About Mamun Al-Humsi Mamun Al-Humsi took advantage of what came to be known as Syria's "Damascus Spring." This short-lived period of openness to public debate and calls for reform, which followed a change of government leadership, brought him new opportunities for activism. Mamun al-Humsi, 44 at the time of his arrest, had been a member of the People's Assembly for 11 years. Amnesty International considers Mamun al-Humsi to be a prisoner of conscience and has appealed for his immediate and unconditional release. www.uwm.edu /StudentOrg/amnesty/about_mamun.htm   (591 words)

Muslim Contribution to Astronomy It was during the reign of Mamun, that practical steps were taken for the advancement of astronomy and several observatories equipped with the latest instruments were set up at various places in his domain. The caliphate of Mamun, undoubtedly constitutes the most glorious epoch in saracenic history and has rightly been called the 'Augustan age of Islam'. Renowned scholars and translators, artists and scientists flocked to this great metropolis from all parts of the world and adorned the learned assemblies of Harun and Mamun, who, besides being celebrated scholars themselves, were the greatest patrons of learning that the world has ever known. members.tripod.com /worldupdates/newupdates10/id141.htm   (2208 words)

Victory News Magazine Fadak During the period of al Mamun's caliphate Fadak was in the possession of Fatimah's ('a.) descendants, and this was confirmed during the caliphate of al Mutasim (218/833-227/842) and al Wathiq (227/842 -232/847). They narrated to al Mamun that the Holy Prophet ('s) gifted Fadak to Fatima ('a) and that after the death of the Holy Prophet ('s), Fatima ('a) demanded Abu Bakr to return Fadak to her. When al Mutawwakil was killed and al Muntasir (his son) succeeded him (247/861-248/862), he gave the order to restore Fadak to the descendants of al Hasan and al Husayn and delivered the donations of Abu Talib to them and this was in 248/862. www.victorynewsmagazine.com /Fadak.htm   (1935 words)

Imam Redha, Imam Riza, Imam Raza, Zaamin-e-Aahu (The Guarantor of the Deer), Mashhad Mamun's ambitions to get the Empire under his feet were almost accomplished for he knew that the army under his command would not run away from him at this juncture. Ibn Babawaih relates various reasons that have been assigned by Mamun for poisoning the Imam and shows also the circumstances in which Imam Ali Reza (AS) is said to have designated his son Muhanmmad Ibn Ali as his successor to the Imamate. The Arab party, who sided with Amin, never liked the appointment of Imam Ali al-Reza (AS) as the successor of Mamun, no matter how dubious it looked to them on the face of it. www.ezsoftech.com /islamic/infallible10a.asp   (3794 words)

Al Mamun, however, eventually realized that the Iraqi Shias would never countenance the loss of prestige and economic power if they no longer had the capital.

The Apology of Al-Kindy He is spoken of as the paternal cousin of the Moslem writer; his just and tolerant sway is repeatedly acknowledged by Al Kindy; the descent of the dynasty from the family of Mahomet is over and again referred to, and our Author prays that the Empire may long be perpetuated in his Patron's line. But the manner in which the Caliph is throughout referred to in both, accords entirely with the assumption that they were written at his court. All this is, perfectly natural, and in entire consistency with the ascription of the work to a courtier in the reign of Al Mâmûn. www.bible.ca /islam/library/Al-Kindi/p024-025.htm   (193 words)

To show to the people how much he thought of Imam (A.S.), Mamun changed the colour of his court from black to green [the colour of the Imams (A.S.)], he also had new coins made with Imam Ali ar-Reza's (A.S.) name on it.

Results The Abbasi rulers again took it away from the Ahl ul Bayt and used it as their property, till Mamun al Rashid again conducted a thorough inquiry by a special court of jurists before which a follower of the Ahl ul Bayt advocated their case and the state attorney opposed his arguments. At the end Mamun wrote the judgement in the form of a royal edict, awarding the land to the Ahl ul Bayt, summary of which has been recorded by Balazuri in his famous book Futuhul Buldan.

Hawza Illmiyya of London Martin, et al (1997, p.30) states that Abu Abdullah al-Basri was influenced by the Shi'ah and left some of the more adamant interpretations of the Sunnis in theology. It is from the Buwayhid empire that ruled between 945-1055 AD (Martin, et al, 1997, p.30) that we see the rise of the great Asharite theologians al-Baqillani (d.1013) and al-Baghdadi (d.1037). Although by selecting the Shi'ah Imam al-Ridha as his successor, scholars have seen this as simply an attempt at gaining support for the Shi'ah groups of the time. www.hawza.org.uk /index.php?option=content&task=view&id=90   (8955 words)

The Apology of Al-Kindy The action of Al Hajjij (who has been sufficiently misrepresented and abused by the Abbasside faction) appears to have been mainly confined to certain additions in the way of diacritical marks. And to make good his point he proceeds to quote from a speech of the Caliph, made in one of the assemblies which he was in the habit of holding. Having been compiled, if not in part composed, by different hands, and thrown unsystematically together, the text is alleged to be in consequence full of contradictions, incoherencies, and senseless passages. www.bible.ca /islam/library/Al-Kindi/p028-029.htm   (334 words)

The Apology of Al-Kindy But the Beni Kinda (whence the title Al Kindy, meaning a man of that tribe) formed a great clan of themselves, who, advancing from the south, spread over the centre and north of Arabia, and had, in the fifth and sixth centuries of the Christian era, a distinguished rôle in the history of the Peninsula. The "Philosopher" was unquestionably a professed Mahometan, which at once dispels the notion that he could have had any hand in the Apology. And the internal evidence (apart altogether from that supplied by the quotation from Al Bîrûni) affords the strongest presumption that the work is what it professes to be,—namely, an Apology in www.bible.ca /islam/library/Al-Kindi/p006-007.htm   (360 words)
