Abstract

He denies the authenticity of Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal, which is the largest collection of hadiths of the Holy Prophet Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him. He has raised some objections from which the first objection is that: the attribution of “Musnad Ahmad” to Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal is not correct because this book was presented by few conspirators as an alternate of the Holy Quran after the death of Imam Ahmad, for keeping agreed the followers of various sects and school of thoughts Muslim community.

Abstract

Human being is endowed with intellect. The standard and domain of intellectual exposure are different and diverse. Consequently, it gives birth to diversity in opinions and perspective that eventually results in mutual disagreement. A deep assessment of the human life indicates the fact that diversity exist in almost all aspects of human life. The diversity of opinions, perspectives and narratives can be found with reference to culture and civilization, economy, entrepreneurship, modern scientific disciplines, politics and religion. The diversity is an indication of the evolution in human intellect. When the diversity is misunderstood as a negative connotation then it turns into conflict that results into incalculable and disastrous impacts on society. Pluralism plays a pivotal role in the evolution of diverse human society and multicultural civilization and a pluralistic society can tread the phases of socio-cultural development more conveniently and productively. If a society becomes an arena of religious intolerance, hatred and biasness then the fate of society becomes uncertain and bleak. It is need of the day to create awareness and pursue research studies regarding pluralism while keeping in view the golden traditions of Abrahamic religions. The present paper is an attempt to explore the fundamental principles that deal with religious tolerance and pluralism in Abrahamic religions. This paper will help to create awareness about the need and importance of tolerance and pluralism and will suggest recommendations for implementation of those principles both at state and society levels so that the culture of tolerance, pluralism, mutual understanding and human dignity are promoted in wider interest of a unified and peaceful society.

Abstract

Islam has made it obligatory for every Muslim to acquire knowledge. This does not mean obtaining a certificate or a degree, but to consider the phenomena of nature intellectually and rationally. When is it possible to acquire knowledge by considering the phenomena of nature? What methods are useful for this? According to Quranic instructions it is necessary to adopt a systematic and scientific approach to acquire knowledge. Qur'an briefly describes different angles of acquiring knowledge. Narrative, interrogative, question, analytical, poetic, comparative and critical methods of teaching are briefly described in the Holy Quran. The Muslim Ummah has a firm belief that the Qur'an is a comprehensive book which mentions every dry and wet, but this does not mean that the Qur'an is a manual book. This means that the Qur'an contains symbols and hints about everything. The fact that everything is mentioned in the Qur'an means that the Qur'an only provides guidance, while its interpretation requires contemplation. The method of contemplation can also be called the method of teaching and learning because the purpose of both is to acquire knowledge. The Qur'an has also provided guidance towards the method of teaching and learning. In the context of this guidance, this article has been compiled to expose new aspects of teaching and learning.

Abstract

Proverbs and fixed expression are the mirror which reflects people’s nature and the resume of what they have experienced. Proverbs are part of metaphorical language that has superficial as well as a deep sense. They are form of speech or an expression, it can’t understand by individual meaning. Role of culture is important in target language. These proverbs have been written briefly in small sentences to narrate long stories that are the main bey to understand human culture and social reality. Therefore, translating proverbs are more difficult for the translator, who are not familiar with them. The variations in cultures make translation process real challenge. Every proverb there are links and characters associated with it, where the translator had to look for the synonym identical to proverb similar in meaning and composition.

Abstract

The paradox in the language means to differ between two or more things, its meaning differs from one dictionary to the other even though it is closely related. It has its nouns, verbs etc. The paradox idiomatically has been studied by many scholars, authors, literary and elequent people as well as researcher. The meaning of paradox idiomatically had differed from a scholar to the other, a writer had discussed its meaning in a simple way while others discussed it thoroughly, on the other hand some contented by defining it, others studied its relations, its origins etc. Some writers searched in its relations with poems, some expressed its basis. These studies took place by Arabs. While, the Western people as well studied the paradox and searched about it. Many authors, literary people and scholars as well spent days and nights in studying this word. Like the Arabs, the meaning of paradox was different for every researcher, scholar or writer etc. Some discussed it throughly, other simply while some expressed its relation and types and so on. The paradox presents without bias two equivalent and opposing viewpoints. The paradox had then a definition after so many studies took place by different scholars, different writers, literary people and researchers either they were Arabs or Western. The paradox had its relations with poems, art, emotions as well as brain.

Abstract

This article deals with the rhetorical similes in Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi in Explaining Al-Tirmidhi by Mohmmad Abdul Rehman Al-Mubarakfoury. The metaphor is the broadest of the chapters of the science of statement, and the ancient scholars paid attention to it in their sermons from the time of the preIslamic era to the present and the first person to have dealt with the study. The analogy in his complete book is the file and he mentions: The simile came in many of the words of the Arabs even if someone said it is the most of their words, He was not removed, and Qudamah bin Jafar also used similes in his book “Criticism of the Poetry”. Al-Mubarakfuri referred to the rhetorical similes in “Tuhfat Al-Ahoudi” the hadiths that relate to describing the world and the conditions of the Hereafter. The Prophet may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, relies on the received similes that suggest means of clarifying the intended meaning of understanding, such as enhancing the sensory and the moral.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the philosophical approach and the methods used by ‘Abdul-‘Azīz Firharvi in his valuable manuscript Al-tamyīz, which dealt with the philosophers and scholars differences about the interpretation of philosophy from Quran and Sunnah.‘Abdul-‘Azīz Firharvi was the famous Muslim scholar of British India in all over the world.He was adept in all Islamic sciences, but he is regarded as one of the greatest ever Mutakalim born in the land of Indo-Pak. He has written more valuable works on Ilm Al-Kla’m and Al-Tami’z is the part of his aims.This manuscript is infact the middle ground between the fanatical scholars and the philosophers who have the correct ideas, That is: philosophy should not be rejected outright because of prejudice, nor should any philosophical thought be adopted without weighing the criteria of thinking and the Qur'an and Sunnah.Allama Farharvi has adopted the same style in terms of occasion and place and has used Qur'anic and rational reasoning. This article is a link between philosophy and Islamic thought, which will not only eliminate violence from society, but will also pave the way for new scholars to examine philosophy and Islamic thought in a new perspective.

Abstract

Metonymy is a rhetorical device widely used in the literary works of all the times. At the time when Quran was revealed the Arab were on the top of such idiomatic and rhetorical style of speech. Metonymy is the way to a hidden meaning or a far meaning from the apparent one. Translating metonymy creates problems while finding out the intended, desired and hidden meaning. These problems turn critical during translating the ‘Word of Heaven’. I have selected two consecutive metonymic phrases of Verse No. 43 of Chapter: The Women which is as under: ﴿ ِّنك ُ م ٌ د َ ح َ أ َ اء َ ج ْ و َ أ َ اء ِّسَ الن مُ ُ ت سْ َ م َ َل ْ و َ اِّئ ِّطأ َ غ ْ ال َ ّم ِّ ﴾ A total number of 32 Quran translators are randomly selected to find out the literal, semantic and metonymic translations of these two metonymic phrases. We can easily observe the various kinds of translation, sentence style, and shifts that create complexity for those readers who depend on translation. The paper quoted the stances of the Exegetes of Quran regarding these two adjacent metonymic sentences, determining the meaning mentioned by the majority of Exegetes and analyzde the English words used for rendering their meanings to find out which translation can be suggested for the source language general public to gain the real intended meaning as elaborated by the majority of Quran Exegetes.

Abstract

Islam is such a comprehensive, all-inclusive and basically a socialist religion, which has declared, it as an obligatory to achieve what the society needs and the factors which can be a barrier to social development, are forbidden and affixed as Haram (illegal) by Islam. In this regard after Holy Quran, Sunnah is the key to solve the problems of Muslim Ummah, which opens the door for humanity to look on that how can the obligations and prohibitions occurring in each age and time can be resolved. As for as, the analytical work of Sunnah literature is concerned it is a very high contribution in the field of Hadith and in this article titled “An analytical study of Muslim Jurist’s opinion regarding Sunnah”, it has been reviewed on that how the Sunnah has ever been a valuable and perpetual attraction from the beginning in Islamic law, due to different aspects. The term Sunnah, which is denoted as المسلوکہ الطریقہ) a fixed way) applied by the prophet as a legal term what HEصلى الله عليه وسلمsaid, did, and agreed to. It is however used to donate any of the above correlated meanings irrespective of whether the way of life custom and conduct are merely acceptable, commendable or detestable and unacceptable ones. Exemplifying the polarizing usage the prophetic tradition, reads: “whoever initiates (or revives) a meritorious Sunnah, within the frame work of Islam shall in addition to reward of intimating that particular Sunnah be endowed with the reward those who would follow his example until the day of resurrection without this diminishing in least from their sins.”In spite of the fact that the term Sunnah is technically used to contribute both good and bad conducts, it is commonly used in the context of good and acceptable way. However, in this study it has also been focused on the road map and guidelines for the Muslim community as a whole and for Jurists as a very essential.

Abstract

In  order  to  perceive  the  meanings  and  importance  of  the  words  of  Allah,  the Muslim scholars have done their very best to keep and understand the rich and poetic  classical  Arabic  language  in  both  of  its  forms;  prose  and  poetry  fully taking  care  of  its  original  state  and  good  condition.  Classic  Arabic  is  more important as it plays its role as a store of lingu istic tools for understanding the Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S A W) Abu Abdullah  Al-Qurtabi (d.671)  a  famous  commentator  of  the  Holy  Quran  quoted  on  many  occasions from Arab poets in his tafsir work “Al- Jame Le-Ahkam-e-Quran” to explain the meaning  of  certain  words  and  phrases  used  in  the  Holy  Quran.  This  article discusses and explains the rhetorical beauties of some of those verses along with their linguistic analysis and treatment explanation.
