Many members of this community shared a history of migration into Gujarat from the southern Arabian Peninsula, north Africa, Iran, Central Asia and the neighboring territories of the Indian subcontinent. I analyze two key aspects related to the making of a community of ii learned Muslim men in the fifteenth century - the production of a variety of texts in Persian and Arabic by learned Muslims and the construction of tomb shrines sponsored by the sultans of Gujarat.

  • Significance of Prophet Abraham in World Scriptures of Hebrew, Christian, Muslim and Hindu Religions
    Significance of Prophet Abraham in World Scriptures of Hebrew, Christian, Muslim and Hindu Religions The reader is forewarned that certain parts of this article may be considered as slightly graphic, as those parts explain for clarity, the actual ritualistic practices within paganism, regarding human sacrifice. These are almost unbelievable historical facts of common practice, which happened many thousands of years ago. Many times when any topic under discussion concerns Prophet Abraham, most people immediately relate Prophet Abraham to that incident, when he almost sacrificed his first-born son. Rarely do people analyse the absolute greatness of this prophet, as the Father of Humanity. This article goes deeper in appreciating that Prophet Abraham was the first prophet who pioneered the modern day concept of One God; and to do this he walked out on his sire1 after destroying all the idols, save one the chief idol and placed the axe next to the chief idol; Prophet Abraham wilfully left the chief idol intact to bear witness and to explain who destroyed the colony of idols in the pagan temple. His sire (who was also head priest over the idols)2 told Prophet Abraham not to be stupid, because the chief idol was a man-made, lifeless and powerless cold statue, sculptured out of stone; and that the idol could not see, hear, speak, feel or taste or have the powers of discretion to bear witness. Of course, Prophet Abraham told his sire not to worship such useless, powerless and defenceless idols. Thereafter he fought many skirmishes with so many of the idol worshiping communities, and he was also banished from his town of usual residence.

DJ HUMAN CO-SUPERVISOR: PROF. PGJ MEIRING JUNE 2009 © University of Pretoria DEDICATION To my love, Miae our children Yein, Stephen, and David and the Peacemakers around the world. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I thank God for the opportunity and privilege to study the subject of divinity. Without acknowledging God’s grace, this study would be futile. I would like to thank my family for their outstanding tolerance of my late studies which takes away our family time. Without their support and kind endurance, I could not have completed this prolonged task. I am grateful to the staffs of University of Pretoria who have provided all the essential process of official matter. Without their kind help, my studies would have been difficult. Many thanks go to my fellow teachers in the Nairobi International School of Theology. I thank David and Sarah O’Brien for their painstaking proofreading of my thesis. Furthermore, I appreciate Dr Wayne Johnson and Dr Paul Mumo for their suggestions in my early stage of thesis writing. I also thank my students with whom I discussed and developed many insights of God’s relationship with mankind during the Hebrew Exegesis lectures. I also remember my former teachers from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, especially from the OT Department who have shaped my academic stand and inspired to pursue the subject of this thesis.

Approval Name: Aali Mirjat Degree: Master of Arts Title: Sympathy and the Unbelieved in Modern Retellings of Sindhi Sufi Folktales Examining Committee: Chair: Evdoxios Doxiadis Assistant Professor Luke Clossey Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Bidisha Ray Co-Supervisor Senior Lecturer Derryl MacLean Supervisor Associate Professor Tara Mayer External Examiner Instructor Department of History University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: July 16, 2018 ii Abstract This thesis examines Sindhi Sufi folktales as retold by five “modern” individuals: the nineteenth- century British explorer Richard Burton and four Sindhi intellectuals who lived and wrote in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries (Lilaram Lalwani, M. M. Gidvani, Shaikh Ayaz, and Nabi Bakhsh Khan Baloch). For each set of retellings, our purpose will be to determine the epistemological and emotional sympathy the re-teller exhibits for the plot, characters, sentiments, and ideas present in the folktales. This approach, it is hoped, will provide us a glimpse inside the minds of the individual re-tellers and allow us to observe some of the ways in which the exigencies of a secular western modernity had an impact, if any, on the choices they made as they retold Sindhi Sufi folktales.

Thus, contemporary Ismailism’s focus on liberal values like democracy, pluralism, and education are articulated as contemporary forms of eternal Qur’anic ethical principles. The current and 49th Ismaili Imam, Aga Khan IV – who claims descent from the Prophet through his daughter, Fatima, and son-in-law, `Ali – articulates the principles of liberal democratic pluralism as the best means to realize ethical Islamic living in the present day.
