 People's Poet Of Daghestan Rasul Gamzatov - Official Website
Rasul Gamzatov was born on September 8, 1923, in the Avar village of Tsada in the north-east Caucasus.
Rasul Gamzatov has been fortunate in his Russian translators, Naum Grebnev and Yakov Kozlovsky, many of whose brilliant versions have become classics of Russian poetry.
So much so that Rasul himself, reciting his poems in public in the strongly rhythmic guttural Avar tongue, often follows on smoothly and spontaneously with the Russian translation which he also knows by heart.

 Guantanamo Bay, Supreme Court Litigation - Rasul v. Bush   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Both Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal were repatriated to the United Kingdom in March 2004 along with several other British nationals previously held at Guantanamo Bay, all of whom the British authorities released without charge.
The court in Rasul held that Braden overruled the "statutory predicate" for Eisentrager, as a result of which Eisentrager did not bar habeas corpus jurisdiction over the claims of the Guantanamo Bay detainees.
Even so, as Rasul points out, the Supreme Court in Eisentrager actually did go ahead and provide a review of the petitioners' claims, finding among other things that the petitioners were enemy aliens and, in fact, had received a trial and conviction by a competent tribunal.

Rasul is a term which denotes a more advanced degree, when the prophet has not only brought a message to the world, but has fulfilled his task during his lifetime through all the tests and trials that a prophet has to meet in life.
Rasul is the world-messenger, who comes for all people at the time of the world's need, and brings with him that inspiration, influence, and power which will harmonize humanity.
We did send apostles [rasul] before thee and appointed for them wives and children: and it was never the part of an apostle [rasul] to bring a Sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded).

 Padilla, Hamdi, and Rasul: Charge Them or Release Them
There were three cases before the Court: the Padilla case, the Hamdi case, and the Rasul (Guantanamo) case.
The issues pertaining to the government’s “war on terrorism” and its claimed power to indefinitely detain suspected terrorists as “enemy combatants” in such a metaphorical war were precisely the issues that were raised in the Padilla case, which the court dismissed on jurisdictional grounds.
One major problem in the Hamdi and Rasul cases was that the U.S. government failed to release its prisoners of war at the end of the Afghan War, as required by the Geneva Convention and the laws of war.

 SCOTUSblog: Hamdan, Rasul, et al., Imperiled
Posted by Marty Lederman at 05:36 AM The Senate yesterday by a vote of 49-42 passed an amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill, offered by Lindsey Graham, section (d) of which would eliminate the statutory right of habeas corpus for alien detainees held by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo.
Now, of course, Rasul was decided on statutory grounds, and Stevens didn't specifically say that all six of these facts were absolute prerequisites to a finding of no right to habeas.
The question you are discussing -- and that is implicated by Rasul footnote 15, Judge Green's decision, and the pending Rasul/Al Odah case -- is whether the Due Process Clause in any way affects the decision to detain, and the terms of detention of, aliens abroad (or at GTMO, at least).

 Scholarships
Until Rasul, the Supreme Court's Eisentrager decision restricted federal court jurisdiction to cases where detainees were physically held in the sovereign territory of the United States.
The Supreme Court's holding in Rasul, that foreign nationals, captured and held abroad have a statutory right to file habeas corpus petitions in the federal courts, creates numerous underlying issues which U.S. courts are sure to be faced with soon.
IV It is understood the Supreme Court has ruled in Rasul U.S. courts have at least statutory jurisdiction to consider challenges to the legality of the detention of foreign nationals captured abroad.

 When Friends Hurt Each Other
Rasul Allah said, “Whoever learns knowledge – knowledge from that which should be sought for the sake of Allah – only to receive a commodity of the material world, he shall not find the fragrance of jannah on the day of resurrection.”
A Bedouin came to Rasul Allah and told him, “Give me from what Allah gave you, not from the wealth of your mother nor from the wealth of your father.” The Sahaabah were furious at the man and step forward to discipline him for what he said.
Rasul Allah called that companion and asked him, “Did Abu Bakr say so and so to you?” He said, “Yes.” He said, “What did you reply.” He said, “I did not reply it back to him.” Rasul Allah said, “Good, do not reply it back to him (do not hurt Abu Bakr).

 A Comment on the Finality of Prophethood
A Divine Reformer is a RASUL in as much as he receives Messages from God (Risalah meaning a message), and he is a NABI in the sense that he conveys those Messages to the people to whom he is sent (Nubuwwah meaning the conveying of a message).
Thus every Rasul (Messenger) is a Nabi (Prophet) because after receiving Divine Messages he conveys them to his people and every Nabi is a Rasul because he conveys to his people those Messages which he receives from God.
Keeping in mind that the author holds that every Nabi is a Rasul and vice versa, the same objection as stipulated in the cited paragraph, applies to his own explanation as well.

 Translation of Ayk Ghalati Ka Izala
Thus it happened a few days ago that a person faced from an opponent the objection that "the man whose pledge you have taken claims to be a prophet (nabi) and a messenger (rasul)".
If anyone is indignant at this Divine revelation, as to why God Almighty has called me nabi and rasul, it is his own folly because the seal set by God is not broken by my being a prophet and messenger.
But I say that after the Holy Prophet, who was actually the Khatam an-nabiyyin, my being called by the words nabi and rasul is not a matter for objection, nor is the seal of finality broken by it.
