Today, theory refuted by theory and bookstore shelves laden with pockets of restricted knowledge on the do’s and don’ts, quick fixes and principles of how to become a good leader are testimony to the fact that the very concept of leadership is still as significant, still as ambiguous and still as pertinent today as it was in bygone times. Despite the growing industry and popularity of such publications, they are nevertheless tailored to craft leaders in a limited scope or sphere of life. The Muslims on the other hand, already have an impeccable example of the Messenger of Allah whose diverse and unconstrained leadership qualities transformed a marginalized community into the best of people to walk on the face of this earth after the Prophets of Allah, peace be upon them all. Not only was he (Muhammad) himself a leader, par excellence, but he created leaders. He was able to nurture the likes of demoralized and oppressed slaves, enabling them to become leaders of the highest calibre: Rabi’ b. Amir was able to stand in the presence of the second most powerful 5 man on the face of the earth, Rustum, and deliver a speech that penetrated Rustum’s heart more deeply than any arrow or sword could ever have achieved. Umar ibn Khattab, by his own admission, before Islam found it difficult to maintain a flock of sheep but the Messenger of Allah moulded a leader out of him who, within a period of ten and half years, became Commander and Ruler of the expanding Muslim world. If the Muslims want to revive the greatness of the past, they must be educated and motivated by a leader whose leadership qualities connect humans with their Creator; transcending the material and bringing to life the spiritual. With this book, Shaikh Yawar Baig has provided us with an essential source of reference for those of us who wish to take lessons from a leader who was inspired by His Creator and who, for the last 1400 years, has continued to inspire His creation; a man with clarity of vision and purpose of goal unparalleled in history. Naturally, when Shaikh presented me with this book, I was overcome with happiness. I know of no person more worthy of writing on this topic than our beloved Shaikh. Having attended a five-day course on leadership delivered by Shaikh Yawar, the immense benefit of which I can testify to, I have full confidence in the Shaikh to do justice to this expansive topic. We make du’aa that Allah makes this work a source of guidance and revival for the Muslims 6 of today and tomorrow. We pray that He accepts this work from our beloved Shaikh and showers His infinite Mercy and Blessings upon him and his family. Zahir Mahmood, Director, As-Suffa Institute, Birmingham, UK 7 Preface I was recently reading the much celebrated book, ‘Muhammad, A biography of the Prophet’, by Karen Armstrong. This is one of the books about Rasoolullah which, in today’s world culture of increased hostility against Islam and Muslims, is a real breath of fresh air. It is a portrayal of the life of Rasoolullah which is fair and markedly free from the cynical misrepresentation of many Western writers. Another book I read, which was also very complimentary about Muhammad, is the book by John Adair, called ‘The Leadership of Muhammad’. However, what struck me was the tone of writing which reflects the fact that Karen Armstrong and John Adair are not Muslim. To them, Muhammad was a great Arab leader. He had some great intrinsic strengths, took some good decisions, circumstances helped him and he became the predominant leader of Arabia. His followership grew and his followers spread all over the world by a series of military campaigns and through trading expeditions. He claimed to receive revelation from God and launched a new religion called Islam. His period was a significant period in Arab history and the history of the world. There is a distinct difference between how one whose core faith is that Muhammad was the Messenger of Allah 8 and how someone who does not hold this belief, writes about him. This book, however, is not simply an analysis of history. It is a labor of love and reverence while being analytical and objective. It is an attempt by one who not only believes that Muhammad was the best leader that ever existed but who believes in him and his message and wants to share it. The life of Muhammad the Messenger of Allah is rich and full of lessons. It has been so well documented and so much has been written about his life over the centuries that another attempt is almost unnecessary. However, I decided to write this for two reasons: to make the lessons from the life of Rasoolullah relating specifically to leadership easily accessible to the seeker, whether Muslim or not; and to make an attempt to see how these lessons are applicable today in a world that is in principle, very similar to the world he lived in. My premise is this: Since he was able to change his world and take his people from being the most insignificant, oppressed and weakest to becoming the predominant, admired and strongest in just one generation; if we learn how he was able to do it, we will be able to learn how to succeed in our world today. From the many lessons which can be learnt, I have identified 11 that I believe are critical for us to learn. I 9 remind myself and the reader that in the end, it is implementation of these lessons that will spell success or failure. Knowledge is only as good as its practice and so I ask you, the reader to approach this work from the perspective of exploring how to apply these lessons in your public

Lane explains that two ideas are basic to constitutionalism: (a) the limitation of the state versus society in the form of respect for a set of human rights covering not only civic rights but also political and economic rights; and (b) the implementation of separation of powers within the state.

  • Journal of Religion & Society
    Journal of Religion & Society Volume 9 (2007) The Kripke Center ISSN 1522-5658 Muhammad’s Jewish Wives Rayhana bint Zayd and Safiya bint Huyayy in the Classic Islamic Tradition Ronen Yitzhak, Western Galilee College, Israel Abstract During his life, the Prophet Muhammad (570-632) married 12 different wives among whom were two Jewish women: Rayhana bint Zayd and Safiya bint Huyayy. These two women were widows whose husbands had been killed in wars with Muslims in Arabia. While Rayhana refused to convert to Islam at first and did so only after massive pressure, Safiya converted to Islam immediately after being asked. Rayhana died a few years before Muhammad, but Safiya lived on after his death. Classic Islamic sources claim that the Muslims did not like Rayhana because of her beauty and so made an issue of her Jewish origin, with Muhammad being the only one to treat her well. After Muhammad’s death, Safiya lived among his other wives in Mecca, but did not take part in the political intrigues at the beginning of Islam, in contrast to the other wives, especially the most dominant and favorite wife, Aisha. Introduction [1] According to Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad married 12 different wives and had even more concubines. The custom of taking concubines was widespread in ancient times and therefore also was practiced in Arabia. Concubines were often taken in the context of war booty, and it seems that this is the reason for including in the Qur’an: “(you are forbidden) the married women, but not the concubines you, own” (Q 4:24; al-Qurtubi: 5.106).

  • Jews in the Qurʾān: an Evaluation of the Naming and the Content
    JEWS IN THE QURʾĀN: AN EVALUATION OF THE NAMING AND THE CONTENT Salime Leyla Gürkan İstanbul 29 Mayıs University, Istanbul-Turkey E-mail: [email protected] Abstract No other people are mentioned in the Qurʾān as often as the people of Israel. They appear in sixteen sūrahs and approximately forty verses by name (banū Isrāʾīl). The Qurʾān also makes reference to the Jews either by name (al-yahūd/hūd) or within the context of the people of the book (ahl al-kitāb). This paper aims to discuss the Qurʾānic verses about the Jews and the people of Israel in terms of the naming and the content. Key questions to be addressed are: What is the purpose of the frequent mention of the people of Israel in the Qurʾān? What is the context and the content of the verses about the Jews and the people of Israel both in Meccan and Medinan sūrahs? What message or messages are intended to or can be conveyed by these verses? Key Words: Qurʾān, Jews (yahūd/hūd), the people of Israel (banū Isrāʾīl), the people of the book (ahl al-kitāb), the Prophet Muḥammad, Muslims, Islām. Ilahiyat Studies Copyright © Bursa İlahiyat Foundation Volume 7 Number 2 Summer / Fall 2016 p-ISSN: 1309-1786 / e-ISSN: 1309-1719 DOI: 10.12730/13091719.2016.72.148 164 Salime Leyla Gürkan Introduction The word “religion (dīn)” is used in the Qurʾān as a term that includes all religion(s).1 Nevertheless, the Qurʾān does not mention religions or religious systems individually or by name (in fact, there is no Qurʾānic usage of a plural form of the word dīn, i.e., adyān).

  • Selected Hadiths
    SELECTED HADITHS With Biographies of Narrators and Benefits of Eighty Hadiths Part – 4 By Dr. Muhammad Murtaza bin Ayesh Muhammad Translation Mohammad Asadullah Umari Reviewed by Riyaz Basha, Sabir Ahmed 80 Selected Hadiths Preface In The Name Of Allah, The Most High, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. All Praise is due to Allah The Most High, The Creator, The Provider. He has no Partners, and is in no need of any. He is Alone; He made the Heavens and the Earth. He knows what was before time, what is present and what is after. He shows the straight path to whosoever He wishes, and whoever He chooses to bless. He makes them the best among the best. O Allah, send salutations on our Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace), who is the last and final Messenger. After him there will be no Prophets to come until the Day of Judgement. What is the Sunnah? Linguistically, Sunnah is an Arabic word which means a path or a way. However, Islaamically, it is a primary source of law taken from the sayings, actions and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him). As Muslims we believe that the law Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) came with, is a divine revelation from our Creator, Allaah. However many people believe that the Qur'aan is the only form of divine revelation, as it is the literal word of Allaah; This view is incorrect as it contradicts the Qur'aan itself. About the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him), Allaah says: “Your companion (Muhammad) is neither astray nor being misled.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Before the restructuring, Medina’s residents live in hostile environment and constantly waging war between themselves. In Malaysia, population’s restructuring occurred as the result of May 13, 1969’s tragedies, which became a black spot in the history of Malaysia. Through population’s re- structuring, the poverty rates in Medina and Malaysia decrease. There are five key elements that are kept in the population’s restructuring in Medina and Malaysia. These elements are religion, life, intellect, lineage and property. These five elements are contained in Maqasid Shariyah. Keywords Restructuring of Population, Poverty, Malaysia, Medina, May 13, Maqasid Shariyah 1. Introduction The progress of one’s country will not develop without the existence of an understanding among its nation. This situation can be seen throughout the history of Medina and Malaysia. One of the socio-economic and political impacts that can be observed is during the time before the Hijri of the Prophet to Medina and during the May 13 race riots in the year 1969 in Malaysia.
