Representation of Hinduism in Muslim Theological Writings in Arabic
The current study aimed to demonstrate that classical Muslim theological (kalām) literature misrepresents the Hindu position on prophecy. Muslim theologians, including al-Juwaynī, al-Ghazālī, al-Shahrastānī, and others, attributed to the Barāhimah (Hindus) an outright denial of prophecy and divine revelation, claiming they consider prophetic missions rationally impossible. According to the author, this representation is untenable and unsupported …
Origin of Tasawwuf (Sufism) and Critiquing The Thesis of Transition from Zuhd
The origins of tasawwuf have long been a subject of debate in scholarly circles, with prevailing views suggesting that it emerged as a later development influenced by the concept of zuhd. This article challenges this commonly held view, arguing that such assertions are rooted in a superficial reading of Islamic sources and the earlier literature on tasawwuf. By probing deeper into the original sources and the accounts of classical Sufi masters, t…
Investigating Intrinsic Duality of Law and Spirit
The intricate relationship between the duality of outward (ẓāhir) and inward (bātin) religiosity has expressed significant attention concerning contemporary scholars. This dynamic interplay of intrinsic spiritual realization offers a significant religious identity, which cannot stand alone. Such inquiries within the Islamic tradition, are expressed through the duality of terms such as “Sharīʻa and Ṭariqa,” “law and spirit,” or “fiqh and taṣawwuf.…
Responding to Covid-19 Pandemics and Afflictions
This paper is an attempt to approach the Covid 19 pandemic from the vantage point of the Sufi tradition which is the spiritual dimension of Islam. Based on the guidance of the Qur’ān and the Prophetic examples, Sufis have contributed to the Islamic spiritual and psychological domains to the extent that their science, Tasawwuf, itself was termed by them Psychology, ʻilm al-nafs. Utilizing some of the basics of their tradition and employing analyti…
Some Early Definitions of Taṣawwuf
The purpose of this article is to present some early definitions of taṣawwuf, uttered by a Sufi who lived before the end of the first half of the third/ninth century known by his paidonymic Abū Yazīd al-Bistāmī (161AH–234AH). The importance of this discussion – which employs the historical analytical method – stems from the fact that the definitions under study reflect a highly developed Sufi experience. The paper concludes that Abū Yazīd’s defin…
Pre-Muhammadan Prophets in the Muslim Tradition and Piety
The belief in prophets before the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and in the divine books that Allah Almighty sent to humanity/books revealed to the humanity by Allah Almighty constitute two of the six/five articles of faith in Islam. The denial of any one of them would result in “apostasy” and excommunication. All textbooks on the Islamic creed as well as all other major theological sources acknowledge these beliefs which also comprise a primary componen…
Ibn Hazm’s Position on Aristotelian Logic
Ibn Ḥazm has been among the most vocal supporters of Aristotelian logic, yet enjoys strong sympathies from scholars hostile to logic. This paper is an attempt to harness the sympathies of this group of scholars for Ibn Ḥazm to prompt them to revisit their position of antagonism. In order to achieve this objective, the paper discusses two issues; first, it discusses Ibn Hazm’s essential confidence and defense of Aristotelian logic; at the same tim…
