Tafsir Ibn Kathir Alama Imad Ud Din Ibn Kathir
Tafsir Ibn Kathir Alama Imad ud Din Ibn Kathir Tafsir ibn Kathir , is a classic Sunni Islam Tafsir (commentary of the Qur'an) by Imad ud Din Ibn Kathir. It is considered to be a summary of the earlier Tafsir al-Tabari. It is popular because it uses Hadith to explain each verse and chapter of the Qur'an… Al A'la The Virtues of Surat Al-A`la This Surah was revealed in Makkah before the migration to Al-Madinah. The proof of this is what Al-Bukhari recorded from Al-Bara' bin `Azib, that he said, "The first people to come to us (in Al-Madinah) from the Companions of the Prophet were Mus`ab bin `Umayr and Ibn Umm Maktum, who taught us the Qur'an; then `Ammar, Bilal and Sa`d came. Then `Umar bin Al-Khattab came with a group of twenty people, after which the Prophet came. I have not seen the people of Al-Madinah happier with anything more than their happiness with his coming (to Al-Madinah). This was reached to such an extent that I saw the children and little ones saying, `This is the Messenger of Allah who has come.' Thus, he came, but he did not come until after I had already recited (i.e., learned how to recite). 3 , Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High. (87:1) as well as other Surahs similar to it.'' It has been confirmed in the Two Sahihs that the Messenger of Allah said to Mu`adh, Why didn't you recite, 3 , !" - Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High, (Surah 87); - By the sun and its brightness, (Surah 91); - By the night when it envelopes. -
DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS in ACCORDANCE to CLASSICAL ISLAMIC LAW THROUGHOUT the MUSLIM-MAJORITY WORLD Introduction
Junayd Rehman TWIN HALVES OF MEN1: AN EXAMINATION OF THE MODERN APPLICATION OF KHULA DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS IN ACCORDANCE TO CLASSICAL ISLAMIC LAW THROUGHOUT THE MUSLIM-MAJORITY WORLD Introduction Simply put, marriage in Islamic Law is a contract.2 Unlike Western notions, be they influenced by various Christian Churches to think of the act of marriage as a holy sacrament, or by the post- Enlightenment secular state—still largely affected by the influence of the Church’s thinking of marriage as a sacrament—marriage in Islam is a contract between two parties, undertaken so they may fulfil their human inclinations and desires, of both procreation and intimacy, within the permissible boundaries of God’s law.3 The first part of this paper will give a brief overview of the concepts of marriage according to Islamic Classical law, and the history and reasonings surrounding its exercise. The second part of this paper will then delve into much of the same except revolving around divorce in multifaceted approaches in Islamic law, one of which is the khula, or the woman’s right to divorce her husband by forfeiting her mahr, which is typically a payment of money or other material possessions—ranging from anything to gold, a house, a vehicle, a parcel of land, furniture, etc.,— paid for by the groom to the bride at the time of their marriage, and is stipulated in the signed marriage contract between the bride and groom.4 The principal of khula will then be more thoroughly examined as an option of divorce in Islamic law, along with its benefits and drawbacks, -
Ethics, Gender, and the Islamic Legal Project

These remarks were delivered on October 20, 2015 as part of the Abdallah S. Kamel Lectures on Islamic Law and Civilization. The views expressed in this lecture are solely those of Professor Katz. © 2016 Marion Holmes Katz. ver the last decade, Islamic studies in Western aca- O deme have taken an “ethical turn” bringing to the forefront the role of projects of ethical self-formation in the lives of pious Muslims. This literature depicts the pre-mod- ern period as one in which Islamic law and ethics were in harmony—a harmony that was disturbed, if not completely upended, by the emergence of the modern state and its proj- ect of codification. Talal Asad defines Shari‘a in the “tradi- tional” model as the means “whereby individuals are edu- cated and educate themselves as moral subjects.”1 Hussein Agrama similarly argues that prior to the modern period “Shari‘a was characterized by interconnected techniques of moral inquiry and criticism that aimed to secure virtues fun- damental to it” rather than being framed in terms of pub- lic order.2 Even Wael Hallaq, otherwise a very differently trained scholar, adopts a similar model that underscores the 1 Talal Asad, “Reconfigurations of Law and Ethics in Colonial Egypt,” in Formations of the Secular: Christianity, Islam, Modernity (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2003), 240. -
The Comparative Study of the Marriage in Islam and Christianity
International Journal of African Society Cultures and Traditions Vol.1, No.2, pp. 54-59, September 2014 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK(www.eajournals.org) THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE MARRIAGE IN ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY Dr. Rahmatollah Babaei School of Low, Payam – e – Nour University Tehran, Iran E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The best way to identify a phenomenon is a comprehensive study and reviewing it, in various perspectives. Comprehensive study and understanding the philosophy of the marriage is not possible without comparison and contrast. One of the most important aspects of this study is the comparison of the marriage in the Islam and Christian. So, the present study, reviews the philosophy of the marriage in Islam and Christian, and then compares them. The main achievement of this study is that both of these religions believe that the only legitimate way to satisfy the sexual needs, make new generation and gaining love is the marriage. But there is a fundamental differences between these two religions. Monasticism and celibacy in the Christian has a special position. Christian considers the celibacy as the mean for being near to God, but in Islam the celibacy is completely rejected. Not only the marriage does not block the way to being near to the God, but also it can be the mean to reach the God. KEYWORDS: Islam, Christian, Marriage, Celibacy INTRODUCTION The words of God not only have great content and are the best guide for the truth-seekers, but also it presents the facts in the best and the most unique ways. -
ABSTRACT Islam, Sex, and Sect: a Quantitative Look at Women's
ABSTRACT Islam, Sex, and Sect: A Quantitative Look at Women’s Rights in the Middle East Alessandra L. González, M.A. Thesis Chairperson: Paul Froese, Ph.D. In this paper I analyze Islamic Social Attitudes Survey (ISAS) data to see the effects of religious tradition and religious practice on attitudes about women’s rights among 1139 college students in Kuwait. Specifically, I test whether religious sect, religious school of thought, political identity, religious experience, religious salience, and religious practice have direct effects on women’s rights attitudes, while controlling for gender, in a majority-Muslim context. My findings show that gender, sect, religious school of thought, and political identity but not religious practice have persistent effects on attitudes about women’s rights.
