He has taught History at the University of Sind, and is presently the editor of the Urdu quarterly 'Tarikh'. Here he talks to Yoginder Sikand on Islam and militancy in contemporary Pakistan. What do you feel about the current talk of madrasas emerging as centres of 'terrorism' in Pakistan? How can madrasas be suitably reformed?

Islam and Interfaith Relations in South Asia Issue Challenging the ‘Wahhabi’-American Imperialist Nexus By Abida Shah The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia proclaims itself as the defender of Islam, and its king styles himself as the ‘custodian of the two holy places’ (haramain sharifain), the two sacred cities of Mecca and Medina. Although Islam is stiffly opposed to the institution of monarchy, the Saudi state represents one of the few remaining absolute monarchies in the world. The kingdom is named after its ruling dynasty, and the king has powers probably unparalleled in the rest of the world. No dissent is allowed, and the kingdom is run on the personal whims of its ruler and his large family. In other words, it represents the exact opposite of the democratic and relatively open state established by the Prophet in Medina. We [America] need their [Saudi Arabia’s] oil and therefore we have to make sure that they are friendly and therefore we are engaged in protecting their security. They, at the same time, are almost completely dependent on us for their security in a region in which they are very vulnerable and very rich, so there’s a kind of a curious, though asymmetrical, interdependence here. What the Saudis allowed the United States to do over in that part of the world was to set up a de facto infrastructure by purchasing airfields, by purchasing very modern ports, by purchasing a lot of American equipment, theoretically to support their forces, by buying a lot of American equipment that would use the same type of facilities that our forces needed. So, in effect, we had a replica of US airfields and ports all over in that part of the world paid for by the Saudis to be used by the United States when and if we had to go over there.

Marriage in Islam Marriage in Islam Hussein Khalid Al-Hussein, Ph.D. Introduction The Qur'an and Hadith address the family structure in Islam in great detail covering all aspects of family life. Marriage, divorce, inheritance, provision, rights and duties, and marital relationships in Islam are the main issues that are covered in the parts of the Qur'an and Hadith addressing the family structure in Islam. The family is the main cell in the society, and its structure affects the structure of the whole society. This is why Islam paid so much attention to protecting and taking care of the family. Islam has established rules that govern relationships between different families, as well as guidelines for relationships between members of the same family. Islam does not allow people to give way to bodily desires or to be dominated, controlled, or enslaved by them. If everyone became a slave to his passions, life would run in the wrong direction, and humans would become like animals. Humanity aims at development and improvement; it can never achieve such aims as long as it is dominated by unruly passions which exhaust all one's energy and lead downward to animalism. Islam prevents people from descending to the level of animalism.

the Message Continues ... 4/27 Back Front SPEECH BY THE PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA just because we condemn them. If we are to recover our dignity and that of Islam, our religion, it is we who must decide, it is we who must act. To begin with, the Governments of all the Muslim countries can close ranks and have a common stand if not on all issues, at least on some major ones, such as on Palestine. We are all Muslims. We are all oppressed. We are all being humiliated. But we who have been raised by Allah above our fellow Muslims to rule our countries have never really tried to act in concert in order to exhibit at our level the brotherhood and unity that Islam enjoins upon us. But not only are our Governments divided, the Muslim ummah is also divided, and divided again and again. Over the last 1400 years the interpreters of Islam, the learned ones, the ulamas have interpreted and reinterpreted the single Islamic religion brought by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, so differently that now we have a thousand religions which are often so much at odds with one another that we often fight and kill each other. From being a single ummah we have allowed ourselves to be divided into numerous sects, mazhabs and tarikats, each more concerned with claiming to be the true Islam than our oneness as the Islamic ummah. We fail to notice that our detractors and enemies do not care whether we are true Muslims or not. To them we are all Muslims, followers of a religion and a Prophet whom they declare promotes terrorism, and we are all their sworn enemies. They will attack and kill us, invade our lands, bring down our Governments whether we are Sunnis or

26. Al-Kharaj: Study Of Early Islamic Scholary Thoughts And Their Reception By Weste In fact, Ahmad b. Hanbal was his student. However, there seems to be no proofthat Yahya took part in the discussions and controversies of the mazhabs. http://islamic-world.net/economics/al_kharaj.htm

Home Shariah Rules Contract Others AL-KHARAJ AND RELATED ISSUES:A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EARLY ISLAMIC SCHOLARLY THOUGHTS AND THEIR RECEPTION BY WESTERN ECONOMISTS Introduction The issue of kharaj (tax on agricultural land) was among the issues that were important during the early and medieval centuries of Islam. This was due to the fact that as the territories of the Islamic empire expanded, the cost of managing and administering the state increased correspondingly. Hence, a number of works had been written on kharaj and taxation policies. The works differ in certain aspects; some are judiciary works (like that written by Abu Yusuf), while others are simply collections of traditions on kharaj or works by katibs (tax collectors and administrators) that described the ways through which kharaj was collected and accounted for. Unfortunately, most of the works seem to have disappeared in the course of time or parts there from being absorbed in later works. A. Ben Shemesh states that there have been some twenty-one works on the issue of kharaj, but only three have survived the ravages of time, that is, those written by at-Qadi Abu Yusuf, Yahya bin Adam and Qudama bin Ja'afar. (These works have been translated into English by Ben Shemesh, but unfortunately, translations by Muslim scholars are still to be expected) In order to understand the nature of these works, it would be beneficial if we know a brief history of these scholars and the time and place they lived. All the three scholars lived during the period of the Abbassid Caliphate. The earliest among them was Abu Yusuf (731-798 C.E.) who was a disciple of Imam Abu Hanifa, the founder of the Hanafi school, followed by Yahya bin Adam (752-818 C.E.) and Qudama bin Ja'afar (? -932 C.E.). Diagram 2 illustrates the time frame of the Caliphate times during which the three lived.

Top Society Islam Please consider applying to become an editor of one of the Islam subcategories. We need more editors here. more information This category contains links to websites in English about Islam. Those in other languages may be found under the relevant world category. The two meanings of the word Islam are "Peace" and "Submission (to the will of Allah)". Islam is a positivist religion in that it is based on proofs and contains no dogmas, a worldly religion in that it recognizes the social, biological, ... place of human beings in this world. It is a unifying religion in that it recognizes and calls to the messages of all previous prophets as Abraham, Moses, Jesus-Christ, it calls all mankind to peace, and it constructs a relationship between man and everything else that is closer than brotherhood for being created and assisted by The Same Creator, The Same Helper. It is the source of peace for both individuals and societies, in that it defines what is peace and how it can be reached. Being also the lifestyle ("deen" is more than religion) of over a billion followers spread throughout the world, it is worth taking a look at. Al-Islam's basic message is: "There is NO GOD EXCEPT ALLAH and Prophet Muhammad is Allah's servant and messenger.".

Surely, I will be one of many who discovered you through the article in the Advocate magazine. After browsing your website and reading the many incredibly hateful comments from homophobic muslims, I thought why would you chose to cause all this ruckus. Then, I thought what if Gandhi gave up or Martin Luther King said,"it's too much trouble." There will be many years and much tears shed(probably blood as well) until there is any semblance of tolerance in the Islamic community on gay rights.

Sheikh Ahmad Deedat on the subject of Shia/Sunni A lecture given in Iran on March 3, 1982 by Sheikh Ahmad Deedat on the subject of Shia/Sunni. ====================================================== Shaykh Ahmad Deedat: I seek refuge from the accursed Satan, In the name of God the Beneficent the Merciful. The Holy Quran says: "And if you turn away (from Islam and the obedience of Allah), He will substitute you for some other people, and they will not be like you." Quran 47:38 Mr. Chairman and brothers: While we are looking skeptically of the miracle of a nation reborn. Allah's inexorable decree is finding its fulfillment in the rise and fall of nations which is mentioned in the verse I have just read to you from Surah Muhammad. In the last section of the last verse Allah (swt) reminds us, and warns us that if ye turn back from your duties and responsibilities if you do not fulfill your obligations then he will replace you with another nation. Our Urdu speaking brethren use these words so beautifully when they describe some mishap that occurs in the community in talking about that other nation that can replace them. It is actually Quranic. And this really has been happening throughout history again and again. Allah (swt) first chose the Jews, the Bani Israel as he tells it in the holy Quran: "O children of Israel! Call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and that I preferred you to all other nations."(Quran 2:47).

Wazih, Mohammad (c 1803-1864) educationist, Islamic scholar and writer. Born in Bihar, he studied and worked in calcutta . He studied at Aliyah Madrassah in Calcutta and took up a teaching position at the same institution. He retired as Head of the Department of Arabic in 1856. Mohammad Wazih was an influential personality in the Muslim society of Calcutta. He had profound knowledge of Islamic scriptures and Arabic literature. He termed India 'Darul Harb' (an enemy land), and took the view that it was unscriptural and unreasonable to offer Jumma and Eid prayers in this country. He also published a booklet to this effect which was titled Dafush Shurur An Masayilin Nuzur Mohammad Wazih was vice president of Anjuman-e-Islami (1855), the first Muslim organisation in Calcutta, and the first president of Abdul Latif's mohammedan literary society (1863). He wrote a book of explanatory notes on religious issues in Urdu which was titled Nizamul Islam (1841). In it he discussed a variety of topics on Shariyah in the form of questions and answers, and attempted to establish the superiority of the Hanafi school of thought among the four mazhabs. His disciple Nasiruddin Sami wrote a long qasida in Persian in praise of Moulana Wazih. [Wakil Ahmed]

He said Dr Mahathir's stand on an Islamic state was "insincere" and filled with contradictions that have confused both Muslims and non-Muslims. It's significant in two aspects: The interview coincides with the 10th OIC currently in session in Putrajaya. Think multimedia! Hadi recognises the power of Internet and VCDs in tackling the info-rich and the info-poor in order to win them over to PAS' agenda. On Islam and governance Reading in context, this is what he claimed as Dr Mahathir's insincerity: "Umno's position on the issue is very cluttered. I was told that the prime minister has briefed officers in his department that the federal government will create a facade that favours Islamic laws, but that it will continue to fight attempt to implement such laws," said Hadi. Hadi dismissed Dr Mahathir's claims that Malaysia is already an Islamic State: "... Hadi said the definition of a true Islamic state is stated in the Quran and Hadith (Traditions of the Prophet).

Dr. Mahathir's Speech: An Analysis By Mohammad Asghar In an article published by News From Bangladesh in its issue of October 24, 2004 under the title of "All the hullabaloo about Mahathir's Speech," Dr. Habib Siddiqui wrote: "I have read Doctor Mahathir's entire speech a couple of times and failed to find signs of anti-Semitism. It is wrong to accuse him of anti-Semitism by quoting a sentence or two out of context from his very long speech." Despite the fact that I have been recuperating from a recent surgery, I could not check myself from writing this rejoinder to put the issues Dr. Habib discussed to their right perspectives. In my effort to do so, I will rely on the official version of Dr. Mahathir's speech, which he delivered at the OIC Conference held on 16th October, 2003 in Malaysia. Dr. Mahathir began his speech with the following words: "Alhamdulillah, All Praise be to Allah, by whose Grace and Blessings we, the leaders of the Organisation of Islamic Conference countries are gathered here today to confer and hopefully to plot a course for the future of Islam and the Muslim ummah worldwide."
