Received 14 June 2021, Accepted 28 July 2021 This research focuses on criticism and praise in Arabic literature, history and poetry towards those in charge of the scientific movement in the Medieval Era. The research method was theoretical and qualitative. Many poets and scholars praised the rulers and sultans who established mosques and other educational institutions (madrasa-s) based on endowments, which had a role in sciences, intellectual and religious renaissance. They were subject to criticism or praise for their work or the educational role they followed. The topics of praise to the ulama centered on, their diligence and dissemination of science, as well as of their behavior and moral manners. On the other hand, the criticism of poetry centered on the mistakes of some scholars, their scientific stances in religious matters and criticizing scholars of the sultans for their attitudes in serving the rulers. Poets were also interested in criticizing scholars (ulama) who moved away from the path of morality, virtue, and shari‘a, and who lead the teaching without qualification or mismanagement of the educational process; and therefore do not preserve the rules of morality in lessons, education or discussions, and their lack of good morals towards students.

  • And We Cast Upon His Throne a Mere Body. a Historiographical Reading of Q
    And We cast upon his throne a mere body. A Historiographical Reading of Q. 38:34 M.O. Klar SOAS, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON The Islamic figure of Solomon is presented in four pericopes of the Qur'an, In Sura 21 {al- Anbiyd') reference is made to an episode where David and Solomon give judgement on a ravaged field, followed by details of David's and Solomon's special gifts - for the latter these were the wind that ran at his command, knowledge of everything and demons that worked for him. In Sura 27 (al-Naml) Solomon and David are mentioned with reference to the gift of knowledge God granted them both, and evidence of their gratitude; Solomon says to his men that he understands the speech of the birds and has been given of every- thing; then follows the story of the Valley of the Ants, and the famous episode between Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, which culminates in the Queen submitting to God, The pericope in Sura 34 (Saba') again introduces Solomon through David and gives details of their special gifts, Solomon's being the wind, molten brass and mastery over the jinn. The concealment of Solomon's death from the jinn is referred to. Finally, in Sura 38 (Sad), again after mention of David, we are told that Solomon's horses were paraded before him, he missed the evening prayer and then either smote or stroked (depending on one's choice of interpretation)' their shanks and necks, and, immediately prior to a list of God's gifts to him (the wind and the jinn), there is ref- erence to God trying Solomon, casting a mere body on Solomon's throne, and to Solomon repenting: Q.

  • Interpretation and Views of Quranic Commentaries on the Planet Based on Al-Kawkab and Al-Kawakib Terms
    INTERPRETATION AND VIEWS OF QURANIC COMMENTARIES ON THE PLANET BASED ON AL-KAWKAB AND AL-KAWAKIB TERMS Khairussaadah Wahid Mohd Saiful Anwar Mohd Nawawi Saadan Man Abstract: This paper examines the occurrence of the terms al-kawkab (plural, al-kawakib) in the Qur’an and investigates the views of classical and contemporary Quranic commentaries concerning the interpretation of the meanings of these terms. In general, the Qur’an uses al-kawkab as the singular term and al-kawakib as the plural term. The argument among Quranic commentaries concerning the interpretation of the meaning of al-kawkab (plural, al-kawakib) in the Quran revolve around whether it refers to either a planet or a star. Thus, this paper attempts to reconcile this contradiction in the meaning of al-kawkab (plural, al-kawakib) among Quranic commentaries by considering the Arabic lexical sources as well as the various Quranic allusions. The data collections involved library research based on the primary and secondary sources relating to the planets in the solar system. After examining the views on the Quranic commentaries, the authors conclude that the meaning of the term al-kawkab (plural, al-kawakib) in the Quran refers to a planet. Keywords: planet, al-kawkab, al-kawakib, Quranic commentaries, Islamic astronomy 91 KHAIRUSSAADAH WAHID Introduction The Greeks and other astronomers of old were aware of the Moon, the stars and five planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn - in the night sky. Human knowledge concerning the basic content of the solar system remained largely unchanged from ancient times until the early 17th century, when the invention of the telescope made it possible for more detailed observations to be conducted.

  • Islamic and American Constitutional Law: Borrowing Possibilities Or a History of Borrowing?
    Islamic and American Constitutional Law: Borrowing Possibilities or a History of Borrowing? Azizah Y. al-Hibri Emeritus Professor of Law at University of Richmond ISLAMIC AND AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: BORROWING POSSIBILITIES OR A HISTORY OF BORROWING? Azizah Y al-Hibri" INTRODUCTION Islam is commonly viewed in the West as being incompatible with democracy. It is also viewed as an "Oriental" religion that has spawned violence and encouraged human rights violations. Because of the historical interaction between the West and Islam, the United States has recently been supporting efforts to export its democratic principles and human rights values to Muslim countries. In this con- text, the question of constitutional borrowing gains special signifi- cance. To assess the possibilities of constitutional borrowing between Is- lamic countries and the United States, it is important to first discuss the historical relation between the two, as well as between Islamic concepts and early American thought on democracy. For this reason, some basic features of Islamic constitutionalism will be introduced and analyzed. Islamic concepts are rooted in the Qur'an, the most fundamental source of guidance for all Muslims, and related secon- dary sources. Examination of these sources reveals that most Orien- talist writing on the nature of Islam during the eighteenth century was either distorted or false. Most importantly, for our purposes in this article, this examination will also provide the reader with a more adequate basis for comparing Islamic constitutionalism with Ameri- can constitutionalism. The resulting data will establish a solid basis for an answer to the question: "Can American democracy be exported to Muslim coun- tries today?" This article answers this question by concluding that (i) democracy is critically needed in many Muslim countries, but that (ii) Professor, T.C.

    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.35, 2017 The Method of Qura’nic Interpretation – Historical Perspective Dr. N. Gafoordeen Senior Lecturer in Arabic and Islamic Civilization, Faculty of Arts, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka Abstract: There are numerous forms of explanation for qur’anic verses existing by the Muslim Intellectuals since reveled of holy Quran since 7th century. This manuscript attempts to present greatest proper approaches of explanation employed by the Mufassiroon. Using content analysis procedures and expressive attitude, the expansion of tafsir since prophet Mohamed period to 20 th century are explored and described systematically Outcome indicates that there are seven methods of interpretation used mostly to explain meaning of the verses of holy quran. Entire methods are divided into three basic groups: Tafsir bi-l-riwaya, tafsir bi-l-diraya and Tafsir bi-l- ishara. The works of the mufessireen Quranic exegesis should also be appreciated in order to remain aware of the meaning of the holy Quran upon which all expiation rests. Keywords: Interpretation, Methodology, Tafsir-riwaya, Tafsir- diraya Introduction Tafsir (interpretation) of the Quran is the most significant science for Muslims. All matters concerning the Islamic way of life are related to it in one sense or another for right application of Islam is based on proper understanding of the direction from Allah. Without tafsir there would be no right understanding of various verses of the Quran. The word of Tafsir is derived from the Arabic word fassara, which literally means to lift the curtain, to make clear, to show the objective.

    Article International Journal of Kurdish Studies 7 (2), pp. 253-286 http://ijoks.com The Kurdish Emirate of the Jawaniyya in the Region of Abbasid Baghdad (Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries) Arafat YAZ1 Received: June 7, 2021 Reviewed: July 1, 2021 Accepted: July 24, 2021 Abstract This study reveals the prevalence of Kurdish tribal states, political entities, in the vicinity of the Abbasid city of Baghdad. Through a presentation of the lives and contributions of leading Jawani personalities, it is shown that the Kurdish states contributed to the development of early Islam from both the political and religious aspects. The Jawani emirs were involved in most of the Baghdadi region’s dealings with the Abbasid caliphate. They also had dealings with the Buwayhids, Ukaylids, Mazyadids, Annazids, Hasanvayhids, Marwanids and Seljuks. Sometimes, they formed alliances with these states, and sometimes they fought. The Jawani Emirate, one of the powers that determined the fate of the region until 557/ 1161-1162, lost their strong position after the Abbasid caliph expatriated the Mazyadids from al-Hillah. The present writer greatly relies on medieval Islamic sources, such as the scholars Masudi, Ibn al-Jawzi, Sibt Ibn al-Jawzi, İbn al-Athir, al-Dahabi and Ibn Khaldun.
