  • Guerra E Poder Na Europa Medieval Das Cruzadas À Guerra Dos 100 Anos
    GUERRA E PODER NA EUROPA MEDIEVAL DAS CRUZADAS À GUERRA DOS 100 ANOS. JOÃO GOUVEIA MONTEIRO COORD. MIGUEL GOMES MARTINS PAULO JORGE AGOSTINHO IMPRENSA DA UNIVERSIDADE DE COIMBRA COIMBRA UNIVERSITY PRESS Versão integral disponível em digitalis.uc.pt da capital de Oviedo para Leão, em inícios do século X. Timidamente, a resistência cristã começa então a assumir uma postura mais ofensiva e 114 a ameaçar os territórios dominados pelo Islão, avançando também contra algumas regiões que até então se encontravam em poder de caudilhos de fronteira ou sem o controlo de qualquer autoridade político-militar. São avanços lentos mas que, não obstante, ajudam a consolidar cada vez mais a posição do — agora, assim designado — reino de Leão. O desmembramento do Califado de Córdova, pulverizado logo a par- tir dos primeiros anos do século XI em pequenos reinos independentes, as taifas, veio alterar substancialmente o equilíbrio político-militar até aí existente na Península Ibérica entre cristãos e muçulmanos. É precisamente este contexto de fragmentação e consequente enfraquecimento do al-Andalus que irá permitir às forças de Afonso VI de Leão (1065-1109) avançar de forma fulgurante até à linha do Tejo, levando a cabo, em 1085, a conquista da cidade de Toledo, antiga capital do reino visigodo da Hispânia. Pela pri- meira vez desde 711, a balança pendia claramente para o lado dos exércitos oriundos do Norte. Foi, no entanto, uma supremacia de muito curta duração. Conscientes da situação frágil em que se encontravam, alguns dos reinos taifas decidem pedir ajuda militar à dinastia magrebina dos Almorávidas, cujos contingentes, desembarcados em Algeciras em junho de 1086 e coligados, entre outros, com os exércitos sevilhanos de al-Mutamid, a que se somou o apoio de forças provenientes das cidades de Málaga e de Badajoz, infligem uma pesada derrota à hoste leonesa na Batalha de Zalaca (ou Sagrajas), ferida no dia 23 de outubro desse mesmo ano, nas imediações de Badajoz.

Fernandez-Morera: Some Overlooked Realities of Jewish Life under Islamic Rule in Me Comparative Civilizations Review 21 Some Overlooked Realities of Jewish Life under Islamic Rule in Medieval Spain Dario Fernandez-Morera [email protected] It is widely accepted that under Islam the Jewish community of Spain briefly enjoyed a “Golden Age.” However, it is far less widely understood that Muslim, Christian, and Jewish legal and historical sources indicate that favorable treatment violated medieval Islamic law and also that even under the best circumstances, Jews remained subject to the vicissitudes of their condition as dhimmis (“protected” non-Muslims). If there was brief good treatment, it was because of tactical needs of particular Muslim rulers, not legal considerations. Marginalized groups who side with a successful invader normally see their status rise with a change in the political fortunes.1 The Jewish community of Spain was no exception.

  • The Miracles of Muhammad (Part 2 of 3)
    The Miracles of Muhammad (part 2 of 3) Description: The splitting of the moon, and the Prophet's journey to Jerusalem and ascension to Heaven. By IslamReligion.com Published on 23 Jan 2006 - Last modified on 06 May 2014 Category: Articles >Evidence Islam is Truth > Evidence of Muhammad's Prophethood Category: Articles >The Prophet Muhammad > Evidence of His Prophethood Splitting of the Moon One of the times when God performed miracles at the hand of the Prophet was when the Meccans demanded to see a miracle from Muhammad to show his truthfulness. God split the moon in two separate halves and then re-joined them. The Quran recorded the event: "The Last Hour draws near, and the moon is split asunder!" (Quran 54:1) Prophet Muhammad would recite these verses of the Quran in large congregations of the weekly Friday prayer and the bi-annual Eed prayers.[1] Had the event never occurred, Muslims themselves would have doubted their religion and many would have left it! The Meccans would have said, 'Hey, your prophet is a liar, the moon never split, and we never saw it split!' Instead, the believers grew stronger in their faith and the only explanation the Meccans could come up with was, 'passing magic!' "The Last Hour draws near, and the moon is split asunder! And if they see a sign (miracle), they turn away and say, 'Passing magic!'- for they are bent on giving it the lie, being always wont to follow their own desires." (Quran 54:1-3) The splitting of the moon is confirmed through eye-witness testimony transmitted through an unbroken chain of reliable scholars so many that it is impossible that it could be false (hadith mutawatir).[2] A skeptic might ask, do we have any independent historical evidence to suggest the moon was ever split? After all, people around the world should have seen this marvelous event and recorded it.

  • The Miracles of Muhammad (Part 3 of 3)
    The Miracles of Muhammad (part 3 of 3) Description: A mention of other various miracles of the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. By IslamReligion.com Published on 23 Jan 2006 - Last modified on 06 May 2014 Category: Articles >Evidence Islam is Truth > Evidence of Muhammad's Prophethood Category: Articles >The Prophet Muhammad > Evidence of His Prophethood There are many other miracles which the Prophet performed related in the Sunnah, or conglomeration of the sayings, deeds, approvals, and descriptions of the Prophet. The Tree Trunk In Medina Muhammad used to deliver sermons leaning on a tree stump. When the number of worshippers increased, someone suggested a pulpit be built so he can use it to deliver the sermon. When the pulpit was built, he abandoned the tree trunk. Abdullah ibn Umar, one of the companions, gave an eye-witness testimony of what happened. The trunk was heard weeping, the Prophet of mercy went towards it and comforted it with his hand.[1] The event is also confirmed through eye-witness testimony transmitted through the ages with an unbroken chain of reliable scholars (hadith mutawatir).[2] The Flowing of Water On more than one occasion when people were in dire need of water, the blessing of the Muhammad saved them. In the sixth year after the he migrated from Mecca to Medina, Muhammad went to Mecca for pilgrimage. In the long journey through the desert, people ran out of all water, only the Prophet was left with a vessel with which he performed ablution for prayers.

  • His Place in the Tradition of İsbatu Nubuwah Ali B. Rabban At-Tabarī's
    Islamic University Europe Ali B.

Isbātu nubuwwah literature results from the embodiment of Muhammad’s prophethood within the verses. An increase in this literature’s circulation, resulting from the increasing amount of Christians and Jews converting to Islam, is increasing the amount of material written discussing the prophethood of Muhammad (pbuh). However, despite numerous references supporting the multitude of material that ensued, only Ali b. Rabban at-Tabarī’s work remains. Tabarī provides a comprehensive answer to opposing views suggesting that Muhammad (pbuh) is not a prophet. Key Words Prophethood, signs of prophethood, Muslim-Christian relations, miracle, conversion, Kindī, Rāzī, Tabarī Strongly perpetuating the Islamic refutation tradition (raddiya), prophecies and signs indicative of the prophethood of Muhammad (pbup) are established within the holy scriptures of Judaism and Christianity; unmistakably, evidence representative of the prophethood of Muhammad within Semitic tradition. These “Prophecies”, based on the words of the Qur’ān and Muhammad (pbuh), became lively debated subjects, especially among Christians, as Muslims became rulers of places heavily resided by Jews and Christians. Later, becoming one of the essential subjects for the Islamic refutation literature. The relevant texts committed to paper by Muslims were of inadequate Bible knowledge. However, they became more powerful and influential through the contributions provided by an experienced Bible knowledge of converted Christian and Jewish writers.

  • Is Muhammad Also Among the Prophets?
    Is Muhammad Also Among the Prophets? by Harley Talman he prophet Samuel had anointed Saul as king and predicted that the Spirit of the Lord would come upon him with power so that he would prophesy and be changed into a different person (1 Sam 10:6).T And thus it happened that “God changed Saul’s heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day” and he prophesied (10:9,11). This was the last thing that people expected to happen to the “son of Kish.” As a result, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” became a proverb in Israel.1 The same Spirit later empowered him to defeat the Ammonites in battle (11:6). Yet this same Saul disobeyed God’s word and failed in his kingly office. It seems incredible that one endowed with the Spirit of God could act so con- trary to his will. God eventually rejected him as king, and withdrew his Spirit from him (16:1, 14). Saul persecuted David and repeatedly sought to kill him. The way that Saul’s life finished is so tragic that it dominates our memory of him; we forget that he had once been “among the prophets.” However, in recent years some biblical scholars have sought to restore bal- ance to our corporate memory of Saul. Seeking to rehabilitate his image, Ron Youngblood finds that despite his failings, Saul could also be “kind, thought- ful, generous, courageous, very much in control, and willing to obey God.”2 Is it advisable that Christians consider undertaking a similar project with the prophet of Islam? Can the malevolent image of Muhammad in our minds possibly be “rehabilitated”? As surprising as the idea may be, it is worth con- Harley Talman has worked with templating, since one of the most delicate issues we face in seeking construc- Muslims for 30 years, including two decades in the Arab world and Africa, tive dialogue with Muslims is our response to the question: “Is Muhammad during which he was involved in also among the prophets?” church planting, theological education, and humanitarian aid.

  • The Misrepresented Claims of David Samuel Margoliouth on Prophet Muhammad’S Miracles: a Critical Evaluation
    Manuscript received date: 8th September 2017 Manuscript accepted date: 13th May 2018 The Misrepresented Claims Of David Samuel Margoliouth On Prophet Muhammad’s Miracles: A Critical Evaluation Akilu Muhammad Aliu Department of Islamic Studies, Faculty of Art and Education Bauchi State University Gadau, Gadau, Nigeria [email protected] Adibah Abdul Rahim Department of Usuluddin and Comparative Religion International Islamic University Malaysia Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract This paper attempts to evaluate the misrepresented claims of the Western orientalist, David Samuel Margoliouth on the miracles of Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h). Like most Christian scholars, Margoliouth claimed that only Biblical prophets wrought a number of miracles to validate their truth, and Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) possessed no miracle including the Qur’an. To justify his claim, Margoliouth asserted that even the Qur’an clearly points out that the Prophet (p.b.u.h) was never given any miracle, and hence, Muslims’ claims that he performed many physical miracles were just inaccurate and groundless. In attempt to evaluate the misrepresented claims of Margoliouth, this paper examines his main evidences and observations. At the same time, it deliberates a critical investigation of historical Islamic data about the miracles of Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) in order to point out the validity of those miracles. Based on the historical facts, it can be justifiably claimed that Margoliouth’s rejection of Prophet’s miracles was part of his misrepresentation of Islam. Keywords: David Samuel Margoliouth, Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), Miracles, Prophethood Introduction: Critical Evaluation on the Orientalist Views of Margoliouth There are two trends of writings on Islam and approach done by David Samuel Margoliouth.
