  • Mecca and Its Cube
    Mecca And Its Cube November 7, 2019 Category: Religion Download as PDF [Author’s note: Mohammed of Mecca is denoted “MoM”.] As legend has it, at some point in the late 5th century, a Sabaean leader known as Amr ibn Luhay ibn Qamah ibn Khindaf led a band of (Qahtanite) Arabs a thousand kilometers north of his homeland, Himyar (modern-day Yemen) to settle somewhere in the barren deserts of Thamud: the western region of Arabia now known as the Hijaz. His clan, the Banu Khuza’a, may have hailed from any of three major Himyarite cities: Zafar, Najran, or Ma’rib (present-day Sana’a). A bit of historical context helps to paint the picture. In Zafar, there was a (Qahtanite) cubic shrine known as the “kaaba” at Tabalah. There was another kaaba located at Jabal Taslal in Najran. And there were major temples at Barran and Awwam in Ma’rib–all dedicated to the Sabaean moon-god, “Al-Makah”. Sure enough, the Banu Azd of Marib worshipped “Al-Makah”; and made pilgrimages to his temple. Some of the Banu Harith converted to Christianity; and built a church at Najran (known as the “Kaaba of Najran”). Meanwhile, many Himyarites worshipped the godhead, “Rahman” (Semitic for “Merciful”). Some of these locutions should sound oddly familiar. The question arises: From whence did such pre-Islamic memes come? We find a possible answer in Ibn Hisham’s recension of Ibn Ishaq’s “Sirah”. (Ibn Hisham was himself of Himyarite descent.) According to the famed Islamic hagiographer: At some point, Amr ibn Luhay ventured farther north, into Nabataea, and was inspired by the Nabataean traditions…which he brought back with him to his settlement in the Hijaz.

  • War and Peace in Pre-Islamic Arabic Poetry
    WAR AND PEACE IN PRE-ISLAMIC ARABIC POETRY MARISA FARRUGIA Abstract- Tribal conflicts, raids and vengeance were the raison d'etre ofpagan Arab Bedouin life. However others preferred 'milk' than 'blood'. These themes are well depicted in pre-Islamic Arabic poetry. This paper seeks to explain the motives of the Bedouins' battles as illustrated in their oral poetry together with peace as the theme. Introduction We whirled as the millstone whirls on its axis While our swords smashed upon the fighters' skulls (Antara) .1 If we achieve peace broad and sure by ample Giving and fair speaking shall live secure (Zuhayr). 2 The purpose of this paper is to examine the element of war and peace in the pre­ Islamic Arabic poetry, mainly in the Mu'allaqat. In the first part of the essay I will attempt to illustrate and explain the significance of battles in the Bedouin life style, and so the following questions shall be dealt with: how did the theme of war evolve in poems and why did the poets sing of war in this way? Somewhat paradoxically, the theme regarding peace shall also be analysed in the poems. Finally a historical and literary evaluation of these themes shall be offered. In order to understand the theme of war in these poems, one must be knowledgeable about the structure of the Bedouin Arab society in the Arabian Peninsula during the Jiihiliyyah or pre-Islamic period (500 A.D. to 622 AD.). During this period the inhabitants of Arabia fell into two main groups: nomadic Bedouins and the urban folk, the latter group residing mainly in the Southwest of Arabia.

  • The Conquest of Makkah - Ramadhaan 8 A.H
    The Conquest of Makkah - Ramadhaan 8 A.H. At the time when the peace treaty was signed at Hudaybiyah between Rasulullah and the Quraysh, then in accordance with the conditions that were written down, the different tribes were given the choice of joining either of the two parties (of the peace treaty). Consequently, the Banu Bakr joined the Quraysh while the Banu Khuzaa‘ah joined Rasulullah . Both these tribes were at each other’s throats since pre-Islamic times. The reason for this was that Maalik ibn ‘Abbaad Hadrami went into the lands of the Banu Khuzaa‘ah with his trading goods. The Banu Khuzaa‘ah killed him and stole all his wealth and possessions. When the Banu Bakr got the opportunity, they killed a member of the Banu Khuzaa‘ah tribe in exchange for Maalik Hadrami. In retaliation for this one person, the Banu Khuzaa‘ah then killed three members of the Banu Bakr tribe. The three were leaders by the names of Dhuwayb, Sulami and Kulsoom. They were killed in the plains of ‘Arafaat, very close to the boundaries of the Haram (the sanctified sanctuary of Makkah). This killing and counter killing continued from pre-Islamic times till the advent of Islam. With the advent of Islam, it stopped because the people were more occupied with Islamic affairs. On account of a limited peace treaty that was signed in Hudaybiyyah, the two groups now felt safe from each other and fearless of each other. The Banu Bakr now found the opportunity to give vent to their enmity. Naufal ibn Mu’aawiyah from the Banu Bakr together with his friends attacked the Khuzaa‘ah.

  • Treaties During the Time of the Prophet Dr. Ragheb El-Sergany
    Treaties during the time of the Prophet Dr. Ragheb el-Sergany The idea of having treaties, negotiations and coexistence with the polytheists was not far from the Prophet's (SAWS) mind nor strange to him. Many analysts would think that it is strange because the polytheists’ ideology is completely different than the Islamic creed. That is why many people would think the concept of coexistence between both communities is impossible. The facts about the Prophet's (SAWS) life show his true wish to coexist peacefully with communities around him no matter what their creed was. He wished to coexist even with worshippers of idols, stars, trees or anything else. The most important type of peaceful coexistence is in the form of treaties, conventions and even alliances at times for the sake of achieving an interest for common cause. That concept, built on the love and design of peace, was not a result of experiencing the scourges of wars or disasters of battles. It was a result of the philosophy of the Prophet (SAWS) which he was keen to implement from the emergence of the Islamic state. Books about the Prophet's (SAWS) biography refer to numerous treasured examples of treaties and alliances. One of them was the treaty which the Prophet (SAWS) signed with the tribe of Banu- Damorah[1], whose leader at the time was Makhshy Ibn-Amr al-Damory. It was narrated[2] that the Prophet (SAWS) "reconciled" them. We should take a closer look at the meaning of reconciliation[3] and how that word holds great meanings such as peace, serenity, tranquility and safety.

  • Socio-Political and Religious Implications of the Islamic Mission of the Prophet Muhammad (Saw.) During His Makkan Phase
    SOCIO-POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS IMPLICATIONS OF THE ISLAMIC MISSION OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SAW.) DURING HIS MAKKAN PHASE SUMMARY Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Bottor of pi)tlo£fopI)2> IN SUNNI THEOLOGY BY ISRAR AHMAD KHAN Under the supervision of Dr. IQBAL HASAN KHAN DEPARTMENT OF SUNNI THEOLOGY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1990 IN THE NAMK OF ALT.AH^ THE BENSFICEKT, THE MERCIFUL INTRODUCTION The Prophet Muharrcnad (S.A.W.) emigrated to Madinah in the year 622 C.E. He established a full-fledged Islamic society and State there. This is an irrefutable event of human history. A majority of orientalists is of the view that this Madani phase of the Prophet (S.A.W.) was totally a political phase having :io connection with his previous Da'wah in Makkah before Hijrah, They argue that the Kakki period of the Prophet experienced religious and spiritual preaching while the Haoani period of ten years was dominated by political activities. They also allege that the Prophet was simply a reformer in Makkah but a political and military leader in Madinah. The truth is that most of the writings of the western scholars are parts of the Zionists * design against Islam and Muslims. Sirah books authored by orienta- lists served well the Zionism. They influenced tte Muslim minds also to a very great extent. Many a Muslim scholars to say nothing of laymen* believe that the organization of government and state after Hijrah was not a part of the Prophet's mission but it was a God-gifted reward for the steadfastness of the Prophet and his follwers on Islamic beliefs and deeds in Makkah.

  • The Historical Roots of the Mhallami Arabs in Turkey As a Subject of Debate
    Cilt: 13 Sayı: 70 Nisan 2020 & Volume: 13 Issue: 70 April 2020 www.sosyalarastirmalar.com Issn: 1307 - 9581 Doi Number: http://dx.doi.org/10.17719/jisr.2020.4086 THE HISTORI CAL ROOT S OF THE MHALLAMI ARABS IN TURKEY AS A SUBJECT OF DEBATE Abdülbaki BOZKURT Abstract Mhallami s , who are the significant part of the Arabs of Turkey , constitute a signific ant part of Turkey, predominantly live in Mardin province’s Midyat city and its surroundings. Although the exact date of their settlement in this area is unknown, sources indicate the 5 th century. It is understood that the Mhallami, who apparently descend from Banu Shaybanid branch of Rabi'a tribe, acted with the Arabs following the spread of Islam in the region. Despite describing themselves as Arabs, they have been associated with diff erent ethnic groups such as Kurds or Assyrians from time to time. In this study, ethnic origins, beliefs, the tribe of which they are a member and some cultural characteristics were discussed. Keywords: The Mhallami, Rabi'a, Shaybanid, Midyat, Assyrian, Tur Abdin . INTRODUCTION The Mhallami is among the oldest known ethnic groups in Turkey. It is predicted that their ancestors settled in Anatolia by starting in the early periods of the middle ages. The fact that they did not leave any original writin gs behind that would enlighten the process of settlement and the following early periods made gathering information about them more difficult. It can be assumed that this was historical negligence; however, rather than intentional negligence, it also must have been caused by the nomadic lifestyle of the Mhallami.

  • Ansar's Role in the Suppression of Apostates in the Era of Caliphate of Abu Bakr
    J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res., 1(12)2501-2510, 2011 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2011, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com Ansar's Role in the Suppression of Apostates in the Era of Caliphate of Abu Bakr Ebrahim Khorasani Parizi1,* 1 PhD, Department of History, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, Baft Branch, Islamic Azad University, Baft, Iran ABSTRACT The news of the Prophet's demise has not yet prevailed over the Arabian Peninsula when in many areas certain reations were formed. Although the incentive and those reactions were different in nature, most sources have not considered the Raddeh persecution as the rebellion of apostates. Those riots did not survive long, for Abu Bakr was able to dispatch a troop to quell them down. The Ansar's attitude and measurements at Raddeh Battle, as of the effective groups in the events in the advent of beginning of Islam, can be of great. Importance in clarifying some parts of those occurances. Because the Ansar could play a great role to suppress the apostates including the Battle of Yamameh, in which they had an important function. They were also present in that battle whit the name and brand of Ansar, where they had a distinguished banner and emblem. They were also against the racial and tribal title. This paper seeks to study the Ansar's role in suppressing the apostates as well as considering their attitude and partiality in those events. Regarding the Battle of Yamameh and the defeating of the Musaylimeh, the Ansar's function in that battle is more carefully observed.

  • The Use of Force Under Islamic Law
    The European Journal of International Law Vol. 24 no. 1 © The Author, 2013. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of EJIL Ltd. All rights reserved. For Permissions, please email: [email protected] The Use of Force under Islamic Law Niaz A. Shah* Downloaded from Abstract http://ejil.oxfordjournals.org/ This article focuses on the use of force under Islamic law, i.e., jus ad bellum. Islamic law allows the use of force in self-defence and in defence of those who are oppressed and unable to defend themselves. In contrast, the offensive theory of jihad is untenable. Muslim states follow the defensive theory of jihad. Islamic law also allows, under certain conditions, antici- patory self-defence. Only the head of a Muslim state (a ruler or caliph) is allowed to declare jihad. Most of the current so-called declarations of jihad have been issued by non-state actors, e.g. Al-Qaeda, who have no authority to declare jihad. These declarations thus have no valid- ity under Islamic law and, indeed, Muslim states are fighting these armed groups. Islamic at Columbia University Libraries on April 28, 2013 law imposes certain restrictions on the use of force in self-defence, i.e., military necessity, distinction, and proportionality. Accepting an offer of peace and humanity are also relevant conditions. This article investigates the use of force under Islamic law. It specifically examines the question of when it is justified to resort to the use of force, namely the jus ad bel- lum of Islamic law. Two other questions, naturally related to this central question, are: what are the limitations on the use of force and when should the use of force end? We argue that Islamic law allows the use of force in self-defence only, and that the offensive theory of jihad (the offensive use of force) is untenable.
