Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great renovator of Islam and Fighter for its cause that Sayyid Ahmad Shaheed was, ranks among those select and heavenly souls who were supremely blessed with an unshakable faith in god and his promises and had an implicit belief in the life after death. God had also cleansed his heart from the defilements of falseness, vanity and vain pretensions. The world and all its wealth, power and pelf, were to him valueless like dust. When the Sayyid was staying at Calcutta before embarking the ship for Hajj, Ghulam Husain Khan made bold to say, 'The ship you are going in is an ordinary one. It would be proper if you go by the ship 'Atiur-Rahman', which has sixty cannons on board and is captained by Muhammad Husain turk who holds the charge of forty ships. If you go to Arabic by it, the people there would think more highly of you'. This suggestion made the Sayyid's blood boil in anger. He said in reply, 'What did you say, Ghulam Husain Khan! Honor is given by God and not by Man. I regard the esteem and reverence of this world as a dead dog!'. The Sayyid so detested worldly fame and honour that he had earnestly prayed God that no trace of his grave might remain after his death. As, so it happened for God did not allow his sepulchre to be known and made a place of adoration by the coming generations. Viewed in this context, the Sayyid does not require that his successors, scholars, penmen and historians should either study and evaluate the efforts he had made for the revival of Islam or trade the effects of his movements on the later revivalist and reformatory movements. But the present generation of this millat, and those to come later on, do need to make a close study of accomplishments impartially and justly so as to allocate him the place he deserves in the history of Islam. This is an obligation we owe to him, and the sooner we discharge it, the better it would be for us.

Download or read book Martyrdom in Islam written by David Cook and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times Islamic martyrdom has become associated with suicide missions conducted by extremists. However, as David Cook demonstrates, this type of martyrdom is very different from the classical definition which condemned suicide and stipulated that anyone who died a believer could be considered a martyr. Ideas about martyrdom have evolved to suit prevailing circumstances, and it is the evolution of these interpretations that Cook charts in this fascinating history. The book covers the earliest sources on martyrdom including those from the Jewish and Christian traditions, discussions about what constituted martyrdom, and differences in attitudes between Sunnis and Shi'ites. A concluding section discusses martyrdom in today's radical environment. There is no other book which considers the topic so systematically, and which draws so widely on the literary sources. This will be essential reading for students of Islamic history, and for those looking for an informed account of this controversial topic.

Book Synopsis A Muslim Conspiracy in British India? by : Chandra Mallampalli
Download or read book A Muslim Conspiracy in British India? written by Chandra Mallampalli and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the British prepared for war in Afghanistan in 1839, rumors spread of a Muslim conspiracy based in India's Deccan region. Colonial officials were convinced that itinerant preachers of jihad - whom they labelled 'Wahhabis' - were collaborating with Russian and Persian armies, and inspiring Muslim princes to revolt. Officials detained and interrogated Muslim travelers, conducted weapons inspections at princely forts, surveyed mosques, and ultimately annexed territories of the accused. Using untapped archival materials, Chandra Mallampalli describes how local intrigues, often having little to do with 'religion', manufactured belief in a global conspiracy against British rule. By skillfully narrating stories of the alleged conspirators, he shows how fears of the dreaded 'Wahhabi' sometimes prompted colonial authorities to act upon thin evidence, while also inspiring Muslim plots against princes not of their liking. At stake were not only questions about Muslim loyalty, but also the very ideals of a liberal empire.
Book Synopsis The Mughals and the Sufis by : Muzaffar Alam
Download or read book The Mughals and the Sufis written by Muzaffar Alam and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a critical study of a large number of contemporary Persian texts, court chronicles, epistolary collections, and biographies of sufi mystics, The Mughals and the Sufis examines the complexities in the relationship between Mughal political culture and the two dominant strains of Islam's Sufi traditions in South Asia: one centered around orthodoxy, the other focusing on a more accommodating and mystical spirituality. Muzaffar Alam analyses the interplay of these elements, their negotiation and struggle for resolution via conflict and coordination, and their longer-term outcomes as the empire followed its own political and cultural trajectory as it shifted from the more liberal outlook of Emperor Akbar "The Great" (r. 1556–1605) to the more rigid attitudes of his great-grandson, Aurangzeb 'Alamgir (r. 1658–1701). Alam brings to light many new and underutilized sources relevant to the religious and cultural history of the Mughals and reinterprets well-known sources from a new perspective to provide one of the most detailed and nuanced portraits of Indian Islam under the Mughal Empire available today.

Book Synopsis The Bruce B. Lawrence Reader by : Bruce B. Lawrence
Download or read book The Bruce B. Lawrence Reader written by Bruce B. Lawrence and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of his career, Bruce B. Lawrence has explored the central elements of Islamicate civilization and Muslim networks. This reader assembles more than two dozen of Lawrence's key writings, among them analyses of premodern and modern Islamic discourses, practices, and institutions and methodological reflections on the contextual study of religion. Six methodologies serve as the organizing rubric: theorizing Islam, revaluing Muslim comparativists, translating Sufism, deconstructing religious modernity, networking Muslims, and reflecting on the Divine. Throughout, Lawrence attributes the resilience of Islam to its cosmopolitan character and Muslims' engagement in cross-cultural dialogue. Several essays also address the central role of institutional Sufism in various phases and domains of Islamic history. The volume concludes with Lawrence's reflections on Islam's spiritual and aesthetic resources in the context of global comity. Modeling what it means to study Islam beyond political and disciplinary borders as well as a commitment to linking empathetic imagination with critical reflection, this reader presents the broad arc of Lawrence's prescient contributions to the study of Islam.
Book Synopsis Popular Literature and Pre-Modern Societies In South Asia: by : Surinder Singh
Download or read book Popular Literature and Pre-Modern Societies In South Asia: written by Surinder Singh and published by Pearson Education India. This book was released on 2008 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional historiography in South Asia relies on official documentation treating the elite as central players in the story of human past. The role of marginalized groups in the making of South Asian history is relegated to the background. Popular Literature and Pre-Modern Societies in South Asia charts a continuous historiographical tension between the archive-centric constructions and marginalized voices of the non-elite. Vernacular literature, fables, folklore, myths, and legends drawn from the rich cultural and linguistic diversity of South Asia are brought together to reconstruct an alternative craft of history writing. Spanning large swaths of pre-modern history and exploring material from diverse regions of the subcontinent, this volume speaks of people, individuals, cultures, and traditions sidelined in modern history. The subjects of this volume retrieve the non-maintstream descriptions/memories of peoples’ past, mapping the contest between the hegemonic and counter-hegemonic forces persisting actively in the domains of state, society, patriarchy, religion, and culture.

Book Synopsis The Mosques of Colonial South Asia by : Sana Haroon
Download or read book The Mosques of Colonial South Asia written by Sana Haroon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of legal battles starting in 1882, South Asian Muslims made up of modernists, traditionalists, reformists, Shias and Sunnis attempted to modify the laws relating to their places of worship. Their efforts failed as the ideals they presented flew in the face of colonial secularism. This book looks at the legal history of Muslim endowments and the intellectual and social history of sectarian identities, demonstrating how these topics are interconnected in ways that affected the everyday lives of mosque congregants across North India. Through the use of legal records, archives and multiple case studies Sana Haroon ties a series of narrative threads stretching across multiple regions in Colonial South Asia.
