They are the grandsons of the Messenger of Allah, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted; the sons of Ali Ibn Abi Taleb, may peace be upon hirn, and Fatema the daughter of the Prophet Mohammed. But their honourable placing did not prevent their enemies from plotting and aggressing against them. The tragedy of al-Hasan and al-Hussein grows greater as they are two virtuous members of Ahlul Bait, the family of the Prophet, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted, and the two beloved grandsons of the Prophet whom He called the two sweet basils; and the masters of al-Jannah (Paradise). Allah, Be He exalted, said: «Verily, willeth Allah to keep away from you every unc1eanliness. 0, Ahlul-Bait! And to purify you thorough purifying.» Al-Hasan, for whom may Allah's good pleasure is prayed, was wise, patient, generous, pious, peace-loving, hating seditions and blood-shedding. He never uttered a bad or dirty word. He set examples in generosity and self­ denial. He was areal example to follow. The two grandsons of Prophet Mohammed, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted, were raised by their pious, wise and courageous father, Imam Ali Ibn Abi Taleb. They grew in a high-quality manner and were bred on virtues in a social environment which is the most honourable and the most honest at that time, the environment of Fatema al­ Zahra'a, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah and the lady of world's women. Prophet Mohammed, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted, used to educate them and to take care of them all the time. When the Messenger of Allah was praying and as he prostrated al-Hasan and al-Hussein used to jump on his back. And when they tried to prevent 3 them he gave them a sign by his hand to leave them both up; and he used to keep them into his lap saying: «He who loves me must love these two.» Al-Bukhari reported Abu Bakrah saying: «I saw the Messenger of Allah, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peaee be granted, on the pulpit and al-Hasan Ibn Ali was with hirn. He said as he looked at people one time and at al-Hasan another: My son, this, is a master! May Allah make eonciliation between two Moslems groups.» He added: «When he took over as ealiph he did not shed blood at all.» Al-Hasan and al-Hussein aequired flueney, reason, eool-mindedness, generosity and wisdom from their father and grandfather. They were taught Quran and interpretation from their father Ali may Allah honour hirn, and from their family members and the great eompanions. They also reeeived edueation on prophetie tradition (hadith) from them. Al-Hussein for whom may Allah's good pleasure is prayed believed that al-Hasan should fight Mou'awya as his father Ali, may peaee be upon hirn, did. But, al-Hasan, for whom may Allah's good pleasure is prayed, believed that fighting was not useful for it would eause Moslems blood-letting, Furthermore, he was unable to reunite Moslems and to make them rally behind hirn. For this, he wanted to spare the blood of Moslems and to eome to terms with Mou'awya. Al-Hasan abandoned ealiphate to Mou'awya on the eondition that he would be the ealiph after hirn. And Mou'awya aeeepted this eondition, but he, later, broke his promise and appointed his son Yazid as successor. Some historians said Mou'awya eonspired with Ja'ada (Al-Hasan's wife) and poisoned hirn so as to make it easy for hirn to appoint his son Yazid as ealiph after him. When Amre Ibn al-A'ss and other Mou'awya's eompanions told the latter (Mou'awya) to summon al-Hassan to swear hirn and his father, Mou'awya said: «I swear by Allah, I have always feit afraid of his presenee and his eritieism of my defects.» He summoned hirn and they uttered the ugliest swear words against hirn and his father Ali, may peaee be upon him. The Ommayads harboured hatred against Ali and his sons. So, hatred turned them into blind. Their talk was illogieal and a mere swearing, whereas al-Hasan, for whom may Allah's good pleasure is prayed, was logical and true in his defenee of his father and Ahlul­ Bait (the family of the Messenger of Allah, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted.) Objeetive erities and analysts said: «This is one of the most wonderful debates.» 4 Al-Hasan emerged victorious over the chiefs of Bani Ommaya (the Ommayads.) He left them unable to know what to say. He left them humiliated and feeble. By his reply to them, al-Hasan proved he was arealoutspoken who does not stammer or fear anyone when he wants to say the word of right and truth. He also proved he possessed an iron will and a great courage. Al-Hasan was a wise and reasonable man. He said: «There is no good manners for those who don't have reason; and there is no amity for those who don't have determination; and there is no shyness for those who don't have faith. The prime of reason is treating people with good. And by reason we realize both worlds together.» He also said: «The destruction of people lies in three things: Haughtiness, stinginess and envy! - Haughtiness is the destruction of religion and by it satan was damned. - Stinginess is the enemy of the self and by it Adam was driven out from Paradise. - And envy is the core of evil by which cane killed Abel!» AI-Hussein's tragedy was more painful. He was a true defender of Islam's purity and right puth. He was known for his reason, good nature, faith and wit. He was similar to the Prophet, to whom may AIlah's Blessings and peace be granted. The Messenger of Allah, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be gr:anted, said: «Hussein is apart of me and I am apart of Hussein. He who loved Hussein loved Allah. Hussein is the grandson of grandsons. Al-Hasan and al-Hussein are my two Raihanat (Basil plants) of the world. He who wants to get pleased by looking at a man from the people of al-Jannah (Paradise) let hirn look at Hussein!» The Prophet also used to carry al-Hussein on his shoulders saying: «0, Allah! I love hirn. May thee love him!» When Mou'awya appointed his son Yazid as his successor and ordered his rulers to get forcibly the pledge of allegiance for hirn from all the people, particularly the Shiites (Supporters of Ali Ibn Abi Taleb), he told his son Yazid: «I don't fear anyhody in Quraish but three men: Al-Hussein Ihn Ali, Abdullah Ibn Omar and Abdullah Ibn al-Zubair(...) Al-Hussein Ibn Ali is a witty man. I hope that Allah is sufficient for your support, as al-Hussein's father was killed and his brother was let down. He has a pure descent and a great right as weIl as kinship with Mohammed.» 5 Al-Hussein did not give the pledge of allegiance to Yazid for he, the latter was away from being committed to Islam in faith and in practice. He was busy with his personal entertainment and interests!!! So, al-Hussein told al-Kufa people: «0, people, the Messenger of Allah, to whom may Allah's Blessings and peace be granted, said: He who saw an unjust Sultan (ruler) acting what Allah hath forbidden and breaking the pledge of Allah, contradicting the sunna of the Messenger of Allah, and adopting the behaviour of atrocity and aggression, thereby resisting hirn neither by act, nor by saying, Allah shall punish him.» So, al-Hussein feIt it was his duty to warn people against the dangers of these acts which contradict the very essence of Islam.

Tauris, in association with The Institute of Ismaili Studies, 2013. 315 pages. Despite the progress made in the study of Shi‘i Islam, few publications provide a comprehensive account of its history. Referring primarily to secondary sources, A History of Shi‘i Islam overviews key events going back to the time of Prophet Muhammad to “clarify misunderstandings” and illustrate the var- ious Shi‘i schools’ contribution to Islamic history. From an Ismaili Perspective could have been a helpful subtitle, as will be explained below. The book consists of six chapters: “Introduction: Progress in the Study of Shi‘i Islam,” “The Origins and Early History of Shi‘i Islam,” “The Ithna‘asharis or Twelvers,” “The Ismailis,” “The Zaydis,” and “The Nusayris or ‘Alawis,” ajiss31-3_ajiss 5/28/2014 1:24 PM Page 123 Book Reviews 123 respectively. A glossary is provided; however, not all of the terms used by the author are listed. Each chapter is divided into several subsections. Chapter 1 explores how medieval Sunni scholars influenced the per- ception of Islam as “a monolithic phenomenon with a well-defined doctri- nal basis from which different groups then deviated over time” (p. 4), how the Abbasids launched an anti-Ismaili campaign by fabricating evidence, how European travellers and Orientalists knew little about Shi‘i Islam until very late, and why Ismailism became the main object of attention during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

    Spiritual Journey Author: Ali Hassnain Khan Khichi1 Reccive: 25/03/2019 Accept: 12/10/2019 Problem Statement We will review in this spiritual journey One of the greatest personalities in sacrifice and redemption, he is Hussein bin Ali (Abu Shuhadaa) May Allah be pleased with him, My heart rejoiced and my pen because I have received that honor to write about an honorable person Son of the Master Ali ibn Abi Talib, a pure seed with deep roots in faith. Imam Hussein derives his glory from of the Messenger of Allah Muhammad Peace be upon him. In fact, I do not find much trouble in a flow of ideas which follows one idea after the other about the wonderful example in steadfastness on the right. And I am thirsty for the moment when the article will be finished to start reading it again. When I started in my writing, I did not know much about the subject, but when I read the references and resources and studied the details of Imam's life, I was surprised with many meanings that added a lot to my personality. When we talk about this great person we must mention the environment in which he grew up and the family from which he descended. They are a family of the Prophet Muhammad (Ahl Albeit), , who are distinguished by good deeds, redemption and sacrifice, the reason for their preference was their commitment to the method of God and they paid precious cost to become the word of God is the highest. َ ََّ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ُ َ ْ )1( )إن َما ُيريد ُالله لُيذه َب عنك ُم َّالر ْج َس أهل ال َبْيت َو ُيط َّه َرك ْم تطه ًيرا( ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ ِ The Holy Prophet Muhammad has recommended all Muslims to love (Ahl Albeit) and keep them in mind.

  • Chinggis Khan and His Conquest of Khorasan: Causes and Consequences
    CHINGGIS KHAN AND HIS CONQUEST OF KHORASAN: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES BY ANIBA ISRAT ARA ARSHAD ISLAM INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA ABSTRACT This book explores the causes and consequences of Chinggis Khan’s invasion of Khorasan in the 13th century. It discusses Chinggis Khan’s charismatic leadership qualities that united all nomadic tribes and gave him the authority to become the supreme Mongol leader, which helped him to invade Khorasan. It also focuses on the rise of the Muslim cities in Khorasan where many Muslim scholars kept their intellectual brilliance and made Khorasan the cultural capital of the Muslims. This study apprises us of Chinggis Khan’s war tactics and administrative system which made his men extremely strong and advanced despite their culture remaining barbaric in nature. His progeny also followed a similar policy for a long time until all Muslim cities were fully destroyed. The work also focuses on the rise of many sectarian divisions among the Muslims which brought disunity that eventually led to their downfall. Thus, this study underscores the importance of revitalization of unity in the Muslim world so that Muslims may not become vulnerable to any foreign imperialistic power. Unity also is the key to preserve Muslim intellectual thought and Islamic cultural identities. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the beginning, I would like to say that all praise is to Allah (swt) Almighty; despite the difficulties, with His mercy, and the strength, patience and resilience that He has bestowed on me, I completed my work. I am heartily thankful to my beloved supervisor to Dr. Arshad Islam, whose encouragement, painstaking supervision and tireless motivating from the beginning of my long journey to the concluding level helped me to complete this study.

Yet, until recently, wars motivated or influenced by religious ideologies have been confined to small well-defined theaters. Europe’s Thirty Years War, which ended in 1648, appears to be the only exception in the modern history of warfare.1 Indeed, in the last three millennia the world has seen much war but it has not seen a full-scale religious war of global proportions since the end of the Crusades. There is reason to believe that this state of affairs is about to change. The horrific attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, as well as the Western military incursion in Afghanistan, the invasion and conquest of Iraq, and continuing Islamist guerilla attacks and terrorist violence against military and civilian targets in a variety of countries with signifi- cant Muslim populations makes one wonder whether the West2 * Professor of Law and Director, Program for the Study of Law in the Middle East, Seton Hall Law School.
