Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal (d. 241/855), renowned for his profound knowledge of hadith—the reports of the Prophet’s sayings and deeds—is a major figure in the history of Islam. Ibn Ḥanbal’s piety and austerity made him a folk hero, especially after his principled resistance to the attempts of two Abbasid caliphs to force him to accept rationalist doctrine. His subsequent imprisonment and flogging became one of the most dramatic episodes of medieval Islamic history. Ibn Ḥanbal’s resistance influenced the course of Islamic law, the rise of Sunnism, and the legislative authority of the caliphate. Virtues of the Imam Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal is a translation of the biography of Ibn Ḥanbal penned by the Baghdad preacher, scholar, and storyteller, Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201). It includes insights into Ibn Ḥanbal’s childhood, travels, and teachings, as well as descriptions of his way of life. Volume One presents the first half of the text, offering insights into Ibn Ḥanbal’s childhood, education, and adult life, including his religious doctrines, his dealings with other scholars, and his personal habits. Set against the background of fierce debates over the role of reason and the basis of legitimate government, Virtues of the Imam Ahmad ibn Ḥanbal tells the formidable life tale of one of the most influential Muslims in history. A bilingual Arabic-English edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably the single most important element in Abrahamic cross-confessional relations has been an ongoing mutual interest in perennial spiritual and ethical exemplars of one another’s communities. Ranging from Late Antiquity through the Middle Ages, Crossing Confessional Boundaries explores the complex roles played by saints, sages, and Friends of God in the communal and intercommunal lives of Christians, Muslims, and Jews across the Mediterranean world, from Spain and North Africa to the Middle East to the Balkans. By examining these stories in their broad institutional, social, and cultural contexts, Crossing Confessional Boundaries reveals unique theological insights into the interlocking histories of the Abrahamic faiths.

Download or read book Ahmed Ibn H nbal and the Mi na written by Walter M. Patton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ahmed Ibn Hạnbal and the Miḥna: A Biography of the Imam Including an Account of the Moham Medan Inquisition Called the Mihna, 218 234 A. H The religious sentiment in the Muslim populace had not much sympathy with the loose views and free living of the liberal teachers. Hence it was that they idolized as they did a man like Ahmed ibn Hanbal. His intense devotion to the things most venerated and cherished by the people: God, the Prophet, the Koran, the Tradition, the Sunna of the Prophet, and the Communion of the Faithful, endeared him to the mass of the common folk. He was, also, a remarkable example of an effort which always excited reverence in the breast of the Muslim, namely, the effort 'to bring himself near to God and thus secure a good reward from him'. Those who are familiar with the stock expressions of Mohammedan piety will understand what this means in the case of a sin cere and earnest religionist. Judging by the record of a host of extravagant visions of blessedness in Paradise which men had of the Imam Ahmed after his departure from the world, one cannot doubt that all good Muslims believed him to have obtained even more than the good reward for which he had hoped. That Ahmed ibn Hanbal has come to be regarded as the founder of the Hanbalite Madhhab, or School, is not to be wondered at, though it is not because of any intention on his part, as far as I can see. He was a great saint and defender of orthodoxy, and it is due to this fact that his pupils andadmirers, after his death, sought to give form to their master's teachings and compacted themselves into a sect or school of theology. I do not believe that Ahmed him self had the idea that such would occur. That a school was formed spontaneously is a testimony to the powerful impression of the man's personality upon his own age and that following. The things which the Muslims reckon to Ahmed's praise are his personal life, his intensely orthodox teaching, and his maintenance of his teaching in the face of persecution. He was learned in only one direction, that is, in the Koran, Tradition, the Consensus of usage and Opinion among the Faithful. These things he knew thoroughly; of worldly learning he does not appear to have had any great store. The kind of knowledge he had, supplementing great courage and firmness and much natural shrewdness, was his effective weapon in the controversial warfare which he had to wage. Ahmed's great book the Musnad is the best monument to that knowledge in which he especially excelled. It exercised such an influence, in itself and in the works derived from it, for the maintenance of Tradition in its worthy place as a basis of theology, that its author's career ought to be known. We will then see the real life which was so steadying in its effect upon Mohammedan re ligious thought, and which was but followed up in its effect by the book which it produced.

Download or read book On Salafism written by Azmi Bishara and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Salafism offers a compelling new understanding of this phenomenon, both its development and contemporary manifestations. Salafism became associated with fundamentalism when the 9/11 Commission used it to explain the terror attacks and has since been connected with the violence of the so-called Islamic State. With this book, Azmi Bishara critically deconstructs claims of continuity between early Islam and modern militancy and makes a counterargument: Salafism is a wholly modern construct informed by specific sociopolitical contexts. Bishara offers a sophisticated account of various movements—such as Wahabbism and Hanbalism—frequently collapsed into simplistic understandings of Salafism. He distinguishes reformist from regressive Salafism, and examines patterns of modernization in the development of contemporary Islamic political movements and associations. In deconstructing the assumptions of linear continuity between traditional and contemporary movements, Bishara details various divergences in both doctrine and context of modern Salafisms, plural. On Salafism is a crucial read for those interested in Islamism, jihadism, and Middle East politics and history.

Download or read book The Virtues Of Sham written by Arsalan Yunus and published by Ark Of Knowledge Publications. This book was released on 2023-12-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive translation of the book Fada'il Ash-Sham, or The Virtues of Sham, by the great scholar Shaykh Imam Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Abd al-Hadi also famously known as Imam Ibn Abd al-Hadi. This is a short treatise that includes two main sections which discuss Ayat and Ahadith about the virtues of Sham, and Ahadith which mention the rise of Fitnah from the East. In recent years, the people of Sham have been undergoing huge tribulations in which they are being oppressed. Women are being widowed, children are being slaughtered and weak old people are being dragged to the ground. We believe that this is a temporary test on the people of Sham, which will remove the corruption and create more Īmān among them O Allah, save the oppressed among the believers and Muslims in the land of Sham, and in the east and west of the Earth, O Most Merciful grant them relief and a way out from oppression. Amin.
