Part of this normativeness, is that we also present alternative view-points in matters where interpretation is broad owing to sources consulted. We take this for our readers an encouragement so that they commit themselves to consult various sources before forming a learned position. The Ahlul Bayt DILP Team Featured Category: Introducing the Ahlul Bayt [11] Resources for Further Research [12] A Short History of the Muhammadi Trust It was March 1969 when I phoned The Director of the Islamic Center at Regents Park in London, the Raja of Mahmudabad for an appointment to discuss about setting up an organization for the sole purpose of furthering the education of Muslim youth. I went to see Raja Saheb with my friend Sayyid Asghar Haider Kazmi. Unfortunately Raja Saheb was unable to see me that evening because of Shaikh Mujibur Rahman’s arrival in London who was with the Raja at that time. I went there the next evening and put before him a constitution by the name of Ahlebayt Academy. Raja Saheb red the paper and commented that if the name is changed to Muhammadi Trust it would appeal to a wider audience. We agreed and in this way Muhammadi Trust came into being. Although the name changed the object of the association remained the same, which is the education of the Muslim youth on the lines the Ahlul Bayt of the Prophet wanted us to learn. The First Trustees were as follows: H.E. The Raja of Mahmudabad Sayyid Sadiq Husayn Shah Kazmi Dr.Sayyid Sikander Raza, Mirza Baqar Khorasanee Abbas Jethabhai Gokal Hasan Pirbhai Sayyid Muhammad Raza Shabbar (The writer of the present book) After the resignation of Hasan Pirbhai due to business commitments, Mr. Qasim Husayn who had arrived in London after taking retirement from the Pakistan Air force as Wing Commander, was appointed as Trustee and also its secretary. The Work of the Trust began in earnest. S.M.R. Shabbar Muhammadi Trust, London, March 1997 Introduction In 1980 we celebrated the 1400 anniversary of the Hijri Calendar and published a short biography of the 14 Ma’sumeen (infallibles). As this was just a one page biography of each Ma’sum, we thought that this time we should make an effort to give the biographies of Ma’sumeen in detail. Our first effort was highly popular and the 3000 copies of our first print were sold out quickly. We had to reprint and even all copies of the second edition were also sold out. Demand came from all countries from all five continents. Time passed but people still remember our effort and from time to time a call on the phone from Auckland New Zealand or Los Angeles USA reminds us that the need for some detailed biography is still there. Recently many more people asked about the book and we thought that the time has come to make an effort. Indeed Sheikh Mufid’s Al-Irshad is there, but this is, although authentic, tedious to read and understand. The book appears to be for research scholars only, ordinary people, especially the youth in the West who wish to know about the Ma’sumeen do not have a suitable, extensive, or authentic enough book which tells them who these Ma’sumeen were, what they did and what influence they left on the Muslim society of today. With this idea in the forefront, the following book is in your hands to read and understand about the 14 Ma’sumeen without taking too much of your time in understanding it. It is a simple, concise biography in simple English with all the necessary references at the end of each biography. Why were these Ma’sumeen called “Ahlul Bayt” ? Qur’an in 42:23 tells us in the words of Prophet Muhammad, “ I do not ask you for any recompense for this (communication of the revelation) except the love of the near kinship." (Mawaddata fil-Qurba). Asking the believers to love the Prophet and his Ahlul Bayt. In 33:33 there is further elaboration of the Ahlul Bayt and their status. This state of purity, which distinguished Muhammad (S) and his family (Ahlul Bayt) from the common Muslims, agreed with the elevated ranks of the families of the earlier Prophets, but this elevation was not unconditional, they had to be rightly guided to achieve that status. This guidance was confirmed by the following verses, Verse 33 goes like this: "God desires only to remove any impurities from you, o people of the House (Ahlul Bayt) and to purify you completely.” Who are the people of the House (Ahlul Bayt)? The pronoun referring to them is in the masculine plural, while the preceding part of the verse is in the feminine plural. This change in gender has evidently pointed the finger to the Five people of the mantle (Ahl Al-Kisa) i.e. Muhammad-’Ali-Fatima-Hasan- Husayn. For this Verse was revealed when the Prophet (S) was in the house of his daughter Fatima under a Kisa. She is the narrator of this Tradition. When these Five persons were under the Kisa she used a sentence “Fa Lamma Aktamalna” And when we were complete (Under the Kisa). She did not use the word Ajtam’ana, i.e. when were all gathered or assembled together for it would show the possibility of addition or subtraction from the Five. The word ‘Aktamalna’ clarified the position that these Five had completed the assembly without further additions. Tabari in his commentary and Imam Fakhruddin Razi in his Tafsee-e-Kabir in their commentaries on this verse support this interpretation and the names of Five people with the exclusion of the wives of the Prophet. The Ahlul Bayt of Muhammad (S) meant, as was consistent with the general usage of the term at the time, primarily his blood relations, the same people who were also forbidden to receive Alms ( Sadaqa) in order that their state of purity not be soiled or questioned. This also elevates them to the status of infallible (Ma’sum), that is, free of mistakes in all avenues of life. To further confirm the names of these Five persons, in 3:61, the Verse of Mubahela clarifies this position in front of the large audience of Muslims as well as Christians. This Verse goes like this: “ If one disputes with you in this matter (concerning Jesus) after the knowledge which has come to you, come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then let us swear an oath and place the curse of God on those who lie.” And the personalities Muhammad (S) took with him were the same Five people of the Kisa. He himself as Prophet of God, his Daughter Fatima (sa) as the women of the family, his two grand sons as the sons and his cousin ‘Ali (as) as the “Self” of the Prophet. When the Bishop of Najran saw these faces he realized the truthfuof the Prophet and refrained from verbal confrontation of curse on those who lie. Qur’an’s logic plays a great part in understanding what God wanted us to know and what to do when matters are under dispute or subject to various interpretations. 3:31 tells us, “ Say (O’ Muhammad) if you love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins.” In this Verse, the Prophet is introduced as an exemplar to whose behaviour and morality people should conform their own behaviour and morality, and whom they should take as their precedent. This in itself is a proof of the Prophet’s immunity from sin and error, because, if it were possible for sin and error to proceed from him, there would be no purpose in God, introducing him as a leader and a precedent. This position then after the Prophet, passed to the Household (Ahlul Bayt) and according to a Hadith, which many Sunni and Shi’i scholars have narrated in their books on the life of the Prophet, in histories and in their own books on Hadith from nearly thirty companions of the Prophet. The Prophet chose his Household (Ahlul Bayt) for the leadership and Imamate. He said, “ I leave among you two precious things: the Book of Allah and my Ahlul Bayt. These two will not be separated until they encounter me at the pool of Kawthar (in paradise). Do not run ahead of them, for you will be ruined, do not neglect them, for you will be ruined and do not seek to instruct them for they are wiser than you.” Looking at the above Verses of the Holy Book, let there be no doubt in the minds of any readers, believers or non believers, that the Prophet on orders of the Qur’an was a Ma’sum and so were his Ahlul Bayt.

  • Intra-Quranic Connections in Sunni and Shi'i Tafsirs
    Intra-Quranic connections in Sunni and Shi‘i tafsirs: a meeting point or another area of contestation? Izza Rohman Faculty of Education, Universitas Muhammad iyah Prof. Dr. HAMKA (UHAMKA) Email: [email protected] Abstract This study seeks to shed light on how a celebrated interpretive approach to the Quran considered to be most objective is taken by interpreters from different theological settings. It takes a closer look at how the principle of tafsir> al-Qur’an> bi al-Qur’an> (interpretation of the Quran by the Quran) is employed by al-Shanqiti in his Ad}wa>’ al-Baya>n and al-Tabataba’i in his al-Mi>za>n, taking their interpretation of ahl al-bayt as a main case in point. Noticing how their differences in this issue can be associated with their respective Sunni and Shi‘i backgrounds, this study finds a number of areas where both modern exegetes – and other exegetes most likely – might be influenced by any creeping theological preference in their pur- suit of objectivity and openness to the text. Kajian ini bermaksud menelaah bagaimana sebuah pendekatan penafsiran al- Qur’an yang dianggap paling objektif diterapkan oleh para mufasir dari latar belakang aliran teologi yang berbeda. Bagaimana prinsip menafsirkan al-Qur’an dengan al-Qur’an diaplikasikan oleh al-Shanqiti dalam tafsirnya, Ad}wa>’ al-Bayan> , dan al-Tabataba’i dalam tafsirnya, al-Miza> n> , dilihat lebih saksama terutama dengan mengambil contoh penafsiran mereka tentang ahlulbait. Mencermati bagaimana 73 IJIMS, Indonesian Journal of Islam and Muslim Societies, Volume 3, Number 1, June 2013: 73-95 perbedaan mereka dalam menafsirkan cakupan ahlul bait bisa dikaitkan dengan latar belakang Sunni dan Syiah mereka, kajian ini menemukan sejumlah ranah di mana kedua mufasir modern ini – dan sepertinya juga mufasir yang lain – bisa saja dipengaruhi oleh kecenderungan teologis ketika mencoba menjaga objektivitas dan keterbukaan terhadap teks al-Qur’an.

Imam Hussein derives his glory from of the Messenger of Allah Muhammad Peace be upon him. In fact, I do not find much trouble in a flow of ideas which follows one idea after the other about the wonderful example in steadfastness on the right. And I am thirsty for the moment when the article will be finished to start reading it again. When I started in my writing, I did not know much about the subject, but when I read the references and resources and studied the details of Imam's life, I was surprised with many meanings that added a lot to my personality. When we talk about this great person we must mention the environment in which he grew up and the family from which he descended. They are a family of the Prophet Muhammad (Ahl Albeit), , who are distinguished by good deeds, redemption and sacrifice, the reason for their preference was their commitment to the method of God and they paid precious cost to become the word of God is the highest. َ ََّ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ُ َ ْ )1( )إن َما ُيريد ُالله لُيذه َب عنك ُم َّالر ْج َس أهل ال َبْيت َو ُيط َّه َرك ْم تطه ًيرا( ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ The Holy Prophet Muhammad has recommended all Muslims to love (Ahl Albeit) and keep them in mind.

  • Al-Din Al-Qayyim: on Taqlid and Ijtihad
    Al-Din al-Qayyim: On Taqlid and Ijtihad A Refutation of Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah‟s Arguments against Taqlid Mawlana Habib Ahmad al-Kiranawi 1 Translator‟s Preface In Allah‟s Name, the Infinitely Merciful, the Beneficent. All praise to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. May blessings and peace shower on His final Messenger, Muhammad, his family and his companions. This book is a translation of the treatise al-Din al-Qayyim by the late Indian scholar, Mawlana Habib Ahmad al-Kiranawi, published with a number of his other writings under the title Fawa‟id fi „Ulum al- Fiqh. Al-Din al-Qayyim was written as a detailed refutation of Shaykh Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah‟s (691 H/1292 CE - 751 H/1349 CE) arguments against taqlid from his I„lam al-Muwaqqi„in which offers the most thorough denunciation of taqlid and its proofs to date. The refutation was written in Arabic by Mawlana Habib Ahmad under the supervision of Hakim al-Ummah Mawlana Ashraf „Ali al-Thanawi (d. 1362 H/ 1943 AD) as part of the general introduction to the 20-volume compendium of hadith- proofs for the Hanafi madhhab, I„la al-Sunan.* Mawlana Habib Ahmad in a rigorous and precise manner shows not only that taqlid, which is the non- mujtahid‟s deference to a mujtahid Imam in rulings of the Shari„ah without asking for detailed proofs, is established from the Qur‟an, Sunnah and the practice of the Salaf, but that it is so fundamental and necessary for Islamic scholarship and practice to function at any level that its detractors have no option but to resort to taqlid, while repackaging it as “adherence to proof.” It is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand the structure of Islamic scholarship and the weakness of the arguments presented by those who wish to deny the legitimacy and necessity of taqlid.

Course prerequisites: Introductory- and intermediate-level courses in Religious Studies. RSOC 154. Winter 2016. Jesus in Islam & Christianity. Syllabus. 1 | Page Course description. A prefatory comment: Too often, in my experience, Muslim-Christian dialogue, motivated by a praiseworthy and entirely understandable desire to minimize violence and destructive prejudice, tends to emphasize whatever the two religions share in common. Interfaith gatherings motivated by such concerns sometimes neglect points of substantive difference between the faiths, especially with regard to Islamic and Christian understandings of Jesus. This is regrettable, and certainly not the approach I propose to attempt as you and I undertake this course. Instead, while acknowledging certain similarities between Islam and Christianity, and giving attention to the highly important commonalities they share with Judaism (all three faiths, it should be noted, are given a special shared status in Islamic theology as al-adyan al- samawiyah, “the heavenly religions”), I nonetheless will emphasize the radical differences between Islam and Christianity in their understandings of Jesus. I do this for a specific reason. I believe that highlighting only the similarities between these traditions does a disservice to both, whereas a critical yet sympathetic comparison of Islamic and Christian Christologies allows us to appreciate the distinctive spiritual treasures available in each religion.

  • Kerbala and Beyond
    KERBALA AND BEYOND By Yasin T. al-Jibouri in Kerbala, Iraq (ﻉ) Shrine of Imam al-Husain KERBALA AND BEYOND In the Name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful Preface This is the third of eight books written so far by Yasin T. al-Jibouri. The first was Fast of the Month of Ramadan: Philosphy and Ahkam, and the second was his best book yet titled Allah: the Concept of God in Islam, and we pray there will be many more! Since the reader is most likely interested in knowing who the author is, we would like to state the following: Al-Jibouri was born on August 14, 1946 in Baghdad, Iraq, and he lived most of his life in the holy city of Kazimain. In 1969, he graduated from the College of Arts, Baghdad University, where he majored in English which he taught at a high school in Babylon (Hilla) then at a vocational institute in al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, from which he flew in 1972 to the United States in order to pursue his Graduate degree which he earned in 1978. In the Winter of 1973, he founded the Islamic Society of Georgia, Inc. and started in January of 1974 editing and publishing its newsletter Islamic Affairs which evolved from a four- page newsletter to a twelve-page bulletin, becoming the most widely circulated Shi'a publication in the United States with readers in all the 50 U.S. States and in 67 countries world-wide. In 1975, al-Jibouri received instructions to facilitate the entry to the 2 United States of the very first representative of the then Supreme Ayatullah Abul-Qasim al-Khoei, may Allah reward him, in North America, namely Shaikh Muhammed Sarwar of Quetta, Pakistan who, due to the sponsorship of the author, did, indeed, arrive at the U.S.
