Book excerpt: Note from the Author about the Book: In the Name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Praise is due to Allāh who is worthy of praise and has authority over it. He guides the people toward it (praising Him) and rewards them and compensates them for it – an increasing praise which does not vanish nor end. His might is exalted and His sovereignty is great. He is exalted, His names are sacred, and His blessings are continuous. Everything is humiliated in His Awe and is humble before His Ruling and Divinity. One cannot describe His characteristics and the imagination cannot fathom knowing Him. He is as He has described Himself: the God, the One, the Only, the Eternal, He is not begotten nor does he beget, and there is none like Him. And I testify that there is no god but Allāh. He is alone and He has no partners. And I testify that Muḥammad is His Slave and His Messenger. He (Allāh) has given him (the Prophet) the platform (on the Day of Judgment), honoured him with (innumerable) merits, dignified him with prophethood, supported him with miracles, and manifested Islām through him. He has elevated him above all of His creation from among the inhabitants of His heavens, His earths, His lands, and His oceans. He has elevated him to a position which no one can ascend to and no one can describe. He has elevated the Prophets’ family above all of creation through him and He has appointed them as His Manifesting Decisive Proofs. He supported them with Imamate and made obeying them mandatory on everyone who follows His religion, believes in His Oneness, and testifies to (the prophethood of) His Messenger. He has made their merits such that no one can describe them and no one can truly praise them. The most intelligent ones cannot truly understand their merits and no one can wrongfully desire their (unique) merits. He has appointed them as the stars for the earth through whom people are guided (and prevented) from going astray and through whom confusion and (spiritual) blindness are kept away. And He has appointed them as the pillars of the earth who prevent it from destroying its inhabitants. He has explained their merits on the tongue of His Prophet and made loving them obligatory on His slaves in His Speaking Book and through the tongue of His Truthful Prophet by saying – and He is the most honourable one to say anything – “Say (O Muĥammad) I do not ask you anything for the toils of prophethood, except love for my nearest kin” (42:23). The Prophet ordered (the people) to love them and stressed seeking nearness to them, being kind to them, and going to their Ziyārah during their lives and after their death. He mentioned such (incredible) merits and rewards for going to their Ziyārah that (these merits and rewards) are beyond that which can be fathomed by the human imagination, counted by all of the created beings, or truly described. However, his nation did the opposite of that which Allāh and His Messenger had ordered. Instead (his nation) killed those whom they were ordered to love, expelled those whom they were ordered to obey, and abandoned those to whose Ziyārah they were ordered to go. They frightened those who accepted the orders of Allāh willingly and who fulfilled them based on their ability and the circumstances of the time. They antagonized them (for going to Ziyārah). Despite this, they expect to be guided to the right path, they believe that they are the followers of the correct path and that they fulfill that which has been made obligatory on them day and night. And they expect the intercession of their Prophet on the Appointed Day (of Judgment). Nay!!! Their Prophet will be their enemy on the Promised Day! He will seek revenge against them at the time of reward (and punishment) on the Day of Judgment in front of the Lord of the lords. Verily He is Blessed and Exalted, far above oppressing the slaves. “Lo! Your Lord is ever watchful” (89:14). I will explain to you[1] – may Allah extend your life – the rewards which Allāh gives to those who go to the Ziyārah of His Prophet and his family through that which has been narrated only from them (the Ahlul Bayt), against the will of those who deny their merits, those who reject them, and antagonize (them and their followers) based on this. I seek help from Allāh in this and rely on Him. He is sufficient for me in all affairs and He is the best One on whom one can rely. Verily that which led to writing this book was your repeated requests (to do so) as well as my knowledge of the rewards and the nearness which I can attain to Allāh, His Messenger, ‘Ali, Fāṭimah, and the Imams by writing this book, and to the rest of the believers through publishing these narrations and sharing them with my brothers from among the believers. I started to think about this (compilation) and focused my energy on it and asked Allāh, the Blessed and the Exalted, for help until I finished compiling it, using only the narrations of the Imams . I did not include anything which has been narrated from anyone else, for verily that which has been narrated from the Ahlul Bayt is sufficient; there is no need to narrate anything from others. We acknowledge that we cannot encompass everything which has been narrated from them about this topic (Ziyārah) or about any other topic (for that matter). Furthermore, I have only narrated that which was reported to me by the trustworthy ones from among our companions – may Allāh’s Mercy be upon them – and I did not include anything which has been reported by unknown or unreliable sources who are not well-known for their knowledge and narrations. I named this book Kāmil Al-Ziyārāt and I have divided it into (many) chapters. Each chapter is about a separate topic; all of the narrations in the chapter are related to the topic. This has been done to prevent confusing the reader. The reader does not need to worry about how to find something (specific) that he may be looking for. (Unfortunately) this has been the case with the books of some other authors who have named a chapter using a specific title but have (nevertheless) included that which is not related to it in that chapter to such an extent that sometimes there are chapters in their books which do not contain even one Ḥadīth which clearly explains the topic of the chapter. The reason I have organized the book in this specific way is to make it easier for those who are looking for a Ḥadīth about a particular topic. The reader can simply look at the titles of the chapters and find the Ḥadīth about the topic in question. The book was also organized so that the readers, those who study this book, and those who listen to the narrations in this book do not become weary (looking for something specific). (Finally), this work was compiled to inform people of that which Allāh has chosen for His friends from among those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ĥusain and (the rest of) the Masters and to increase their desire to (attain nearness to) them and to go to their Ziyārah through seeking the great rewards and victory which Allāh, the Great and Almighty, has prepared for them. I ask Allāh for that which He is worthy of giving and I ask Him through His most beloved names to send His blessing on Muḥammad and his family and to reward me for this book with that which I have hoped for with His Mercy and His Generosity, and I ask him not to deprive me of it. May Allāh’s blessing be upon Muḥammad and his righteous and chosen family. [1] The author has not mentioned the name of this person.

Download or read book Chronicles of the Martyrdom of Imam Husayn written by Muhammad Muhammadi Rayshahri and published by ICAS Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 1025 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a) sent shockwaves through the early Muslim community. Today, this tragedy is still remembered, studied, and commemorated. However, in recent years, there have been increasing questions over the reliability of the historical accounts of his martyrdom. What material is reliable, and what sources can be used when presenting the narrative of his martyrdom to others? The Chronicles of the Martyrdom of Imam Husayn was compiled to fill the need for a strongly reliable source on Imam Husayn’s (a) final days. Meticulously researched, it contains narrations about the Imam’s last stand that are found only in the earliest extant sources. Hand-selected for their reliability, they have been arranged and translated into fluid, precise English. No detail of the narrative of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a) has been left out, from his fateful journey towards Iraq, to the journey of the captives afterwards and the events surrounding Arba‘in. The Chronicles also includes narrations on related topics of interest, such as the custom of mourning the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a) and fasting on the day of Ashura. Ample preliminary matter written by recognised Islamic scholars addresses the question of the reliability of early and medieval sources, the nature of the oral versus the written tradition, and the challenges faced in the modern era in presenting a reliable account of Imam Husayn’s (a) martyrdom. The Arabic text of the narrations has been included throughout, and the work is rounded out with five detailed maps of the Imam’s journey. This work is certain to find a special place in the personal library of historians, students and scholars of Islam, those speaking from the pulpit, and anyone with an interest in Imam Husayn ibn ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (a).

Download or read book Muslim Christian Polemics in Safavid Iran written by Tiburcio Alberto Tiburcio and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the history of Muslim-Christian theological exchanges in Iran during the 17th and early 18th centuries. Focused on the work of the renegade missionary 'Ali Quli Jadid al-Islam (d. 1734), it contributes to ongoing debates on the nature of confessionalism, interreligious encounters, and cultural translation in early modern Muslim empires. By disentangling the connections between polemics and other forms of Islamic learning and by emphasizing the Shi'i character of the case in question, this study accounts for the dynamism of polemics as an ever-evolving genre capable to adapt to different historical contexts.

Download or read book Piety and Politics in Qajar Iran written by Nahid Massoumeh Assemi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-21 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Takkiyya Mu'avin al-Mulk is a building complex in the city of Kermanshah in western Iran, dedicated to the annual commemoration of the martyrdom of Husayn ibn 'Ali at the Battle of Karbala in 680, an event of seminal significance to Shi'i Islam. Private takkiyyas built by social elites were a phenomenon of the Qajar period, with their construction motivated by a political quest for legitimacy. This book examines the intersection of art and architecture, popular piety, and the politics of legitimation. Through an examination of the building and its decorative programme, it addresses issues of patronage, Shi'i iconography and popular religious practices during the early 20th century in Iran. It further argues for the role of takkiyyas in creation of a sense of community and group identity; the formative stage of the emergent idea of nationhood at the time, amongst those who frequented them.

Book excerpt: Global migration flows in the 20th century have seen the emergence of Muslim diaspora and minority communities in Europe, North America and other parts of the world.

It looks at Shiʻa minority communities in Europe, North and South America, Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia and discusses the particular challenges these communities face as "a minority within a minority"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is the reliability of a hadith narrator established? What distinguishes an ‘authentic’ tradition from a ‘weak’ tradition? How authentic are our hadith collections? The study of hadith transmitters (‘ilm al-rijal) is one of the most important disciplines in the analysis of textual accounts. It focuses on evaluating the reliability of people who transmitted narrations attributed to Prophet Muhammad and his successors and aims to categorise traditions into graded levels of authenticity and reliability. This book is an English translation of Durus Tamhidiyyah fi al-Qawa‘id al-Rijaliyyah, a widely-used textbook in Islamic seminaries. Designed with beginners to the subject in mind, the book is written in a clear and succinct manner and includes numerous worked examples and revision questions at the end of each chapter. Among the topics investigated by the author are the methodology used to establish the reliability of narrators, the general classifications of reliability, the validity of a rijali expert’s view, the types of traditions, and the major hadith and rijal books.

Download or read book The Heirs of the Prophet written by Liyakat N. Takim and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2007 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title After the death of the Prophet Muhammad, different religious factions within the Muslim community laid claim to the Prophet's legacy. Drawing on research from Sunni and Shi>ite literature, Liyakat N. Takim explores how these various groups, including the caliphs, scholars, Sufi holy men, and the Shi>ite imams and their disciples, competed to be the Prophetic heirs. The book also illustrates how the tradition of the "heirs of the Prophet" was often a polemical tool used by its bearers to demand obedience and loyalty from the Muslim community by imposing an authoritative rendition of texts, beliefs, and religious practices. Those who did not obey were marginalized and demonized. While examining the competition for Muhammad's charismatic authority, Takim investigates the Shi>ite self-understanding of authority and argues that this was an important factor in the formation of a distinct Shi>ite leadership. The Heirs of the Prophet also provides a new understanding of textual authority in Islam by examining authority construction and the struggle for legitimacy evidenced in Islamic biographical dictionaries.

Download or read book Zainab s Traffic written by Emrah Yildiz and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the value—religious, political, economic, or altogether social—of getting on a bus in Tehran to embark on an eight-hundred-mile journey across two international borders to the Sayyida Zainab shrine outside Damascus? Under what material conditions can such values be established, reassessed, or transgressed, and by whom? Zainab’s Traffic provides answers to these questions alongside the socially embedded—and spatially generative—encounters of ritual, mobility, desire, genealogy, and patronage along the route. Whether it is through the study of the spatial politics of saint veneration in Islam, analysis of cross-border gold trade and sanctions, or examination of pilgrims women’s desire for Syrian lingerie accompanying their pleas with the saint in marital matters, the book develops the idea of visitation as a ritual of mobility across geography, history, and category. Iranian visitors’ experiences on the road to Sayyida Zainab—emerging out of a self-described “poverty of mobility”—demonstrate the utility of a more capacious anthropological understanding of ritual. Rather than thinking of ritual as a scripturally canonized manual for pious self-cultivation, Zainab’s Traffic approaches ziyarat as a traffic of pilgrims, goods, and ideas across Iran, Turkey, and Syria.
