It was not an Within the religion of Islam, who is easy climb. It was just after noon, Muhammad? and the sun was beating down on the tower and the buildings below. The city was Cairo, Egypt, and the year was 1082 CE. There were 175 steps in all, but Khalid no longer thought to count them. When he reached the top step of the tower, he turned and looked down on the courtyard below. Then, he raised his hands beside his head, palms forward, took a deep breath, and called his neighbors to prayer. Vocabulary Below him, worshippers moved steadily minaret, n. a high through doors cut into the courtyard wall. tower on a mosque, from which Muslims They moved toward a covered area near may be called to the opposite wall. Before entering the area, prayer worshippers removed their shoes, covered muezzin, n. a their heads, and carefully took their places religious official who calls Muslims to prayer facing a small arch cut into the wall. 2 High on a minaret, a muezzin calls the Muslim faithful to prayer five times a day. This happens today, just as it did hundreds of years ago. 3 Like Khalid, they raised their hands beside their heads, palms forward, and prayed in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great!”)— Allah being the Arabic word for God. The worshippers then knelt down and bowed their heads to the ground, while praising God for his goodness. Toward Mecca Khalid ibn Zayd was proud of the service he performed. He was a muezzin (/myoo*ez*ihn/), a special person trained to call others to prayer. Five times a day he climbed the tall tower, known as a minaret, (/mihn*uh*ret/) and called people to prayer. The worshippers Khalid summoned were Muslims (/muz*lumz/). Muslims follow the religion Islam (/ihs*lahm/), which means “surrendering to God.” Muslims, then, are “those who have given themselves to God or His will.” Many Muslims pray in a building called a mosque (/mahsk/). Muslims, however, believe prayer can take place anywhere. When they pray, Muslims face toward Mecca, an important city in Islam. Mecca Vocabulary is located on the Arabian Peninsula in the mosque, n. a place of worship for Muslims Middle East in present-day Saudi Arabia. For Muslims, Mecca is the holiest city because prophet, n. someone chosen it is the birthplace of Muhammad, the by God to bring a message to people prophet of Islam. pilgrimage (hajj in It is also the location of an important Arabic), n. a journey religious site called the Kaaba where Muslims undertaken for a religious purpose perform an annual pilgrimage (hajj). 4 Muslims worship in a building called a mosque. 5 God’s Messenger Khalid ibn Zayd felt fortunate that he lived in Cairo, which was a great center of Islamic learning. There his son, Yusuf, could attend a madrasa (/ma*dra*sah/), or Islamic school. There, Yusuf learned how to read Arabic and how to live according to the Koran, the sacred scripture of Islam. Soon after the noon prayers, young Yusuf ibn Khalid returned to his schoolroom in the madrasa. “Peace be upon you,” the teacher greeted the students. “And on you be peace,” responded the students in one voice. “Yusuf,” his teacher called, “why do we Muslims worship Muhammad, peace be upon him?” Yusuf knew it was a trick question. “Sir,” he answered, “we do not worship Muhammad, peace be upon him. We honor him as God’s greatest messenger, but we worship God alone.” “Well said,” replied the teacher, smiling. Vocabulary “Tell me more about Muhammad. How did vision, n. an image he come to be God’s messenger?” in one’s mind or imagination that “Once, when Muhammad was asleep,” others cannot see Yusuf answered with confidence, “the angel verse, n. a part of Gabriel came to him in a vision and told a poem, song, or him to recite a verse. He was afraid. As he religious text, such as the Bible, or ran away, he heard the voice of the angel rhymed prose, such telling him that he was God’s messenger.” as the Koran 6 Muslims believe that the angel Gabriel visited Muhammad when he was praying in a cave outside of Mecca. 7 “And did Muhammad begin immediately to act as God’s messenger?” asked the teacher. “No,” said Yusuf, “he was still afraid. But the angel came to him again and again until he began to preach God’s message.” “You have listened well, Yusuf,” said the teacher. Yusuf bowed slightly and smiled, happy with his teacher’s praise. “Ali,” the teacher called to a tall boy seated beside Yusuf, “did the people listen to what Muhammad said?” “No,” replied Ali. “At first only a few people among Muhammad’s family and friends believed what he said. Most of the people ignored him or did not accept his message.” “And what did he say that made him unpopular?” prodded the teacher. “Well,” Ali answered thoughtfully, “he told them that there was only one God, Allah. He told them they should not worship other gods or idols. The people did not like that because they had lots of gods and put statues of them in the Kaaba.” “And what was the Kaaba?” the teacher Vocabulary cut in. idol, n. an object, such as a statue “It was a shrine where various gods and or carving, that idols were worshipped.” represents a god and is worshipped “And what is it today?” shrine, n. a place considered holy “It is the holiest place in Islam,” answered because it is Ali, adding quickly, “and today only God is associated with a religious person or worshipped there.” saint 8 The Five Pillars of Islam “Excellent,” said the teacher. “We believe only in God the Almighty. That is the first pillar, or foundation, of our faith. We believe there is no lord but God and that Muhammad is the last messenger of God.” “What are the other pillars of our faith?” the teacher asked. “You first, Hassan,” he said to a boy sitting nearby. “The second pillar of our faith,” Hassan responded, “is prayer. Five times a day we Muslims pray toward the Kaaba in Mecca. We must pray before the sun rises, after midday, in the afternoon, about sunset, and at night. “The third pillar,” Hassan continued, “is sharing wealth with the poor. It is called zakat. Muhammad taught that we must help the poor and those in need by giving them money.” “You have answered well,” said the teacher. “Let’s give someone else a chance to answer now.” Five Pillars of Islam Belief that Prayer ve Giving to Fasting during Pilgrimage there is no lord times a day the poor Ramadan to Mecca (hajj) except God 9 “Ishaq,” he called to a boy sitting next Vocabulary to Hassan, “what is the fourth pillar of Ramadan, n. a holy our faith?” month in the Islamic calendar when “The fourth pillar is fasting,” Ishaq said.

  • Hegira Years in Greek, Greek-Coptic and Greek-Arabic Papyri
    WORP, I<. A., Hegira Years in Greek, Greek-Coptic and Greek-Ambic Papyri , Aegyptus, 65:112 (1985:genn.ldic.) p.107 Hegira Years in Greek, Greek-Coptic and Greek-Arabic Papyri It is well known that the Arabs use a year count based upon a lunar year. The point of departure for this count is the day on which, according to the tradition, Mohammed fled from Mecca to Medina, i.e. on 16.VII.622 (cf. V. GRUMEL,La Chronologie, 225, who points out that the traditional date is wrong, as the flight took place in fact 68 days later than the tradition would have it). When Egypt was conquered by the Arabs in A.D. 641, they introduced their own year count into this country while abolishing the traditional counting of regnal years of the emperor in Byzantium, the use of (post-) consular years of this same ruler, and - in the Oxy- rynchite Nome only- the use of a local era. The system of counting fiscal years in cycles of 15 indiction years (the years within each cycle being numbered 1- 15, the cycles themselves being unnumbered) which had been introduced into Egypt ca. A.D. 314 (cf. R. S. BAGNALL- K. A. WORP,Chronological Systems of Byzantine Egypt (=CSBE), 1-8), however, was not abolished by the Arabs (see the discussion by H. Cadell of the chronology of the correspondence of Kurrah b. Sharik in ((Rech. Pap)). 4 [l9671 138ff.). Furthermore, the local population of Egypt started to use the era of Diocletian (later called the era of the Martyrs; year 1 = A.D.

  • LINGUISTIC MEANING “Be in This World As If You Were a Stranger Or A
    “Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler.” ~Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) The concept of being a stranger and how to interact with the stranger is a common theme in Islamic religious texts. The two primary sources of Islamic teachings are the Qur’an, the Holy Book of Islam, and the Hadith/Sunnah traditions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). To Muslims, the Qur’an is the literal Word of God, revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through Angel Gabriel, who recited the Qur’an to Muhammad (pbuh) in installments for over twenty-three years. The Hadith on the other hand, refers to the statements, actions, and approvals of the Prophet (pbuh) throughout his mission. They are traced back to the Prophet through a chain of narrators and recorded in canonical books. So, what does Islam say and how do Muslims view the stranger? LINGUISTIC MEANING The concept of being a stranger takes TEXT OF THE HADITH OF THE STRANGER various forms and shapes in the The text of focus for this program is the Prophetic statement teachings of Islam. Some key words narrated by Mujahid: that might help us understand the concept include: ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, “Allah's Messenger (pbuh) took hold of my shoulder and said, ‘Be in this world as if you were Gharib – (Singular) strange, alien, a stranger or a traveler.” The sub-narrator added: Ibn ‘Umar foreign, unknown, unfamiliar used to say, “If you survive till the evening, do not expect to Ghurabaa’ – (Plural) strangers aliens, be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the morning, foreigners do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your Ghurbah – Strangeness health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your death.” (Related by Al-Bukhari)1 These words connote being new or unknown in a place or setting.

  • Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
    Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Every Sufi order derives its roots from the spirituality of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). And considers him as the final link of the chain between ordinary human being and the Almighty Allah which goes down through the able spiritual deputies of the Prophet who carry the torch of divine light (Noor) in their heart that was ignited by Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.). This link was established between the Creator and the creation on the Night of Ascension (Meraj) when Allah took His perfect creation Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) to the journey above the seven skies and gives him His Audience -- a status which was never given to any of His creation, even not to the angels at His service. The Sufi thoughts establish that the arrival of the Holy Prophet in this world was not an ordinary event rather it was the culmination of Allah's mercy upon the human being that He sends his Lover as "Sufficient for the Humanity and Mercy for the Worlds." Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) was born in Mecca on Monday, Rabi-al-Awwal 12, 53 B.H., or December 9, 571 A.D., 50 days after the attack of Abrah, the ruler of Yemen, with his army of elephants on Ka'aba (as described in Holy Qur'an in Surah Feel -- Chapter Elephant). He belonged to the clan of Hashim -- Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Ibn Abdul Muttalib Ibn Hashim. Banu Hashim was a noble branch of the prestigious and influential tribe of Quraish. His father had died before his birth.

Abstract: The Holy Quran is a profound and enormous sea. Pondering over the endless ocean of the Honorable Words of the God provides for the quarry of the brilliant spiritual pearls. The celestial book’s teachings are many; thus the sciences that enable solutions and approaches from this great book are also numerous and pithy. The investigation of the holy Quran and making efforts to stylize the holy Quran teaching is an important and huge task. The present article deals with the survey as well as offering solutions for a better and more effective teaching of the holy Quran. Thereupon, teaching holy Quran in various study fields such as memorization, proper reading and reading, concentrating on and acquisition of the Holy Quran sciences (the stances of the Ayat revelation, interpretation and paraphrasing etc.), paying heedful attention to the lesser gravity of the holy Quran, to wit Ahl Al-Bayt (peace be upon them), the ones who have been introduced by the God’s Apostle (may Allah bestow him and his scared progeny with the best of His regards) as the collaterals to the holy Quran guiding and navigating Islamic nation, are among the important cases of staying attentive to the holy Quran teachings and providing for a greater enjoyment of the revelation teachings.

The first one killed was Qasim, the ten-year-old son of Husayn’s brother, Hasan. He was split into two by a single blow from a sabre. Husayn’s horse fell, grazed by an arrow. As he sat on the ground, the enemy soldiers did not dare kill him — not wanting to be held responsible for the death of the Prophet’s grandson. Abdallah, Husayn’s one-year-old son, was crying; just as Husayn took him into his arms to console him, an arrow hit the child in the ear, killing him instantly. Weakened by thirst, Husayn was about to drink from the waters of the Euphrates when an arrow hit him in the mouth. Seven or eight men fell upon him — one of them stabbed him in the back with his lance while another severed his head as he fell to the ground.
