Book Description
Ahadeeth are sayings which are attributed to Muhammad (PBUH), the last messenger of Allah. The Status of Hadeeth in Islam is a book which traces the origin, history and background of these Ahadeeth and thus their true position in Islam. The Hadeeth literature has influenced Islamic scholars and ordinary Muslims throughout history since their first appearance on the scene primarily during the Abbasid Dynasty around 750 A.D. It is a historically established fact that Muhammed the last messenger of Allah did not leave any other book or compilation apart from the Quran. Within the Hadeeth literature itself there are sayings attributed to the messenger in which he cautioned, do not write anything from me other than the Quran. The Quran bears testimony to the fact that it was compiled by the messenger under his own direction. The Quran declares itself to be a complete book which gives the Permanent Values on the basis of which a system of life called Deen can be established, and which presents an alternative to all other systems which man has tried so far. It is also declared protected by Allah. The last messenger of Allah followed the Quran and in a short period of time with the help of his companions, established Deen as a system of life catering for the physical needs as well as creating an environment for human self-development. Any thorough unbiased study of the Quran will lead to the conclusion that the messenger never felt the need for any other guidance apart from the Quran - this aspect is argued in detail in the book.

Hadith
Author: Jonathan A.C. Brown
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1786073080
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Contrary to popular opinion, the bulk of Islamic law does not come from the Quran but from hadith, first-hand reports of the Prophet Muhammad’s words and deeds, passed from generation to generation. However, with varying accounts often only committed to paper a century after the death of Muhammad, Islamic scholars, past and present, have been faced with complex questions of historical authenticity. In this wide-ranging introduction, Jonathan A. C. Brown explores the collection and criticism of hadith, and the controversy surrounding its role in modern Islam. This edition, revised and updated with additional case studies and attention to the very latest scholarship, also features a new chapter on how hadiths have been used politically, both historically and in the Arab Spring and its aftermath. Informative and accessible, it is perfectly suited to students, scholars and general readers interested in this critical element of Islam.

Authentication of Hadith
Author: Israr Ahmad Khan
Publisher: IIIT
ISBN: 1565645111
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
In today’s complex and volatile world the consequences of relying on fraudulent and counterfeit Hadith to legitimize extremist behavior, issue violent fatwas, and justify blatant abuse, particularly of women, is not only far too easy but in fact dangerous. Israr Khan addresses the sensitive topic of Hadith authentication, focusing on the criteria adopted by classical scholars to maintain that concentration on the continuity and accuracy of the chain of narrators, rather than the textual content of Hadith, has led to particular Hadith being included which either contradict other Hadith directly, project the Prophet (SAAS) in an uncharacteristic light, or do not reflect and/or conflict with the teachings of the Qur’an. The study traces in careful detail the historical development of the oral and written traditions, as well as the many targeted attempts at fabrication that took place, critiquing in methodical detail certain Hadith which have come to be widely accepted as “authentic.” The prominent collections we have today, were made possible by the development of the science of Hadith criticism, and Muslim scholars deserve deep appreciation for their painstaking work, as well as their invaluable contribution towards preserving the Hadith literature to the best of their ability. However, insists the author, the process is ongoing, and the closed door policy which currently surrounds Hadith authentication needs to be carefully reexamined.

The Book of the Jihad of 'Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106)
Author: Niall Christie
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317040112
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
In 1105, six years after the first crusaders from Europe conquered Jerusalem, a Damascene Muslim jurisprudent named ’Ali ibn Tahir al-Sulami (d. 1106) publicly dictated an extended call to the military jihad (holy war) against the European invaders. Entitled Kitab al-Jihad (The Book of the Jihad), al-Sulami’s work both summoned his Muslim brethren to the jihad and instructed them in the manner in which it ought to be conducted, covering topics as diverse as who should fight and be fought, treatment of prisoners and plunder, and the need for participants to fight their own inner sinfulness before turning their efforts against the enemy. Al-Sulami’s text is vital for a complete understanding of the Muslim reaction to the crusades, providing the reader with the first contemporary record of Muslim preaching against the crusaders. However, until recently only a small part of the text has been studied by modern scholars, as it has remained for the most part an unedited manuscript. In this book Niall Christie provides a complete edition and the first full English translation of the extant sections (parts 2, 8, 9 and 12) of the manuscript of al-Sulami’s work, making it fully available to modern readers for the first time. These are accompanied by an introductory study exploring the techniques that the author uses to motivate his audience, the precedents that influenced his work, and possible directions for future study of the text. In addition, an appendix provides translations of jihad sermons by Ibn Nubata al-Fariqi (d. 985), a preacher from Asia Minor whose rhetorical style was highly influential in the development of al-Sulami’s work.

No Truth Without Beauty
Author: Leena El-Ali
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030835820
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
In this comprehensive open access book, written for readers from any or no religious background, Leena El-Ali does something remarkable. Never before has anyone taken on every last claim relating to Islam and women and countered it not just with Qur’anic evidence to the contrary, but with easy-to-use tools available to all. How can a woman’s testimony be worth half of a man’s? How can men divorce their wives unilaterally by uttering three words? And what’s with the obsession with virgins in Paradise? Find the chapter on any of the seventeen topics in this book, and you will quickly learn a) where the myth came from and b) how to bust it. The methodology pursued is simple. First, the Qur’an is given priority over all other literary or “scriptural” sources. Second, the meaning of its verses in the original Arabic is highlighted, in contrast to English translations and/or widespread misunderstanding or misinterpretation.

Ḥadīth Literature
Author: Muhammad Zubair Siddiqi
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Hadith
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The hadith, the sayings attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, form a sacred literature which for the Muslims ranks second in importance only to the Qur'an itself. As a source of law, ethics and doctrine, the vast corpus of hadith continue to exercise decisive influence. Islamic scholarship has hence devoted immense efforts to gathering and classifying the hadith, and ensuring their authenticity. This book is the only introduction in English which presents all the aspects of the subject. It explains the origin of the literature, the evolution of the isnad system, the troubled relationship between scholars and the state, the problem of falsification, and the gradual development of a systematic approach to the material. This edition is a fully revised and updated version of the original, which was first published in 1961 to considerable scholarly acclaim. Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi was Professor of Islamic Culture in the University of Calcutta.
