  • Qisas Contribution to the Theory of Ghaybah in Twelver Shı
    − QisasAA Contribution to the Theory of Ghaybah in Twelver Shı‘ism QisasAA Contribution to the Theory of Ghaybah in Twelver Shı‘ism− Kyoko YOSHIDA* In this paper, I analyze the role of qisasAA (narrative stories) materials, which are often incorporated into the Twelver Shı‘ite− theological discussions, by focusing mainly on the stories of the al-KhidrA (or al- Khadir)A legend in the tenth and the eleventh century ghaybah discussions. The goal is to demonstrate the essential function that the narrative elements have performed in argumentations of the Twelver Shı‘ite− theory of Imam. The importance of qisasAA materials in promulgating the doctrine of Imamah− in the Twelver Shı‘ism− tended to be underestimated in the previous studies because of the mythical and legendary representations of qisasAA materials. My analysis makes clear that qisasAA materials do not only illustrate events in the sacred history, but also open possibilities for the miraculous affairs to happen in the actual world. In this sense, qisasAA materials have been utilized as a useful element for the doctrinal argumentations in the Twelver Shı‘ism.− − Keywords: stories, al-Khidr,A occultation, Ibn Babawayh, longevity Introduction In this paper, I analyze how qisasAA traditions have been utilized in the promulgation of Twelver Shı‘ite− doctrine. The term qisasAA (sing. qissah AA ) means narrative stories addressed in the Qur’an− principally. However, it also includes the orated and elaborated tales and legends based on storytelling that flourished in the early Umayyad era (Norris 1983, 247). Their contents vary: archaic traditions spread in the pre-Islamic Arab world, patriarchal stories from Biblical and Jewish sources, and Islamized sayings and maxims of the sages and the ascetics of the day.1 In spite of a variety of the different sources and origins, Muslim faith has accepted these stories as long as they could support and advocate the Qur’anic− *Specially Appointed Researcher of Global COE Program “Development and Systematization of Death and Life Studies,” University of Tokyo Vol.

  • Fatimah Bint Al-Khattab the Sister of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (May Allah Be Pleased with Them)
    Lessons From the Lives of the Sahabiyaat (Lesson 4) Fatimah bint al-Khattab The Sister of Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them) A Woman of High Status One of the excellent qualities of Fatimah bint al-Khattab is that her story is always mentioned whenever the story of her brother, Umar's Islam is narrated. She was the sister of Umar and the wife if Sa'eed ibn Zayd (radhiAllahu anhu), a great Companion and one of the ten who were given the glad tiding of Paradise. It is enough an honor and glory for her and her husband, that Allah make them the cause of Umar's acceptance of Islam. Allah guides whomever He wants to the straight path. The story of Umar’s Embracing Islam Umar was sitting down in the company of some Qurayshi chiefs chatting away in the courtyard of the Ka`bah. They were troubled with the spread of Muhammad's call, the increase in the rank of his followers and their steadfastness and audacity in making fool of the Qurayshi idols like al-Lat, al-'Uzza, al-Manat and others. 'Umar became extremely enraged. He stood up from the gathering and decided then and there to kill Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and spare the Quraysh the embarrassment that his religion had caused them and the havoc it had wreaked upon their unity where members of the same family had become disunited. On his way to the Prophet's place, a man from Banu Makhzum met him and perceived the rage in his face.

    Alevism-Bektashism From Seljuks to Ottomans and Safavids; A Historical Study ALEVISM-BEKTASHISM FROM SELJUKS TO OTTOMANS AND SAFAVIDS; A HISTORICAL STUDY Bir Tarih Araştırması: Selçuklardan Osmanlılara Kadar Alevilik- Bektaşilik’ Eine historische Untersuchung über das Alevitentum-Bektaschitum von der Seldschuckischen bis zu Osmanischen Periode Fahimeh Mokhber DEZFOULI* Alevi-Bektashi is one of the significant orders which was formed in Anatolia in 13th AD. Haj Bektash Veli, as the founder of the order, migrated to Anatolia from the focal point of Sufism, Khorasan. Probably Haj Bektash Veli was the caliph of Baba Elyas Khorasani, who was the leader of the Baba’i uprising that shook the foundations of the Seljuks in Anatolia in the first half of the 13th century. Eventually, the Seljuks could defeat them by the Frankish forces aid. Loss of his brother in the battle was enough for Haj Bektash to avoid a new military confrontation with the Seljuks, however, followed the intellectual path of the Baba’is in the rest of his life. Many factors such as the religious beliefs of Turks in the pre-Islamic era, the prevailing Sufi thoughts in Anatolia and Christianity affected the Bektashis during their long history. The backbone of the order was the cultural and religious tolerance that found several adherents in Anatolia. In Ottoman era Bektashiya became the official order that spiritually led the Jannissaries. Alevi-Bektashi also was influenced by other streams of thoughts such as Hurufis and the shi’i propaganda of the Safavid sheikhs. This article by historical approach examine the formation of Alevi-Bektashi order and clarifies how they were influenced and then had their impact on the history of Iran and Turkey.

  • Islam: Faith, Practice & History
    Chapter 1 Preface In the name of Allāh, the Beneficent, the Merciful O Allāh, send Your blessings upon Muhammad & his Progeny The book in your hand is an introductory treatise on Islamic beliefs, laws and ethics as well as the early history of the faith in fifty lessons. These lessons were part of the Islamic Correspondence Course that I compiled, wrote and edited for the Islamic Education and Information Centre, Toronto, in the early nineties. The course consists of three parts: Part I (twenty lessons) on Islamic theology outlines the basic beliefs of the faith; followed by Part II (fifteen lessons) on Islamic jurisprudence explaining the spiritual and financial issues as well as the social and familial aspects of life; it concludes with Part III (fifteen lessons) on the brief history of the first three centuries covering the lives of the Prophet Muhammad, his daughter, Fātima, and the Twelve Imams of Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them all). Each lesson is followed by a question paper. Besides my own writings, the sources used in preparing this course have been duly mentioned at the end of each lesson. Nonetheless, I would like to acknowledge here the writings of my late father ‘Allāmah Sayyid Saeed Akhtar Rizvi, the board of writers of Dar Rāh-e Haqq Insti- tute (Qum, Iran), the late ‘Allāmah S.M. Husayn Tabātabā’i, and Ayatullāh Nāsir Makārim Shirāzi. I also would like to thank Br. Haider Ali Khoja, a lecturer at Humber College, for preparing the question pa- pers for the initial lessons which helped me in preparing questions for the remaining lessons in the same pattern.

  • Transnational and Cosmopolitan Forms of Islam in the West Karen Leonard
    Harvard Middle Eastern and Islamic Review 8 (2009), 176–199 Transnational and Cosmopolitan Forms of Islam in the West Karen Leonard Transnational forms of religions—in this case, Islam—are not new. As Richard Eaton and many others have written, Islam and Muslims have long constituted a “world system.”1 Muslims were, in interactions and aspirations, moving across linguistic and political borders long before there were modern nation-states.2 Even though current deªnitions of transnationalism rest on the existence of nation-states, modern nations actually work against transnationalism by producing tensions that chal- lenge and weaken efforts to establish and maintain transnational con- nections. In this article, I argue that transnational forms of Islam are inevita- bly engaged in losing struggles, particularly in North America and Eu- rope.3 Although only a few years ago, such writings were rare, some scholars of Islam in Europe are beginning to write about European Is- lam or Euro-Islam, about Swedish or Norwegian Islam, and about Euro- Muslims, Swedish Muslims, and so on.4 In North America, Muslims and scholars who previously resisted the phrase American Islam are now accepting it and imbuing it with meanings beyond a simple politi- cal claim on the United States or Canada. American forms of Islam can be discerned as the forms of Islam in the West become strongly cosmo- politan rather than transnational. In examining transnational and cosmopolitan Islamic movements in the West, much depends on the deªnitions employed. I am using spe- ciªc deªnitions of transnationalism and cosmopolitanism rather than the broad deªnitions that were presented in works published in the 1990s on primarily economic migrants (people moving from their homelands to other societies and linking two or more societies).5 Steven Vertovec employs a similarly broad deªnition in an essay on diaspora, transnationalism.

  • VOICES of TURKISH POETS ∗ Figun DİNÇER
    Uluslararası Sosyal Araştırmalar Dergisi The Journal of International Social Research Cilt: 10 Sayı: 53 Volume: 10 Issue: 53 www.sosyalarastirmalar.com Issn: 1307-9581 http://dx.doi.org/10.17719/jisr.20175334101 IN RESPONSE TO THE WESTERN IMAGE OF THE OPPRESSED TURKISH WOMAN: VOICES OF TURKISH POETS ∗ Figun DİNÇER Abstract This paper interprets reflections on women in some poems of the prominent Turkish poets such as Gülten Akın, Şukufe Nihal Başar, Naciye Baci, Ayten Mutlu, Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Nazım Hikmet, Kul Figani, Basri Baba and Pir Hacı Bektaş Veli in response to the Western image of the oppressed Muslim woman in Turkey. A close examination of their poetic representations of women enables us to rethink the status of women in Turkish society within a poetic context. The subordination/oppression of women seems to be universal, and the female poets generally express this issue. However, in contrast, some male poets do not reflect women as oppressed or subordinated, but as having a great awareness of their existence, importance and value both in the family and society. From the religious perspective, unlike the female poets’ feelings, they defend women against the religious mistreatments and malpractices towards them. For example, Kul Figani, Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Basri Baba and Pir Haci Bektaş Veli re-emphasize the valuable statuses of women as stated in the holy book Quran. Nazim Hikmet’s voice for the position of women is explored in the rural domain. The aim of the present study is to show that while female poets have been addressing Muslim women’s issues in Turkey, there are also male poets who seem to be supporting women by arguing that they should be treated as equal based on religious, social and economic perspectives.

  • Fatimah in Nusantara Sari 23 (2005) 137 - 152 137
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by UKM Journal Article Repository Fatimah in Nusantara Sari 23 (2005) 137 - 152 137 Fatimah in Nusantara WENDY MUKHERJEE ABSTRAK Tokoh Fatimah, anak Nabi Muhammad, isteri kepada Ali bin Abi Talib dan ibu Hasan dan Husain adalah contoh unggul tradisional bagi wanita Muslim. Dari segi politik, Fatimah adalah anak keturunan Nabi dan ibu kepada imam-imam mazhab Shi’ah. Beliau juga disanjung sebagai contoh kerohanian kerana sifat penyayang dan belas kasihan kepada orang di sekitarnya. Sehubungan itu, banyak teks manuskrip Melayu dan Indonesia mempunyai cerita tentangnya. Teks-teks itu ditulis semasa Islam disebarkan ke Kepulauan Melayu sehingga bermulanya tradisi cetak pada sekitar tahun 1920. Rencana ini akan menceritakan perkembangan teks-teks mengenai Fatimah di Nusantara. Kata kunci: Fatimah, etika wanita, sastera manuskrip, Shisme, Islam ABSTRACT Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet, wife of Ali and mother of Hasan and Husain presents the perfect traditional model of a Muslim woman. Politically, she continued the Prophet’s blood line and is the mother of the imams of Shi’ism. She is also held up as a spiritual example for her virtues of patience and compassion to those around her. Most Islamic manuscript literatures of Malaysia and Indonesia contain texts which tell of these virtues. The texts entered the archipelago with Islam itself and were preserved up to the beginning of print culture around 1920. This article describes the history of texts dealing with Fatimah in Nusantara. Key words: Fatimah, women’s ethics, manuscript literature, Shi’ism, Islam The traditional ideal of the virtuous woman is a broad cultural discourse in the Malay-Indonesian archipelago which has been identified but not yet explored for its own sake (Andaya 1993: 24-29).
