Muslim Community Nov 2007.qxd 28/12/07 11:31 Page 2 Verse references to the Holy Qur’an item count ‘Bismillah...’ (In the Name of Allah...) as the first verse of each Chapter. In some non-standard texts, this is not counted. Should the reader refer to such texts, the verse quoted in The Review of Religions will be found a verse earlier, i.e. at one verse less than the number quoted. In this journal, for the ease of non-Muslim readers, ‘(saw)’ or ‘saw’ after the words, ‘Holy Prophet’, or the name ‘Muhammad’, are used. They stand for ‘Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam’ meaning ‘peace and blessings of Allah be upon him’. Likewise, the letters ‘(as)’ or ‘as’ after the name of all other prophets is an abbreviation meaning ‘peace be upon him’ derived from ‘Alaihis salatu wassalam’ which are words that a Muslim utters out of respect whenever he or she comes across that name. The abbreviation ‘ra’ or (ra) stands for ‘Radhiallahu Ta’ala anhu and is used for Companions of a Prophet, meaning Allah be pleased with him or her (when followed by the relevant Arabic pronoun). Finally, ‘ru’ or (ru) for Rahemahullahu Ta’ala means the Mercy of Allah the Exalted be upon him. In keeping with current universal practice, local transliterations of names of places are preferred to their anglicised versions, e.g. Makkah instead of Mecca, etc. 2 The Review of Religions – November 2007 KHILAFAT: Special Edition 2 Nov 2007.qxd 28/12/07 11:31 Page 3 Hadhrat Abu Bakr As-Siddiq(ra) – The Great Lover of Allah By Adam Hani Walker – UK In a reported hadith (Tradition: as such with the most compelling saying of) the Holy Prophet(saw) relating to a hadith in which the said1: Holy Prophet(saw) said: ‘Love of Abu Bakr(ra) and ‘Abu Bakr(ra) you are the one gratitude to him are a duty on whom Allah has freed from the everyone of my Ummah’ hellfire’2.

We thank Him, seek His Help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils within ourselves and that of our bad deeds. He whom Allah guides, is truly guided, and whom he Allah leaves to stray, none can guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His final Prophet. In fact, the task of translation is not an easy one. Rather, it is a tremendous one, particularly when it is related to religion. So, I ask Allah to forgive my sins and dedicate this work for His Sake. However, I would like to draw the attention of the readers to the following points: a) This translation is not literal one. Rather, it is an abridged translation. b) The translation of the Qur'anic verses are quoted from Yusuf 'Ali's translation of The Holy Q'ur'an. c) When I see it is necessary to comment on something I put it between square brackets: [t. J. d) This work is a part of Ibn Kathir's valuable work Al- Bidayyah wan-Nihayyah.

DURING HIS MAKKAN PHASE SUMMARY Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Bottor of pi)tlo£fopI)2> IN SUNNI THEOLOGY BY ISRAR AHMAD KHAN Under the supervision of Dr. IQBAL HASAN KHAN DEPARTMENT OF SUNNI THEOLOGY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1990 IN THE NAMK OF ALT.AH^ THE BENSFICEKT, THE MERCIFUL INTRODUCTION The Prophet Muharrcnad (S.A.W.) emigrated to Madinah in the year 622 C.E. He established a full-fledged Islamic society and State there. This is an irrefutable event of human history. A majority of orientalists is of the view that this Madani phase of the Prophet (S.A.W.) was totally a political phase having :io connection with his previous Da'wah in Makkah before Hijrah, They argue that the Kakki period of the Prophet experienced religious and spiritual preaching while the Haoani period of ten years was dominated by political activities. They also allege that the Prophet was simply a reformer in Makkah but a political and military leader in Madinah. The truth is that most of the writings of the western scholars are parts of the Zionists * design against Islam and Muslims. Sirah books authored by orienta- lists served well the Zionism. They influenced tte Muslim minds also to a very great extent. Many a Muslim scholars to say nothing of laymen* believe that the organization of government and state after Hijrah was not a part of the Prophet's mission but it was a God-gifted reward for the steadfastness of the Prophet and his follwers on Islamic beliefs and deeds in Makkah.

  • The Role of Prophet of Islam Muhammad's (P.B.U.H
    THE ROLE OF PROPHET OF ISLAM MUHAMMAD’S (P.B.U.H.) STRATEGY OF DIALOGUE IN CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AND PEACE BUILDING IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM Salma Naz Introduction Conflict is an unavoidable characteristic of individual life as well as an inevitable phenomenon of international sys- tem. In contrast, peace is a condition desirable not only for the life of a human being but in the world affairs that can only be achieved by exclusion of conflict. So, it is a fo- cal point of discussion for social, political and internation- al scholars in particular. Different schools of thought have tried to develop devices to avoid the collision and main- tain peace by dispute resolution, because Islam guides its followers in every sphere of life through Quran (the Holy Book of Muslims) and Sunnah (the actions of Prophet Muhammad). Hence conflict and peace are also addressed in Islam and some guiding rules and methods are given in the Holy Book (Quran) and Hadith (statements of the Holy Prophet Muhammad). The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) acted upon these rules, set many examples and developed devices to resolve disputes by peaceful methods. Methodology This study is qualitative in nature. Therefore qualitative research methods are used for the collection of data along 129 with the combination of descriptive, analytical and his- torical models.
