“ÂLİMLER, PEYGAMBERLERİN VÂRİSLERİDİR” İBARESİNİN YER ALDIĞI BİR HADİSİN MUTÂBAAT ve ŞEVÂHİD AÇISINDAN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Author(s): Hüseyin Akyüz / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 28/2013

The purpose of the science of hadith has been the conservation of the narrations ascribed to the prophet as far as possible. Therefore, Muhaddiths, have given place to the authentic (sahîh) and acceptable/good (hasan) hadiths along with weak narrations in their scripts. At the beginning, The weak hadiths that were written with the aim of stopping (tevakkuf) have been later included into the narration network in case the ones that did not have strong deficiencies could reinforce each other and become more sound. The hadith that contains the expressıon of "The Scholars are the heirs of prophets" was ranked as “hasan”, furthermore was accepted as “sahîh” by some scholars. This article has been written to articulate whether this hadith can be made sound due to the proliferation of its chains of transmitters (tariqs) or the reinforcement of its meaning.

“Tıbâk” [Tezat] Sanatı Bağlamında Kur’an’da Optimizm

Author(s): Necdet Çağil / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 48/2017

It is very well known that holy books -which are based on revelation- have adopted many literary arts as a wording style. This stylistic structure gives a flavor of fascinating expression power to those texts. This study aims to reflect the optimistic approach of Holy Qur’an within the art of contrast (tıbak) which is one of literary arts. It investigates the reason of mentioning the positive before the negative, where both are mentioned consecutively in the text and also related subtleties of meaning. This study mainly focuses on the interpretations of verses which exemplify various types of art of contrast, where the reference point is divine and human deeds. Especially with regard to art of contrast, verses that mention both deeds (divine and human) firstly mention the positive one and then the negative one. This wording style justifies that -as it is observed in the cosmic universe- optimism is dominant in the holy Qur’an (which is the verbal embodiment of cosmos). In some of the verses, the negative precedes the positive; however, this does not go against the optimistic wording style of the Qur’an, because those cases are absolutely due to the necessity of the context and also there are logical reasons for that.

“TURSKA KRIVICA” – JEDAN OD MOTIVA GENOCIDA NAD BOŠNJACIMA

Author(s): Enes Durmišević / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 77/2019

When talking about the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina and the genocide committed upon Bosniaks, it is very common to avoid mentioning religious motives and religious dimension of aggression and genocide. Even though it is common fact that the aim of this twofold aggression (Serbian and Croatian) upon Bosnia and Herzegovina was conquering the territory of B&H, it is important to consider the influence and the role of Christian Churches (Serbian Orthodoxs and the Catholic Church) in the aggression and the genocide. It is a fact that 1,347 waqf properties owned by the Islamic Community (614 mosques, 218 masjids, 69 maktabs, 37 tombs and over 400 other constructions) were destroyed which alone is an evidence, amongst other, of intentions and aims of both the aggressors. It should also be emphasised that the Army of Republika Srpska (military troops of Bosnian Serbs, Serbian quislings) played the major part in destroying most of the above mentioned properties of Waqf, whereas HVO – military troops of Bosnian Croats (Croatian quislings) destroyed over a hundred of the these waqf properties. This fact proves intention to destroy material and spiritual Islamic heritage of Bosniaks. According to the Serbian nationalistic and mythological interpretation of medieval history, Bosniaks have by accepting Islam become “Turks”, even a different race, betrayers of “their ancestral faith”, “murderers of Jesus” therefore it is legitimate even plausible to kill them, exterminate them by committing ethnic cleansing and genocide. On the other hand, Croatian mythological nationalistic thought suggests that Croats are the defenders and protectors of Christianity against the threat presented by Bosniaks as Muslims believing they are the “bulwark of Christendom”. Such interpretations of history and Christianity has led some priests to “bless” the slaughters prior to the crimes they were about to commit believing it was devotional and sacred work, pleasing God.

“We are fortress Europe!” Nativism and religion in the ideology of Pegida in the context of the European crisis

Author(s): Mihai Murariu / Language(s): English Issue: 20/2017

This article deals with the movement known as “Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the Occident,” or Pegida, focusing primarily on the nativist dimension which often takes centre stage in its ideological discourse. Pegida describes itself as a defender of Western Civilization and of its Christian legacy from what it sees as the perils of Islamisation on the one hand, and of globalist political elites on the other. In the context of the political changes and rise of alternative visions of civil society, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, Pegida should arguably be seen as a representative of a growing European nativist wave. Lastly, the article looks at the “Prague Declaration,” a document which was signed in 2016 by Pegida and a number of allied movements from outside of Germany.

„A MAGA KÉPÉRE...” – MISSZIONÁRIUSOK FOTOGRÁFIÁI MINT AZ EGYHÁZTÖRTÉNET FORRÁSAI

Author(s): Károly Zsolt Nagy / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2017

„The picture speaks for itself” – says the proverb, but how do we hear what it says and how do we understand its words? We are now in the age of visual information where visual content plays a role in every part of life. But we do not spend enough time looking at the pictures in detail. We spend a flash of time with them, and the pictures do not affect our consciousness, but our emotions. From this follows the question of how can we, as social scientists extract the contents of the photos? How can a photo be the source of the church history? This essay cannot, of course, give a perfect answer to the question, but it gives a brief introduction to the so-called „skills of visual literacy”, based on some photography relevant to Church history.

„Arabska wiosna” – sukces czy porażka polityki Iranu?

Author(s): Aleksandra Dzisiów-Szuszczykiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2012

Events and processes taking place in the Middle East and North Africa since December 2010, have been a huge challenge for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Initially they were met with an enthusiastic reception both by the authorities in Tehran, who expected a propaganda success, the restoration and improvement of relations with the Middle Eastern countries and strengthening Iran’s regional position. The Iranian society – inspired by the success of the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt – hoped for a new uprising against the regime. It is the expectations and the perception of the “Arab spring” by both the society and the regime, which are presented in the first chapters of the article. The next section deals with the Tehran’s response to the events and processes in various countries of the region within the context of Iran’s interests and values. Bearing in mind these two factors one can observe the ineffectiveness of Iranian strategy. As the months went by a positive approach and enthusiasm were replaced by uncertainty and anxiety about the possible loss of a main ally (Syria), influence in the region and popular support among the Arab societies as well as deterioration of relations with its neighbors. A critical assessment of the hitherto strategy towards the “Arab spring” and its consequences constitute the subject of the last chapter of the article.

„AZ IGAZ EMBER HITBŐL ÉL” (RÓMA 1,17) – A HIT, MINT A REFORMÁTUS ÖNÉRTELMEZÉS FŐ ALKOTÓELEME

Author(s): Sarolta Püsök / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2017

The topic is actual on one hand because of the 500th anniversary of Reformation, on the other hand because of the identity crisis particular to transition periods. From time to time we should rethink which factors define the reformed identity. From these theological concepts forming the identity this study focuses on faith. Based on the reformed definition of faith it involves intellect, emotion and will, so faith has cognitive, emotive and volitive aspects. The last one involves confession and living the faith. Confession is much more than a testimony in words, the works of love and a lifestyle reflecting the confessed values also belong to it.In the protestant view acts of kindness do not precede, earn salvation, they follow it, as acts of thankfulness. There is healthy spirituality only if the three aspects of the faith are in balance. The last ideas refer to the development of faith in all of the three directions, there are given some examples from church history.

„Chrislamische Hybride“? Kunstwerke an der Schnittstelle von Christentum und Islam

Author(s): Krystyna Greub-Frącz / Language(s): German Issue: 16/2016

In the wake of the Crusades, artifacts from the Islamic cultural sphere such as Fatimid drinking glasses and objects of crystallized quartz, Ayyubid bronze vessels, silk textiles, or olifants reached Christian Europe and were often integrated into sacred practices. In the context of the current migration crisis, these objects are being subsumed in the study of the fine arts under the term “hybrid”. Using the example of contemporary artworks at the intersection of Christianity and Islam, this paper seeks to explain the reasons for the appropriation of these objects by the Christian cultus in order to explore the problem of applying the concept of the hybrid in early medieval art. To conclude, the concept of the hybrid is critically scrutinized in the context of today’s increasingly popular pseudo-Christian-Islamic religion – Chrislam.

„Evropski islam“, „bosanski islam“ i „islamska tradicija Bošnjaka“ u mišljenju Alije Izetbegovića

Author(s): Elvir Duranović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2018

During the past decades in public discourse in Bosnia and Herzegovina there is increasingly talk about European Islam, Bosnian Islam and Islamic tradition of Bosniaks. Besides to other theorists, the contribution to the contextualization of these terms was given by late Alija Izetbegović, who saw the paradigm of a desirable Muslim who received Islam from the East, and from the West universal humanistic values.On the other hand, certain aspects of Islamic tradition of Bosniaks, as Dr. Fikret Karčić has defined it in his work, for Alija Izetbegović, they were solid dam from the growing waves of radical interpretation of Islam that have come in Bosnia and Herzegovina after democratic changes in the early 1990s to the present. In the paper it will be presented Alija Izetbegovic's basic thoughts about European Islam, Bosnian Islam and some aspects of the Islamic tradition of Bosniaks, based on published works, speeches and interviews.

„Istočno pitanje“ i balkanski odgovori u idejno-historijskoj perspektivi

Author(s): Safet Bandžović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 83-84/2020

Prošlost i sadašnjost su nerazdvojne, jedna tumači drugu. Mnogi procesi „dugog trajanja“ prevazilaze lokalne okvire i regionalne granice.To se odnosi i na složeno „Istočno pitanje“, njegov sadržaj i rukavce koji prelazi granice više stoljeća. Mada je veliki dio svog razdoblja Osmanskocarstvo držalo i do jedne četvrtine onoga što se naziva Evropom, nije smatrano članom evropskog međunarodnog sistema. Ono što je na Zapadu poznato o ovom carstvu, muslimanima i Balkanu, naročito ono što je govorila nauka, ali i ono što je govorila kvazinauka i popularna literatura, nikada nije bilo beznačajno. „Istočno pitanje“ je „višestoljetniproces sukobljavanja Istoka i Zapada, Prednje Azije i Europe, kršćanstvai islama, dviju kultura i civilizacija“. U biti, to je „nastojanje da se Osmanlije i islam izbace iz Evrope“. Stav da su muslimani „tuđinci“ u Evropi dio je mentaliteta poznatog pod imenom „Istočno pitanje“, koje je u Evropi živjelo od Kučuk-Kajnardžijskog mira 1774. do Lozanskogugovora 1923. godine. Mentalitet „Istočnog pitanja“ je nastavio da živi i dalje. Može se koristiti kao „referentni okvir“ za sažimanje i razumijevanje historije muslimana Balkana do kraja XX stoljeća. Ono što je na Zapadu poznato o Osmanskom carstvu, muslimanima i Balkanu, posebno ono što je govorila nauka, ali i ono što je „nudila“ kvazinauka i popularna literatura, nikada nije bilo beznačajno. Nema nacionalizma bez stereotipao “drugima”, bez njih nema stereotipa o “sebi”, niti interesnih manipulacija. Tomovi naučno utemeljenih djela ništa, pak, ne mijenjaju u odnosu prema historiji ukoliko su društvene i političke okolnosti takve daje poželjna drugačija “svijest” i “kultura sjećanja”. Načini prikazivanja historijskih događaja mogu da oblikuju i viđenja aktuelnih društvenih dešavanja. Historija se nikada ne ponavlja doslovno, iako se neke paralele teško mogu izbjeći.

„Nieświęci święci” w sufizmie. Kult mistrzów sufickich

Author(s): Zbigniew Landowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 15/2017

In the article the author presents the problem of miracles in Sufism, illustrating them with typical examples from all over the Islamic world – from Central Asia through India to Maghreb. Topic is made in the anthropological context of holiness of pīrs and cosmology of Sufism. Miracles and wonders are analyzed their value and usefulness of religion (from the perspective of theology), and the conclusion confirms the hypothesis that the dimension and the spiritual sense is faint, or no. The only function they perform, is to build the image of pīrs, as asaint, a man afflicted with the grace of Allah. Examples of miracles reveal the influence of the cultures and traditions of local and regional form and course miracles, for example. faqirismus confirm the influence of Islamic mysticism in India.

„Skazani” na islam? Rémi Brague i obrona cywilizacji łacińskiej

Author(s): Przemysław Artemiuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2016

Rémi Brague combines philosophical thought with the current analysis of the situation in Europe. He sees Islam as primarily legal system, demanding absolute obedience to Allah and his Prophet – Muhammad. In view of the crisis of European identity, the French philosopher proposes a return to the Latin tradition. He understands it as Romanity, which adopted the heritage of Athens and Jerusalem, and then forwarded it to the peoples living in the Empire.

„В шепите на Демир Баба“ – наблюдения при премиерата на един нов фестивал

„Не скретати пажњу на себе“ – да ли је и за кога је интеграција миграната важна? Горанци у Београду

Author(s): Jadranka Đorđević-Crnobrnja / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2017

In this paper, I discuss the question of the process of integration of the Gorani people who moved to Belgrade during or immediately after 1999, or during the war in Kosovo. I consider the process of integration of members of the Gorani community particularly important because it is a relatively small community not officially recognized as a minority in Serbia. Members of the Gorani community were turned into a category of internally displaced persons because they came from a territory that constituted a part of the same state (FR Yugoslavia). Integration is often referred to as a complex and multi-dimensional post-migration process. In this paper, I proceed from the fact that the integration process does not represent a sui generis phenomenon. In that sense, I support the critical attitude towards understanding this process. This has partly contributed to the fact that in the research I focused on the perception of the integration process resulting from the experience of the migrants themselves. Through analysis of narrative discourse, I present the specifies of the process of integration of members of the Gorani community in Belgrade. At the same time, I point out to the shortcomings of the integration policy implemented by the state.

لماذا لم يتشيّع المصريون تحت الحكم الفاطمي؟

Author(s): Ramy MAHMOUD / Language(s): Arabic Issue: 1/2022

Fatimid history is considered one of the main periods of Islamic history in Egypt, so we cannot talk about the cultural metropolis of Egypt, the city of Cairo, without mentioning its founder, Jawhar al-Siqilli, the leader of the Fatimid Caliph al-Muizz Li-Din Allah al-Fatimid. The same is true of the Al-Azhar Mosque, which since its establishment until now has gained international fame in the Islamic world, throughout the historical stages, in addition to many of the Fatimid monuments scattered in Old Cairo such as mosques, schools and alleys, all of this appears when talking about Egypt in general and Islamic Egyptin particular. The Fatimids sought to seize the Egyptian country a lot, as two military campaigns from North Africa to Egypt were launched, each of them failed. Then, the third campaign succeeded, led by Jawhar al- Siqilli, after the Fatimid Caliph al-Muizz prepared the equipment this time and arranged the army well, and had previously sent missionaries to this geography through the city of Alexandria and others, to herald the demise of the Ikhshidid state and the coming of the savior from this injustice and economic stagnation under which Egypt has fallen. He took several measures to try to declare Fatimid control over the Egyptian country. A delegation of the Egyptians sought to obtain a covenant from the Fatimid leader Jawhar al-Siqilli, to reassure them and remove their fears, especially with regard to their beliefs and religious matters. Indeed, the Fatimid leader issued this covenant, which included many things to reassure the Egyptians, among them that the Companions of the prophet are the most honorable people contrary to the famous Shiite belief- and that each will leave his belief, but it was not long before this covenant until many things were sealed.

مبادئ التربية من أجل المواطنة وسبل الارتقاء بها في العصر الحديث

دراسة تحليلية من منظور التربية الإسلامية

Author(s): Abdulfettah Ahmed Shehata / Language(s): Arabic Issue: 23/2019

In this paper, the author presents the concept of citizenship, the concept of citizenship pedagogy, the importance of citizenship in society and the scope of its application during the time of the Messenger of Allah, p.b.u.h., and the just caliphs, and finally concludes that the principles of citizenship pedagogy are as follows: First: The principle of rights and duties. This principle consists of the legal aspects that regulate the relationship between the state and its citizens, their attitude towards its institutions, the numerous rights its citizens enjoy, such as: political, economic, social and cultural, as well as the duties that bind its citizens. Therefore, building healthy relationships between individuals and the government requires acquainting people with all their rights so that everyone may enjoy them. Second: The principle of belonging. Belonging to the homeland is defined in a positive sense, supported by an individual’s affection for his/her homeland, thus confirming the existence of a connection with it. An individual’s belonging is defined by their pride and loyalty to the homeland, pride in his identity and belonging to the homeland, preoccupation with and awareness of its problems (...)

مدرسة البصرة الحديثية في النصف الأول من القرن الأول الهجري: دراسة في أسباب التأخر العلمي عن مدرسة الكوفة

Author(s): Ahmad Snober / Language(s): Arabic Issue: 1/2020

This paper focuses on the probable reasons of Kufan knowledge surpassing Basran knowledge in jurisprudence and Hadith in the first half of the first Hijri century despite some of the prominent learned companions having stayed in Basra for many years. Most importantly, Abu Musa al-Ash'ari having remained in Basra for 12 years and Abdullah Ibn Abbas for approximately four years; both of whom were well known to narrate many ahadith and were strong jurisprudentially. Despite this, they did not have the effect that Abdullah ibn Masud had in Kufa. My approach is to analyze many of the narrations of the companions who stayed in Basra with a focus on the scholarly relationship between the companions and the tabieen (followers) while simultaneously comparing it to Kufa which is similar geographically and in its foundation as a city. The main point of comparison is the scholarly effect of the Sahaba and the scholarly activity of the tabieen.
