  • The ʿahd of ʿalī in Al-Qāḍī Al-Nuʿmān’s Daʿāʾim Al-Islām Under Microscopic Scrutiny

    Open AccessIsmail K PoonawalaARTICLETürk Kültürü ve HACI BEKTAŞ VELİ…2022

    In his celebrated book on Ismāʿīlī law entitled Dāʿāʾim al-Islām (The Pillars of Islam), al-Qāḍī al-Nuʿmān has incorporated the full version of a document called the ʿāhd of ʿAlī. It is a long document placed around the middle of the last chapter titled kitāb al-jihād (the book on jihād) in the first volume of the Daʿāʾim which deals with the primary section of Islamic law, viz., ʿibādāt, (Acts of Devotion and Religious Observances). Although it …

  • ʿĀmir b. ʿĀmir al-Baṣrī

    Ismail K PoonawalaARTICLEArabica2019

    ʿĀmir b. ʿĀmir al-Baṣrī, according to evidence in his tāʾiyya , composed this long didactic mystical poem either in 700/1300-1301 or 731/1330-1331, while he was exiled to Sīwās in Anatolia. The object of this paper is fourfold. First, to give a brief sketch of his life gleaned from the extant Sunnī sources and determine the date of al-tāʾiyya ’s composition or completion. Second, to review critically all the three editions of his al-tāʾiyya . Thi…

  • The Chronology of al-Qāḍī l-Nuʿmān’s Works

    Ismail K PoonawalaARTICLEArabica2018

    A chronology of an author’s works is necessary for understanding his or her intellectual evolution. Al-Qāḍī l-Nuʿmān wrote numerous books on diverse disciplines, such as jurisprudence, history, traditions of the Messenger of God and the Ismāʿīlī imams, biographies of the Fāṭimid caliph-imams, refutations of the Sunnī schools of law, and allegorical interpretation of the Qurʾān and the šarīʿa . The chronology of al-Qāḍī l-Nuʿmān’s corpus, which co…

  • Anonymous Works and Their Ascription to Famous Authors

    Ismail K PoonawalaARTICLEArabica2015

    The false attribution of anonymous works to famous authors is not unique to Islamic tradition in general and to Ismāʿīlī tradition in particular. Rather it is a very old problem dating back to ancient Greeks. The students of philosophy are familiar with this question as a number of spurious books circulated in the Middle Ages known as “pseudo-Aristotelian” or “pseudo-Ammonius.” However, the scholars have succeeded to disentangle the genuine from …

    Charles J Adams, Mahmoud Ayoub et al.BOOKApproaches to the History of the…2013

    In recent years, the Qur'ān has come to the forefront of scholarly investigations in Islamic studies. However, the traditional interpretation of the book, commonly termed tafsīr, remains a vast, virtually untapped field of investigation. Many Muslims tend to ignore the material, seeing it as a storehouse of traditional restraints, and scholars frequently gloss over its importance as a historical record of the Muslim community, not appreciating th…

  • An Early Doctrinal Controversy in the Iranian School of Ismaʿili Thought and Its Implications

    Ismail K PoonawalaARTICLEJournal of Persianate Studies2012Referencias: 2

    The controversy stemmed from Nasafi’s Ketāb al-Mahsul , wherein he introduced a pre-Fārābian version of Neo-Platonism into Ismaʿili cosmology, adapting it to Shiʿi-Ismaʿili doctrines. It provoked a sharp reaction among the Ismaʿili missionaries of Khorasan. Rāzi, an accomplished theologian and Nasafi’s contemporary, wrote his Ketāb al-Eslāh mending Nasafi’s errors. This led Sejestāni to defend the views of his teacher Nasafi and rebut Rāzi’s argu…
