Author(s): Marek Moroń / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Muslim International Forum (MIF) is an entity where the founding and supporting partners are inter alia Religious Board of Muslims of the Russian Federation, International Union of Muslim Scholars, Presidency of Religious Affairs of Turkish Republic, Al Mustafa International University (Qom, Iran), The Institute of Asian and African Studies of Lomonosow Moscow State University, Moscow Islamic Institute, Faculty of Asian, and African Studies of Sankt Petersburg State University (MIF 2019a). The XV Forum was also organised with support of German Muslim organisations (Islamische Federation in Berlin, Zentralrat der Muslime, and Islamrat fur die Bundesrepublik Deutschland). One of the essential goals of MIF is the consolidation of moderate and constructive forces of the Muslim world. Islam of the 21st century stands against unprecedented challenges facing humanity such as numerous military and political conflicts, terrorism and extremism, cultural decline, insufficient scientific development, global health hazards, starvation, but also faces the hijacking of its name by quasi ideology of terrorism, extremism of criminal roots; taking the name of Islam on their banners.

Ideological Counter-Narrative as a Response to Fundamentalist Ideology in Europe and South Asia. An Analysis of Selected Cases in Their Cultural Context and an Outline of Recommended Activities

Author(s): Piotr Kłodkowski,Anna Siewierska-Chmaj / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The article discusses the issues of religious radicalisation and de-radicalisation in contemporary Islam. Its authors present complex phenomena of ideological, historical, cultural and political contexts of radicalisation processes, investigate the distribution of radical propagandist materials among various Muslim communities around the world and analyse the consequences of ideological transformation of Islamic fundamentalism in selected European countries. The authors conclude that radicalisation propaganda has a global appeal due to the fact it has adopted a carefully selected group of globally recognised ideologues (Ibn Abd al-Wahhab, Abul A’la Maududi, Sayyid Qutb), but the recommended de-radicalisation processes should be rooted locally or regionally. The article proposes a constructive theoretical framework, a working hypothesis that should be constantly revised and modified in the changing socio-political environment.

The PEGIDA Facebook Corpus covering user comments (2014–2015), the PolRrA Corpus containing right-wing populist speeches (2016–2017) and the Instagram Corpus of the hashtag #identitäre (2019–2020) with postings and user comments are the data basis. Thus the corpus consists of different language-based and multimodal entities. The aim is to show how right-wing discourse communities in Germany are constituted by us-you relations, naming practices and visual patterns across time, platform and organization.

La spontanéité des émotions mise à l’épreuve sur internet : exprimer, susciter, manipuler

Author(s): Laura Ascone / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2020

Due to the development of the computer-mediated communication, the expression of emotions has undergone significant changes. This paper proposes à linguistic analysis of the verbalisation of emotions on the Internet. The goal was to examine the way the expression of emotions can be exploited by the speaker. Therefore, the study was conducted on a propagandist discourse available on the Internet. More particularly, Dabiq and Dar alIslam, the official online magazines published by the Islamic State, constituted the corpus of this analysis. This way, it was possible to investigate how emotions, which are spontaneous by nature, become carefully formulated productions.

O IBN TEJMIJI I NJEGOVOM RACIONALNOM PRISTUPU TEOLOŠKO-FILOZOFSKIM PROBLEMIMA

Author(s): Hasan Džilo / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 85/2021

The article analyses Ibn Taymiyyah’s logical and theological concepts which have philosophical aspects because they rely upon rational arguments which are free from any other external influence. Ibn Taymiyyah follows his own philosophical predisposition (fitrah), which he personally considered to be much more capable to relate about the truth than any other philosopher. His criticism is directed against theologians, philosophers and Sufis who were under the influence of Greek philosophers. The pivotal issue in all his theological-philosophical discourse is the transcendence of God and the relation between God and his attributes. He believes that God’s essence is one, and His attributes are plural. We cannot speak of God but only about His attributes and about His names that are mentioned in the Qur’an which are derived from the empirical world as a requirement of human mind. Thus, the discourse about God’s attributes includes the discourse about His essence.

ISLAMSKI POGLED NA NASILJE U PORODICI – PRISTUP I REALNOST

Author(s): Safija Malkić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 86/2021

The Islamic approach to life, in regards to the attitude towards oneself and towards the others, and the Islamic concept of personal and family life imply and require one’s determination and persistence on his path towards good, justice, righteousness, responsibility as well as refraining from transgressing the given limits or violation of the rights of the other person. Violence towards oneself or towards others is alien to all the Islamic principles; thus a Muslim, a man or a woman, are not to engage in any form of violence, that is to say they must not be perpetrators of any form of violence whatsoever. Keeping in mind the role of family in Islam, violence should never be linked to it, and by no means can a Muslim family be a place where violence is witnessed. Regarding the fact that Islam holds domestic violence as an incomprehensible phenomenon, utterly inconsistent with the idea of what the family is, what it symbolises and with what is expected of it, also it is unthinkable that any member of the family behaves violently towards any other of its members even more so to justify those acts by misinterpreting and wrongly translating certain ayahs of the Qur’an or the Sunnah of Muhammeda, a.s. However, if the case of domestic violence still does occur, it is necessary to react, using a multidimensional approach, to help the victim as well as to help the perpetrator realise that he has committed the act of violence and to assist the both during the process of rehabilitation.

RELIGIJSKO-PEDAGOŠKI POGLEDI NA TJELESNO I EMOCIONALNO ZLOSTAVLJANJE DJECE

Author(s): Dina Sijamhodžić-Nadarević / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 86/2021

This article analyses religious and pedagogical perspective regarding physical and emotional abuse of children. Disciplinary and sanctioning methods of Qur’an and the Sunnah are analysed here for this purpose, however, bearing in mind characteristics and conditions which imply that these are taken as options only after all the other positive up-bringing approaches and methods like improvement, encouragement and prevention have been exhausted. Theoretical framework and terminology pertaining to disciplinary and sanctioning measures are pointed out here as well. A model of the Messenger’s relation with children in the context of upbringing and corrective measures is presented here as an exemplary, tolerant, empathic, and non-violent upbringing method. The article also demonstrates a pedagogical view of damaging consequences of physical and emotional abuse upon children’s health.

SKICA ZA RAM IMAMA IZ SOCIJALISTIČKOG PERIODA BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE – HUSEIN-EF. HUSIĆ

Author(s): Ferid Dautović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 87/2021

This work thematizes life, education and professional life endeavour of imam Husein efendi Husić from Dub as a paradigm of an imam who worked in difficult circumstances during the communist rule after the Second World War. The article offers an insight into the service of Husein effendi Husić, his work in maktab and his activities in jamaat. Based on documents from the archives of Gazi Husrev- bey’s Library, the author here presents professional endeavour of Husein effendi, historical circumstances he worked within and challenges he faced in that regard. Professional life of Husein effendi is an image whose framework is befitting to all the imams who worked during the socialist government rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina and who in the midst of an aggressive secularisation remained faithful to Islam and to the Islamic Community. In this regard, this article serves as a tribute to all the imams of this period in history as an expression of gratitude for their selfless endeavours.

Author(s): Adis Sultanović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 87/2021

The introductory section of this article relates about socio-political circumstances in socialist Bosnia and Herzegovina during the period 1945-1965, due to which the Islamic Community of the country was faced with grave challenges which affected its organisation and functioning. This post-war period was also marked by very strenuous lack of finances in the Islamic Community which was primarily result of series of normative regulations issued by the communist government, analysis of which are presented in the initial part of the article. In the second part of the article, the author thematizes the financial circumstances of the Islamic Community after the issuance of the Law of Nationalization of rental buildings and land for construction in 1958. The “Regulation regarding the membership fees” which the Islamic Community presented, the Commission for Religious Issues of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1963 as an attempt to resolve its financial crises, is of focal significance to the author in this article.

Islamska filozofija na Zapadu: kritička analiza recentnih studija

Author(s): Rusmir Šadić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 03/163/2021

The end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century revealed an increase in scientific interest in the problems of Islamic philosophy, especially noticeably in the West, where we encounter new achievements of already established authors, but also valuable works of younger generation scientists, who created an entirely new circle of experts within the field of Islamic philosophy. In this paper, we aim to offer an analysis of the most significant studies of Islamic philosophy during the first two decades of the 21st century, based on pointing out the most important titles, whose content and critics recommend them as paradigmatic. Critical research written in the West at the beginning of the 21st century shows that Islamic philosophy, even in its most recent phase, remains predominantly related to the metaphysical and epistemological problems characteristic of classical Muslim philosophical thought. We take as a frame of reference to present in the task outlined above, among the many authors, the works of Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Peter Adamson, Massimo Campanini, Richard Taylor and Ian Richard Netton.

The Perevodchik-Terjiman Newspaper: A Bilingual Phenomenon of the Muslim Press in Late Imperial Russia

Author(s): Nadhezda Tikhonova / Language(s): English Issue: 39/2021

This case study examines the bilingualism of the prominent Russian Muslim newspaper of the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, known as the Perevodchik-Terjiman (literally “Translator” or “Interpreter”) by means of discourse analysis. This newspaper was published from 1883 to 1918 in Crimea, until 1914 by Ismail Gasprinskii (1851‒1914), a prominent enlightener of Russian Muslims. Until December 1905, the newspaper was issued in two languages–Russian and so-called common-Turkic. The latter language was unsuccessfully intended to become a common literary language for Russian Muslims. Despite the declarations, the parallel articles in Russian and Turkic barely presented direct translations from one language to another. On the contrary, there were significant differences. The differences in Russian and Turkic narratives were not markers of opposing intentions or obscure meanings. It is argued here that this feature can be qualified as an instance of cultural bilingualism, which reflected the multiculturalism of the newspaper’s heterogeneous audience.

HADIS U RUKOPISNOM DIVANU PJESNIKA I MUḤADDIṮA HASANA BOŠNJAKA

Author(s): Semir Rebronja / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 19/2021

Ḥasan ibn Muṣṭafā al-Būsnawī al-Madanī, Hasan Bošnjak, was born in Medina in the last decade of the 12th century AH, and he wrote in the first half of the 13th century (the end of the 18th and the first half of the 19th century). With regards to the year of Hasan Bošnjak’s death, we might assume that he died in the mid-13th century AH. Analyzing his Divan, we come to the conclusion that he wrote tarihs in different periods of life from 1215/ 1800 to 1247/1831 – approximately in the period of thirty years. We do not come across any tarih written after the year of 1247 H, so based on that we assume that the author died in 1247 H/ 1831 or a year or two after. As a famous muhaddith (an expert on hadith, the tradition of the Prophet) he sang, among other things, about Buhari and Muslim, saying that the Mufti of Medina and later Shaykh al-Islam Ahmed Arif Hikmet commented on the works. The most significant source, after the Qur’an, is the Prophet’s tradition (al-sunnah) based on the Prophet’s words, acts, and tacit approval. From the time of the Prophet s.a.w.s. the writing down of the al-sunnah began, and in the 2nd century AH the intensive work on the codification (al-tadwin) of the Prophet’s tradition based on written and oral sources began. It was the time of flourishing the hadith sciences and in the first half of the 3rd century the greatest hadith experts lived and worked. Hundreds of works were written, among which the best-known are two hadith collections called ṣaḥīḥim. The authors are Abū ‘Abd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Ismā‘īl al-Buẖārī (194 / 810-256 / 870) and Abū al-Ḥusayn Muslim ibn al-Ḥağğāğ ibn Muslim al-Qušayrī al-Naysābūrī (- - 261/875). In Divan by Hasan Bošnjak there are, among other things, four songs, one dedicated to Buhari and three to Muslim.

On Chinese Hui-Muslim elementary vocabulary (2): Funeral terminology

Author(s): Sūn Mèngyáo,Michael Knüppel / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

With this paper the writers continue their series of articles on Chinese Muslim elementary vocabulary. As already mentioned in the first part, in most Chinese dictionaries the specific elementary vocabulary of Islam is omitted. The paper in hand deals with the funeral terminology of Chinese Muslim. In contrast to the prayer terminology, we can only find one direct borrowing in Sino-Arabic, but no Sino-Persian transcription (Arabic and Persian loanwords phonetically transcribed with Chinese characters) among the funeral terms. More often the common Chinese terms are also used in the specific Muslim context. Furthermore, it is obvious that the number of terms is somehow limited comparing to the prayer terminology.

Predstavljanje bosanskih muslimana u srednjoj Europi. Prikazi, Prijenosi i Razmjene

Author(s): František Šistek / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 2/2021

Glavni cilj ove knjige je da istakne važnost bogatih susreta, prijenosa i razmjena između naroda srednje Europe i muslimana iz Bosne i Hercegovine za razvoj i transformaciju modernog bosansko-muslimanskog indentiteta i njegovog predstavljanja od devetnaestog stoljeća pa sve do danas. Također pruža dokaz o tome kako je historija odnosa sa bosanskim muslimanima izgradila stavove i politike prema muslimanima i islamu općenito, u Habsburškom carstvu, među raznim narodima, kao i u post habsburškim državnim sljednicama te regije. Prikazi i poimanja bosanskih muslimana, koje su izgradili srednjoeuropski autori i posmatrači različitih nacionalnih i socijalnih slojeva, su također imali utjecaja na bosanske muslimane, njihovo samopoimanje i širi proces “preuređivanja svemira” u radikalno drugačijem postosmanskom periodu i turbulentnom dvadesetom stoljeću.

Imagining Bosnian Muslims in Central Europe. Representations, Transfers and Exchanges

Author(s): František Šistek / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

The main purpose of this book is to highlight the importance of the rich encounters, transfers and exchanges between the peoples of Central Europe and the Muslims of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the development and transformations of modern Bosnian Muslim identity and its representations from the nineteenth century until the present. It also provides evidence of how the history of relations with the Bosnian Muslims shaped attitudes and policies towards Muslims and Islam in general in the Habsburg Empire, among its various peoples, and also in the post-Habsburg successor states of the region. The representations and conceptualizations of the Bosnian Muslims, constructed by Central European authors and observers of various national and social backgrounds, did not remain without effect on the Bosnian Muslims themselves, their self-conceptualizations, and the wider process of ‘reordering the universe’ in the radically different post-Ottoman era and the turbulent twentieth century.

THE SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE OF MIRROR IN THE MYSTICAL POEMS AND THE REFLECTION IN ISLAMIC ART

Author(s): Golnar Alibabaei / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

As a symbol and mystery, a mirror has been widely used in the work of mystic poets of Iran. From the mystics’ point of view, the universe, in all of its overt and covert manifestations, is nothing but a mirror of God. The art of Islam, where God’s existential appearances exist, wishes to reflect the mirror’s mystery. The present article aimed at finding out the symbolic presence of mirrors in mystical poems and how it is reflected in Islamic art. The research is conducted through descriptive-analytical method and seeks to answer the question: What are the themes of the mirror symbol in mystical poems and why does it appear in Islamic art? Hence, using the method of gathering library information and electronic resources, the findings show that the artistry of the Iranian poets regarding the concept of the word mirror in terms of the unity of the essence of Haq Ta’ala and human’s life is entirely associated to the pantheism of universe. A mirror that has manifested its inner meaning in Islamic art. These aspects in the perfect human being’s life, whose origin is the light of all lights, are a reflection of thousand and a one God’s attributes. They have been mirrored the world and have been manifested in various forms in Islamic art. This is a kind of mirror of the beauty of truth.

OMNISCIENCE, IMMUTABILITY AND TENSED FACTS IN AVICENNA AND AL-GHAZÂLÎ

Author(s): Abdulkadir Tanış / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2021

In Islamic thought, the question “How does God know tensed facts?” has been thoroughly discussed over a tension between the attributes of omniscience and immutability. Avicenna and al-Ghazâlî, who give wide coverage to this problem in their studies, propose different solutions to eliminate this tension. Avicenna acknowledges that a being who knows tensed facts is subject to change, therefore he claims that God knows everything in a universal way and excludes tensed facts from the extent of omniscience. On the other hand, al-Ghazâlî claims that God knows tensed facts, but He does not undergo any real change by knowing them. In this study, I will argue that neither of these answers are convincing in generating a solution to the expressed tension.
