DŽIHAD I NJEGOVA ZLOUPOTREBA

Author(s): Jusuf Ramić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 09/2004

Sarajevo University Centre for Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Studies, the Faculty of Law and the review “Human rights” jointly organised a discussion about phenomenon of terror in the contemporary world. Direct object of the discussion was the book Islam and Terror by academician Muhamed Filipović and the two other books Terorism: meaning, history and connection with religion and Meaning of terrorism - the Response of Islamic Institutions by professor Fikret Karčić. After thorough reading of these books one can notice that phenomenon of the jihad neither is widely elaborated nor given adequate place and space in the books as it deserves. Academician Muhamed Filipović in the last part of his book has given some more space to jihad and the terrorist act of September 11th 2001, allegedly dine in the name of Islam and pointed out that in fact it is an act of terror and crime against Islam because when an act like this is put into a context of a great idea of human struggle on the Path of God (Jihadun fi sebilillahi), the real sense of the path is being falsified and planted by something what has no any connection with that idea and it actually confronts the idea literally and spiritually. On some other pages of the book academician Filipović stresses that it is necessary to distinguish the sense and the character of the sacrifice in Islam, because the principle of sacrifice is used by some Muslim groups or groups who name and consider themselves Muslim to such extent that it has nothing in common either with Islam and the learning which we got through

DVA LISTA NAĐENA U MUSHAFU MEHE VEISPAHIĆA

Author(s): Fatima Veispahić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 102/2023

Mevlud je bitan sadržaj bosanske kulture. Iako u nauci o književnosti nije prepoznat kao književni žanr, njegovu prisutnost je moguće pratiti u dugome vremenu. Ako se za prvi mevlud na bosanskome jeziku uzme Gaševićev objavljen 1878/79., što je skoro 150 godina, i dalje mu nije posvećena pažnja koju zaslužuje. Na ovu pojavu je ukazao i Aziz Kadribegović još 1983. godine, kada je prvi put objavljen njegov tekst Naši mevludski spjevovi…

МОЖЕ ЛИ РЕЛИГИЈА БИТИ УЗРОК СУКОБА?

Author(s): Stefan Antić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 41/2024

The paper represents a theoretical exploration of contemporary conflict assumptions that, indirectly or directly, emphasize the close connection between religion and conflict. The main goal of the paper is to answer the question of whether religion can be a cause of conflict in the modern world. However, the paper also provides answers to a series of secondary but equally important questions: Is monotheism an intolerant form of religion? Does the Bible represent a source of violence? Is religious division a basis for conflict causation? In addition, considering the frequent and easy use of the qualifier “religious,” the author explains the phenomenon of “violence in the name of faith,” which is often encountered in reports from war-affected areas. Since various sources and works from different scientific disciplines were used during the research, an appropriate categorical apparatus of each scientific discipline was applied to analyze each scientific field. Therefore, in addition to general logical methods (analysis, classification, induction, deduction, reasoning), the paper also uses several specific scientific methods such as the historical-critical method, comparative approach, context of use, etc. Based on the conducted research, the author concludes that contemporary “religious” conflicts are not inherent to society, but their causality is not in religion but in the abuse of religion.

Philosopher of Samarqand: Abu Mansur al-Maturıdı’s Theory of Properties

Author(s): Ramon Harvey / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

This article tries to make up a lack of the recognition of the theologian of the Ḥanafī tradition from Samarqand in Transoxiana Abū Manṣūr al-Māturīdī’s philosophical contribution to the Muslim theology in regard to the theory of divine properties. Viewing al-Māturīdī as an early trope theorist, the author has dug into al-Māturīdī’s ontology, which argues to the effect that the substances are not just bundles of qualities but of particular property instances, or tropes. This al-Māturīdī’s theory comes in the context of his dialectical exchange about divine speech with an unnamed interlocutor. Thus, it is the author’s suggestion that those who teach more systematic courses that involve tropes should consider enriching and diversifying the historical context of their syllabus by including al-Māturīdī as an early example of a trope theorist. In addition to that al-Māturīdī’s has important ethical ideas that could be explored in comparison to other religious thinkers and philosophers.

(HIERO) History and Islamic Civilization

Author(s): Mustafa Cerić / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

This paper tries to penetrate into the merits of Islamic civilization in promoting the progress of humanity and the causes of the decline and withdrawal of Islamic civilization from the global cultural and political scene. The basic thought is that neither the meek nor aggressive civilization has ever ruled the world, but the world has always been ruled by cooperative civilizations, of which the Islamic civilization can serve as a proven historical example of civilizational cooperation. Therefore, the author claims that the recovery of Islamic civilization is neither in isolation nor in assimilation, but in the affirmation of civilizational values, which are common to all mankind.

MUSLIM-CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE IN NORTHERN NIGERIA: AN EVALUATION OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING CAT-DOG RELATIONSHIP

Author(s): Maryam Suleiman Jamo,Bahire Efe Özad,Gulen Uygarer / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

Generally, the relationship between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria, especially northern Nigeria, is dysfunctional, antagonistic, tense, aggressive, and violent. Thus, management of Muslim-Christian marital relationship in such society requires effective communication and conflict resolution strategies. However, Muslim-Christian interfaith marriages exist and flourish in the country. Therefore, this study evaluates conflict resolution strategies in relationships among Muslim-Christian couples in northern Nigeria. The study is guided by Rational Dialectics Theory (RDT). Triangulation has been employed and the data have been gathered through semi-structured interviews, observation, and field notes with phenomenology as the approach. Using snowball sampling technique, 30 people – 19 females and 11 males who are into Muslim-Christian marriage were interviewed, as participants in the study. The findings revealed that conflict in a relationship is inevitable but the most effective conflict resolution strategies used in managing interreligious marital relationship include embracing dialogic communication, being engaged in positive and supportive communication, interpersonal communication, and then upholding interest, affection, gratitude, and apologies. The present study concludes that conflict in a relationship does not always indicate a problem, rather, it is a means where married individuals can understand themselves better and work towards resolving the differences that cause dispute.

Issues of Minority Within Minority in a Multicultural Framework: a Plight of Shia Minority vis-à-vis Sunni Majority in India

Author(s): Rachana Kaushal / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Multiculturalism is a philosophy that looks upon an individual with specific reference to his cultural, religious, ethnic, and other such identities. It challenges the inequalities, discriminations, and atrocities faced by an individual due to his different identities on account of religion, culture, ethnicity, gender, etc, which is non-dominant (numerically or in terms of powerlessness). Multiculturalism seeks to ensure equal rights as well as equal powersharing of all stakeholders.However, multiculturalism is often criticized for ignoring the rights of groups/minorities within the minorities, i.e., the others' of “other”. Multiculturalism recognizes and values the diversities within the society but fails to acknowledge the stratifications within the group. It often leads to the denial of egalitarian treatment to minorities within a minority. It acknowledges the “other” but ignores the “others within the other“. The claims of minorities against the majority for protection against discrimination become a dilemma when a minority claims the same within the minority. This study first describes and understands the nature and concept of multiculturalism, followed by a critical appraisal of the context of marginalized groups within minorities. The second part of this study will explore the claims of Shias as a religious minority within muslim minority in India.

Modeling Religious Coexistence: The Turkish and Tatar Muslim Communities in Romania’s Dobruja

Author(s): Raymond Horchos / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

The peaceful coexistence of different religions is crucial today, especially with the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Levant and the arrival of new refugees and immigrants with diverse faith traditions. In Romania, while immigrants may face challenges integrating into the predominantly Romanian Orthodox religious majority, the Dobrogean Model of Religious Pluralism is a pattern of inter-religious coexistence with the potential to clarify the critical factors needed to facilitate peaceful pluralism among religious groups. Utilizing Rogers Brubaker’s triadic-nexus configuration of national minorities, nationalizing states, and external national homelands alongside various qualitative methods, this paper will investigate the historical and institutional elements for promoting peaceful coexistence, particularly with an eye toward the Islamic minority in the Dobruja region. The study will also examine the crucial role of state and affiliated institutions in promoting tolerance and coexistence by protecting freedom of religion. Romania's location at the crossroads of the East and West and the Dobruja region's reputation as a model of religious pluralism makes it an excellent case study for identifying critical factors for the peaceful coexistence of religions in contemporary societies.

Ehl-i Sünnet ile Şîa Fıkhındaki Küllî Kaidelerin Kavramsal Çerçevelerinin Karşılaştırılması

Author(s): Ünal Şahin / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 53/2024

This study, which examines the conceptual framework of the universal rules in Ahl al-Sunnah and Shīʿa fiqh, is the first review on the subject. This article aims to outline the differences between the principles that are considered as universal principles in both schools of thought. However, it is even possible to study each principle independently. In this context, it has been tried to show to what extent the characteristics of the universal principles determined by Ahl al-Sunnah are taken into consideration in Shīʿa jurisprudence. In addition, an effort has been made to determine in general terms what are the prominent issues in the universal rules in Shīʿa jurisprudence. As a result of the research, it has been determined that there are many differences between Shīʿa and Ahl al-Sunnah jurisprudence in the context of universal principles, which are accepted as logical propositions, as well as in the tradition of belief. The fact that universal rules are a sub-discipline of fiqh and methodological differences can be found in fur ūʿ al-fiqh (substantive fiqh). As a matter of fact, the four Sunni sects have dealt with these principles within their own systematics and ruled accordingly. On the other hand, there are dozens of universal principles on which the four Sunnite sects agree. However, it is understood that Shīʿa interprets the universal principles differently with ideological constructs and exhibits a very different approach from Ahl al-Sunnah. Due to the vastness of the subject, the study is centered on the work of Durūs fi al-qawāʿid al-fiqhiyya, which was compiled by Shi’ite scholars in the recent period. In the context of the aforementioned work, other Shīʿa qawāʿid al-qulliyyah have been frequently referred to. The characteristics of the Shia regarding the universal principles are discussed under six main headings in the article. It is clear that Shīʿa ignores the hadith and fiqh sources of Ahl al-Sunnah regarding universal rules. The theory of innocent imams, which is seen as an integral part of Shīʿa theology, is also extensively used in universal rules. In addition, the attitude towards the companions, which is one of the sharp differences between Ahl al-Sunnah and Shīʿa, is far from being objective in Shīʿa and they exhibit an ideological approach towards the Companions.

İslam Hukukunda Kadınlara Tanınan Muafiyetler: Namaz ve Oruç Örnekleri

Author(s): İsa Atcı / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 53/2024

God created man in a special form and gave him reason and will. God, who created humans in two different genders, male and female, declared that superiority is not based on gender, but rather based on taqwa (piety). Accordingly, being a man is not a source of pride, nor is being a woman a degrading quality. While God has endowed man with many rights, especially the right to life, it also imposes some responsibilities. Although God considered men and women equal in creation, faith and servitude, established some different provisions regarding responsibility. One of these areas is worship. Islam does not hold women responsible for some practices related to worship. Essentially, this attitude of Islam towards women is not a devaluation or restriction, but rather a valuing and providing positive privileges over men. When we examine prayer and fasting practices closely, we see that women are not only on menstrual and puerperal days, but also on days when they have different obligations such as pregnancy and breastfeeding. Likewise, they were not obliged to perform Friday and Eid prayers by their obligations such as childcare etc. They were also excused from performing regular prayers in congregation in the mosque. It should be noted that Islam's approach to the issue is based on opportunity, need and necessity, not gender. In this context, discourses that Islam and Muslims exclude women and see them as second-class beings damage the image of Islam and Muslims. However, these accusations are baseless allegations based on distortions of the relevant provisions of Islamic law; These are baseless allegations. Our study is important in that it demonstrates that these accusations are unjustified by focusing on the positive privileges granted to women, whereas they are not granted to men. To reveal these privileges, only prayer and fasting practices have been examined within the limitation of these study and the relevant issues have been tried to be processed with evidence by making use of the basic sources of the sects. The content of the subject has been enriched within the framework of sectarian views, and current studies on the subject have been tried to be analysed. References have been to the views of the High Board of Religious Affairs. This study has refuted the unfair accusations of anti-Islamic discourses and contemporary feminist thoughts, which accuse Islam of not respecting women's rights and restricting women in the field of worship, as in many areas. Contrary to these claims, this study revealed that Islam gives women duties in accordance with their nature and exempts them from duties that would be burdensome for them.

Siyer Edebiyatı Bağlamında Hâce Muhammed Lutfî’nin Mevlid ve Mi’râciye’si

Author(s): Tuba Nur Saraçoğlu / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 53/2024

Over the years, the writing of sīrat, which dates back to the earliest times of Islamic history, has made an enormous and varied body of literature available. This literature developed through commentary-hashiyas, critique, and transmission, and even continued with the addition of thematic sub-genres. The works written in prose form, have influenced sīrat writing throughout history. During the Ottoman era, poetry gained prominence, with poetic sīrat texts being widely utilized. The sources and the method of text generation, which had a certain continuity until the modernization era, underwent a significant in this period. This rupture affected the sīrat texts of the Republic of Turkey period. A new age has been brought about by the criticism of the sīrat literature that is currently in existence using new preferences for the utilization of sources. Texts produced in a literary manner are found in this new era when many aspects of traditional sīrat writing have been abandoned. We are studying these texts authored by Alvarlı Hāja Muhammad Lutfī, who underwent classical education procedures and represented a tradition with a Sufi component. This study discusses two sections of Hāja Muhammad Lutfī’s Hulāsat al-ḥaqāyīq, which is regarded as one of the literary texts of sīrat writing: Mīrāj al-Nabī and Mawlid al-Nabī. The study begins with a brief history of the use of poetry as a writing form and source in sīrat writing, then, it emphasizes the forms of text construction, and finally, it discusses the main themes, sources, preferences, and mi’rājiya and mawlid sections of Hāja Muhammad Lutfī’s work in sīrat writing. In this way, it aimed to discuss the history of using poetry in sīrat literature, to open the poetic texts in the sīrat genre to the discussion, and for this purpose, the texts subject to the research were evaluated in terms of content, use of sources and style. As a result of the research, it has been seen that poetry, which has existed since the emergence of sīrat literature, has turned into a unique form of text construction in time and fed this literature, and that the mawlid and mi’rājiyya of Hāja Muhammad Lutfī are texts that continue the classical literature in the Republican period in terms of their sources and style.

Udmurt Religious Practice Today: Between Native Traditions and World Religions

Author(s): Eva Toulouze / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

This article reflects on the complex Udmurt religious situation. The Udmurt, a minority group in Central Russia, have an animistic background and live today in different administrative units of the Russian Federation: they have their own Republic, Udmurtia, in which the majority of the population is composed by ethnic Orthodox Russians, but they live also, from West to East, in the Kirov oblast, in the Mari El Republic, in Tatarstan, in Bashkortostan, and in some smaller groups eastwards. In the core territory they were submitted to forced Evangelisation by the Orthodox Russians after their integration into Muscovy, in the 16th century. Eventually, the imposed conversion succeeded, while in regions where the dominant religion was Islam, and where many fled under pressure, they kept their original religious practice. This article investigates this group’s religious affiliations and real practice today, between Orthodoxy and Islam, observing that where Islam dominates, animism thrives while where Orthodoxy dominates, different forms of syncretistic religious practice keep the former worldview alive.

The Contemporary Ethno-Confessional Situation Among the Udmurts of Perm Territory

Author(s): Alexander Chernykh / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The article, which is based on both published sources and field expedition materials from recent decades, sets out to examine the confessional processes taking place in a small area in the south of Perm Territory that is settled by Udmurts, the foundation of whose religious tradition was the preservation of traditional beliefs. The author has conducted an analysis of the historical prerequisites for the formation of a multi-confessional community, characterised by both the preservation of traditional religion and the active spread of Islam and Christianity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The historical experience of this period has influenced the modern ethno-confessional situation. Today, each of the religious traditions observed by the community being studied has a different potential for development. Following the restoration of the system of prayers and institutions, traditional religion has played a vital role, both in the modern ethnic identity of the group as a whole, and in the local identity of the inhabitants of specific villages and hamlets. In their capacity as significant and major social events of the year, prayers occupy an important place in the contemporary ethno-cultural life of the Kuyeda Udmurts. At the same time, the symbolic nature of prayers, the loss of a developed system of ideas, along with the absence of outstanding confessional leaders are often the reasons for the absence of public religious life in some Udmurt villages, and for the lack of involvement of a significant part of the local community in contemporary confessional events. Christianity currently has significant potential to spread within the group individual strategies, as well as missionary work, are the main reasons for its active spread in recent decades. Islam has maintained its position in the same period.

Razumijevanje koncepta sakralne umjetnosti i načela vrednovanja sakralnih umjetničkih djela

Author(s): Muhammed Ali Abadi,Rejhan Parišan / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 32-33/2023

Art has been a mean for material declaration of belief since the beginning of human history. Therefore, the most obvious place for declaration of spirituality and sublime identity of a man that emerges from religion can be looked for in hidden layers of art. The main question here is which art piece can be considered as a substantial place of declaration of spirituality and holiness, as well as a question: in accordance to which foundations these pieces can be valued and one piece can be considered more successful than another. The first part of this work is dedicated to a general analysis of arts that are related to religion, and, taken into consideration the method of documented research of library – on the basis of the common differentia of all definitions – definition of the most valuable sacral art that is related to religion. Influential factors in this art are briefly explained in the continuation of this paper, such as position of an artist as a creator of a piece of art (or a mediator in creation), as well as the process of shaping it. Finally, the role, main objectives and the creative act of sacral art in an intellectual's thinking are analysed. A framework of five tables that represent objectives of sacral art that can be criterion for position and value of sacral art piece in this field has been presented, taking into consideration the fact that value of every thing can be seen on the basis of its significance in terms of achieving its objectives.

Uvodne naznake o gnostičkim temeljima umjetnosti i ljepote u islamu s osvrtom na Mesneviju

Author(s): Šahram Pazuki / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 32-33/2023

Unlike the manner in which a large number of researchers comprehends beauty and art in Islamic thought, there is also an aspect of thought and knowledge on beauty and art in Islam that is, of course, different than what was known as „aesthetics“ in the West since 18th century. The foundations of art and beauty in Islam are completely gnostic and follow the spiritual perspective of Muslims in relation to reality, existence, man and the world. Therefore, they can only be comprehended by entering the sphere of Islamic gnosis and penetrating into its essence. The most important pillars of these categories are: beauty of God, reflection, level of ihsān, comparison and level of non-existence and non-art. One of the most important gnostic pieces which, both succinctly and in detail, indicates to the all of the above-mentioned categories is Mathnawi. This paper will, referring to Mathnawi, explain the gnostic pillars of beauty and art in Islamic world, and, as an example, review two different types of art – poetry and painting.

Yas Sürecindeki Müslüman Danışanlar İçin Kur’an’dan Bibliyoterapik Bir İçerik: “Bilge Kişi-Musa” Kıssası

Author(s): Süleyman Doğanay / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 60/2023

The aim of psychotherapy applied based on the data of modern psychology is to give the individual insight into the difficulties or troubles experienced, to increase the motivation of the individual to bring about changes in his thoughts and behaviors, and to help him find suitable ways for these changes. Bibliotherapy, which is one of the psychotherapy techniques, is a psychotherapy method that means making use of books in order to bring the right message to the right person or to deliver it to the right person. Similar to the purpose of psychotherapy methods, the purpose of all kinds of cognitive and affective social support such as spiritual/religious advice, religious teachings, or religious suggestions is to help and guide the person in the mourning process. People who read the stories in which the life stories of the prophets and/or personalities mentioned in the Qur’an and the events they experienced are told can make a share of these stories. In this way, the stories have a bibliotherapeutic function. The study was prepared with a qualitative method based on source scanning. First of all, the human mourning process and the function of religion in this process were mentioned, and some evaluations were made on the purpose of telling the stories in the Quran. Later, the message given in verses 62 to 80 of Surat Al-Kahf, which is described as the tale of the Wise Person-Moses in tafsir sources, was examined in depth. As a result, it has been concluded that if all religious advice and teachings in general and The Wise Person-Moses parable in particular are correctly understood and conveyed, it can assume a bibliotherapeutic function for the mourning clients.

Emine Enise Yakar, İslam Hukuku ve Toplum: İfta Uygulaması ve Dini Kurumlar(London & New York: Routledge, 2022)

Author(s): Sümeyra Yakar / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 60/2023

In Islamic Law and Society: The Practice of Iftā’ and Religious Institutions, Emine Enise Yakar explores critical aspects about the methodological pluralistic structure of fatwās in different societies and the approaches of three fatwā institutions: Saudi Arabia’s Dār al-Iftā’ (The General Presidency of Scholarly Research and Iftā’), Turkey’s Diyanet (The General Presidency of Religious Affairs), and the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) in America. The book brings together diverse theoretical discussions and practical examples that offer a comparative analysis of contextual factors and the attitudes of scholars to provide solutions that are applicable in their relevant societies. The central theme of the book scrutinizes the methodological diversities of the institutions; the contextual and dynamic complexities regarding the approaches of scholars living in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and America; and the underlying influences regarding madhhab (school of law) affiliation, social values, cultural practices, and legal and political systems over the institutions’ fatwās. Underscoring the role of fatwā institutions in the contemporary world, the book is composed of five detailed chapters. In the introductory part, Yakar provides an eloquent synopsis regarding the chronological alteration in the nature of fatwā from individual to collective, enlightens the readers regarding the selection criteria of these institutions, and mentions the idiosyncratic characters of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and America from a religio-legal perspective. The main strengths of the book are its comprehensible representation of an accessible anthology regarding comparative fatwās, its clear focus on religious institutions, and its potential to broaden the readers’ minds with respect to the intellectual diversity of scholastic debates over the solutions to modern problems.

Ebû Reşîd en-Nisâbûrî’nin Mu‘tezile Mezhebindeki Yeri ve Ekol İçerisindeki Polemiklere Yaklaşımı

Author(s): Edip Yılmaz,Mehmet Zeki İşcan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 61/2024

In this paper, we have examined the position of Abū Rashīd al-Nīsābūrī in the school of Muʿtazila and his approach to the polemics within the school. He was one of the prominent students of Qāḍī ʿAbd al-Jabbār and assumed the leadership of Muʿtazila of Basra after the death of his teacher. Although there is not much information about his life in the sources, it is reported that he belonged to the Baghdād school in the early years of his life and was influenced by the views of Abū’l-Ḳāsim al-Balkhī, who had a great reputation in the Khorasan region. In his surviving works, which are written from the perspective of the Basra school, he continues to refer to al-Balkh̲̲ī's views extensively. The fact that he belonged to the Baghdād school in the early years of his life and later became a member of the Basra school gave him the opportunity to get to know both schools closely. Based on this experience, he wrote a work on the polemics between the two schools and defended the views of Abū Hāshim al-Jubbāʾī against the Baghdād Mu‘tazilites. When we closely examine al-Nīsābūrī's views, we can say that he preserved the Mu‘tazilite point of view to a great extent during the period of the Buwayhids when Shiite tendencies started within the Muʿtazila. Instead of presenting different ideas and approaches, he tried to make the Mu‘tazilite heritage more systematic and understandable by following the path of his teacher. He also put forward some unique approaches. In particular, he criticized early Mu‘tazilite thinkers such as al-Naẓẓām on the issue of sarfa and took an attitude close to the general Sunni view. As al-Shahrastānī states, it is possible to see this close positioning of the Basra Mu'tazilites to Sunni thought in al-Nīsābūrī's views on prophethood and miracles. In our study, using the documentation technique, al-Nīsābūrī's works that have survived both in manuscript and printed form have been identified. These works were analyzed through content analysis and the results were evaluated.
