Th e concept of Translocality, as discussed in this volume, has been developed and applied in an extensive research programme at Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO), Berlin. We express our gratitude to the main sponsors of this programme, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the Senate of Berlin. All those who participated in this programme in its diff erent stages between January 2000 and June 2008 as research fellows, visiting scholars or lecturers, have contributed considerably to the gradual development of the concept and its ramifi cations. We are particularly grateful to everyone who took part in the Confer- ence “Translocality: An Approach to Globalising Phenomena?” held at ZMO (September 26–28, 2006). Although it was not possible to include in this volume all papers presented at that conference, their discussions were crucial to the shaping of this book. Th e process of turning a set of papers into a book is always lengthy and arduous. Had it not been for the patient and good-humoured sup- port and co-ordination by Bettina Gräf, Sarah Jurkiewicz and Leyla von Mende, the editors might well have been lost in the process. Joy Adapon did most of the language-editing. We are grateful to Mar- cel van der Linden for the inclusion of this volume into his Studies in Global Social History series, and to Nienke Brienen-Moolenar and Hylke Faber for their support at Brill. Th e Editors, Berlin and Bayreuth, June 2009 LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS Elisabeth Boesen studied Social Anthropology at Freie Universität Berlin and at the University of Bayreuth where she obtained her Ph.D. on the topic of “Identity and Symbolic Forms of Expression among the Fulbe of Northern Benin”.

  • 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).

  • Eksistensi Khawarij Menurut Pemikiran Fazlur Rahman
    EKSISTENSI KHAWARIJ MENURUT PEMIKIRAN FAZLUR RAHMAN SKRIPSI Diajukan Untuk Melengkapi Tugas-tugas dan Memenuhi Syarat-syarat Guna Memperoleh Gelar Sarjana Agama Islam (S.Ag). Dalam Ilmu Ushuluddin Oleh: IDWIN SAPUTRA NPM: 1531010041 Prodi: Aqidah Filsafat Islam FAKULTAS USHULUDDIN DAN STUDI AGAMA UNIVERSITAS ISLAM NEGERI RADEN INTAN LAMPUNG 1440 H / 2019 M ABSTRAK EKSISTENSI KHAWARIJ MENURUT PEMIKIRAN FAZLUR RAHMAN Oleh: Idwin Saputra Khawarij adalah sekelompok orang yang keluar dari barisan Ali Ibn Abi Thalib, di karenakan mereka tidak menerima atas tahkim (arbitrse) yang diterima oleh Khalifah Ali Ibn Abi Thalib dengan Mu’awiyah dalam perkara Khilafah (pemimpin). 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.

Early in the afternoon she was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-27 – she broke in two and sank quickly. Few who were below decks managed to make an escape. Of the 1,511 people on board only 208 men and 6 women survived. It was to become Britain’s third worst mercantile disaster in the Second World War and the worst ever involving British service women, seventy-seven were lost. The destroyers HMS Petard and Paladin went on the hunt for the submarine and eventually sank her, although it is believed that the depth charging caused some further casualties amongst people in the water. It was an incident that Nicholas Monserrat used in his novel “The Cruel Sea”, later memorably filmed. On this Day - February 12 1915 Ballymena Observer - Private James Whiteside, of Monaghan, Ballymena, who serves with the Royal Scots Greys (Royal Scots Dragoon Guards), has been wounded Page 2 February 12 but is off to the front again.

First, my greatest thanks go to my advisor, Diane Owen Hughes, who has guided, supported, and taught me throughout my graduate studies at Michigan. Her intellectual brilliance and breadth of knowledge has shaped this dissertation and my own thinking in so many ways. I could not have asked for a better mentor. I also want to give a special thanks to my dissertation committee. I learned much from long discussions with Michael Bonner, who shares my enthusiasm for the history of medieval and early modern geography and cartography. His advice on sources to consult and paths to follow has been instrumental in the completion of this project. I thank Hussein Fancy, for stimulating conversations and for always pushing me to think in new ways. I have further benefitted from my other committee members, Emilie Savage-Smith and Karla Mallette. Their careful reading and thoughtful critiques have been invaluable to me. At Michigan, the Department of History, the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program, the Eisenberg Institute, and the Rackham Graduate School have provided an intellectual home as well as funding for my research and writing.
