  • Origin and Development of Urdu Language in the Sub- Continent: Contribution of Early Sufia and Mushaikh
    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 27, No. 1, January-June 2012, pp.141-169 Origin and Development of Urdu Language in the Sub- Continent: Contribution of Early Sufia and Mushaikh Muhammad Sohail University of the Punjab, Lahore ABSTRACT The arrival of the Muslims in the sub-continent of Indo-Pakistan was a remarkable incident of the History of sub-continent. It influenced almost all departments of the social life of the people. The Muslims had a marvelous contribution in their culture and civilization including architecture, painting and calligraphy, book-illustration, music and even dancing. The Hindus had no interest in history and biography and Muslims had always taken interest in life-history, biographical literature and political-history. Therefore they had an excellent contribution in this field also. However their most significant contribution is the bestowal of Urdu language. Although the Muslims came to the sub-continent in three capacities, as traders or business men, as commanders and soldiers or conquerors and as Sufis and masha’ikhs who performed the responsibilities of preaching, but the role of the Sufis and mash‘iskhs in the evolving and development of Urdu is the most significant. The objective of this paper is to briefly review their role in this connection. KEY WORDS: Urdu language, Sufia and Mashaikh, India, Culture and civilization, genres of literature Introduction The Muslim entered in India as conquerors with the conquests of Muhammad Bin Qasim in 94 AH / 712 AD. Their arrival caused revolutionary changes in culture, civilization and mode of life of India.

  • A Thousand and One Wives: Investigating the Intellectual History of the Exegesis of Verse Q 4:24
    A THOUSAND AND ONE WIVES: INVESTIGATING THE INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF THE EXEGESIS OF VERSE Q 4:24 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arabic and Islamic Studies By Roshan Iqbal, M.Phil. Washington, DC July 15, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Roshan Iqbal All Rights Reserved ii A THOUSAND AND ONE WIVES: INVESTIGATING THE INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF THE EXEGESIS OF VERSE Q 4:24 Roshan Iqbal, M.Phil. Thesis Adviser: Felicitas Opwis, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A Thousand and One Wives: Investigating the Intellectual History of the Exegesis of Verse 4:24 traces the intellectual legacy of the exegesis of Qur’an 4:24, which is used as the proof text for the permissibility of mut’a (temporary marriage). I ask if the use of verse 4.24 for the permissibility of mut’a marriage is justified within the rules and regulations of Qur’anic hermeneutics. I examine twenty Qur’an commentaries, the chronological span of which extends from the first extant commentary to the present day in three major Islamicate languages. I conclude that doctrinal self-identity, rather than strictly philological analyses, shaped the interpretation of this verse. As Western academia’s first comprehensive work concerning the intellectual history of mut’a marriage and sexual ethics, my work illustrates the power of sectarian influences in how scholars have interpreted verse 4:24. My dissertation is the only work in English that includes a plurality of voices from minor schools (Ibadi, Ashari, Zaidi, and Ismaili) largely neglected by Western scholars, alongside major schools, and draws from all available sub-genres of exegesis.

    Mahdaviah Insight (A Publication of Mahdavia Islamic Center of Chicago ) January 2020 (Jamadi-I/Jamadi-II, 1441 H) | Vol. 5, Number 7 Editorial: Teachings of Vilayat In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful, On the auspicious occasion of the Milad of our beloved Imam ASWS, let’s focus on the teachings of Vilayat. The teachings of Inside this issue: Islam can be broadly classified into teachings of Nabuwat and teachings of Vilayat. Prophet Muhammed SAS presented the teachings of Nabuwat to the masses but the teachings of Vilayat to only a few who had the capabilities of grasping those teachings. Imam Mahdi ASWS came as the manifestation of Prophet Muhammad’s Vilayat (Vilayat e Muhammadi). Mahdi ASWS said that Allah sent him to propagate the teachings of Vilayat. It is for this reason, Imam Mahdi ASWS did not say much about the Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh). He ASWS said that in the matters of Islamic jurisprudence, follow the rulings that seem to be closer to Qur’an. The mission of Mahdi ASWS is to bring the Editorial 1 The Teachings of Vilayat people closer to Allah by removing all the veils. This would be possible by accepting and adopting the mandatory Ibadah of Nabuwat as well as of the Vilayat. The Vilayat of Prophet Muhammed is supreme, it is the soul of Islam because it is based on pure love of Allah. The mandatory Ibadah are our obligations that we have to honor but the teachings of Vilayat will transform the same obligation into our passion. This completely changes the entire purpose of the Ibadah and the purpose of As’haab e Suffah 2 & our existence, and our destiny.

Contents 1. Summary 2. Religion and Environmental Challenges 3. The MENA region and religion 4. Islamic thought and Climate Change 5. Constraints to action 6. References The K4D helpdesk service provides brief summaries of current research, evidence, and lessons learned.

Summary Almost all religions reflect on the creation of the universe, or universes, in different forms and with varying degrees of clarity or detail. Common across most religions is an agreement that “creation” is an act of God and should be treated as such. This rapid literature review collates evidence on the role of faith and belief in environmental engagement and action in MENA region. The review draws on academic and grey literature and finds an expanding evidence base on the relationship between Islam, Islamic thought and climate change. It also identifies emerging examples of green approaches to pilgrimage and the ‘greening’ of places of worship.

  • Two Episodes from the Life of Bahá'u'lláh in Iran
    Two Episodes from the Life of Bahá’u’lláh in Iran Moojan Momen Summary This article examines two episodes in the life of Bahá’u’lláh in Iran. The first involves an examination of the events, trajectory and timeline of Bahá’u’lláh's journeying between the end of the Conference of Badasht and His arrival at the shrine of Shaykh Tabarsí. There appear to be different versions of this among three sources: Nabíl's Narrative, the writings of Bahá’u’lláh and the writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. This article attempts to examines these events more closely and come to a conclusion about what probably occurred. The second episode involves a close examination of a Tablet of Bahá’u’lláh which is interpreted as revealing fresh information about the experience of Bahá’u’lláh while in the Siyáh Chál. In the writing of history, it is frequently necessary to examine a number of sources about a particular event and come to a conclusion about what probably happened. This paper will focus on two episodes in the life of Bahá’u’lláh in Iran that require closer examination. In this study, use will primarily be made of passages from the writings of Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, supported by other evidence. 140 Lights of Irfán vol. 20 A. The period between Bahá’u’lláh's departure from the Conference of Badasht until His Arrival at Shaykh Tabarsí The first episode to be dealt with is the question of Bahá’u’lláh’s activities between His departure from the Conference of Badasht until His visit to the Bábís at the shrine of Shaykh Tabarsí.
