Abstract:

In this evaluative article, we critique the works of the Islamic scholar and Orientalist Ibn Warrāq. An anonymous author, Ibn Warrāq is widely recognised by scholars of the field as a pseudo-scholarly prominent figure with highly polemical tendencies. There can be no doubt that healthy revisionism is the epitome of academic learning and intellect, but the writer in question betrays very little ability or desire for serious knowledge, that can only be gained through meticulous scholarship and an impartial demeanour. As such, I contend that Ibn Warrāq can be more accurately regarded as an ex-Muslim representative of a particular group of Orientalists with conspiratorial tendencies. This group, which also includes figures such as the more scholarly Michael Cook and Patricia Crone, is unambiguously the implicit harbinger of the modern political agenda of right-wing Islamophobia, which has been in the making throughout Europe and North America since at least the early-1970s.

Abstract:

This universe, which is called Universe in English, literally means a unique species. It has always been the center of human attention. Initially, it was considered that it might be the only species of its kind. And the existence of another such universe is not possible under any circumstances. In general, there is an organized and organized system of cosmic objects and treasures between them. Which is created by the creator of the universe. In the beginning, man thought that this universe is limited only to our planet, therefore, the center of all his efforts has been this earth, sky and man. Human imaginations kept them wandering around the things that when, where, or Ruks created this universe? How does it work? What are the limits of this universe? Can human consciousness reach the height where the correct understanding of the universe is possible? When this universe was created, under what principles has it evolved? What is the end point of this universe in relation to the rules and regulations that reveal the different destinations of this evolutionary journey?In the history of human sciences, there are many theories about the existence of the universe that describe the countless conditions of its beginning. Initially, the hypothesis was established that this universe is not completely solid and unchanging, but with movement. It is also expanding. According to the careful assumptions of recent scientific research, about fifteen billion years have passed since the birth of this universe. What was it before?Science is completely unable to answer this. Therefore, the solution of this mystery is possible only with complete faith in this statement of the Almighty.

Abstract:

Imām Hamd bin Muhammad Imām Al-Khattābī (d. 388 AH) is one of the most prominent Islamic scholars of fourth-century A.H. He was the first author who wrote a commentary on Sunan-Abi-Dawood and Sahih-al-Bukhari. Unfortunately, he could not write any specific book on commentary on the Quran. However, rich data in respect of commentary and interpretive aspects of Quranic verses, as well as regarding Uloom-ul-Qur’ān, is present in his books. This article presents an overview of Uloom-ul-Qur’ān found in his books. The authors researched thoroughly to compile the various subjects of Uloom-ul-Qur’ān such as causes of revelation, abrogating and the abrogated verses and definition, conditions and examples of the Qur’anic verses whose meaning is clear (Mohkamaat), and the Qur’anic verses that need exegesis (Mutashabihaat). In addition, the aspect of precedence and deferments of the Quranic verses, the use of metaphorical words and the discussion of using an alternate word for understanding the meaning of the Quranic verse are also presented in the article. Besides, the authors have discussed enough discourse that highlights the excellence of Imām Al-Khattābī in Uloom-ul-Qur’ān. In the end, a conclusion is presented in which it is suggested to work on the indicated subjects of the books of Imām Al-Khattābī to appreciate his squarely encompassing knowledge.

Abstract:

Hudōd refers to the prescribed sharī'ah punishments which have been proved with certainty from the Qur’anic text and sayings of His Messenger (peace be upon him) and no one has the right to amend or reduce them or to terminate them. Other Penalties refer to those sharī'ah punishments which are at the discretion and ijtihād of the ruler and the judge and which are subject to change and modification. Discussion of Hudōd and penalties is the most important chapter of Islamic jurisprudence from the perspective of the implementation of Islamic Law in an Islamic state. The opinions of the Tabi’een; disciples of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) have legal status to authenticate anything from a juristic perspective. The Hanafi, Shafi'i and other schools of jurisprudence have originated, proved or seconded their juristic rulings from the sayings of disciples of the companions of the Last Prophet (peace be upon him). Sufficient examples have been produced in this article to highlight the significance of the verdicts of Tabi’in.

Abstract:

Zakāt is very important in the economic system of Islam. One of the important conditions for the obligation of zakat is that the person giving zakat should be adult, sane and free. Upon these two conditions, there is considerable disagreement among the eminent jurists. Briefly it can be summed up that there are basically three groups regarding the necessity and non-necessity of giving Zakat of a wealthy Muslim child or Lunatic. 1. Zakat will be required on the entire property of a wealthy Muslim child or Lunatic. 2. Zakat will not be required on the entire property of a wealthy Muslim child or Lunatic. 3. Zakat will be required on the partial property of a wealthy Muslim child or Lunatic. This research basically describes the arguments of two groups, while the arguments of the third group share the arguments of the first two groups. The finding of this research is that the opinion based on the non-necessity of Zakat on the property of a wealthy Muslim child or a Lunatic is more correct on these grounds. Firstly, zakat is an act of worship and for the obligation of worship it is a condition to be adult and sensible. Secondly, the hadith mentioned in this research clearly shows that Zakat should not be levied on the property of the wealthy child. Thirdly, the demands imposed on the child by the people will be paid because they are related to the rights of the people. Besides, the payment of Ushr by the child and the Lunatic will be mandatory, because the arguments of the Qur'an and Sunnah which make the payment of ‘Ushr obligation apply to all types of land, even if it is the land of the child and the Lunatic.

Abstract:

New methods of analysing historical events are applied to the study of Seerah by Orientalists and some Muslim rationalists. Sometimes the conclusions drawn from the study of Seerah seem to be in agreement with the spirit of modern age but they often conflict with the very spirit of Islam. Muslim modernists and orientalists often seem to interpret Seerah in a way that endorses their own point of view regarding Islam. In this study, an attempt has been made to analyse the work of those Seerah writers who have tried to portray the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on materialistic grounds, i.e., who have tried to prove that the real purpose of Prophet's struggle was to bring about a social and economic revolution that will end all kind of social discriminations in the world. Such writers indirectly try to undermine the importance of dogma in Islam and over stress the value of social and economic teachings of the Prophet. As a complete code of life Islam addresses all the aspects of human life, however, faith has a pivotal role in Islam and all its teachings are somehow a source of strengthening its beliefs. The writers who try to fit the life and teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the frame of historical materialism, appear to overlook the very essence of his teachings. While applying such ideas to the life of the Prophet, some orientalists even try to slander him by saying that the purpose of all his struggle was to gain power and authority which he finally achieved in Madinah. In this research study the views of such writers (who either try to prove Prophet a social reformer or portray him as a common man, overpowered by his desires) have been analysed in the light of historical facts, Quran and Hadith.

Abstract:

Dressing is an inevitable and natural need for humankind. It is a silent language of a man’s social, economic, psychological and cultural life. A person's dress describes his society, values, traditions, lifestyle and financial condition. Every society has its style of wearing and clothing that differs from others. Being a Deen (code of life), Islam also guides in terms of dressing. This article deals with significance, objectives and the Islamic perspective of dressing. The research is based on the various studies made in philosophy and Islamic ideology of dressing. The article discusses the shariah obligations regarding dressing such as covering, purity, aesthetics and the distinction as per gender. In addition, a significant research is also presented on the disliked and unlawful dressings. The researchers have also made a good attempt in description of piety in dressing. The article concludes itself on the instructions to follow Islamic code of dressing in our daily life. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught his followers to observe their dress, considering the situations and events. He classified the dressing into valid and invalid and introduced the basic principles of dressing. If a society or a person observed these rules, he does not only beautify his personality, but also promote Islamic civilization and norms of social life.

Abstract:

This paper aims to conduct a comparative review in order to understand the line of demarcation between terrorism and Islamic concept of Qitāl. It is the matter of great concern, as one may assume that both viewpoints are very relevant to the bloodshed and beheading. The research question searching for what the difference is and what are the parameters that both are as different as two poles apart demands that each should be considered and judged under the epistemological domain of their own.Analytically it may be assessed that both are completely dissimilar in all respect either in fundamental thought or objective required to be achieved by each. Islamic concept of war and restoration of peace is totally encapsulated with the principles that govern and exercised with limitations in any situation to cope with indispensable circumstances. The golden principles of Islamic war (Jihād and Qitāl) have been adorned with the well balance philosophy epistemologically interconnected with Justice and Mercy towards the social amelioration and betterment in addition to the removal of upheaval, disorder and disruption resorting peace and harmony for the whole humanity.

Abstract:

The greatest human desire is to have excellent health and to take precautions against diseases, and throughout history, people have worked hard to achieve success in these areas. Every civilization had its own set of medical concepts and procedures. Muslim doctors and surgeons inherited a huge medical knowledge from all civilizations as a result they provided a primary research platform for rest of the world for all types medical treatments. As a result, they created a new branch of medical knowledge that laid the foundation for modern civilizations. The importance of surgery was increased during the Muslim era, and more than 60 prominent surgeons published their study, which captivated neighbouring civilizations, particularly European civilization. The contribution of Muslim medical experts in the field of anesthesia is significant and dates back to ancient times but they introduced several innovations in this field. Some of the most notable contributions included Al-Razi (865-925 AD), known as Rhazes, who wrote extensively on the use of anesthesia in surgical procedures. He was one of the first physicians who described the use of several medicines as a means of producing unconsciousness for surgical procedures. In the same way, the most prominent Muslim surgeon Al-Zahrawi (936-1013 AD) also known as Albucasis, was an Andalusian surgeon who used inhaled anesthesia for surgical procedures in his book "Kitab al-Tasrif”. Afterwards Ibn Sina (980-1037 AD) also known as Avicenna, was a great Muslim physician, surgeon and philosopher who wrote extensively on medicine and surgery. He described the use of several medicinal plants as an anesthetic agent in his book "The Canon of Medicine". These and other contributions by Arab scholars helped lay the foundation for the development of modern anaesthesia and continue to influence the field today.

Abstract:

Indeed, Allah Almighty has power over everything, but the world is full of reasons. Here, only strategy and effort are beneficial. Negligence and not trying in essential matters cause harm.

There are clear teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) on the cleanliness of the water, the cleanliness of the water environment, the method of its use, the principles of water distribution and its protection. If we follow them, our environment will be safe, and a healthy life will be ensured.

According to him, it is the basic requirement of the time. Aside from that, he also strived hard to promote universal human values of love, peace, forgiveness, patience, harmony, and endurance not just among the Muslims of the entire world but also among all the human beings. That is the reason, he is cherished and honored among all the masses. His life and his literary work candidly reflect his balance approach towards these core values.
