Al, Sarhan Saud Saleh. "Early Muslim traditionalism : a critical study of the works and political theology of Ahmad Ibn Hanbal." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10036/3374.
Full textAbstract:
The political theology of AÎmad Ibn Íanbal (d. 241/855( is analysed through comprehensive examination of the authenticity of theological and juridical books attributed to him. The eponym of the ÍanbalÐ school (madhhab) of law and theology, AÎmad’s importance lies in his teaching as a jurisprudent and his practices as a zÁhid (renunciant), which attracted many students to his circle. However, he is best known for his reputation as a defender of correct belief, and for firmly resisting the doctrine of three ÝAbbÁsid caliphs that the QurÞÁn was created, although he was imprisoned and beaten during the Inquisition known as al-MiÎnah (between 218/833 and c. 232/847). As a result of AÎmad’s importance, a variety of different opinions and epistles were ascribed to him. Theologically, the most important among these are the Six Creeds and al-Radd ÝalÁ al-ZanÁdiqah wa-al-JahmÐyah which is a polemical epistle. In jurisprudence there were response collections from AÎmad’s students called al-MasÁÞil, eight of which are still extant, either partly or completely. These works are examined in this thesis. AÎmad’s theo-political ideas are critical to understanding the political thought of Sunnism in general, and the study analyses his doctrines on the importance of the JamÁÝah (Community), ÓÁÝah (Obedience) and al-Amr bi-al-maÝrÙf wa-al-nahy Ýan al-munkar (commanding right and forbidding wrong). AÎmad was a quietist thinker, but the main purpose of his quietism was in fact to save the unity of the Muslim community from internal fighting and protect the common people who always lacked security and suffered from threats of looting of their shops and houses. Though a quietist, AÎmad was not in favour of the rulers and avoided all kinds of connections to them, including not accepting their gifts or working with them. He became angry with his family when they accepted the caliph’s money.

al-Matroudi, Abdul Hakim I. "The role of Ibn Taymiyyah in the Hanbali School of Law." Thesis, University of Leeds, 1999. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/590/.
Full textAbstract:
The study of Ibn Taymiyyah's life and knowledge has attracted the attention of researchers. Yet, the role of this scholar in the klanbali school of law has not been adequately researched and examined. Accordingly, this thesis seeks to study in depth some aspects of this role. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter is divided into two sections: the first section studies and discusses several points related to Ibn klanbal after whom the klanbali school was named and especially the question of whether he can be considered as a jurist or just a traditionist (muhaddith). The second section is devoted to the study of certain aspects of Ibn Taymiyyah, focusing on the most important of his works in the field of jurisprudence and its general principles. The second chapter is a comparison between the basic sources of law of both Abmad and Ibn Taymiyyah, a conclusion of which helps in deciding the rank of the latter's status in knowledge. The third and fourth chapters deal with Ibn Taymiyyah's role in clarifying and correcting certain issues in the principles of the tianbali school of Law, and ljanbali jurisprudence respectively. The role of this scholar in influencing Hanbali jurists is the subject of the fifth chapter, where a detailed study and analysis of books of tabaqat and tarajum, as well as treatises compiled by the scholars under study is carried out. The sixth chapter discusses and studies Ibn Taymiyyah's position towards the triple divorce as a case study of the problematical fatawa of Ibn Taymiyyah which have been confronted with great opposition by Hanbali scholars and surprisingly has left an influence on the school's position regarding this legal issue. Although the subject of this thesis is a study of the role of a scholar who lived in the seventh-eighth/thirteenth-fourteenth centuries on the I-Janbali school of law, this is, however, a subject of interest to today's scholars and the Muslim public, this being due to the fact that Ibn Taymiyyah is one of the scholars who has greatly influenced the klanbali school of law which is an existing school of law in various parts of the Islamic world. In addition, the various corrections and clarifications made by Ibn Taymiyyah to the Hanbali school of law in both its jurisprudence and general principles, may be applied to other schools of law, within which similar problems can be found.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to present an edition of a unique and important manuscript of Hanbali jurisprudence entitled 'Al-Munawwar fi Rajih al-Muharrar' written by Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Adami (d.c.749AH/AD1329) and which has not yet been studied despite later Hanbali scholars' heavy reliance on it in their work. This edition is supplemented by an introduction designed to make the edited text more accessible. This commentary discusses the manuscript, the author and his sources. A broad discussion of Hanbali legal terminology and a comparison of Al-Muharrar with other important works of jurisprudence provides a better understanding of the text, which is presented with explanatory footnotes in the final section of the thesis. In the process of editing the manuscript every effort was made to do as accurate an edition of the work as possible, preserving the originality of the work whilst making it accessible to the modem reader. The study consists of five parts which are divided into a number of chapters. Part One: This explores the importance of Al-Munawwar, provides a biography of Al-Adami, describes the framework of Al-Munawwar, ascribes it to its author and discusses the plague of 749/1329. Part Two: This describes the sources of Al-Munawwar with particular reference to Al-Majd's Al-Muharrar of which it is an abridgement. I also discuss the methodology and terminology adopted by both Al-Adami and Al-Majd. Part Three: This gives definitions of the major legal terms used in Hanbali jurisprudence, including a history of how this terminology has been understood by different generations. Part Four: This part focuses on the methodology of editing the manuscript. Part Five: The edited and authenticated text is presented with an annotated commentary.

Full textAbstract:
A valuable manuscript written by Imam Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Salim Al- Saffärini Al-Hanbali (1114-1188 AH / 1702-1774 CE). There are two manuscripts available at Princeton University library in the United States of America and copies at Jum'ah Al-Mäjid Center for Culture and Heritage in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Al-Safrarini explained " `Umdat Al Ahkäm" by Al-Häfiz Al-Jamma'ili. The latter, Al- Jamma'Ili collected Hadith jurisprudence from , Sahib Al-Bukhäri and Sahib Muslim. Al-Safrarini used both linguistic and jurisprudence explanations in addition to companions' biographies who narrated Hadith. I only edited Sales Chapter "Kitdb Al- Buyü "' form "Kashf Al-Lithäm". This research is divided into two parts: Study and Edition. The study contains three chapters. In the first chapter I introduce A1-Jammd'ili as follows: Name and Origins, Birth, Early Life and the Search for Knowledge, His Sheikhs, His Students, His Appreciation by Other Scholars, Academic Works, Qualities and Ethics, His Ordeal and His Death. The second chapter specifically introduces Al-Saffärini as follows: Author's Era, Name and Origins, Birth, Early Life and the Search for Knowledge, His Sheikhs, His Students, His Appreciation by Other Scholars, Academic Works, Qualities and Ethics and His Death. The third chapter contains a study of "Kashf A1- Litham" as follows: book title and its attribution to the author, description of the two manuscripts of the book, the book's significance, author's approach, author's sources, criticism of the book and editional methods. The edition aspect of the work was accurately completed by using an objective academic method to organise the text, supply punctuation marks, number pages, rewrite the text in accordance with modem rules of dictation, locate sürahs and verses, refer Hadiths to their sources, explain vague vocabulary, conform Qur'dnic texts to `Uthmani scripture, define idioms, verify jurisprudence issues, correct grammatical mistakes and describe eminent persons and places. The edition is concluded with general technical indexes

Alshamrani, Saad A. "An anlaysis of the origins, extent, and nature of the legal concept of prescription in civil matters under Saudi Arabian Hanbali law with reference to the effects of Sharia and positive law." Thesis, Brunel University, 2014. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/13801.
Full textAbstract:
In Islamic Sharia law, prescription has been more commonly referred to as murūr al-zamān [the lapse of time]. It has been claimed that the abstract principle of the lapse of time only has the effect of barring a claim and that is not capable of creating and extinguishing the right itself. In the context of Islamic law, this concept of prescription is often ascribed only to the Hanafi and Maliki schools of Sharia law, and it has been claimed that such principle has not been recognized by the Hanbali School. Based on that, my reading shows that, under Saudi jurisdiction (which is principally based on uncodified Hanbali Sharia law), this hypothesis is a key problem as in practice there are many secondary Saudi laws in place applying prescription rules to bar civil actions. Thus, by arguing that such principle has not been recognized by Sharia law as applied in Saudi Arabia, the legality of such provisions would be in question, given the fact that all Saudi enacted laws must conform with Islamic law. Moreover, my analysis argues that in studies of Saudi Hanbali law, prescription has neither been discussed widely nor given serious independent consideration. In the context of Saudi and Hanbali law, issues of prescription have not only been marginalized and minimized, but also inaccuracies and mis-readings are often found in related academic literature. Drawing on findings across various disciplines, including studies of classical and modern Islamic law, as well as legal studies on Saudi and Arab laws, this study presents new readings of the issues of the existence and origins of the legal concept of civil prescription from the perspectives of the Saudi-Hanbali School of law. Moreover, it presents the first comprehensive survey of the extent of implementation of the rules of prescription in the Saudi civil regulations over the last eight decades. Finally, from both theory and practice aspects, the thesis attempts to conclude with a critical analysis of the single ‘negative’ perspective of prescription in both Islamic and Saudi law.

Cette recherche se propose de faire connaitre la personnalite de l'imam sulayman at-tufi, savant et juriste hanbalite de l'epoque des mamluks bahrites, dont l'histoire rapporte les guerres, les conflits et les conditions sociales et economiques degradees. Les biographes d'at-tufi le depeignent comme un esprit brillant, ouvert et independant, qui a etudie tous les rites islamiques, accede a l'igtihad et repudie l'imitation, pourtant omnipresente a son epoque. L'oeuvre considerable qu'il a laissee, porte, essentiellement, sur le figh (science de la loir religieuse) et ses usul (fondements), sur le tafsir (l'exegese coranique) et 'ilm al-kalam (theologie dogmatique). En outre, elle englobe les sciences de la langue arabe, comme la grammaire et la rhetorique et revele un poete doue. At-tufi fut accuse de 'si'isme et connut une dure epreuve qui le marqua profondement, toput en contribuant a jeter un voile d'oubli sur sa personne et son oeuvre. Ainsi, l'un des buts de notre travail consiste, autant que se peut, a lever ce voile et a tenter de rehabiliter un savant qui merite, a notre avis, de figurer parmi les plus juristes sunnites et, notamment, hanbalitesTHE RESEARCH SHALL MAKE A NAME FOR THE PERSONALITY OF THE IMAM SULAYMAN AT-TUFI, A HANBALITE SCIENTIST AND JURIST OF THE ERA OF THE MAMLUKS BAHRITES WHOSE HISTORY TELLS OF THE WARS, THE CONFLICTS AND THE DEBASED SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. THE BIOGRAPHERS OF AT-TUFI DEPICT HIM AS HAVING A BRILLIANT OPEN-MINDED AND INDEPENDANT MIND WHO HAS STUDIED ALL THE ISLAMIC RITUALS, ATTAINED THE IGTIHAD AND RENOUNCED THE IMITATION OMNIPRESENT AT THAT TIME THOUGH THE CONSIDERABLE WORK HE LEFT WAS ESSENTIALLY ON THE FIGH (SCIENCE OF THE RELIGIOUS LAW) AND ITS USULS (FOUNDATIONS), ON THE TAFSIR (THE CORANIC EXEGERIS) AND " ILM AL-KALAM" (DOGMATIC THEOLOGIC). HOWEVER, IT INCLUDES THE Science OF THE ARABIC LANGUAGE, LIKE GRAMMAR AND RHETORIC AND REVEALS A BRIGHT POET. AT-TUFI WAS ACCUSED OF SI'ISM AND SUFFERED GREAT HARDSHIPS WHICH DEAPLY MARKED HIM, AT THE SAME TIME AS CONTRIBUTING TO DRAWING A VEIL OF OBLIVION ON HIS FIGURE AND HIS WORK. THEREFORE, ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF OUR WORK CONSISTS, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, IN LIFTING THIS WEIL AND TRYING TO RESTORE A SCIENTIST WHO DESERVES, IN OUR OPINION, TO APPEAR AMONG THE GREATEST SUNNITES JURISTS AND PARTICULARY HANBALITES

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the life and scholarship of a French Dominican friar, Serge de Beaurecueil (1917 - 2005). His life time investigation of the mystical dimensions of Islam centered around the life and corpus attributed to the 11th century Hanbalī Sūfī shaykh‘Abdullāh Ansārī of Herāt (1006 - 1089). The thrust of our argument is that this erudite and mystical conversation with the work of the Pīr of Herāt is a methodology and a theology of dialogue with the religious other. This mystical and prophetic journey combines the Ashramic spirituality of Jules Monchanin and Henry Le Saux in India, a masterdisciple relations, the ethical demands of interfaith dialogue, and finally testifies to the hidden and abiding presence of God among the downtrodden of Kabul. Also, de Beaurecueil’s life ascertains the rich and varied heritage of Dominican spirituality and lays bare the conundrums of interfaith encounter. The introduction sets the stage for the friar’s mystical and prophetic life among Muslims. The first two chapters are biographical. They scrutinize the formation period and professional life of both de Beaurecueil and AnSārī. The following two chapters describe de Beaurecueil intellectual and spiritual growth. His erudition on the corpus of AnSārī and his praxis mystica fit perfectly the Dominican tradition of search for Truth (Veritas) and contemplata aliis tradere. The last chapter attempts to couch in a philosophical language a mystical encounter. Even though de Beaurecueil’s praxis mystica is both attractive and intimidating, his life is a bold testimony to the demanding complexities and rich opportunities of Christian-Muslim mystical encounter.

Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse porte sur l’étude des Aḥkām al-sulṭāniyya (statuts gouvernementaux) du théologien et juriste hanbalite, Abū Yaʿlā. Il s’agit du premier traité de droit public, dans l’histoire de la pensée politique hanbalite. Dans un premier temps, la thèse se concentre sur les cadres politico-religieux bagdadiens au Ve/XIe siècle : l’affaiblissement de l’institution califale, le rapport d’Abū Yaʿlā avec le vizir et les mécènes hanbalites, la résurgence de l’islam sunnite traditionaliste et l’évolution du hanbalisme politique bagdadien. Dans un deuxième temps, la thèse fait porter son analyse sur le hanbalisme contextuel d’Abū Yaʿlā à travers ses œuvres. Enfin, pour saisir le sens et la portée des Aḥkām al-sulṭāniyya d’Abū Yaʿlā, la présente étude tente d’aborder et d’inscrire la théorie politique de celui-ci au sein l’école hanbalite et en particulier avec celle d’Ibn Taymiyya, ensuite de la confronter avec celle du légiste chafiite, al-Māwardī, à travers son traité de droit public, les Aḥkām al-sulṭāniyyaThis thesis deals with the study about the Aḥkām al-sulṭāniyya (Ordinances Government) of the Hanbalite theologian, Abū Yaʿlā. This important treaty can be considered indeed as the first treaty of public law in the history of Hanbalite political thought. In the first part, the thesis focuses upon the religious and political frame in the Bagdadian circles of the Vth/XIth century : the weakening of the caliphate institution, the relationship between Abū Yaʿlā and his vizir and patrons of the Hanbalites court, the resurgence of the traditionalist Sunnī islam and the typical evolution of the policy of Hanbalism in Bagdad. In the second part, this study develops a contextual analysis of Hanbalism according to Abū Yaʿlā’s works. In the end, for understanding the meaning and the scope of the Aḥkām al-sulṭāniyya, this study intends first of all to place Abū Yaʿlā’s political theory within political Hanbalite doctrine especially with Ibn Taymiyya, and then we compare it to al-Māwardī’s Aḥkām al-sulṭāniyya

Full textAbstract:
Tout en retraçant la genèse de la réflexion sur les fondements du droit (uṣūl al-fiqh) dans le Ḥanbalisme, les différentes parties de la thèse analysent les étapes de la théorisation du principe de l’intérêt général (Maṣlaḥa) au sein de cette école juridique, et la profondeur intellectuelle des auteurs emblématiques de cette doctrine entre les XIe et XIVe siècles (al-Farrā’, Ibn ‛Aqīl, Ibn Qudāma, Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn al-Qayyim al-Ǧawziyya et al-Ṭūfī). Le travail dévoile les tensions qui animent leurs textes et montre comment se sont forgées au sein de l’école des distinctions fondamentales entre le droit religieux et les rites (‘ibādāt) d’un côté, et les transactions sociales, économique et politiques (mu‛āmalāt) d’un autre côté. La thèse contribue ainsi à nuancer fortement l’a priori négatif qui est cultivé à propos de cette école, réputée rigoriste et récupérée aujourd’hui par des courants ultra-orthodoxes comme le salafisme. Il montre notamment comment s’est développé au fil des étapes de sa fondation et dans le sillage des discussions avec ses adversaires doctrinaux, de nombreuses idées originales sur les normes juridiques, ouvrant ainsi la voie à des formes de sécularité au niveau de la fondation des règles sociales et politiques. Les différentes analyses soulignent également l’effort de ces juristes pour réconcilier les exigences du réel et de la contingence avec l’idéal moral qui découle directement de leur vision théologique, et qui accorde une place centrale à l’intérêt général et à la justiceBy recounting origins of thinking on the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (uṣūl al-fiqh) in Ḥanbalism, this thesis aims at analyzing successive steps which led iconic authors between the eleventh and the fourteenth century – such as al-Farrā’, Ibn ‛Aqīl, Ibn Qudāma, Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn al-Qayyim al-Ǧawziyya and al-Ṭūfī – to place the principle of general interest within their theory and demonstrate their intellectual depth. This work reveals the tension among the ḥanbali texts between, on the one hand, religious law and rules of worship, and, on the other hand, social, economic and political transactions. This leads us to reconsider negative preconceptions about this school, often categorized as rigorist and at the roots of which emerged current ultra-orthodox groups such as Salafists. We then propose to explain how controversies with rival doctrines enabled new original ideas on legal norms to arise. It paved the way for some forms of secularization concerning foundations of social or political rules. Our analyses also suggest that jurists attempts to reconciliate reality requirements with the contingency of a moral ideal. This latter ensues directly from their theological viewpoint which attribute a determining role to general interest and justice

Full textAbstract:
Thesis Abstract This thesis analyses the fiction of the twentieth-century Irish-American author Maeve Brennan through the lens of shame. All of Brennan's published writing has been included: her short stories and magazine contributions collected in The Long Winded Lady, The Springs of Affection, and The Rose Garden, as well as her novella The Visitor. Shame has recently been embraced in academia as a subject of research, as well as an interpretative key for literary analysis. The thesis examines shame in order to map out social and psychological experience of belonging, and the lack thereof, in Brennan's fiction, as both the threat and the reality of isolation, stemming from social rejection, occur as its prominent themes. These elements are also shown as connected to the issues of self-determination and identity, as Brennan's characters partly embrace and partly oppose social normativity. As some of their individual needs, especially those of women, are add odds with social expectations, they are effectively choosing between social inclusion on the one hand, and embracing their personal difference. As transgressions of social norms come with varying degrees of shame, the emotion is omnipresent in the highly regulated, and surveilled, environments that Brennan depicts. As the affect itself causes further...

The idea of “soft power” was originally conceptualized and phrased by Joseph S. Nye Jr., and has been evolving over the last twenty years. Although the epistemology and hermeneutics of the concept are now multifarious, the soft power paradigm can be employed as an interpretive tool for China’s “peaceful development.” However, Beijing and Ney’s understanding of soft power are different because China heterodoxically re-interprets this concept by putting the emphasis on material resources and factors. Notably, this materialist connotation is directly related to the outside world, a world that Beijing is trying to come to terms and interface with. As a declension of this cultural engagement elan, China is actively promoting its soft power narrative through a network of Confucius Institutes which it has spun globally. The grand strategic raison d''etre of the establishment of the Institutes is the civil-society level propagation of Chinese "cultural soft power" for the sake of projecting a new international image of the Asian giant. In fact, since the Chinese economy began to flourish under Deng Xiaoping''s reform and opening-up policy, China has been facing numerous domestic and external challenges that it hopes to overcome also through cultural policies. For this reason, just like his predecessors Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, Xi Jinping is committed to foster international cultural exchanges and strengthen the global influence of Chinese weltanschauung. In particular, Beijing is actively promoting a holistic understanding of the tenets of the Chinese cultural tradition by “inculturating” it into diverse national contexts. This thesis investigates the synergy between the idea of “peaceful development” and the Chinese peculiar understanding of soft power, and examines the ways and means through which China''s cultural soft power goals are pursued. To this aim, this research utilizes diverse theoretical and methodological approaches: from the historical-empirical method to literature analysis, from political theory to quantitative analysis. Such an integrated approach is necessary to systematically study China’s “cultural going out” policy as it is epitomized by the case of the Hanban Confucius Institute. Thus, even though this work focuses on a case-study, it should not be considered an exercise in reductivism. On the contrary, the analysis uses the particular to explain the general.
