  • Inquiry Into the Status of the Human Right to Freedom of Religion Or Belief
    Inquiry into the status of the Human Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief Submission: Inquiry into the status of the human right to freedom of religion or belief This purpose of this submission is to raise the committee’s awareness that Islam: - militates against “the enjoyment of freedom of religion or belief” - incites to “violations or abuses” of religious freedom - is antithetical and inimical to the “protection and promotion of freedom of religion or belief” Any inquiry into “the human right to freedom of religion or belief” which avoids examining arguably the largest global threat to those freedoms would be abdicating its responsibility to fully inform its stakeholders. Whether it is the nine Islamic countries in the top ten of the World Watch List of Christian Persecution(1), crucifix-wearing “Christians in Sydney fac(ing) growing persecution at the hands of Muslim gangs”(2) or the summary execution of those who blaspheme or apostatise(3), Islam, in practice and in doctrine, militates against “the human right to freedom of religion or belief”. The purpose of this submission is not to illustrate “the nature and extent of (Islamic) violations and abuses of this right” [which are well-documented elsewhere(4)] but to draw the committee’s attention to the Islamic doctrinal “causes of those violations or abuses”. An informed understanding of Islam is crucial to effectively addressing potential future conflicts between Islamic teachings which impact negatively on “freedom of religion or belief” and those Western freedoms we had almost come to take for granted, until Islam came along to remind us that they must be ever fought for.

    SHAH WALIULLAH'S CONTRIBUTION TO HADITH LITERATURE A CRITICAL STUDY ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF iortor of f l|tloHopl|i| IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY MUHAMMAD MOSLEH UDDIN UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROF. ABDUL ALI D.LItt. CHAIRMAN. DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2003 ABSTRACT The present work seeks lo investigate and study critically the contribution of Shah Waliuliah Muhaddith Dihiawi to Hadith literature. Shah WaJiuilah bin Abdur Rahim ai-'Umarial-Dihlawi(lil4H,-1176H./i703-1762) was lived in the eighteenth century C.E., an age of down fall of Muslim power, political dissetllement, social degeneration and educational backward- ness and indigence. Shah Waliuliah Dihiawi was an unparalleled Islamic scholar, thinker and reformer in Indian sub-continent. He spent the whole of his life in the service of religion and education and worked for the interest of Muslim-society. His sole anxiety all the time had been to see the Muslims powerful, strong and ruling based upon the Islamic system. He tried all his best to restore the Muslims' power and reform the society and revive the pure religion and establish an accurate and complete Islamic educational system.' Shah Waiiuiiah completed his education under his father Shaikh Abdur Rahim (d.li31H./1718) and other scholars in India and served as the teacher in Rahimiyah Madrasah which was established by his father in Delhi for twelve years. During this long teaching period he studied deep and widely and taught the students different religious and rational subjects, so he got the opportunity to reflect over a variety of issues.

  • Imam 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib
    Publicado en Al-Islam.org (https://www.al-islam.org) Inicio > Inquiries About Shi'a Islam > Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib > Who are the Twelve Leaders? Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib The Noble Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad specifically refer to the leadership of Imam ‘Ali after the Prophet in several incidents. Ghadir Khum This incident took place on the 18th of Dhul Hijjah, the twelfth month of theu Islamic calendar, and has been narrated by 110 companions of the Prophet, 84 members of the following generation (the tabi΄in), and 360 Muslim scholars from all schools of thought. Prophet Muhammad and approximately 114,000 of his companions had performed the farewell Hajj (pilgrimage) and were returning home. That year, during the Hajj, the weather was very hot with the blazing sun taking its toll on the pilgrims. When the Prophet arrived at Ghadir Khum, a marshland crossroads from which all the Muslims from different lands would part on their own ways, the Prophet stopped the caravan at noontime, and waited for those who were behind to arrive and called upon those who had gone ahead to return, for he had received a revelation from Allah which he had to deliver to the people. The revelation read, “O Messenger! Declare what has been revealed to you from Your Lord, and if you do not, then your mission will not have been fully declared, and Allah will protect you from the harm of the people.”1 Then the Prophet spoke a bit before asking the assembly whether he truly had authority over them or not.

  • House of Sorrows (A Translation of Baytul Ahzan)
    Chapter 1 Author’s Biography Shaikh Abbas bin Muhammad Reza al Qummi was born in the year 1294 AH in Qum, Iran. His father Shaikh Muhammad Reza was a merchant and renowned as a pious & religious man. His mother Zainab was a virtuous lady too and had pledged to herself that at the time of feeding the newborn baby, she would not be without ablutions (Wuzu) and would feed the child in a state of cleanliness & purity. She practiced what she said and for two years she fed Abbas in the state of ablutions. Due to this Shaikh Abbas al Qummi would say, "The main reason for my success is due to my mother's blessings, because that respected lady, within possible limits, fed me in a state of cleanliness & purity". Shaikh Abbas progressed so rapidly in acquiring Religious education that he became famous in Qum. He was known as ‘Shaikh Abbas' and was described as a young religious person who had great Islamic knowledge. In other words, the local people of Qum knew that a young boy aged 20 was present in their city who was performing great acts, and apart from in- structive and worthy sermons, he was even compiling books. At the beginning of his 21st year, Shaikh Abbas's first book was published in Qum, and was not only a means of happiness for Shaikh and his neighbours, but he himself thanked Allah (s.w.t.) for this success and tried much harder and wrote many other books.[1] In Qum he gained maximum benefit from the Celebrated Scholar Ayatullah Mirza Muhammad Arbab al Qummi (d.
