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. -

Spiritual Journey Author: Ali Hassnain Khan Khichi1 Reccive: 25/03/2019 Accept: 12/10/2019 Problem Statement We will review in this spiritual journey One of the greatest personalities in sacrifice and redemption, he is Hussein bin Ali (Abu Shuhadaa) May Allah be pleased with him, My heart rejoiced and my pen because I have received that honor to write about an honorable person Son of the Master Ali ibn Abi Talib, a pure seed with deep roots in faith. 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.
