Who were Gog and Magog? 149 The Third is about Jesus (PUH) coming at the end of time and killing the Dajjal. 151 A reply about two of the Five Hidden Things. 152 The reply to a question about man’s ten subtle faculties. 155 THE SEVENTEENTH FLASH consists of fifteen notes taken from Bediuzzaman’s work entitled Zühre:. 157 The First Note shows the reality of those things which captivate the human soul, severance from which turns man’s face to eternity. 158 The Second Note describes the Qur’anic principle of humility. 158 The Third Note illustrates with a comparison the true face of death and life. 159 The Fourth Note demonstrates that as it is generally the divine practice to restore and return things exactly the same, man, the perfect fruit of the universe, will be returned at the Last Judgement. 159 The Fifth Note reveals by means of a comparison with Qur’anic guidance, the true face of Western civilization. Making believers feel repugnance towards it, this Notes offers remedies from the pharmacy of the Qur’an. 160 8 The Sixth Note unmasks the satanic wile of shaking believers in their faith due to the numerous unbelievers and their agreement in denying some of the truths of belief. 166 The Seventh Note silences those pseudo-patriots who drive Muslims towards Western-type progress, greed, and worldly ambition, and offers Qur’anic cures to any looking towards apostasy or who have fallen into sin. 168 The Eighth Note demonstrates how in His munificence, Almighty God has included a reward and pleasure in all activity and striving. 170 The Ninth Note explains that the Prophets contain the reality of man, the seed of the universe, and that by following them in worship, man may attain to perfection and happiness. The phrase “God is Most Great!” repeated in the Friday and Festival Prayers is as though uttered by the globe of the earth. 174 The Tenth Note: Three sorts of evidences and proofs of knowledge of God, and the correct approaches to these. 175 The Eleventh Note points out the compassion in the Qur’an’s manner of address, and its naturalness. 176 The Twelfth Note: A supplication illustrating a meaning of the Hadith “Die before you die” 177 The Thirteenth Note: Five matters that have been the cause of confusion: The First: Strivers in the way of truth should think only of their own duties and not meddle in God’s concerns. 178 The Second: Worship of God should look only to the divine command and divine pleasure. 180 The Third: On the meaning of “Happy is the man who knows his limits and does not exceed them.” 180 The Fourth explains that it is not permissible to accept bounties not given in the True Bestower’s name, and demonstrates the true nature of apparent causes. 182 The Fifth: The achievements of a community should not be ascribed to its leader or master. 183 The Fourteenth Note consists of four signs alluding to divine unity: First Sign: Man’s true object of worship and place of recourse can only be the One whose rule extends over the earth and the heavens. 184 9 Second Sign: Man’s intense innate love of immortality should be not for the mirror of his being, but for the manifestation of the Enduring One of Glory in the mirror. 185 Third Sign: The tip of a vast truth warning man, for although he is created with a capacity suitable to eternal life, he sometimes becomes entrapped in minute matters, due to the caprice of the soul. 185 Fourth Sign: Worldly life and the life of the flesh are like a narrow grave. On entering the life of the heart and spirit, one enters a broad sphere of life, and the key to this world is “There is no god but God!” 186 The Fifteenth Note depicts the maximum manifestation of the divine name of Preserver. 187 THE EIGHTEENTH FLASH has been published in Sikke-i Tasdik-i Gaybî (The Ratifying Stamp of the Unseen) and in hand-duplicated editions of Lem’alar (The Flashes).

  • Is Any Benefit Prohibited in Islam?
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Is any benefit prohibited in Islam? Abozaid, Abdulazeem Qatar Foundation 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/92523/ MPRA Paper No. 92523, posted 21 Mar 2019 09:41 UTC IS ANY BENEFIT FROM A LOAN PROHIBITED IN ISLAM? Abdulazeem Abozaid Qatar Foundation Abstract It is a well-established rule in the Shariah (Islamic law) that a loan contract is of a charitable nature and as such the lender may not stipulate any excess or benefit from the borrower. However, it is also known in the Shariah that if the benefit from a loan comes to the lender voluntarily and it is not stipulated in the loan contract then it is permissible. This exception derives from some reports that the Prophet used to repay his debt with some increment, and to this effect he said: "The best amongst you are those who benevolently repay their debts”. Moreover, within Islamic law there exist some juristic opinions allowing the lenders to derive some indirect benefits from the loan contract, such as stipulating that the repayment of the debt is to be made in a place different from the one where the loan was first initiated, as this may save transfer costs and effort, or in utilizing, with conditions, the assets mortgaged against the loan. These exceptions may in principle nullify the general understanding that “any loan which results in a benefit is considered a form of usury” in Islam. The paper comes to define the prohibited benefits on a loan in Islam, thereby building the basis for addressing important questions, such as: i) are reciprocal loans prohibited in Islam? ii) is repaying the loan with excess to cater for inflation lawful? iii) is the benefit that pertains to the lender and does not harm or burden the borrower lawful? Answering these questions shall help set out the parameters for what constitutes unlawful benefits obtainable from a loan contract.

  • Muhammad Speaking of the Messiah: Jesus in the Hadīth Tradition
    MUHAMMAD SPEAKING OF THE MESSIAH: JESUS IN THE HADĪTH TRADITION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Fatih Harpci (May 2013) Examining Committee Members: Prof. Khalid Y. Blankinship, Advisory Chair, Department of Religion Prof. Vasiliki Limberis, Department of Religion Prof. Terry Rey, Department of Religion Prof. Zameer Hasan, External Member, TU Department of Physics © Copyright 2013 by Fatih Harpci All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Much has been written about Qur’ānic references to Jesus (‘Īsā in Arabic), yet no work has been done on the structure or formal analysis of the numerous references to ‘Īsā in the Hadīth, that is, the collection of writings that report the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. In effect, non-Muslims and Muslim scholars neglect the full range of Prophet Muhammad’s statements about Jesus that are in the Hadīth. The dissertation’s main thesis is that an examination of the Hadīths’ reports of Muhammad’s words about and attitudes toward ‘Īsā will lead to fuller understandings about Jesus-‘Īsā among Muslims and propose to non-Muslims new insights into Christian tradition about Jesus. In the latter process, non-Muslims will be encouraged to re-examine past hostile views concerning Muhammad and his words about Jesus. A minor thesis is that Western readers in particular, whether or not they are Christians, will be aided to understand Islamic beliefs about ‘Īsā, prophethood, and eschatology more fully. In the course of the dissertation, Hadīth studies will be enhanced by a full presentation of Muhammad’s words about and attitudes toward Jesus-‘Īsā.

  • Blackest Night / Brightest Day Jumpchain What Is Death in a World
    Blackest Night / Brightest Day Jumpchain What is death in a world like this one? Great heroes and villains alike have tasted the sweet kiss of oblivion, both deserving and not. Yet death has also been defied, and many more have returned to life through circumstance or miracle. Two heroes in particular – Hal Jordan, a Green Lantern of Earth, and Barry Allen, The Flash, both ponder this together as they talk over the gravestone of Bruce Wayne. Both had died and returned to life before. And soon, many more will return as well...but not in a way they or anyone else would expect. Recently, the Green Lantern Corps, a peacekeeping organization created by the self-touted Guardians of the Universe, have been at war with the Sinestro Corps founded by its namesake rogue who fell from grace in the past. As this conflict raged on, other Lantern Corps were discovered or created as all seven colors on the Emotional Spectrum were revealed to the galaxy. But as this conflict and chaos rages on, a prophecy is fulfilled and as the various colors come into battle with each other, a darker force awakens. The Entity of Death, Nekron, acting through the villain Death’s Hand, has prepared to unleash a plague on the entire universe. One that will see the billions of dead across all of creation rise and seek to ravage the living, before extinguishing all life entirely within the Blackest Night. Just as this conversation began, you appear. You are a new or veteran member of one of the existing Lantern Corps...unless you are a Black Lantern, in which you rise from death not long after as the crisis of the Blackest Night begins.

All research procedures in the thesis received the approval of the relevant Ethics/Safety Committees (where required). Mustafa Erdil 23 JULY 2016 Signature: ABSTRACT The aim and objective of this study is to highlight the importance of and the status of hadith in Islam, as well as its relevance and reference to sunnah, the Prophetic tradition and all that this integral source of reference holds in Islam. Furthermore, hadith, in its nature, origin and historical development with its close relationship with the concept of memorisation and later recollection came about after the time of Prophet Muhammad. This study will thus explore the reasons behind the prohibition, in its initial stage, with the authorisation of recording the hadiths and its writing at another time. The private pages of hadith recordings kept by the companions will be sourced and explored as to how these pages served as prototypes for hadith compilations of later generations.

  • An Introduction to Collective Ijtihad (Ijtihad Jama‘I): Concept and Applications
    An Introduction to Collective Ijtihad (Ijtihad Jama‘i): Concept and Applications Aznan Hasan Abstract This article explores the concept of collective ijtihad as a means of determining new judicial judgments. Accordingly, it analyzes the theoretical framework of this kind of ijtihad and its applica- tion by discussing the various institutions that practice it. In gen- eral, this article seeks to present this as a practical mechanism for ascertaining the Shari‘ah’s opinion concerning the Muslim ummah on a variety of current issues. At the outset, it will pre- sent briefly the controversy concerning the closure of the gate of ijtihad, for this kind of ijtihad relies heavily upon our recogni- tion that, throughout the history of Islamic law, jurists have never abandoned the task of ijtihad. The Controversy Surrounding the Theory of the Closure of the Gate of Ijtihad In his introduction, Joseph Schacht asserted that Islamic law is no longer relevant to modern life, due to its inflexibility and consequent inability to meet the constant changes therein. He stated further that the nature of Islamic law’s unchanging principles had inevitably resulted in this situa- tion. At the time of the classical jurists, although the nature of the system was the same, those involved in legal matters found a remedy for Islamic Aznan Hasan has a B.A. (Hons.) from al-Azhar, an M.A. from Cairo University, and is cur- rently working on his Ph.D. in Islamic law at the University of Wales, Lampeter, England.
