Ideological Background of Rationality in Islam
31 Al-Hikmat Volume 28 (2008), pp. 31-56 THE IDEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF RATIONALITY IN ISLAM MALIK MUHAMMAD TARIQ* Abstract. Islam the religion of Muslims, founded on Qu’rānic revelations transmitted through the Prophet Muhammad (570-632 AD). The Arabic roots slm, convey the ideas of safety, obedience, submission, commitment, and dedication. The word Islam signifies the self-surrender to Allah that characterizes a Muslim’s relation- ship with God. Islamic tradition records that in 610 and 632 CE Prophet Muhammad began to receive revelations from God through the mediation of Angel Gabriel. The revelations were memorized and recorded word by word, and are today found in Arabic text of the Qur’ān in the precisely the manner God intended.1 The community, working on the basis of pieces of text written ‘on palm leaves or flat stones or in the heart of men’, compiled the text some thirty years after the death of Prophet Muhammad.2 All the Muslims assert unequivocally the divine authorship of the Qur’ān, Muhammad is but the messenger through which it was revealed. Theoretically, the Qur’ān is the primary source of guidance in the Islamic community (Ummah). The Qur’ān text does not, however, provide solutions for every specific problem that might arise. To determine norm of practice, Muslims turned to the lives of Prophet Muhammad and his early companions, preserved in Sunnah, the living tradition of the community. Originally the practicing of Sunnah varied from place to place, reflecting the pre-Islamic local customs of particular region. By the 9th century, however, the diversity evident in local traditions was branded as an innovation (bid’a). -

Jeddah Tower for Web.Indd
Jeddah Tower Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Jeddah Tower Jeddah, Saudi Arabia At over 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) and a total construction area of 530,000 square meters (5.7 million square feet), Jeddah Tower— formerly known as Kingdom Tower—will be the centerpiece and first construction phase of the $20 billion Kingdom City development in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, near the Red Sea. SERVICES Expected to cost $1.2 billion to construct, Jeddah Tower will be a mixed-use building featuring a luxury hotel, office Architecture space, serviced apartments, luxury condominiums and the world’s highest observatory. Jeddah Tower’s height will be Interior Design at least 173 meters (568 feet) taller than Burj Khalifa, which was designed by Adrian Smith while at Skidmore, Owings Master Planning & Merrill. CLIENT AS+GG’s design for Jeddah Tower is both highly technological and distinctly organic. With its slender, subtly Jeddah Economic Company asymmetrical massing, the tower evokes a bundle of leaves shooting up from the ground—a burst of new life that FUNCTION heralds more growth all around it. This symbolizes the tower as a catalyst for increased development around it. Mixed use The sleek, streamlined form of the tower can be interpreted as a reference to the folded fronds of young desert plant FACTS growth. The way the fronds sprout upward from the ground as a single form, then start separating from each other at 1,000+ m height the top, is an analogy of new growth fused with technology. 530,000 sm area While the design is contextual to Saudi Arabia, it also represents an evolution and a refinement of an architectural continuum of skyscraper design. -

Online Islamic Da'wah Narratives in the UK: the Case of Iera
Online Islamic Da'wah Narratives in the UK: The Case of iERA by MIRA A.

ABSTRACT This thesis is an in-depth study into two of the UK charity iERA's da'wah narratives: the Qura'nic embryology 'miracle' and the Kalam Cosmological Argument. While the embryo verses have received scholarly attention, there is little to no research in the da'wah context for both narratives. Berger and Luckmann's social constructionism was applied to both, which were problematic. It was found that iERA constructed its exegesis of the embryo verses by expanding on classical meanings to show harmony with modern science. Additionally, it developed the Cosmological Argument by adapting it to Salafi Islamic beliefs. The construction processes were found to be influenced by an online dialectic between iERA and its Muslim and atheist detractors, causing it to abandon the scientific miracles and modify the Cosmological Argument. -

SHEIKH TAWFIQUE CHOWDHURY Preview Version
Preview Version SHEIKH TAWFIQUE CHOWDHURY Preview Version Importance of this knowledge 1. This knowledge is of the most excellent without any exception. The excellence of any field of study is determined by its subject. The subject studied here is Allah's Names, His Attributes and His actions, which are the greatest matters that can be known, therefore Tawhid of Allah's Names and attributes is the greatest of sciences. Some of the salaf said, “Whoever wishes to know the difference between the speech of the creator and of the creation, should look at the difference between the Creator and the creation themselves.” Different verses in chapters in the Qur'an vary with each other in excellence. This is because of the different subjects they deal with. Surah Al-Ikhlas equals one-third of the Qur'an because it is dedicated to describing Al-Rahman. One of the Salaf said, “Tabbat Yada Abi Lahab” is not like “Qul Huwallhu Ahad”. Ayat Al-Kursi is the greatest Ayah in the Qur'an as it is devoted to describing Allah, His Majesty and Greatness. Likewise Al-Fatiha is the greatest Sura in the Qur'an. It is based on the praise of Allah. 2. Teaching Allah's Names and Attributes is one of the greatest goals of the Qur'an The Quran in its entirety is simply a call to Tawheed. Ibn Al- Qayyim stated, “Every Sura in the Qur'an comprises Tawhid. In fact, I shall state an absolute: Every verse in the Qur'an comprises Tawhid, attests to it, and calls to it. -
