Imim 'Abdalleh al-Haddad was the renewer, or Mujaddid, of the twelfth Islamic century. He was renowned, and deservedly so, for the breadth of his knowledge and his manifest sanctity. The profundity of his influence on Muslims is reflected by the fact that his books are still in print through- out the Islamic world. He was born in Tarrm, in the hills of Hadramaut, one of the southerly regions of the Arabian peninsula, and grew up in an environment where the accent was upon piety, frugality, eru- dition, and an uncompromising thirst for gnosis fma'rifal. Hrs lineage is traced back to the Prophet, may blessings and peace be upon him, and his family, through Imam al-Husayn. His illustrious ancestors, the 'Alawi sadat, had for centuries pro- duced generation after generation ofgreat scholars, gnostics, and summoners to the Straight Path. Imim al-Haddid's writings, if we except a few short trea- tises, and his volume of poetry, are mostly concerned with establishing within his readers the firmest possible foun- dations for faith and certainty. He recognised the signs of his times, and of the times to come, and observed how people were drawing away from religion, exhibiting a reluctance to study and a diminishing inclination to seek spiritual growth. He therefore endeavoured to produce concise, clear, and un- controversial texts. His concern for brevity is manifest throughout his books, many of which are abbreviated adap- tations of Imim al-Ghazali's monumental Reuival of the Re- ligious Sciences llhyo' 'Ulnm al-Drn). Ghazili had himself been the renewer of the sixth century. vii Imam al-Haddad died on the eve of the seventh of Dhu'l_ THE BOOK OF Qa'da, 7732 AFi^, having spenr his life bringing people to their Lord through his oral and wrirren teaching, hi, e"emplary ASSISTANCE.

    Haidh (Menstruation Or Period)

    Women's Issues Made Simple Batul S. Arastu - XKP Published: 2013 Categorie(s): Non-Fiction, Religion, Islam Tag(s): "women issues" "muslim women" "ghusl in islam" "ayatullah sist- ani" "islamic hijab" menses paak istehaza istadha xkp Menstruation qaleelah mutawasit kaseera haidh haiz Menopause ruling for menstrual 1 Chapter 1 Author’s Preface Before I came to Qum I had many questions regarding specific issues related to women, the Islamic rules women must follow. One of the main issues all women face is that of different blood cycles. There are a lot of Fiqh (Jurisprudence) books that cover these sensitive topics for women, but I often found them very confusing for myself. Alhamdulillah, join- ing the Houza (Seminary) in Qum helped me in understanding these confusing issues. Apart from wanting to share what I learnt, I wanted to make my life easy so I decided to write a very simple book that talks mainly about different issues women face. In this book we will be mainly discussing different blood cycles and the different women who are special in their own way. When you read this book you will be able to figure out what kind of a blood cycle you have and InshaAllah you will be able to perform your duties as per the laws of Islam, which is obligatory on all of us. This book is written according to the rulings of Ayatullah Khomeini and Ayatullah Seestani. Although most of the Maraaji’ have similar views on these issues, it is important that sisters who follow other Maraaji’ should check with their own Marja`, because there may be minor differences in the rulings.

    Framing Islam at the World of Islam Festival, London, 1976

    Journal of Muslims in Europe 7 (2018) 73-93 brill.com/jome Framing Islam at the World of Islam Festival, London, 1976 Klas Grinell Dep. of Literature, History of Ideas, and Religion, Gothenburg University, Sweden [email protected] Abstract This article focuses on a neglected historical example where contemporary museo- logical framings of Islam in Europe were established—the World of Islam Festival in London, 1976. The material consulted consists of the publications and materials from the Festival Trust, media coverage and academic discussions of the Festival. These are analyzed from a frame theory perspective. The Festival is situated in a very specific historical period after the advent of Gulf oil money, but before the resurgence of Islam and the Iranian revolution. It was framed by the traditionalist perspective of Frithjof Schuon and Seyyed Hossein Nasr and in large part funded by the United Arab Emirates. It is argued that what might at first appear to be a festival celebrating the presence of Muslims in modern Britain acted to stabilize a dichotomy between Islam and moder- nity that is still dominant in museological framings of Islam in Europe. Keywords World of Islam Festival – museums – Islamic art – cultural heritage – traditionalism – 1970s 1 Aims and Introduction The 1976 World of Islam Festival in Britain is certain to be regarded in retrospect as an important milestone in the relations between Islam and Christianity. The effect that it has had in awakening Europeans to the sig- nificance of Islamic civilization is already apparent. © Klas GrinelL, 2018 | doi 10.1163/22117954-12341365 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the prevailing CC-BY-NC license at the time of publication.

Office hours: Wednesdays 9:15­11:15am (Galileo 207D) [email protected] Course Description: The purpose of this course is to introduce undergraduate students to the basic tenets of the Islamic faith tradition. We will read and discuss the biography (sirah) of the Prophet Muhammad according to the earliest historical sources as well as analyze various sciences (‘ulum) of the Qur’an and hadith (prophetic traditions), and how these two primary Islamic sources influenced the codification of Islamic law (shari’a), creedal literature (‘aqidah), and Islamic mysticism (Sufism [tasawwuf]). We will also examine the intellectual contributions of classical and contemporary Muslim theologians, philosophers, mystics, and metaphysicians as well as examine both the history and work of the Western Academy’s critical engagement with Islam. This course will explore the fundamental religious beliefs held by Muslims for over 1400 years by covering the three dimensions of Islam as outlined in the famous hadith of Gabriel: practice (Islam), faith (Iman), and spirituality (Ihsan). In addition, we will look at various contemporary understandings and manifestations of the global phenomenon of Islam and how these understandings are shaped by various historical, societal, literary, and cultural factors. Course Objectives: 1. To inform and educate future religious, academic, and community leaders about the normative understandings of traditional Islam by Muslim scholars of the past and present as well as analyze critical responses to those understandings by scholars of Western Academy.

  • Pathways to an Inner Islam

    Pathways to an Inner Islam

    Chapter One INTRODUCTION The spiritual, mystical, and esoteric doctrines and practices of Islam, which may be conveniently, if not quite satisfactorily, labeled as Sufi sm, have been among the main avenues of the understanding of this religion in Western aca- demic circles, and possibly among Western audiences in general. This stems from a number of reasons, not the least of which is a diff use sense that Sufi sm has provided irreplaceable keys for reaching the core of Muslim identity over the centuries, while providing the most adequate responses to contemporary disfi gurements of the Islamic tradition. It is in this context that we propose, in the current book, to show how the works of those whom Pierre Lory has called the “mystical ambassadors of Islam”1 may shed light on the oft-neglected availability of a profound and integral apprehension of Islam, thereby helping to dispel some problematic assumptions feeding many misconceptions of it. The four authors whom we propose to study have introduced Islam to the West through the perspective of the spiritual dimension that they themselves unveiled in the Islamic tradition. These authors were mystical “ambassadors” of Islam in the sense that their scholarly work was intimately connected to an inner call for the spiritual depth of Islam, the latter enabling them to intro- duce that religion to Western audiences in a fresh and substantive way. It may be helpful to add, in order to dispel any possible oversimplifi cations, that these authors should not be considered as representatives of Islam in the literal sense of one who has converted to that religion and become one of its spokesmen.2 None of these four “ambassadors” was in fact Muslim in the conventional, external, and exclusive sense of the word, even though two of them did attach themselves formally to the Islamic tradition in view of an affi liation to Sufi sm, in Arabic tasawwuf.

CATHARINES ON 'I I,, >-•• Abstract: This thesis analyzes four philosophical questions surrounding Ibn al-'Arabi's concept of the al-iman al-kamil, the Perfect Individual. The Introduction provides a definition of Sufism, and it situates Ibn al-'Arabi's thought within the broader context of the philosophy of perfection. Chapter One discusses the transformative knowledge of the Perfect Individual. It analyzes the relationship between reason, revelation, and intuition, and the different roles they play within Islam, Islamic philosophy, and Sufism. Chapter Two discusses the ontological and metaphysical importance of the Perfect Individual, exploring the importance of perfection within existence by looking at the relationship the Perfect Individual has with God and the world, the eternal and non-eternal. In Chapter Three the physical manifestations of the Perfect Individual and their relationship to the Prophet Muhammad are analyzed. It explores the Perfect Individual's roles as Prophet, Saint, and Seal. The final chapter compares Ibn al-'Arabi's Perfect Individual to Sir Muhammad Iqbal's in order to analyze the different ways perfect action can be conceptualized. It analyzes the relationship between freedom and action. \ ^1 Table of Contents "i .. I. Introduction 4 \.

  • Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy in the Twentieth Century1

    Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy in the Twentieth Century1

    Sophia Perennis Vol. 1, Number 1, 2009 Iranian Institute of Philosophy Tehran/Iran Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy in the Twentieth Century1 Zachary Markwith Abstract: This paper will examine how Muslim intellectuals, as a result of their attachment to the doctrine of Divine Unity (tawh¤īd), the Quran, Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, and the doctrines and methods of Sufism, were largely responsible for the restating of the perennial philosophy in the West in the twentieth century. The article consists of four sections: an introduction to the term 'philosophia perennis'; the place of the perennial philosophy in the Qur'an and Sunnah; the perennial philosophy and the Islamic intellectual Tradition; the lives, writings, and intellectual contributions of the five most important Muslim perennialists of the twentieth century, namely, Guénon, Schuon, Burckhardt, Lings, and Nasr The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the inextricable link between Islam and the perennial philosophy in the twentieth century, while defending the role that orthodoxy and orthopraxy play in any authentic expression of the perennial philosophy. Key terms: Perennial Philosophy, Rene Guenon, Frithjof Schuon, Titus Burkhardt, Martin Lings, Seyyed Hossein Nasr Number 1, Winter 2009 39 Muslim Intellectuals and the Perennial Philosophy There is an attempt from certain quarters to marginalize the relationship between Islam and the perennial philosophy, and specifically what Frithjof Schuon called, “the transcendent unity of religions.” On the one hand, some interpreters of Schuon and the perennial philosophy have denied, in the name of pure esoterism, the necessary religious forms and discipline which allow man to transcend himself, and have an authentic vision of Reality.
