The Dhimmis and Their Role in the Administration of the Fatimid State
International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 6, No. 2; February 2016 The Dhimmis and their Role in the Administration of the Fatimid State Dr. Saleh Kharanbeh Lecturer of Arabic language and Islamic studies Ohalo College of Education Israel Dr. Muhammad Hamad Lecturer of Arabic language and literature Al- Qasemi College of Education Israel Abstract One of the most recurring questions today is the Islamic state's relationship with the dhimmis (Jews and Christians living under early Muslim rule) and their status in the early days of Islam and up to the late days of the Islamic Caliphate. This relationship may have been varying, swinging up and down. Perhaps the more legitimate questions are: What were the factors that affected the nature of the Dhimmis relationship with the ruling power in the Islamic state? What was the status of the Dhimmis and what roles did they play in the early Islamic states, with the Fatimid Caliphate as a model? The Fatimid Caliphate rose up and centered in Egypt, which was then home for Coptic Christians and Jews, living side by side with Muslims. That is why the author has chosen the Fatimid State, in specific. Another driver for this selection is the fact that when the Fatimid Caliphate was ruling in Egypt, the Europeans were launching their Crusades in Jerusalem, which placed such a relationship between Muslims and Christians at stake. Keywords: The Dhimmis, Fatimid State, Islamic history, Islamic civilization. 1. Internal factors in the Dhimmis relationship with the Fatimid Caliphate The caliphs’ young age was one of the factors that contributed to strengthening the relationship between the Dhimmis and the ruling power. -
Chapters on the Prophetic Visitation1 ‘Allamah Zafar Ahmad Al-‘Uthmani Translation by Zameelur Rahman
Chapters on the Prophetic Visitation1 ‘Allamah Zafar Ahmad al-‘Uthmani Translation by Zameelur Rahman Chapter on Visiting the Grave of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) before or after Hajj2 1. Narrated from Musa ibn Hilal al-‘Abdi from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Umar from Nafi‘ from Ibn ‘Umar (Allah, Exalted is He, be pleased with them), he said: Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: ِ َم ْن َزاَر قَ ْبِري َوَجبَ ْت لَهُ َشَفا َعتي “Whoever visits my grave, my intercession becomes necessary for him.” Al-Daraqutni transmitted it. His narrations agree in a number of reliable copies of his Sunan and likewise in other than the Sunan from [al-Qadi al- Husayn ibn Isma‘il] al-Mahamili [with his chain] from ‘Ubayd Allah [ibn ‘Umar] in the diminutive (musaghghar) [i.e. ‘Ubayd Allah and not ‘Abd Allah].3 Al-Bayhaqi narrated it from other than al-Mahamili through the route of Muhammad ibn Zanjawayh al-Qushayri: ‘Ubayd ibn Muhammad ibn al- Qasim ibn Abi Maryam al-Warraq narrated to us: Musa ibn Hilal al-‘Abdi narrated to us from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Umar from Nafi from ‘Ibn ‘Umar (Allah, Exalted is He, be pleased with them) the hadith. Thus, the narration of ‘Ubayd ibn Muhammad, who is trustworthy, is established in the diminutive [i.e. with ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Umar and not ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar]. 1 A note preceding this section says: “From the wondrous fortunes is the drafting of the chapter of visitation [from I‘la’ al-Sunan] and its completion a year and some months before the completion of the chapters of Hajj in the illuminated [city of] Madinah, at the house of my master, our intimate guardian [Mawlana Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri], facing the fragrant Rawdah and the illuminated prophetic mosque; and the writing of the last pages of it in the presence of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) facing him while standing in front him, fearful and apprehensive of his gaze, with trembling hands due to recalling his eminence and loftiness. -

This article examines the role of this government in promoting the objectives of the Shiite. According to historical documents the Shiite rose at time of the Prophet indicating the claim by the Prophet that said: “Shiite are my best people, and they are in heaven”, but the Shiite title was used after the death of the Prophet (PBUH) for those who loved Imam Ali (AS) and followed him until death. Shiites with cultural power and strong intellectual could win fight against the tyranny of the rulers of the time. Meantime, they have migrated across the world due to Abbasid and Umayyad rulers’ oppression leading to Shiite Islam ideas flourishing in the world. They had cultural power and could gradually strengthen its political power and formed governments around the world, one of these states was that Al-Hamdan with a significant role in the development of Shiism. -
The Maladies of the Nafs and Their Remedies: an Analysis And
THE MALADIES OF THE NAFS AND THEIR REMEDIES: AN ANALYSIS AND TRANSLATION by RACHEL KEANE (Under the Direction of Kenneth Honerkamp) ABSTRACT The Maladies of the Nafs and Their Remedies is a 10th century treatise by Abū ʿAbd al- Raḥmān al-Sulamī which sheds further light on his fusion of two early movements in Islamic Spirituality: Sufism and the Malāmatiyyah Way, also known as the Path of Blame. This thesis will analyze the historical context of Sulamī’s work and demonstrate the importance of Malāma- Sufism to the institutionalization of Sufism in Khurasān. The Maladies of the Nafs and Their Remedies provides insight into the unique Malāmatī-Sufi ethic which combines mysticism, asceticism, and the interiorization of piety. The Maladies of the Nafs and Their Remedies primarily addresses the Malāmatiyyah-Sufi perspective on the greatest obstacle to spiritual progress, the nafs, a perspective which continues to influence Sufism today.

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs' if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. -

Ahlu-Sunnah Versus the Ash'ari/Sufi Movement
Courtesy of alalal ---Mustaqeem Publications THE DOCTRINE OF AHLU -SUNNAH VS THE ASH’ARI /SUFI MOVEMENT Radd Alal Mukhalifeen wa Tadheerul Minal Bida al-Ashaa'ira wal Mutassawifa A Refutation against the Successive generations and the Warning from the Innovations of the Ash’aris and the Sufis Undoing the Satanic plots of the Neo-Aristolians Al-Muqaddimmah Praise belongs to God Who has made truth clearly distinct from error, who puts down innovation and innovators and raises high the Sunna of the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, and the people who follow it. Praise belongs to God Who in every century inspires a group of scholarly people to defend the Way of the Prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, from the distortions of the ignorant and the fabrications of the liars, those who accuse the way of the people who strictly restrict themselves upon the consolidated beliefs of the first three generations of Muslims as we were commanded, and who adhere to their methodology in all matters of the religion from adaab, akhlaaq, fiqh, hadeeth, tafseer, aqeedah, and others matters, accuse such a people of being mubtadi, mujassimah, mutashabiha, mutashadidoon, hashawiyyah, mukafireen (those who make takfeer), falsely claiming that their way in aqeedah and the stances that they have taken that had no authentic route to the salafu-saalih, is the saved way, and they are ahlu-sunnah wa taifatul- mansoorah, al firqatu-naajiya. Wa sallallahu alaihi wa mubaraka an Muhammadan wa ala ahlili wa sahbihi ajma’een ama b’ad The reason for this risalah: This article is a direct reply to the rather humorous and radical statements made against ahlu- sunnah under the risalaa entitled “ahlu-sunnah versus the salafi movement” which the name itself is a contradiction against historical precedent and reality itself. -

Fatwa: the Evolution of an Islamic Legal Practice and Its Influence on Muslim Society
FATWA: THE EVOLUTION OF AN ISLAMIC LEGAL PRACTICE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON MUSLIM SOCIETY A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Omer Awass May 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Khalid Blankinship, Advisory Chair, Religion. Dr. Mahmoud Ayoub, Religion. Dr. John Raines, Religion. Dr. Jayasinhji Jhala, External Member, Anthropology. ii © Omer Awass 2014 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the transformation of Islamic legal discourse and the impact of that discourse on Muslim society. More particularly, it analyzes fatwas (religious legal edicts) over the course of Muslim history so as to determine how this legal mechanism was instrumental in the making and remaking of Islamic law and society. Historically speaking, substantive aspects of Islamic law developed out of the material of fatwas. In the very early stages of Islamic history there were no codified laws to guide people in their religious and social concerns, but the manner in which Muslims received guidance with regards to their religious practice was that they posed their concerns to early proto-jurists in the form of religio-legal questions, which these jurists addressed in the form of fatwas. Out of the critical mass of these fatwas, Islamic legal manuals began to be compiled and a definitive corpus of Islamic law came into being. Essentially, my investigation looks at the development and continuing evolution of Islamic law through lens of a particular legal practice: issuance of fatwas. By examining fatwas in different periods of Islamic history from the beginning until today, I chart the transformations that take place in Islamic legal tradition(s) as a result of the encounter with changing socio-historical conditions. -
Current Situation of the Jihadi Movement.Pdf
1 Current Situation of the Jihadi Movement Open Interview With Ahmed Al-Hamdan 2 Foreword بسمميحرلانمحرلا هللا I have written the series titled (Current Situation of the Jihadi Movement) in a discontinuous manner and it continued for a year. Since 1st of April 2017 until the 3rd of April 2018, originally it was a collection of questions and their answers from certain people and I saw the appropriate opportunity to translate and publish these in the English language, and that because the Anglophones – perhaps- lacked the availability of basic references, of which most are in Arabic, and would need it more than those for which the original references suffice and could understand it without translation. Most questions as is very clear were about (The Islamic State), because this group perhaps benefited most from translating their productions and publishing them in the English language, therefor those that speak this language would speak about them more, let alone their expansion and their reach to many jihad arenas, this is what caused that most questions would surround it. I saw it appropriate to collect this subject in one file, especially with the deletion of links of these parts in a systematic and repeated manner. I also liked to note that the reviewers of this subject are many, and not merely a single person, therefor you might see a difference between the translation of one answer and another answer, I also liked to thank the brothers in Al Muwahideen Media whom contributed to the review of a part of this series. And meet you soon in another project In Sha Allah.
