Imām Bukhāri passed away on Friday, the 1st of Shawwāl, 256 H (the night before Eid al-Fitr). (Al-Hady al-Sāri – pg.477). Bardizba, the ancestor of Imām Bukhāri was a fire worshipper.

Signature: Date: 2 ABSTRACT Demystifying the Muslimah: changing subjectivities, civic engagement and public participation of Muslim women in contemporary South Africa This study interrogates the validity of generalisations about Muslim women. While Islam is undoubtedly important in the lives of most practising Muslim women, rather than regarding their actions and behaviours as governed by Islamic law, the study seeks to historicise their experiences through a life history approach of five women engaged in the civic life of their communities (however widely this may be defined) and in public participation in various ways. Using oral history as a methodology, it investigates what drew these women to civic participation; the nature of their participation in terms of the organisations they are members of and the activities they are involved in; the stimulus for civic engagement and public participation and their achievements in this regard as well as the impact of participation on their identities and subjectivities.

  • 1 Contemporary Wahhabism Rebranded As Salafism
    FIl se peut q ue quelqu ’un d ise : FIl se peut q ue quelqu ’un d ise : Contemporary Wahhabism rebranded as Salafism: the issue of interpreting the Qur’anic verses and hadith on the Attributes of God and its significance Submitted by Namira NAHOUZA to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arab and Islamic Studies, April 2009. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signature) ......................................................................................... 1 ABSTRACT This research studies the theology of those Wahhabis who have now named themselves Salafis. For the purpose of the study, they are referred to as the ‘Wahhabis-self-named- Salafis’ (WSNS). The thesis starts with the observation that the WSNS are usually studied from a political perspective, much less frequently a theological one. Recent research has identified that the theological background of all the different factions of the WSNS is one and the same. This is true for the WSNS who advocate a peaceful way to achieve their goals, as well as those who do not. This thesis aims to explore some of the theological issues that unify these factions. This research demonstrates that, because the WSNS are opposed to the very concept of interpretation of the Qur’an and the hadith, especially when these texts deal with important theological issues such as the Attributes of God, they have developed a vision of Islamic history which is entirely different from the one which had traditionally been accepted by most Muslim scholars and Western academics.

  • Tarawih Guidelines
    - The males shall stand in the rst Sa (row), followed by the children in the second and the women in the third row. Older girls should stand with the women and not with the children. - If there is only one child, he/she should be made to stand in the Sa of the adults in accordance with his/her gender. IMAMAT: - According to the preferred view of the Hana Madh-hab, a person who is not baaligh (reached puberty) TARAWEEH GUIDELINES cannot lead the Taraweeh prayers. DURING THIS PANDEMIC / LOCKDOWN - It is not permissible for women to lead men in any Salah. It is also Makruh Tahreemi to have a woman only BY: MUFTI EBRAHIM DESAI (HAFIDHAHULLAH) Jama’ah. IMPORTANCE: CORRECTING THE IMAM: It is Sunnah Mu’akkadah for males and females to perform 20 Rakāts of Tarāweeh Salāh. - A person not in the same Salah as the Imam cannot correct the mistakes of the Imam. Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) mentioned: “Whoever stands in Ramadhān (i.e. Tarāweeh) with Imān - If a Non-Baligh of understanding age corrects the Imam whilst in Salah, it is permissible. (Fatawa and hoping for reward from Allah, all his past sins will be forgiven”. (Bukhari, 1/16) Raheemiyyah 6/234 – Isha’at) - A woman should not correct any mistakes of the Imam, she should rather clap her hand (hit right hand NUMBER OF RAKATS: on left) and alert the Imam. If she does correct the mistake and the Imam accepts the correction, the Salah Ibn Abbas (Radhiyallahu Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to pray will be valid.
