And,as an interpreter of this book, I cannot but say that MO'hammad Redha, gave a very good account of the life and activities of Imam Ali, ior whom may Allah's good pleasure is prayed. In addition to his pioneering role in Islam, as the first one te embrace Islam as f-.eliigion, Imam Ali, may Allah honour hirn, offered great sacrifices and fought for the victory of Islam since he was a young and continued to fight deviatioaist trends inside Islam; and he was a true example of the Moslem who devotes hirnself and his life for the religion of Islam and its sublime message. He was raised by the Prophet, to whom may Allah's blessings and peace be granted, and gained from his great morals and manners. He also kept the Prophetie traditions by heart. He was the son in law of the Messenger of Allah's to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted, husband of Fatima, daughter of the Messenger of Allah, and the father of the two pious sons, AI-Husan and AI­ Hussein. Imam Ali, may Allah honours hirn, was austere, ascetic and pious. There qualities are the qualities of great men of religion who care- for the afterworld not for the world, for the pleasure of Allah, the great and the Almighty, not for the pleasure of creatures. All the treasures of the world could not tempt hirn. He remained faithful in the purity of Islam and the truth of the sublime message of the Prophet 5 Mohammed, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted. Imam Ali's mirac1es are known for all Moslems and his courage is also known. He is actually the man of courage and wisdom. Prophet Mohammed, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted, said: "Ali is part ofme and I am part of Ali." And He also said: "I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate." The life of Imam Ali, may peace be upon hirn, was full of energetic and lively events and he was very energetic and lively. He was able to live up to the level of those events to protect Islam from division and disunity. The disputes and conflicts during and before his caliphate and the way with which he dealt them are evidence of his wisdom and care to rescue Islam and Moslems from the dangers that threatened them from the very inside. He never sought division, but unity and cohesion inside Islam and among Moslems. He never sought power for the sake of power, he rather sought to set Islam and Moslems on the right course which is based on both the Glorious Quran and al-Sunna (The prophetie tradition). Imam Ali, may Allah honour hirn, was a true faithful in the message of Islam and a strong advocate of the Quram and prophetie tradition. He believes the faithful is powerful through his deciseveness and leniency, through his belief and conviction; care and knowledge; knowledge and patience, reverence and worshipping, endurance and poverty, patience and hardship, demand in honest manner, activity with righteousness and through shunning greed. "0, son! Make yourself ascale between others and yourself. Like for others as you like for yourself. And hate for others what you hate for yourself. Don't do injustice as you don't like to be done injusticel. This is the recommendation of Imam Ali, may peace be upon hirn, to his sons... This book, which is the book of the fourth orthodox Caliph, is a rich account of events and episodies that show an important period in Islam, It is the period of tragedies and sorrowful developments that tore Moslems and Islam into apart. Imam Ali, may Allah honour hirn, struggled to unite Moslems on the basis of truth and right and he paid his own life for this great cause; as his two sons Al-Hasan and Al- Hussein, for whom may Allah's good pleasure is prayed did after hirn Mohammad Agha 6 In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Introduction Praised be Allah and fnay Allah's Blessings and peace be granted to the Messenger of Allah. So and so: This is the biography of the Commander of Be1ievers, Ali Ibn Abi Taleb, for whom iii ay Allah's good pleasure is prayed, the fourth orthodox caliph, the cousin of the Messenger of Allah, his foster son and his son in law. He is the father of the two pious sons al-Hasan and al-Hussein. He was the first one to embrace Islam and the most precedent in faith. He is a prominent man of religion and the most courageous and a holy war fighter. He is the Imam of the pious, the exam ple of the ascetics, the greatest outspokesman and the most hard working scholar who fought for the victory of Islam since his early age till his demise. He took part in all battles and raised their banners and did well, and he was true and honourable. He fought polytheists and defeated enemies. His reputation is a torch of guidance, faith and loyalty till the end. Moslems have so far longed for a sufficient and good biography that covers his life, efforts, virtues, Caliphate, speeches, sayings and wisdoms, without boring deliberation or distorting summarization. Praise be to Allah, who guided me into the right path and helped me succeed to highlight this good work. And I beseech Allah, to whom belong Majesty and Might, that this work gives the benefit to history and knowledge as well as to all Moslems. 0, Allah, I beseech you; the Almighty Allah, Be He exalted, Amin. Mohammad Redha 7 All Ibn Abi Taleb For whom May Allah's good pleasure is prayed The Fourth Caliph The history of his life (600 - 661 A.D.)

The Messenger of Allah, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted, took Ali with hirn and took care of hirn. Al-Abbas took Ja'far and took care of hirn to make it easy for Abu Ta1eb to take car of other chi1dren. Ja'far remained with A1-Abbas till he embraced Islam and 1efthis horne.

Hence, the purpose of the present study was to identify the traits of Takwa in surah Al-Baqara in the Holy Quran. The data for this study were obtained from verses in surah Al-Baqara. Purposive sampling was used to select the verses that contain the traits of Taqwa using an established tafseer (Quranic interpretation) in the Qurainic field as a guideline in marking the Taqwa traits in sampling the verses. Two experts in the field of Quranic tafseer validated the traits of Taqwa extracted from each selected verse.

  • The Mosque of Abdullah Ibn Salam of Oran
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLI-B5, 2016 XXIII ISPRS Congress, 12–19 July 2016, Prague, Czech Republic APPLICATION OF DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY IN ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVATION: THE MOSQUE OF ABDULLAH IBN SALAM OF ORAN I.Boukerch, B. Takarli, R. Mahmoudi, S.Tellai, D.Chadli Centre des Techniques Spatiales Arzew Oran Algeria - [email protected] KEY WORDS: 3D modelling, terrestrial photogrammetry, camera calibration, accuracy ABSTRACT: Studies on the architectural heritage can now be supported by three-dimensional reconstruction of actual buildings. The 3D digital model can be an effective medium for documenting the current state of historic buildings but also to create a resource for researchers who conduct their analysis on historical evolution. Architectural photogrammetry has its own specifications in relation to other photogrammetric applications, however it meets these expectations. The traditional approach requires the use of metric cameras but with the development of computational techniques, this requirement is overcome and opens the way for the use of non-metric camera. The use of the shots that is no longer restricted to the parallel configuration of bundles, the images may be convergent, horizontal or oblique. Combining and modelling several cameras increasingly powerful in resolution and stability, has great scope and the same workflow can be used in varied applications. ISPRS and ICOMOS created CIPA because they both believe that a monument can be restored and protected only when it has been fully measured and documented and when its development has been documented several times, i.e. monitored, also with respect to its environment, and stored in proper heritage information and management systems.

Imam Hussein derives his glory from of the Messenger of Allah Muhammad Peace be upon him. In fact, I do not find much trouble in a flow of ideas which follows one idea after the other about the wonderful example in steadfastness on the right. And I am thirsty for the moment when the article will be finished to start reading it again. When I started in my writing, I did not know much about the subject, but when I read the references and resources and studied the details of Imam's life, I was surprised with many meanings that added a lot to my personality. When we talk about this great person we must mention the environment in which he grew up and the family from which he descended. They are a family of the Prophet Muhammad (Ahl Albeit), , who are distinguished by good deeds, redemption and sacrifice, the reason for their preference was their commitment to the method of God and they paid precious cost to become the word of God is the highest. َ ََّ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ُ َ ْ )1( )إن َما ُيريد ُالله لُيذه َب عنك ُم َّالر ْج َس أهل ال َبْيت َو ُيط َّه َرك ْم تطه ًيرا( ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ The Holy Prophet Muhammad has recommended all Muslims to love (Ahl Albeit) and keep them in mind.

  • Imam Ali Bin Abu Talib A.S
    In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful Imam Ali Bin Abu Talib A.S. His Life, Achievements, and Merits Dr. Syed H. Akhtar Austin, Texas Ali bin Abu Talib (A.S.)* was the cousin and son-in-Law of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&p)*. It is outside the scope of this presentation to record the numerous achievements and merits of Imam Ali (A.S.). His exalted personality is such that even the most learned scholars are at a loss to fathom his greatness. His birth: The miraculous circumstance of Imam Ali’s birth givesus an indication of his unique position in relation to Allah (s.w.t.)*. Imam Ali was born in 600 A.D., on the 13th of Rajab, within the holy precincts of the Kaba, the house of Allah in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. His mother, Fatima binte Asad, experienced labor pains and walked towards the Holy Kaba. Its wall miraculously split, she entered the sanctuary, and the gap sealed itself behind her. Onlookers panicked and rushed to enter it, but could not unlock the door. She emerged three days later, after the baby was born. The Holy Prophet (pbuh&p) was the first person besides Ali’s mother to hold the newborn in his arms, and when Ali opened his eyes, it was the face of the Holy Prophet (pbuh&p) that he first saw. In the history of the Kaba, this is the only known instance of a person being born within its holy precincts. His ancestry: Ali’s father was Hazrat Abu Talib, the chief of the Hashemite tribe and an uncle of the Holy Prophet (pbuh&p).

  • The Holy Prophet Muhammad and His Family
    Yousuf N. Lalljee Ali (a.s) the Magnificent www.islamic-sources.com Chapter 1 ALI, THE MAGNIFICENT The life of Hazrat Ali stands out as a beacon, radiating its light into the darkness of this world. A world torn asunder by strife, struggle and wars, a world in which the value of human life is regarded as next to nothing. It must be borne in mind that it was Ali who gave a distinctive out- look to the intellectual, social, cultural and political concepts of his times. He was the Warrior-Saint of Islam, who spent his entire life fighting the holy wars and who in spite of his multifarious activities lit the torch of knowledge which gave unprecedented impetus tolearning-a marvel of the times in which he lived. (The wonderful personality he possessed has made him the greatest hero of all times.) In the world of today, his many- sided spiritual precepts might help to solve some of theproblems with which the world is faced today. His ideas were conciliatory and his mes- sage was always one of peace. He lived for justice and was very firm in his belief that every one should have a right to live in security, that there should be food, shelter and clothing for all. Humanity he considered as one family where there should be tolerance for all-irrespective of race, creed and colour and irrespective of wealth or adversity. Nowhere was his humane attitude more apparent than when he was dispensing justice. He had the strictest ideas of duty and responsibility and even the poorest and most insignificant of suitors always found him ready to give his case a fair and prompt hearing.

  • Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: a Shi’Ite Perspective Mohamad Younes
    Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: A Shi’ite Perspective Mohamad Younes Master’s Thesis in Sociology Spring Term 2017 Humanities and Communication Arts Western Sydney University 1 17481784 Mohamad Younes 2 17481784 Mohamad Younes ABSTRACT Despite the strong emphasis on ethics within the Islamic tradition, Islamic ethics itself is scarcely represented as a discipline within academic scholarship (Ansari 1989). Even within this area, Islamic ethics have predominantly been studied from Sunni perspectives, with little attention being paid to Shi’ite or other minority understandings. This thesis will, therefore, use qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus groups, to sociologically study the perceptions, understandings, and applications of Islamic ethics in Australian Shi’ite Muslim everyday living. It will investigate the overarching understanding of Islamic ethics and its specific application in Australian Shi’ite Muslim context. The project's objective, therefore, is twofold: one to strengthen Islamic ethics as an independent discipline; and two to address the scant attention Shi’ite Islamic ethics has received in Islamic ethics scholarship generally. Conceptually, this project will contribute to the understanding of Islamic ethics through a particular analysis of Shi’ite Islamic ethics in an Australian Shi’ite context. This is significant as specific understandings of Islamic ethics in certain contexts help to explain how minority groups such as Shi’ite Muslims develop their own ethical standards to shape social relations in society. In addition, this thesis argues for Shi’ite Islamic ethics to be highly Imamate based; that is, very reliant on the actions and sayings of 12 divinely guided Imams (leaders).

The author uses the theory of interpretation because this theory aims to produce an understanding of a text in contemporary situations. The results of this research are that Israiliyat mauquf can be used as source of interpretation because it has positive impact in relation to aspect of religion of samawi Keywords: Israiliyat, mauquf, contemporary exegesis Introduction The text of the Qur'an that is global (mujmal) makes the Qur'an has a uniqueness and advantages compared with the other religious texts before, such as the Torah of the Jewish scriptures and the Gospel of the Christian scriptures. Because of its global nature, interacting with the other religion texts is a necessity, without interaction with the other religious texts so the Qur'an is less able to catch its meaning, especially related to the story of long time ago. Interaction, according to the author is the effort to interact the Samawi Religion that has the same source, namely Allah swt. It is not a lack let alone the weakness of the Qur'an, as the opinion of some Western scholars like Abraham Geiger, who claimed that Muhammad had adopted the Hebrew words into the Qur'an and the Qur'an has been much influenced by Jews religion (including in his interpretation), related to faith, doctrine, morals and the story of the Qur'an (Armas, 2002: 25).
