  • Make This Your Best Ramadan Yet! in the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
    A DAILY PLANNER AND GUIDE FOR ALL AGES! 3655 Wheeler Ave Alexandria, VA 22304 IRUSA.ORG 1-855-447-1001 Tax ID# 95-4453134 Make this your best Ramadan yet! in the name of allah, the most gracious, the most merciful All thanks and praise is due to Allah alone, the Lord of the Worlds. We praise Him, seek refuge with Him, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls, and the mistakes in our actions. Whomever Allah Guides, there is none who can misguide him, and whoever Allah misguides, there is none who can guide him. Verily, there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah, and Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger. Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) reminds us in the Qur’an that the month of Ramadan contains limited precious days — with an extraordinary opportunity to reach out and connect to Him. He tells us of this powerfully, All the actions of people are for them, except for fasting. Fasting is for Me and it is I who rewards it. Hence the purpose of this month is Allah — and Allah (swt) alone. Fasting is a means to attain nearness to Him. Keeping this in mind, we must make the most of these days. The best way to take advantage of Ramadan is to develop a Ramadan action plan — because a failure to plan is a plan for failure. If you don’t set goals, it gets difficult to measure yourself and assess the current state of your worship.

  • Preparing for Dr Patrick Graham on Contemporary Islamic Theology We Recommend the Following
    Preparing for Dr Patrick Graham on Contemporary Islamic Theology we recommend the following. OPEN LETTER TO POPE BENEDICT XVI OCTOBER 4TH, 2006 WRITTEN AND SIGNED BY LEADING MUSLIM SCHOLARS AND LEADERS IN RESPONSE TO POPE BENEDICT XVI’S REMARKS ON ISLAM AT THE REGENSBURG LECTURE ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2006 In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, And may Peace and Blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad OPEN LETTER TO HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT XVI In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, Do not contend with people of the Book except in the fairest way . (The Holy Qur’an, al-Ankabuty 29:46). YOUR HOLINESS, WITH REGARDS TO YOUR LECTURE AT THE University of Regensburg in Germany on September 12th 2006, we thought it appropriate, in the spirit of open exchange, to address your use of a debate between the Emperor Manuel II Paleologus and a “learned Persian” as the starting point for a discourse on the relationship between reason and faith. While we applaud your efforts to oppose the dominance of positivism and materialism in human life, we must point out some errors in the way you mentioned Islam as a counterpoint to the proper use of reason, as well as some mistakes in the assertions you put forward in support of your argument. THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION You mention that “according to the experts” the verse which begins, There is no compulsion in religion (al-Baqarah 2:256) is from the early period when the Prophet “was still powerless and under threat,” but this is incorrect.

The author, Professor Abdul Azim Islahi, is a well-known specialist in the history of Islamic economic thought. In this respect, we have already published his following works: Contributions of Muslim Scholars to th Economic Thought and Analysis up to the 15 Century; Muslim th Economic Thinking and Institutions in the 16 Century, and A Study on th Muslim Economic Thinking in the 17 Century. The present work and the previous series have filled, to an extent, the gap currently existing in the study of the history of Islamic economic thought. In this study, Dr. Islahi has explored the economic ideas of Shehu Uthman dan Fodio of West Africa, a region generally neglected by researchers. He has also investigated the economic ideas of Shaykh Muhammad b. Abd al-Wahhab, who is commonly known as a religious renovator. Perhaps it would be a revelation for many to know that his economic ideas too had a role in his reformative endeavours.

    Volume 4, Nomor 2, Desember 2011 URGENSI IJTIHAD SAINTIFIK DALAM MENJAWAB PROBLEMATIKA HUKUM TRANSAKSI KONTEMPORER Oleh : Fauzi M Abstract: This article will discuss abaout the rational urgency to do scientific ijtihad to answer the legal issues of contemporary transaction and also perform scientific ijtihad basis and examples of scientific ijtihad in answering legal issues of contemporary transactions.

Pendahuluan Era globalisasi (the age of globalization), dalam beberapa literatur dinyatakan bermula pada dekade 1990‐an.1 Era ini ditandai, diantaranya dengan adanya fenomena penting dalam bidang ekonomi. Kegiatan ekonomi dunia tidak hanya dibatasi oleh faktor batas geografi, bahasa, budaya dan ideologi, akan tetapi lebih karena faktor saling membutuh‐kan dan saling bergantung satu sama lain.2 Dunia menjadi seakan‐akan tidak ada batas, terutama karena perkembangan teknologi informasi yang begitu pesat. Keadaan yang 1 Globalization is accepted as one of the fundamental of the processes that characterize the contemporary world, a process leading towards an increasingly strong interdependence between increasingly large parts of the world.

  • RS 3131A the Spirituality of Muslim Women Course Outline
    RS 3131a The Spirituality of Muslim Women Course Outline Instructor: Ingrid Mattson, PhD London and Windsor Community Chair in Islamic Studies [email protected] Department of Theology, Room A227 519-438-7224, ext. 269 *Email is the preferred method of communication. Time and Days: Wednesdays 3:30-6:30 Room: V210 Prerequisites: none Course Description and Goals: In this class we will explore the spirituality of Muslim women past and present. We begin with a study of the portrayal of women in the Qur’an and the lives of female companions of the Prophet Muhammad whose concerns and perspectives helped shape the spiritual development of the early Muslim community. In later centuries, we will look at the roles women have played in the establishment of religious discourses and institutions and discuss challenges Muslim women have faced in fulfilling their spiritual needs in diverse societies. We will consider many more questions, such as how spirituality is embodied by women and the impact of such practices as gender segregation and hijab. Does the elevation of “the feminine” in traditional spirituality contribute to Muslim women’s spiritual empowerment or the contrary? What are the spiritual practices and understandings of major life cycles? How do women understand the spiritual dimensions of marriage and celibacy, motherhood and childlessness, intimacy and abuse? Learning Goals: To know what the Qur’an says about women and gender To understand different hermeneutical approaches to the Qur’an and the Sunnah and various legal methodologies that impact women To be able to identify at least a dozen prominent Muslim women religious leaders in history or contemporary society To be able to discuss the ways in which Muslim women’s spirituality is the same or different as men’s spirituality To identify the way culture and social structures shape and impact Muslim women’s spirituality.
