  • The Culmination of Tradition-Based Tafsīr the Qurʼān Exegesis Al-Durr Al-Manthūr of Al-Suyūṭī (D. 911/1505)
    The Culmination of Tradition-based Tafsīr The Qurʼān Exegesis al-Durr al-manthūr of al-Suyūṭī (d. 911/1505) by Shabir Ally A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Copyright by Shabir Ally 2012 The Culmination of Tradition-based Tafsīr The Qurʼān Exegesis al-Durr al-manthūr of al-Suyūṭī (d. 911/1505) Shabir Ally Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2012 Abstract This is a study of Jalāl al-Dīn al-Suyūṭī’s al-Durr al-manthūr fi-l-tafsīr bi-l- ma’thur (The scattered pearls of tradition-based exegesis), hereinafter al-Durr. In the present study, the distinctiveness of al-Durr becomes evident in comparison with the tafsīrs of al- a arī (d. 310/923) and I n Kathīr (d. 774/1373). Al-Suyūṭī surpassed these exegetes by relying entirely on ḥadīth (tradition). Al-Suyūṭī rarely offers a comment of his own. Thus, in terms of its formal features, al-Durr is the culmination of tradition- based exegesis (tafsīr bi-l-ma’thūr). This study also shows that al-Suyūṭī intended in al-Durr to subtly challenge the tradition- ased hermeneutics of I n Taymīyah (d. 728/1328). According to Ibn Taymīyah, the true, unified, interpretation of the Qurʼān must be sought in the Qurʼān ii itself, in the traditions of Muḥammad, and in the exegeses of the earliest Muslims. Moreover, I n Taymīyah strongly denounced opinion-based exegesis (tafsīr bi-l-ra’y).

Dan orang-orang Khawarij ini dicirikan dengan watak yang keras, karena asal usul mereka dari masyarakat badawi dan gurun pasir yang tandus. dan menurut mereka orang yang tidak sepaham dengan mereka dianggap Kafir, baik itu pelaku dosa besar maupun kecil. Karena menurut mereka yang paling benar adalah apa yang sudah ditentukan oleh Allah dan apa yang di dalam Al-qur’an sesuai dengan apa yang menjadi semboyan mereka yakni : La HukmaIlaAllah“ tidak ada hukum kecuali hukum Allah,”. Khawarij ini sebenarnya sudah hilang sesuai dengan sejarah, hanya golongan Al- Ibadiyah yang masih ada sampai saat ini terletak di bagian Zanzibar, Afrika Utara, Omman dan Arabiah Selatan. Kemudian Khawarij ini juga ada yang ekstrem dan yang moderat. Menurut Fazlur Rahman nama Khawarij tak berimplikasi bid’ah dari segi doktrin, melainkan sebatas pemberontak atau pelaku revolusi. Adapun rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah: Bagaimana eksistensi khawarij saat ini. Bagaimana Khawarij menurut pemikiran Fazlur Rahman. Adapun tujuan penelitan ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimaman eksistensi Khawarij saat ini dan bagaimana Khawarij Menurut pemikiran Fazlur Rahman.

  • SYRIA the Constitution and Other Laws And
    SYRIA The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom; however, the government imposed restrictions on this right. While there is no official state religion, the constitution requires that the president be Muslim and stipulates that Islamic jurisprudence is a principal source of legislation. The constitution provides for freedom of faith and religious practice so long as religious rites do not disturb the public order; however, the government restricted full freedom of practice on some religious matters, including proselytizing. Although the government generally enforced legal and policy protections of religious freedom for most Syrians, including the Christian minority, it continued to prosecute individuals for membership in the Muslim Brotherhood, Salafist groups, and other faith communities that it deemed to be extreme. The Syrian government outlaws not only Muslim extremist groups, but also Jehovah's Witnesses. In addition the government continued to monitor the activities of all organizations, including religious groups, and to discourage proselytizing, which it deemed a threat to relations among and within different faiths. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. There were reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. There were occasional reports of tensions among religious groups, some of which were attributable to economic rivalries but exacerbated by religious differences. Muslim converts to Christianity were sometimes forced to leave their place of residence due to societal pressure. The U.S. government discusses religious freedom with civil society, religious leaders, and adherents of religious groups as part of its overall policy to promote human rights.

  • Radicalization of Faith Concept in the School of Islam: Study of Khawarij and Muktazilah
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 14, No. 7; 2018 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Radicalization of Faith Concept in the School of Islam: Study of Khawarij and Muktazilah Ramli Nur1 1 Faculty of Social Science, Universitas Negeri Medan, Indonesia Correspondence: Ramli Nur, Jl. Willem Iskandar Pasar V Medan Estate, North Sumatera, Indonesia. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 29, 2018 Accepted: June 2, 2018 Online Published: June 22, 2018 doi:10.5539/ass.v14n7p77 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ass.v14n7p77 Abstract The Radicalism is an idea or school that pursues revolution or social and political reforms in a tough or drastic way. The school of khawarij and muktazilah (two groups) have marked the history of Islamic thought about the concept of faith. The coloration shown tends to represent extremes in understanding the concept of faith. In general, it makes charitable deeds or branch teachings (furu') as part of the nature of faith. That leads to them getting caught in judging faith based on it being black or white between mukmin and kafir. Therefore the perpetrators of the great sins are punished out of Islam. Not merely categorization, but they also fighting and justifying of Muslims whom they consider to have abandoned the teachings of birth or violated something prohibited on the teaching of birth. Such as of these understandings have mutated in the long history of the Muslims into the various nisbat mentions and often manipulate the religious as legitimacy for destructive radical actions. That is why this idea is quite dangerous not only at the beginning of its appearance but also in the current era to watch out for.

Yasawi International Kazakh-Turkish University, Turkistan, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] The article outlines the prerequisites for the formation of religious views of the great scientist Abu Mansur al-Maturidi and the role of the environment, the time and space where he lived, and where various religions and cultures coexisted. Special attention is paid to the comparative analysis of the text of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi’s book “Kitab al-Tawhid” and the dogmas of such religions as Zoroastrism, Manichaeism, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Tengrianism. The characteristics of various debates and ideological discussions aimed at forming the principles of the teachings of Abu Mansur al-Maturidi are given.

  • Pemikiran Qadariyah Dan Jabariyah Yang Bersandar Dibalik Legitimasi Al-Qur’An
    INTEGRASI ALIRAN PEMIKIRAN KEISLAMAN: PEMIKIRAN QADARIYAH DAN JABARIYAH YANG BERSANDAR DIBALIK LEGITIMASI AL-QUR’AN Suhaimi Universitas Madura Pamekasan Email: [email protected] Abstrak: Artikel ini sengaja penulis angkat dalam rangka untuk memperdalam khasanah keilmuan yang berkaitan dengan persoalan aliran- aliran pemikiran yang pernah berkembang pada masa pasca-wafatnya Rasulullah saw., khususnya Qadariyah dan Jabariyah. Disamping itu penulis juga tertarik terhadap pemikiran kedua aliran tersebut yang saling bertentangan secara ekstrim. Aliran Qadariyah berpendapat bahwa manusia mempunyai kebebasan berkehendak dan melakukan perbuatan, tidak ada sangkut- pautnya dengan kehendak Allah. Namun justru Jabariyah berpendapat lain, bahwa manusia tidak mempunyai daya dan kehendak apapun, semuanya karena atas kehendak Allah. Oleh karenanya dua pendapat yang berseberangan ini perlu adanya integrasi pemikiran agar dapat ditemukan titik temu keduanya. Adapun metode yang dipakai dalam artikel ini dilakukan dengan cara mengkaji literatur-literatur yang berkaitan dengan sejarah pemikiran Qadariyah dan Jabariyah yang kemudian dilakukan semacam interpretasi baik secara objektif maupun subjektif. Kata kunci: Qadariyah, Jabariyah dan Integrasi Pemikiran. Abstract: This article is deliberately adopted by the author in order to deepen the scientific treasures related to the problems of thought of schools that have developed in the post-Prophet Muhammad era, especially Qadariyah and Jabariyah. Besides that, the writer is also interested in the thoughts of the two schools that are in extreme conflict. The Qadariyah sect argues that humans have the freedom to desire and do deeds, nothing to do with God's will. But instead Jabariyah argues differently, that humans do not have any power and will, all because of God's will. Therefore, these two opposing opinions need integration of ideas so that they can be found at the meeting point.
