Zaynab’s Sermon & Its Historical Background; The Sermon of Imam Zaynu ’l-‘Ãbidīn
Author: Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi
Publisher: Al-Ma‘ãrif Publications
ISBN: 0920675379
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
The Saga of Karbala did not end with the martyrdom of Hussain, nor did his mission. His death was the initiation of a long ordeal faced by the family of Imam Hussain (a.s.). During this ordeal, it was the timeless sermons of Bibi Zainab and the fourth Imam Sajjad (a.s.) which truly pierced the hardened hearts of the people, sparked a revolution, and introduced change. The sermon of Lady Zaynab and the sermon of Imam Zaynu ’l-‘Ãbidīn complement one another: Zaynab's sermon formed the "tabarra" dimension and Imam Zaynu ’l-‘Ãbidīn's sermon formed the "tawalla" dimension: the former exposed the real identity of the oppressors, while the latter introduced the true, pure image of the Prophet's family.

A Comprehensive History of Medieval India
Author: Salma Ahmed Farooqui
Publisher: Pearson Education India
ISBN: 9788131732021
Category : India
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Presents a consolidated timeline of medieval India by taking into account the period that marked the end of ancient India, and focusing on the importance of the transitory centuries when Delhi had begun to surface as the new power center, triggering prominent trends in thought and institutions. This book analyzes the nature of social forces, complexity of causation and the interdependence of change and continuity in the light of the crucial transition from ancient to early medieval India, with the emergence of the Delhi Sultanate and the Vijayanagar-Bahmani kingdoms. Proceeding to detail the most effervescent period in Indian history - the era of the great Mughals - the text provides an insight into the ideological-philosophical basis of the times, focusing on the Sufi and Bhakti movements, and culminates with the rise of the Marathas, the advent of European companies, and the eventual establishment of the British in Bengal. keeping in mind that the history of medieval India has not moved in a linear fashion, and that much of the period saw phases of expansion and realignment of political attributes, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the much misread period of Indian history with a view that takes into account the resultant interface between the political, social, economic, religious and cultural elements and devotes to this crucial period the attention it deserves.

The author provides a first-hand description and analysis of developments after the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) under the Trump administration in 2018. It also provides important insights into the influence of external players and alliance-building in the Mediterranean and the impact on Iran’s relations with the wider world, and geopolitics of the Middle East after the normalization of ties between Israel and several Arab states under the Abraham Accords. It also provides important insights into the influence of external players in the Mediterranean and the impact on Iran’s relations with the wider world, and geopolitics of the Middle East after the normalization of ties between Israel and several Arab states under the Abraham Accords.

Reliving Karbala
Author: Syed Akbar Hyder
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190451807
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
In 680 C.E., a small band of the Prophet Muhammads family and their followers, led by his grandson, Husain, rose up in a rebellion against the ruling caliph, Yazid. The family and its supporters, hopelessly outnumbered, were massacred at Karbala, in modern-day Iraq. The story of Karbala is the cornerstone of institutionalized devotion and mourning for millions of Shii Muslims. Apart from its appeal to the Shii community, invocations of Karbala have also come to govern mystical and reformist discourses in the larger Muslim world. Indeed, Karbala even serves as the archetypal resistance and devotional symbol for many non-Muslims. Until now, though, little scholarly attention has been given to the widespread and varied employment of the Karbala event. In Reliving Karbala, Syed Akbar Hyder examines the myriad ways that the Karbala symbol has provided inspiration in South Asia, home to the worlds largest Muslim population. Rather than a unified reading of Islam, Hyder reveals multiple, sometimes conflicting, understandings of the meaning of Islamic religious symbols like Karbala. He ventures beyond traditional, scriptural interpretations to discuss the ways in which millions of very human adherents express and practice their beliefs. By using a panoramic array of sources, including musical performances, interviews, nationalist drama, and other literary forms, Hyder traces the evolution of this story from its earliest historical origins to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Today, Karbala serves as a celebration of martyrdom, a source of personal and communal identity, and even a tool for political protest and struggle. Hyder explores how issues related to gender, genre, popular culture, class, and migrancy bear on the cultivation of religious symbols. He assesses the manner in which religious language and identities are negotiated across contexts and continents. At a time when words like martyrdom, jihad, and Shiism are being used and misused for political reasons, this book provides much-needed scholarly redress. Through his multifaceted examination of this seminal event in Islamic history, Hyder offers an original, complex, and nuanced view of religious symbols.
