PO BOX 3393 PORT ELIZABETH SOUTH AFRICA 2 Fayslah Kun Munazarah Note by the Translator Fayslah Kun Munazarah , first printed in 1933 CE, in the Urdu language, is a thorough rebuttal of the verdicts of kufr issued against four senior Ulama of the Deobandi School. The baseless, slanderous fatwa of kufr was presented in the book, Husam al- Haramayn of Molvi Ahmad Rida Khan Barelwi. Sufficient details about the book are given in the author’s introduction. Due to the paucity of information on the subject in the English language, many Muslims in the English-speaking world were easily swayed towards the fallacious view propounded in Husam al-Haramayn due to the vigour with which the fatwa is propagated by its English-speaking proponents and the gravity of the allegations made. The book translated here provides a balanced, level- headed, point-by-point critique of the fatwa, demonstrating with complete clarity the deception of the original accusations against the Deobandi elders and their innocence from the heresies ascribed to them.

    QURAN pocket guide § Maulana Wahiduddin Khan Introduction 3 The Word of God 13 An Abiding Wonder 25 The Teachings of the Quran 51 Selections from the Quran 95 2 Introduction The Quran is the Book of God. It has been preserved in its entirety for all time to come. Although written originally in Arabic, it has been made accessible, thanks to translations, to those who have no knowledge of Arabic. While no substitute for the original, translations serve the signal purpose of spreading the word of God far beyond the Arabic-speaking peoples to a far broader spectrum of humanity. The Quran is apparently in the Arabic language, but in reality, it is in the language of nature, that is, the language in which God directly addressed all human beings at the time of Creation. This divine invocation of humanity is ever-present in the consciousness of all human beings, that is why the Quran is universally understandable—to some on a conscious plane, and to others at the subconscious level. This reality has been described in the Quran as ‘clear revelations in the hearts of those who have been given knowledge.’ This verse 3 goes on to say that ‘none deny Our revelations save the wrongdoers’ (29:49). This means that the Divine Reality, explained by the Quran on a conscious plane, pre-exists in man at the level of the subconscious. The message of the Quran is not, therefore, something which is alien to man. It is in fact a verbal expression of that same Divine Reality which is in consonance with man’s own nature and with which he is already familiar.

He competed with philosophers with the power of his knowledge. He was a famous religious scholar of the Abbasi period. During the heyday of Islam, two schools of thought became famous. One school of thought became famous as the Motazilies and the other discipline of thought became known as the Ash'arites. Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari remained a supporter of the Mu'tazilites for forty years. Then there was a disagreement with Mu'tazilah about the issue of value. Imam al-Ghazali is one of the leading preachers of his Ash'arite school of thought. Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari inherited a passion for collecting books. As a child, he used to collect books from his hobby. Sometimes there are very difficult places in the path of knowledge, only a real student can pass through these places safely. He has been remembered by the Islamic world in very high words. There was a student who drank the ocean of knowledge but his thirst was not quenched.

Received 14 June 2021, Accepted 28 July 2021 This research focuses on criticism and praise in Arabic literature, history and poetry towards those in charge of the scientific movement in the Medieval Era. The research method was theoretical and qualitative. Many poets and scholars praised the rulers and sultans who established mosques and other educational institutions (madrasa-s) based on endowments, which had a role in sciences, intellectual and religious renaissance. They were subject to criticism or praise for their work or the educational role they followed. The topics of praise to the ulama centered on, their diligence and dissemination of science, as well as of their behavior and moral manners. On the other hand, the criticism of poetry centered on the mistakes of some scholars, their scientific stances in religious matters and criticizing scholars of the sultans for their attitudes in serving the rulers. Poets were also interested in criticizing scholars (ulama) who moved away from the path of morality, virtue, and shari‘a, and who lead the teaching without qualification or mismanagement of the educational process; and therefore do not preserve the rules of morality in lessons, education or discussions, and their lack of good morals towards students.

  • And We Cast Upon His Throne a Mere Body. a Historiographical Reading of Q
    And We cast upon his throne a mere body. A Historiographical Reading of Q. 38:34 M.O. Klar SOAS, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON The Islamic figure of Solomon is presented in four pericopes of the Qur'an, In Sura 21 {al- Anbiyd') reference is made to an episode where David and Solomon give judgement on a ravaged field, followed by details of David's and Solomon's special gifts - for the latter these were the wind that ran at his command, knowledge of everything and demons that worked for him. In Sura 27 (al-Naml) Solomon and David are mentioned with reference to the gift of knowledge God granted them both, and evidence of their gratitude; Solomon says to his men that he understands the speech of the birds and has been given of every- thing; then follows the story of the Valley of the Ants, and the famous episode between Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, which culminates in the Queen submitting to God, The pericope in Sura 34 (Saba') again introduces Solomon through David and gives details of their special gifts, Solomon's being the wind, molten brass and mastery over the jinn. The concealment of Solomon's death from the jinn is referred to. Finally, in Sura 38 (Sad), again after mention of David, we are told that Solomon's horses were paraded before him, he missed the evening prayer and then either smote or stroked (depending on one's choice of interpretation)' their shanks and necks, and, immediately prior to a list of God's gifts to him (the wind and the jinn), there is ref- erence to God trying Solomon, casting a mere body on Solomon's throne, and to Solomon repenting: Q.

Book : 15. The Qur'an. 015 : 001 : Section 130 Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm that in a letter that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent to Amr ibn Hazm it said that no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pure. Malik said, "No-one should carry the Qur'an by its strap, or on a cushion, unless he is pure. If it were permissible to do so, it would also have been permissible to carry it in its cover. This is not because there is something on the hands of the one who carries it by which the Qur'an will be soiled, but because it is disapproved of for someone to carry the Qur'an without being pure out of respect for the Qur'an, and in order to honour it." Malik said, "The best thing that I have heard about this is the ayat 'None touch it except the purified.' (Sura 56 ayat 79) It ranks with the ayat in Surat Abasa (Sura 80), where Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says, 'No, it is a reminder, and whoever wishes will remember it.

  • IKHTILAF (DIFFERENCE) and TAFAHOM (MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING) in ISLAMIC FIQH (JURISPRUDENCE) CAUSES and ETHICAL REPONSES Mahmoud Abboud Al Harmoush
    IKHTILAF (DIFFERENCE) AND TAFAHOM (MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING) IN ISLAMIC FIQH (JURISPRUDENCE) CAUSES AND ETHICAL REPONSES Mahmoud Abboud Al Harmoush Definitions of ikhtilaf and khilaf ccording to al Raghib al Isfahani’s Mufradat al Qur’an (Qur’anic Terms): “Ikhtilaf (difference) Aand mukhalafah (inconsistency/disagreement) are [terms which apply] when everyone follows a path that is different from the paths followed by everybody else in his situation or speech.” That is to say, they are applicable when there is no clash or discord, though when “ikhtilaf in speech” does occur between people it may entail a conflict, so the word can be applied if there is a dispute or a heated argument. Semantically, ikhtilaf does not convey the meaning of discord and strife. Rather, it describes the situations and mental attitudes of people who are not necessarily in conflict with each other; however, when a person is displeased as a result of a disagreement with another person for some reason or another, this ikhtilaf can become a cause of conflict. Professor of Usul and Fiqh Principles at al Jinan University in Tripoli (Lebanon). 71 IKHTILAF (DIFFERENCE) AND TAFAHOM (MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING) IN ISLAMIC FIQH (JURISPRUDENCE) Al Isfahani adds that “khilaf (also commonly translated in to English as “difference”) is a broader term than dhidd (opposite), because although when two opposites occur there is a ‘difference’, not every ‘difference’ is an ‘opposite’. Black and white are opposites and different, but red and green are different without being opposites.”1 Al Kafawi lists four differences between ikhtilaf and khilaf as follows: “1 – Ikhtilaf applies [in a situation] in which the paths are different, while the intention is that they should be one [and the same].
