The question of choice is very intimately linked with the problematic of predesti- nation and free will, which is one of the most fundamental discussions in early Islamic theology. It is debatable, however, whether the concept of free will is relevant in Muslim discourse or whether we should rather speak about our power to act and make independent choices in our lives, about the relationship of God's divine power and human power. But, then, we should also not speak about predes- tination, but the power of God to determine everything that happens in this world and the hereafter, the relationship of God's absolute sovereignty and human responsibility. The Islamic concept of qadør, which is usually translated as pre- destination or destiny, is central to Islamic discourse. Perhaps it is even more central than the concept of ikhtiyãr, choice or free will. But does it mean predesti- nation? The focus of this book is on the concept of choice in hadith literature, and especially in the collection of al-BukhãrÏ. My aim is to discuss ikhtiyar in al- Bukhâri as such. I am not interested in looking at different possible tendencies in the collection. It might be that by comparing various transmitters by going through the available biographical material of each of them, comparing isnads, and the possible common links in them and the overall distribution and develop- ment of the texts, we might be able to determine certain trends in the development of the collection. However, this is not the aim of my study. I read hadiths as pieces of reality, not as statements about reality. My starting point is the collection of texts as it exists now in its normative, established form; I am not going to evaluate the hadith reports in any comparative way. The isnads are not the focus of attention, either with the purpose of determining which of the transmitters are the most or the less inclined to determinism, or to argue anything about the validity of the transmission or the authenticity of the text. Since the historical accuracy ofthe texts is not relevant in this analysis, it is left aside' I have a special interest in gender studies, and my original concern when I started to do research for this work was to find out different images of women in the hadiths and the ways the concept of female is constituted in the texts. I I my analysis, and, in I Gradually, the concept of choice became more important in i l 1 \ 2 SYLVIA AKAR the end, is has become the main focus of this study. Nevertheless, gender has much to do with choice; one might assume that the choices men and women do and did have in their lives were quite different, and one might also assume that these differences would be present and distinguishable in hadith literature. This is one of the questions I shall deal with. In order to have theoretical tools to base my reading on I studied the methodology of rhetorical analysis. My aim was to develop rhetorical analysis as a tool in the study of Islamic texts and I have made use of some of the termino- logy developed by the pioneers of rhetorical analysis, such as sensitisation and audience, inner texture and intertexture. To give the reader who is not familiar with'ilm al-þadîth, the science of tradition, the necessary background about al-Bukhärï and hadith literature I shall sketch out the life and work of the author and I shall provide a short history of the development of hadith literature during the early history of Islam. A short outline of the development of the concept of sunna and its identification with the Prophet Muhammad will be presented and I shall briefly discuss the collection and classi- fication of hadiths and present a sketch of the geographical area where the most important collectors and compilators of the hadith collections lived and worked. As already mentioned, the historicity of the texts is not evaluated, but I will shortly examine the discussion about the general criteria of selecting hadiths and the personal criteria al-BukhãrÎ used while determining which of the hadiths he knew fulfilled the conditions, shurÌi¡, of a sound or saþtþ transmission.

    MUHAMMAD WIVES Khadijah bint Khuwaylid Edit Main article: Khadijah bint Khuwaylid In Makkah — prior to Hijra — Muhammad lived with his wife Khadijah bint Khuwailid. He was twenty-five and she was forty when they got married. She was the first woman he married and his only wife until she died. None of their sons lived long. Their daughters were Zainab, Ruqaiya, Umm Kulthum and Fatimah. Khadija's own generosity and moral support for Muhammad in his early stage as Prophet of Islam were invaluable to him. Aisha bint Abu Bakr Edit Main article: Aisha Template:NPOV Aisha was the daughter of Abu Bakr, a close friend and confidant of Muhammad, and controversial figure in the differing depictions in Shia and Sunnihistorical narratives. Muhammad married Aisha before the Hijra, however Muslim scholars differ on whether Muhammad married Sawda or Aisha first. Muhammad married Sawda one month after the death of his first wife Khadija upon suggestion of one of his companions. Regardless, Muhammad did not consummate his marriage with Aisha until she reached the age of nine, and lived with Sawda during that time.[1] , and the subject of increasing attention in recent years because critics of Muhammad who accept the majority tradition that she was as young as nine years old when her marriage was consummated believe this. There are several hadiths (said to have been written by Aisha herself) which state she was six or seven years old when betrothed and nine years old when married or when the marriage was consummated. Despite that, given the variations of Ayesha's exact age being reported in different ahadith - some saying Aisha was in her mid-teens or even older when the actual marriage took place - a lot of Islamic academics have said that only using the Hadith and comparing practices of 7th Century Arabia - where child marriages were a common tradition not just in Arabia but India, China, and Europe as well - to the modern is taking the issue out of context.

  • Saudi Arabian Dialects Library of Arabic Linguistics
    Library of Arabic Linguistics The reasons behind the establishment' of this Series on Arabic linguistics are manifold. First: Arabic linguistics is developing into an increasingly interesting and important subject within the broad field of modern linguistic studies. The subject is now fully recognised in the Universities of the Arabic speaking world and in international linguistic circles, as a subject of great theoretical and descriptive interest and importance. Second: Arabic linguistics is reaching a mature stage in its development benefiting both from early Arabic linguistic scholarship and modern techniques of general linguistics and related disciplines. Third: The scope of this discipline is wide and varied, covering diverse areas such as Arabic phonetics, phonology and grammar, Arabic psycho­ linguistics, Arabic dialectology, Arabic lexicography and lexicology, Arabic sociolinguistics, the teaching and learning of Arabic as a first, second, or foreign language, communications, semiotics, terminology, translation, machine translation, Arabic computational linguistics, history of Arabic linguistics, etc. Viewed against this background, Arabic linguists may be defined as: the scientific investigation and study of the Arabic language in all its aspects. This embraces the descriptive, comparative and historical aspects of the language. It also concerns itself with the classical form as well as the Modern and contemporary standard forms and their dialects. Moreover, it attempts to study the language in the appropriate regional, social and cultural settings. It is hoped that the Series will devote itself to all issues of Arabic linguistics in all its manifestations on both the theoretical and applied levels. The results of these studies will also be of use in the field of linguistics in general, as well as related subjects.
