In a thorough analysis of these works, readers find that not only were these prominent authors drawing from Sufi ideals to venerate the Prophet, but also outputting significant propositions and arguments that helped maintain the preservation of Islamic values, and rebuild Muslim culture in a South Asian subcontinent that had been in a state of colonization for centuries.

  • Mawlid Al-Nabi Celebrating Our Messenger
    Mawlid al-Nabi Celebrating Our Messenger The Burda of Imam al-Busiri Mawlya ßallı wa sallim d√iman abadan. Al ˛abıbika khayr al‐khalqi kullihimi. My Lord send blessings and peace always forever. Upon your beloved, thebest of all creation. Amin tadhakuri jırnin bi dhı salami. Mazajta daman jar min muqlatin bidami. Is it because of your memory of the neighbours of Dhi‐Salam (a village), that tears mixed with blood are wept? Am habbat al‐rıhu min tilq√i k÷imatin. Aw awma∂al‐barqu fil‐÷alm√ı min i∂ami. Or is it due to the breeze blowing from Ka÷ima (another village), or it is lightning from the darkness of the I∂am? Fa m li aynayka in qulta kfuf hamat. Wa m li qalbika in qult astafiq yahimi. What happened to your eyes? The more you tell them to stop, the more they cry. And your heart? The more you tell it to come to its senses, the more it is distracted. Aya˛sibu al‐ßabbu ann al‐˛ubba munkatimun. M bayna munsajimin minhu wa mu∂†arimi. Does the lover think that his love can be concealed, while his eyes are shedding tears and his heart is glowing?

Philippe BOURMAUD Article Archiv Orientalni 2009 The political and religious dynamics of the Mawlid al-nabawī in Mandatory Palestine ABSTRACT : The politicization of the Nabi Musa festival during the Palestine Mandate is a well-known fact, yet other Arab Palestinian festivals knew a similar transformation in the same context. Such was the case of the Mawlid al-nabawī (birthday of the Prophet Muhammad). Arab nationalists meant it to evolve into a communal festival for all the Arabs of Palestine. Yet, for mainly denominational, geographical and political reasons, the attempt met with diverse success throughout the territory of the Palestine Mandate. Attendance to public festivities remained decidedly Muslim in character. Repeated appeals to Christian participation were of little avail.

  • Tarab in the Mystic Sufi Chant of Egypt
    Tarab in the Mystic Sufi Chant of Egypt by Michael Frishkopf1 Department of Music – University of Alberta (from Colors of Enchantment: Visual and Performing Arts of the Middle East, ed. by S. Zuhur (The American University in Cairo Press, Jan 2001)) I. Introduction to Music, Emotion, and Sufism The aesthetic concept of tarab finds no ready translation from the Arabic. Narrowly defined, it refers to musical emotion and the traditional musical-poetic resources for producing it, especially expressive solo singing of evocative poetry, in an improvisatory style, employing the traditional system of maqam (melodic mode). Traditionally, the singer is accompanied by a small, flexible, heterogeneous instrumental ensemble (the takht). Affective texts, precise intonation and enunciation, proper elaboration of the maqam, idiomatic improvisation, tasteful modulation, and correct execution of the qafla (melodic cadence) are all factors critical to the development of tarab in performance.2 Tarab also depends on consonant performer-listener interactions, in which experienced listeners (sammica) react to the music by expressing emotion through vocal exclamations and gestures, especially during the pause which follows the qafla; the singer in turn is moved and directed by such "feedback".3 Through this dynamic relationship, emotion is shared, exchanged, and amplified among participants. The harmonious relation between the singer and the words he or she sings is also critical to tarab, since the singer must sing with sidq (sincerity), expressing true feeling

  • Muslim Holidays: Fact Sheet October 31, 2017 (R45003) David S
    CRS Reports & Analysis Muslim Holidays: Fact Sheet October 31, 2017 (R45003) David S. Gibbs, Head, Reference and Information Services Section ([email protected], 7-7110) View Acknowledgments Related Author David S. Gibbs Introduction Islam is one of the three major Abrahamic faiths, alongside Judaism and Christianity. Islam, considered by the Pew Research Center to be the world's fastest growing religion, has approximately 1.8 billion followers worldwide, of whom some 3.35 million live in the United States.1 Muslims annually observe two major holidays: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. This fact sheet describes the two holidays' significance and American Muslims' observance of them, and addresses the ways the holidays have been recognized by elected officials. The fact sheet also briefly describes two other widely celebrated Muslim holidays. This fact sheet is designed to assist congressional offices with work related to Islamic holidays. It contains sample speeches and remarks from the Congressional Record, presidential proclamations and remarks, and selected historical and cultural resources. This is part of a series of Congressional Research Service fact sheets on religious holidays in the United States. Dates of Holidays As Islamic dates are based on the lunar calendar, they are traditionally determined by sightings of the new moon by the naked eye. This practice is seen as a religious requirement by some Muslims. Because of this traditional reliance on lunar observation, dates are referred to as approximate until the new moon is actually sighted.2 As a result of technological advances and a better understanding of astronomy, some Muslims are becoming more accepting of astronomical predictions to predetermine dates.

    108 The American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences 35:3 The Practice of Islam in America: An Introduction Edward Curtis IV, ed. New York: New York University Press, 2017. 296 pages. Since September 11, American Muslim identities, political views, sensi- bilities, and even private lives have been studied by academics, pollsters, government agencies, and think tank researchers. This renewed interest on the nexus of religious and national identity has produced a vast volume of publications, cross-cutting each social science discipline and thematic re- search area. Some are even available online, such as #islamophobiaisracism syllabus, #BlackIslamSyllabus and ISPU’s Muslim American Experience Bibliography page. What is often lost in this conversation, however, are the nuances that influence everyday lives of American Muslims and their practice of Islam. Situated within religious studies and Islamic studies scholarship and speak- ing to a broad disciplinary array, the edited volume The Practice of Islam in America: An Introduction is a much-needed contribution to the scholarship on Islam and American Muslims. The book’s editor, prolific and prominent scholar and historian of Is- lam in America, Edward Curtis IV, explains the goals of the book in this sentence: “This book is driven by the desire to provide clear answers to es- sential, and basic, questions about how observant Muslim Americans prac- tice Islam…” (2). Importantly, the book delivers on its promise to provide a lived religion perspective (3). While the twelve chapters in The Practice of Islam in America examine distinct practices and themes, the chapters synergize in giving voice to a lived religion perspective on American Muslims’ practices.

  • Mawlid Un-Nabi : Celebrations of the Birth of Prophet Muhammad Are Worldwide
    ْ َّ ْ ٰ َّ ْ ِﺑ ﺴ ِﻢ ﷲِ اﻟﺮﲪ ِﻦ اﻟﺮ ِﺣﻴ ِﻢ MAWLID UN-NABI : CELEBRATIONS OF THE BIRTH OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ARE WORLDWIDE Siddiq Osman Noormuhammad (Request: Please recite the benedictions as given to gain the full blessings). 1.The main conclusions of this study All praise is for Allah and may the peace and blessings of Allah shower in perpetuity on our Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa (53 B.H-11A.H, 571-632 C.E). When we recite the Holy Qur’an, Hadith Sharif, sīrah (biography) and books about the Mawlid (birth) of our Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad to study the topic of his birth, and when we organize and/or attend gatherings of Mawlid un-Nabi to celebrate his birth, and when we benefit from the oral tradition, we come to the following observations and conclusions. The birth of our Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad is the most historic birth of any human being and the most significant event in world history as Allah sent him as the Final Prophet for all creation till the end of time to establish Islam which is the universally acceptable and accepted religion till the end of time. With the Grace and Mercy of Allah , he will take more people with him to Paradise than any other Prophet . For this reason, the date of his birth, 12th Rabi‘ ul-Awwal, is the most important date in the whole of human history. The year he was born is the most significant year in all human history, as in that year Allah saved from destruction the Holy Ka‘ba which is the most loved building in the whole of human history for all times.

  • Interpretation and Overinterpretation of Ja'far Ibn Hasan Al-Barzanji's
    HUMANIORA VOLUME 29 Number 3 October 2017 Page 316–326 Interpretation and Overinterpretation of Ja’far Ibn Hasan Al-Barzanji’s Mawlid Al-Barzanji Fadlil Munawwar Mansur Universitas Gadjah Mada E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article examines the use of interpretation and overinterpretation in understanding Ja’far ibn Hasan al-Barzanji’s text, Mawlid al-Barzanji, one of the religious literatures in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that Mawlid Al-Barzanji which contain majesty, miracles, prayer, and profound love for the Prophet is widely responded by Indonesian Muslims through the process of reading, interpretation, and appreciation. Such widespread acceptance is due to the fulfillment of interpretation requirements which requires the existence of a common world view between author and reader or interpreter. On the other hand, overinterpretation occurs when the text of Mawlid Al- Barzanji is interpreted by those who have different world views as a result of different religious ideas and religious ideologies. Such overinterpretation invites negative response, ideological prejudice, and rejection of some parts of Al-Barzanji text by those who identify themselves as a salafi group. Keywords: interpretation, overinterpretation, Mawlid al-Barzanji, religious literature. INTRODUCTION sky, outer world and inner world, social dimension Religious literary works have existed in Indonesia and transcendental dimension, microscopic and since the advent of Islam in the Archipelago macroscopic, man and his Creator (Anwar, 2007: approximately in the 7th century AD (Qadir, 2004: 11).

    TEXTS IN THE MAWLID COLLECTION IN HARAR: Title SOME FIRST CRITICAL OBSERVATIONS Author(s) GORI, Alessandro African study monographs. Supplementary issue (2010), 41: Citation 51-62 Issue Date 2010-03 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/108284 Right Type Journal Article Textversion publisher Kyoto University African Study Monographs, Suppl.41: 51-62, March 2010 51 TEXTS IN THE MAWLID COLLECTION IN HARAR: SOME FIRST CRITICAL OBSERVATIONS Alessandro GORI Department of Linguistics, University of Florence ABSTRACT In my paper I would like to try to describe in a philological and comparative perspective the content of the constellation of texts most commonly known under the title of “Mawlidd sharaf al-‘alamin.” The collection is preserved and transmitted in a quite relevant number of manuscripts kept in Harar, in Ethiopia and abroad and in at least four different printed editions. It contains the basic textual material recited and sung in Harar during Mawlūd feasts and other Mawlūd related ceremonies. The main literary features of the texts of the collection will be dealt with. The complex and variegated nature of the infl uences and of the different suggestions that were at work in the process of formation and development of the “Mawlidd sharaf al-‘alamin” will be highlighted. Moreover, the relationship between the written tradition and the musical and liturgical functions of the texts of the collection will be analyzed. The role that the collective performances of the “Mawlūd ” played in catalyzing a process of change in the structure and the content of the written tradition will be tentatively studied. Key Words: Islamic culture in Ethiopia; Islamic literature in Ethiopia; Harari literature.

  • Ulqinaku Study Guide
    The Albanian Mawlid of Hafiz Ali Ulqinaku (r.a.) STUDY GUIDE MUSLIM ACADEMIC TRUST 1436 1 Thank you for your support for the Cambridge New Mosque Project. This recording is a gift to our Project by a group of students of traditional sacred knowledge in the noble Muslim land of Albania. We are proud to present this recording, which gives a unique insight into a purely traditional scene of Balkan mosque life, with English subtitles taken in part from the translation by E.J.W. Gibb of the Mawlid of Süleiman Çelebi, may Allah’s mercy rest upon him. The singers include many from the very old generation who learned and loved the Mawlid publicly before the official prohibition of religion in Albania by the atheist regime of Enver Hoxha in 1967, and secretly after that time. Between 1967 and 1992, scholars were mocked, tortured and imprisoned for their lack of belief in atheism. The country’s mosques were closed and most were destroyed. Under a law of 1976, failure to accept atheism carried an automatic ten-year prison sentence. Many ulema were killed; among the martyrs we remember Albania’s grand mufti, Hafiz Ibrahim Dibra, and mufti of Durrës Mustafa Efendi Varoshi, and hundreds of others. (Abdal Hakim Murad) 2 The life and work of Hafiz Ali Ulqinaku Rezart Beka Hafiz Ulqinaku was an Albanian born in Ulqin, Montenegro, in 1853. He finished his elementary school and part of his madrasa education in Ulqin, and the rest of his studies in Shkodra (Albania) in the Bushatllinjve Madrasa, where he received his ijazah.
