidently something like ‘to send on a royal expedition’. Early Islamic Arabic poetic texts also offer extremely compelling evidence that the first Muslims were familiar with some of the key concepts of South Arabian royal authority as they appear in Sabaic inscriptions. Keywords: Jahiliyya;̄ poetry; Sabaic; al-Waqid̄ ı;̄ Quran; Night Journey . Introduction Any consideration of the israʾ̄narrative, usually translated as Muḥammad’s ‘Night Journey’ from Mecca to Jerusalem, must begin by taking account of its ‘one disadvantage’ that ‘none of this was at first glance to be found in the Scripture itself’, as Josef van Ess puts it, with reference to both Q. : and Q. :–.1 In Ibn Isḥaq̄’s early Sırānarrative, the israʾ̄ (based on Q. :) denotes the Prophet’s journey in the company of the angel Gabriel to Jerusalem, where he meets Abraham, Moses and Jesus.2 The miʿraj̄(based on Q.

  • A Response to Patricia Crone's Book 3 in the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
    A Response to Patricia CroneCrone''''ss Book (Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam) By Dr. Amaal Muhammad Al-Roubi A Response to Patricia Crone's Book 3 In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Introduction Patricia Crone's book Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam , Oxford, 1987 grabbed my attention, because it tackled an era connected with "The History of the Arabs before Islam", a course I am teaching to female students at the Department of History, King Abdul-Aziz University, Jeddah. It is noteworthy that when I started reading through this book, I was really shocked by what I read between the lines and even overtly. What shocked me is that some things were clear, but others were grossly incorrect and hidden behind a mask of fake historical research, the purposes of which are obvious for every professional researcher. Therefore, as a scholar in the field, it was necessary for me to respond to this book so that readers will not be deceived and misguided by the great errors introduced to them under the guise of historical research or scholarship. Crone is an orientalist who raised somewhat clever questions, but her answers were misleading. Most of the time, she deliberately used documented and logical coordination in order to prove the opposite of what has already been proven to be correct. It is a well-known fact that the easiest way to pass an illogical issue and to make readers swallow it is to begin by an assumption which looks logical and persuasive, but is in fact essentially void.

  • Arab / Islamic Concept of Intelligence in the Case of Fatah Paramilitary
    ARAB / ISLAMIC CONCEPT OF INTELLIGENCE IN THE CASE OF FATAH PARAMILITARY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Abdulaziz Abdullah Al-Asmari Department of Politics and History May 2009 Abstract This thesis provides a composite picture of the Islamic concept of intelligence traces the historical roots of Islamic intelligence activities and explains the (Ideological) relationship between the Islamic religion and the intelligence concept adhered to by modern Arab and Islamist paramilitary groups. Special reference is made to Fatah movement which has been taken up as a case study. The thesis shows that the two main sources of Islam (the Quran and the Sunnah) provided the regulative codes of practice towards intelligence activities. Prophet Muhammad‘s intelligence tradition offers the ideal model that the Arab / Islamic paramilitary groups emulate. Referring to the Islamic roots, the research seeks to point out that the hallmarks of the Islamic intelligence concept which emerged from the Quran and Prophet Mohammed‘s tradition, became the framework that accommodated ‗Arab / Islamic modern paramilitary intelligence activities‘, such as Fatah‘s. The thesis uses the modern concept of the intelligence to identify the ancient activities and compares data process within the intelligence cycle. The range of activities is broad: clandestine collection, counterintelligence, analysis and dissemination, and covert action. It also introduces the Arab intelligence tradecraft such as the uses of safe houses, methods of communication, secrecy and concealments...etc. This thesis also aims to correct the perception that Arab intelligence concept developed after the emergence and expansion of the Islamic Empire. i Acknowledgements Foremost, I would like to gratefully thank my supervisor Dr.
