Chapter 2: The Kaleidoscopic View of Religion I cannot conclude these general remarks on religion and turn to the special doctrines of Islam before emphasizing one thing, though I have made reference to it in the foregoing: that is the necessity for Quranic Revelation at a time when the old Books of God had become hopelessly mixed with folk-lore. It is a religion of action, of good morals and ethics; a religion simple and practical; if I am asked to subscribe to its doctrines, I can do so freely: they are not dogmatic in their nature. Jealous for the religion taught by Moses, he came to redeem the teachings of the Master from the formalism of the Pharisees. aaiil.org /text/books/kk/islamchoice/ch2.shtml   (1461 words)

«ISLAM TODAY» This Quranic chapter (Surat) concluded, however, with a verse that opens the way for tolerance :“To you be your Way, and to me mine”. Though of this Quranic discourse the image we expounded is clear, yet so far has it remained blurred in the minds of the majority of the contemporary Muslim scholars. Allah has also disparaged Jews who were keen on crusts and neglected the actually most important matters, as in the following Quranic verse : “It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards East or West” (the Cow : 177). www.isesco.org.ma /pub/Eng/IST22/P2.htm   (8107 words)

Jamal Badawi reinterprets misunderstood Quranic terms - SIS Jamal Badawi, the well-known Islamic scholar from Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Canada made a convincing case, based on textual and historical background, from the Quran and Traditions, that the term "Holy War" is non existent in the Quran; "Kufr" does not mean "infidel"; and Allah is Lord of all "beings". www.servetus.org /en/news-events/articulos/200308291.htm   (1192 words)

Welcome to the Madinah Store Some long Surahs, such as Surat Yusuf (Chapter 12), which contains 111 Ayat (Quranic sentences) is almost entirely about the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), peace be upon him, his father, Prophet Ya`qub (Jacob), peace upon him, and Yusuf's eleven brothers, may Allah grant them His Mercy. The last verse in this chapter reads like this, what transliterated means, {111.

The Quran in Islam [Chapter 4] These various readings differed not only in pronunciation, but in a number of cases the whole meaning of the Quranic passage was altered. CHAPTER IV We saw in the preceding chapters that the Khalif 'Usman shocked at the grave differences which had crept into the reading of the Quran, applied a drastic remedy by compiling one authoritative copy, and then burning all the rest. Thus we read that a certain Quran reader named Ibn-Sanabud was once reading the Quran in the great Mosque of Bagdad; but his reading not agreeing with the reading of that place, he was severely beaten and cast into prison, and only released upon his renouncing the reading with which he was familiar. www.bible.ca /islam/library/Goldsack/Readings/chap4.htm   (900 words)

Nigerian State Gov't Implements New Anti-Christian Measures -- 01/29/2002 Awuhe, chairman of the Zamfara chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), urged the federal government to call the state government to order, to avert a possible breakdown of law and order. During the opening ceremony of a Quranic recitation competition, Sani declared he was ready to sacrifice his life and property to sustain the shari'a legal system in Zamfara. Zamfara was the first of Nigeria's 36 states to introduce shari'a law, in January 2000. www.cnsnews.com /ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=/ForeignBureaus/archive/200201/FOR20020129n.html   (900 words)

:: 19.org Article :: Richard Voss The Mysterious Quranic Letters These counts include the letters in the basmalah at the head of each chapter even though that verse is not numbered in the versification of the most widely used Arabic text. The muqatta'at seem to obey a rather rigid set of rules, just as the words we write must obey rigid rules of orthography. The Qur'anic initials (muqatta'at) manifest a number of interesting properties besides their frequency in their respective surat. 19.org /index.php?id=26,65,0,0,1,0   (784 words)

19 Deceit This is a response to the challenge of people from www.submission.org (the followers of Rashad Khalifa) to produce a surah/chapter containing mathematical properties of such kind as those found in the Quran - for which they claim are miraculous and imposible to imitate. This short article further expose an important part of 19 Deceit -Khalifa`s false definitions of two Quranic terms- messenger and prophet-"prophet brings the book and messenger not" and "every prophet is a messenger but not every messenger is prophet" Detecting deceits in "The detecting deceits in the numbers" A critical look at www.q-zone.com and Abu Jamil`s analysis of the code19, that is, their way of interpreting, following and propagandizing of the code 19 doctrine. www.inet.ba /~hardy/code_19.htm   (2276 words)

Letters of the Quranic Dispensation and Letters of the Living (huruf) In Váhid 2, chapter 17, for example, Imám Husayn is referred to as the "Harf-i-Khámis" or the "Fifth Letter" (Harf is the singular form of Hurúf). the Letters of the Bayán, whose station is ten thousand times more glorious than that of the letters of the Qur'ánic Dispensation. In the same manner, the Báb identified his own earliest believers as the "Hurúf-i-Hayy" or Letters of the Living. bahai-library.com /?file=uhj_letters_bayan_huruf   (378 words)

Negationism In India - Chapter Two - Negationism In India The sources however point to the opposite state of affairs: Muslim fanatics were merely faithful executors of Quranic injunctions. But then they had gone on to state that there was no archeological indication for a pre- Masjid temple on that controversial site at all, even when the same report had cursorily mentioned the remains of a building dated to the 11th century AD. What may cut short all denials of this continued pestering of Hindus in Muslim states, are the resulting migration figures: in 1948, Hindus formed 23% of the population of Bangla Desh (then East Pakistan), in 1971 the figure was down to 15%, and today it stands at about 8%. www.bharatvani.org /books/negaind/ch2.htm   (16130 words)

Features of  Quranic Style: Chapter 5, Bell's Introduction to the Quran What one finds rather is assonance, in which short inflectional vowels at the end of a verse are disregarded, and for the rest, the vowels, particularly their length, and the fall of the accent, that is the form of the end-word of the verse, are of more importance than the consonants. In sura 99 we have a similar assonance, formed by a long accented aå, followed by a short syllable, and the feminine suffix ha - hå, that is alaha - ålahå, the ha - hå being in one verse replaced by the plural suffix -hum. These detachable rhyme-phrases-most of which carry the assonance in i æ(1)-tend to be repeated, and to assume a set form which recurs either verbally or with slight changes in wording. www.truthnet.org /islam/Watt/Chapter5.html   (5646 words)

Chapter 3 : Proof of being Promised Messiah This Quranic passage in context means that just as the Holy Prophet Muhammad was a teacher and a purifier for his followers of his own time, so shall he be for the coming generations of Muslims. Mr Ata Muhammad should remember, however, that to cite the example of the doctor only shows that he is himself totally ignorant of heavenly light. I remember that when, in Amritsar, Mr Abdullah Atham was told of the prophecy of his death, Mr Ata Muhammad came to my place of stay and related before me, as an example, that a doctor had told him of his death, saying that Ata Muhammad would die within a certain period. www.muslim.org /books/testi-hq/ch3.htm   (1569 words)

HADITH In any case, it is interesting to note, as we have seen in Chapter II, that the phrases `the prophet's hadith' or the `the prophet's sunna' are never used in the Quran. Because of the very strong Quranic prohibition against making factions in religion and the fact that they were unable to use the Quran to support factional interests, the competing parties had to recourse to the hadith — a convenient and clever way out. Kassim Ahmad was born on 9 September, 1933 in Kedah, Malaysia. www.submission.org /HADITH2.HTM   (1569 words)

Book Reviews Afshar sets out her theoretical premise in the introductory chapter but does not carry it to it's final conclusion in terms of the particular case studies. She also stresses the importance of distinguishing between secondary sources and Quranic teachings, which seem to be at the root of the particular biases concerning women, drawing on the works of such scholars as Ali Shariatti. Afshar begins the book with a rather poignant quote by Mernissi, and goes on to introduce the general theoretical framework of the book, which may be best explained in terms of an understudying of 'Islams'. www.islam21.net /pages/keyissues/key5-6.htm   (1569 words)

Read Article The moderate Muslim voice calls for an end to terrorism, for rights of religious minorities (based on the Quranic injunction in chapter 2, verse 256-let there be no compulsion in matters of faith), for rights of Muslim women and for democratic reform. MPAC relies on your financial support to sustain its activities and represent the sentiments and interests of American Muslims not foreign governments. The Muslim moderate voice within the Bush Administration and on Capitol Hill has been distorted to mean passing a political litmus test in supporting the current foreign policy. www.unobserver.com /printen.php?id=1033   (1700 words)

Symbol and Secret: Chapter Four Bahá'u'lláh's resolution of this apparent scriptural contradiction is predicated on the quranic doctrine of the equality of prophets. Bahá'u'lláh begins with John 14:28 and John 16:7, 12-14 (with an allusion to John 14:16); Matthew 24:29-31; Luke 21:33; Matthew 2:2 and 3:1-2, all of which are either eschatological or adventist in Bahá'u'lláh's presentation. In adapting Wansbrough's categories to a text which performs exegesis yet is not a tafsír in the classical sense, some conceptual modifications are necessary to fit the text to the methodology intended to elucidate it. bahai-library.com /books/symbol.secret/4.html   (17647 words)

History, Literature, and Religion by David Hall In his Quranic Studies, John Wansbrough had expressed the view that asbab material had its major reference point in halakhic works, that is to say, works concerned with deriving laws from the Qur'an. Berg also notes that in his chapter on 'authority' Wansbrough shows how Islamic salvation history invested authority in both the word of Allah in the Koran, and in an entirely separate body of literature known as the Sunna, the paradigmatic conduct of the Prophet. John Wansbrough has already been mentioned several times in this review, and the fifth and final section of this collection is devoted entirely to the significance of his ideas and methods, with essays by Herbert Berg and G. Hawting. www.secularislam.org /reviews/hall.htm   (3541 words)

The Chronology of the Quran : Chapter 7, Bell's Introduction to the Quran Several nineteenth-century scholars made useful contributions to the study of quranic QurŸånic chronology; but the most important book by far was Theodor Nöldeke's Geschichte des quran qorans Qoråns, first published in 1860. In short, the quran QurŸån has been subjected to severe scrutiny according to the methods of modern literary and historical criticism. www.truthnet.org /islam/Watt/Chapter7.html   (4737 words)

Shaping of the Quranic : Chapter 6, Bell's Introduction to the Quran In passing it may be noted that the retention of abrogated verses in the text of the quran QurŸån as we have it is a confirmation of the accuracy of the text, since it shows that later textual scholars did not remould it in accordance with their own conceptions. The use of the word 'abrogate' (yansakhu) in this passage differs from its usage in the theory of abrogation, for in the latter the abrogated verses are still retained as part of the quran QurŸån. The idea underlying the doctrine is that certain commands to the Muslims in the quran QurŸån were only of temporary application, and that when circumstances changed they were abrogated or replaced by others. www.truthnet.org /islam/Watt/Chapter6.html   (7642 words)

Answering Bahaullah / baha'u'llah and the bahai / baha'i faith - 4 bahai analogies - The Babi Religion - part 5 The strange interpretations of the Quranic words which are considered as proving Bahaullah's truth have already been referred to in considering his claims. Take the verses with which the chapter entitled 'the Merciful' opens: The main argument of the truth of the Babi religion is, however, considered to be the firmness and perseverance shown by its adherents under the persecution of its opponents. www.geocities.com /Pentagon/3016/bahai5.htm   (5187 words)
