  • Nīshāpūrī Scholars in the Formation of Sunnī Scholarship in the Eleventh Century
    Al-Jāmi‘ah: Journal of Islamic Studies - ISSN: 0126-012X (p); 2356-0912 (e) Vol. 55, no. 2 (2017), pp.427-462, doi: 10.14421/ajis.2017.552.427-462 NĪSHĀPŪRĪ SCHOLARS IN THE FORMATION OF SUNNĪ SCHOLARSHIP IN THE ELEVENTH CENTURY Mohammad Syifa Amin Widigdo Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta, Indonesia email: [email protected] Abstract The role of Nīshāpūrī medieval scholars in the tenth-eleventh century in the formation of Sunnī orthodoxy has been rarely discussed. The existing scholarship focuses primarily on the local history of Nīshāpūr and other parts of eastern Muslim world or emphasizes more on the contribution of Baghdādī scholars in the light of the formation of Sunnī legal schools, which in turn is deemed as Sunnī orthodoxy, than their counterpart in Nīshāpūr and other cities in the east. Therefore, this paper attempts to show how Muslim scholars from Nīshāpūr contributed to the advancement of Sunnī scholarship in the fifth/eleventh century through a closer study of intellectual strategies developed and employed by Nīshāpūrī scholars to cope with their local challenges. They built intellectual networking and attempted to integrate legal and theological scholarship in Islamic scholarship to deal with their local problems, which interestingly shaped their distinctive contribution in the light of Sunnī scholarship tradition. By means of this attempt of intellectual networking and harmonizing legal scholarship (fiqh) and theological scholarship (kalām), they were not only able to tackle local problems but also equipped with intellectual means to push doctrinal boundaries within Sunnī scholarship in the fifth/ eleventh century.

  • A Comparison of the References to Muqatil B
    Journal of Semitic Studies LIII/1 Spring 2008 doi:10.1093/jss/fgm045 © The author. PublishedREFERENCES by Oxford TO UniversityMUQATIL Press B. SULAYMon behalf AofN the (150/767) University of Manchester. All rights reserved. A COMPARISON OF THE REFERENCES TO MUQATIL B. SULAYMAN (150/767) IN THE EXEGESIS OF AL-THA{LABI (427/1036) Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jss/article/53/1/69/1729574 by ANKARA UNIVERSITY user on 08 July 2021 WITH MUQATIL'S OWN EXEGESIS* MEHMET AKIF KOÇ ANKARA UNIVERSITY, TURKEY Abstract Muqatil b. Sulayman’s work is the oldest surviving exegesis which comments on the entire Qur’an from the beginning to the end. Ana- lytical comparisons between different manuscripts of this exegesis and the quotations made by the exegetes, who greatly benefited from Muqatil, give us important information about the history of Quranic exegesis. al-Tha¨labi’s references to Muqatil offer valuable data illumi- nating the role of ‘the changing contents’ of the manuscripts in un- derstanding the history of the exegesis. Changing evaluations and criticism about Muqatil’s personality and his opinions show that the history of Quranic exegesis needs to be further critically studied. Introduction Muqatil b. Sulayman’s exegesis has been studied by modern scholars to enable them to elaborate on the history of early exegetical activi- ties. The investigation of the transmissions of Muqatil in al-Tha¨labi’s recently published exegesis, al-Kashf wa al-bayan ¨an tafsir al-Qur’an1 has also contributed to the elucidation of the early development of exegesis and to the understanding of its nature in the following peri- * My thanks are due to Associate Professor Ismail Albayrak (Faculty of Divin- ity/Sakarya University) for comments and for correcting the English text of my ar- ticle.

  • The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan
    The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 George Fiske All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske This study examines the socioeconomics of state formation in medieval Afghanistan in historical and historiographic terms. It outlines the thousand year history of Ghaznavid historiography by treating primary and secondary sources as a continuum of perspectives, demonstrating the persistent problems of dynastic and political thinking across periods and cultures. It conceptualizes the geography of Ghaznavid origins by framing their rise within specific landscapes and histories of state formation, favoring time over space as much as possible and reintegrating their experience with the general histories of Iran, Central Asia, and India. Once the grand narrative is illustrated, the scope narrows to the dual process of monetization and urbanization in Samanid territory in order to approach Ghaznavid obstacles to state formation. The socioeconomic narrative then shifts to political and military specifics to demythologize the rise of the Ghaznavids in terms of the framing contexts described in the previous chapters. Finally, the study specifies the exact combination of culture and history which the Ghaznavids exemplified to show their particular and universal character and suggest future paths for research. The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan I. General Introduction II. Perspectives on the Ghaznavid Age History of the literature Entrance into western European discourse Reevaluations of the last century Historiographic rethinking Synopsis III.

These dimensions are studied from the perspective of Sunni Islam in revolutionary and post-revolutionary Egypt on the basis of a fieldwork conducted in Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo in 2012-2014, as well as of works by classical and contemporary Islamic scholars. This study of Shari’a is guided by the following questions: What kind of political subjectivity is enabled by Islamic jurisprudence when dealing with revolutionary protests, power, and order? What kind of spirituality is entailed by Shari’a rules? To what extent is Shari’a a kind of law distinct from contemporary state law that gives shape to a form of ethical life based on the relationship between acts of worship and

  • Reply to “Abu Alqama” and His Nefarious Attacks on a Narration from Malik Alal----Dardardardar
    REPLY TO “ABU ALQAMA” AND HIS NEFARIOUS ATTACKS ON A NARRATION FROM MALIK ALAL----DARDARDARDAR Praise be to Allah that is due from all grateful believers, a fullness of praise for all his favours: a praise that is abundantly sincere and blessed. May the blessings of Allah be upon our beloved Master Muhammad, the chosen one, the Apostle of mercy and the seal of all Prophets (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all); and upon his descendants who are upright and pure: a blessing lasting to the Day of Judgment, like the blessing bestowed upon the Prophet Ibrahim (alaihis salam) and his descendants. May Allah be pleased with all of the Prophetic Companions (Ashab al-Kiram). Indeed, Allah is most worthy of praise and supreme glorification! In this reply the following narration will be analysed in refutation of a pseudo-Salafi’s claims that it is weak and contains an unknown narrator (majhûl) by the name of Malik al-Dar in its chain of transmission (isnâd). The following has been presented here (sunniforum.com) by one of the brothers in documenting the evidences used to endorse the validity of Tawassul. Imam al-Bayhaqi related with a sound (sahih) chain the following: It is related from Malik al-Dar, `Umar's treasurer, that the people suffered a drought during the successorship of `Umar, whereupon a man came to the grave of the Prophet and said: "O Messenger of Allah, ask for rain for your Community, for verily they have but perished," after which the Prophet appeared to him in a dream and told him: "Go to `Umar and give him my greeting, then tell him that they will be watered.

  • Methodologies for the Dating of Exegetical Works and Traditions: Can the Lost Tafsı¯R of Kalbı¯Be Recovered from Tafsı¯R Ibn Abba¯S (Also Known As Al-Wa¯D.Ih.)? *
    13 Methodologies for the Dating of Exegetical Works and Traditions: Can the Lost Tafsı¯r of Kalbı¯be Recovered from Tafsı¯r Ibn Abba¯s (also known as al-Wa¯d.ih.)? * MICHAELE.PREGILL Introduction CHOLARSHAVELONG sought to recover genuine sources from Sthe early Islamic period for what they might tell us about the con- tours of Islamic discourse before the imposition of normative stan- dards and concepts associated with the construction of Sunni orthodoxy in the third/ninth and fourth/tenth centuries. Before the emergence of ‘classical’ Islam restricted and reshaped the parameters of acceptable thought and practice, the earliest generations of Muslims naturally entertained a broader spectrum of possibilities in the realms of devotional practice, law, historical recollection and interpretation of the Qur’an. The gradual articulation of orthodox standards led to active or passive censorship of received material, for example as presented in the Qur’an commentary of Abū Ja1far al- 2abarī (d. 311/923), the first great monument to the nascent ideology of Sunnism in the tafsīr genre. Thus, identifying authentically pre- classical literary works, or at least authentically pre-classical strata of material within works composed at a later time, has long been a pri- ority for scholars of tafsīr, just as it has been for those working in other fields in the study of the early Islamic tradition. * I would like to acknowledge the many helpful comments I have received on this paper from various scholars, especially Andrew Rippin and Gerald Hawting; Devin Stewart and Walid Saleh have also offered much-needed advice. 393 Michael E.
