Islamic events reminder system via short message service notifications alert

For persons working in the field of modern technology, the lack of awareness about Islamic events remains a significant obstacle. One of the numerous reasons why the event gets forgotten on its designated date. This prompted the creation of an automatic reminder system with mobile technology integration. This paper has the purpose of assisting people in remembering their daily Islamic events, as well as serving as a model for informing people of Islamic occasions via short message service (SMS) notifications. As a result, the main goal is to develop an Islamic model that uses SMS to inform people. To develop a free system based on the concept of recalling the most significant events in Muslim history in order to keep people informed. (Microsoft Visual Studio.net and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express) as our main database. The text message reminder system is made up of two parts: an SMS application for automatic text messaging and a web-based application for customer registration and automatic reminder scheduling. The automated method delivered 100% of the SMS messages to the participants throughout the pilot testing. Finally, the system displayed a notice indicating that the text messages were successfully despatched, and the application was confirmed to be functional.

Governors and Provincial Elites in Umayyad Egypt

This article focuses on the confrontation that broke out sometime in 709 or 710 CE between a hundred men led by members of the Banū Fahm and the Umayyad governor of Egypt, Qurra b. Sharīk. After presenting the case in question, the article explains who participated in the conflict, what their motives and expectations were, and how the failure of these expectations resulted in the confrontation with the governor and his troops. I suggest that although early Muslim historians depicted the conflict in religious terms, it was also a result of the specific power dynamics between the governor and provincial Arab elites and of competition over the material and social privileges of elite families in Egypt.

Urdu Ethics Literature and the Diversity of Muslim Thought in Colonial India

Abstract This essay discusses Urdu-language akhlaq (ethics) texts produced and circulated in late-colonial India (1858–1947), situating them both within a classical genre of Islamic ethics and in the context of Indian vernacular print culture. It focuses on three akhlaq texts published between the 1870s and 1930s to consider contemporary Muslim ethical concerns and schema, arguing that the genre points to a widespread, everyday, and unexceptional Muslim subjectivity that placed a high value on ethical striving. The essay offers new perspectives on the history of Muslims in late-colonial India by highlighting a non-institutional, diffuse, and capacious intellectual formation whose ideas were disseminated through print in a commercial market. It also expands existing notions of Muslim authority from individuals—such as the ulama (Muslim clerical class)—and institutions—such as madrasas (religious schools and seminaries)—to include literary genres themselves. Finally, the article broadens the range of Muslim subject-positions represented in scholarship on Islam in colonial India.

Turkish Mosque Archives in Industrial Towns in Southern Germany: An Ethnographic Survey

Abstract Starting from the thesis that European mosque archives offer important sources for the history of Muslims and Islam in Europe, this contribution presents results of a pilot survey into the whereabouts of mosque archives in Germany. Focusing on five small towns in industrial zones where predominantly Turkish contract workers have settled, we asked Turkish mosque administrators, chairmen and imams how they had handled papers in the past, whether and where they had stored folders that were not in use anymore, and what kind of documents their collections contained. What we found were various archival records in a wide and unexpected range of places. We also learned that our questions prompted very different reactions. Umbrella organisations understood their archives as tools for preserving the written sources documenting their origins, whereas local administrators tended to see them as records of their personal memories. Our conclusion is that the time is ripe for the development of knowledge about mosque archives in Germany and, with regard to the founding generation, this is of crucial importance.

Overviewing a Century. The Lahore-Ahmadiyya Mosque Archive in Berlin

Abstract In 1923, Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat ve Islam with headquarters in Lahore (hereafter: Lahore-Ahmadiyya) sent the pedagogue Maulvi Sadr-ud-Din to Berlin commissioned to erect a mosque, create a mission and enter in conversation with the Europeans. The European mission was a comprehensive answer to the challenge that the British Empire presented to Muslims. In their hometown, Lahore, Lahore-Ahmadiyya aimed at comparing religions in order to push back British missionaries and disprove Christian claims to superiority. Adapting to the German setting, which in the years to come would swiftly move from democratic to nationalistic politics, the mission in Berlin created many variations on that theme. Today, the mosque registry, holding records of almost 100 years of administration, bears witness to the efforts of the missionaries to explain to various German audiences their view of Islam. An important source for Muslim history in Germany, the archive highlights such different research subjects as Muslim modernity at work, the language of secular Islam, Indian-German approximations, conversion, and mixed marriage. In 2018, it was donated to the National Archive in Berlin, where the approximately 70,000 documents and 5,000 photographs were made available for research. This contribution offers an analysis of the contents.

Devotion, Anti-Imperialism, and the Search for the Stories of Black Muslims in Twentieth-Century Guyana

The history of Black Muslims in Guyana is a topic not yet studied in much depth. Part of the reason for this gap in the historical record is the absence of materials in conventional archives and newspapers. Discussions of Muslims in Guyana also often centre on the stories of South Asian indentured migrants who formed the majority of the Muslim Guyanese population in the twentieth century. Yet, the practice of Islam developed amongst Black-Guyanese Muslims in relation to the Pan-Africanist movements of the 1940s that aligned anti-imperialism and Black identity with adoptions of Islam, and is therefore a key milestone in the Black-Muslim-Guyanese story. The writings of Malik Shabazz, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood of Guyana, are particularly helpful in understanding the development of Islam amongst Black Guyanese because they reveal an anti-imperial religious pedagogy imbedded in a process of asserting a Black Muslim identity. While this research note is by no means exhaustive of the experiences, identities, and stories of Black Muslims in twentieth-century Guyana, it sheds some light on existing historical silences and provides a starting point for a topic that requires much more detailed study.

Deductive fundamentalist opinions in Al-Bukhari’s narratives and his jurisprudential inferences

The method of fatwa "advisory opinion" was prevalent in accordance with the phenomena of texts after the departure of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the nation’s need for governance. It has the mandated, so the methods of inference, jurisprudential and intellectual, expanded, and the history of Muslims witnessed a diversity in the schools of jurisprudence to clarify the rulings. Innovative and modern scholars and jurists have been emerged, most notably Al-Bukhari, and his scientific influence in his time led to an active scientific movement later in the field of classification, authorship, explanation and commentary, especially on Sahih Al-Bukhari. In his manner, or criticizing him, or in explaining and commenting on him, and from that criticism of him by Imam Muslim, he proceeded on his way in singling out the authentic hadiths that are attributed without others, so he answered the call of his Lord and left behind him a heritage and various works in thought, jurisprudence, assets and others.

Sociocultural aspect of "unifying" and "traditional" value systems in the context of globalization.

The article analyzes the conflict between global and local socio-cultural systems on the example of the confrontation between fundamentalism and traditionalism in Islam. Religious fundamentalism in the form of Islamism inevitably accompanies the processes of globalization (A. I. Fursov, I. V. Fedyai, A. A. Kuznetsov). The conceptual interpretations of Islamic fundamentalism are investigated as a reaction to the pressure of global forces, when radicalism is considered as a response to Western neoliberalism (S. A. Batchikov), and as a form of modernization of Islamic fundamentalism capable of opposing traditional structures. Based on these interpretations, the conflict between fundamentalism and traditionalism in Islam is analyzed. Questions are raised about whether Islamism is a tool of "globalizers" and a form of mobilization of Muslims to destroy traditional systems, or fundamentalism should be understood as a means of preserving Muslim identity under global pressure. Conclusions of the study: 1. The conflict between traditionalism and fundamentalism in Islam is an example of a worldwide conflict between "global" and "local" systems. 2. The assessment of the role of Islamism in the modern globalizing world is ambiguous: on the one hand, fundamentalism has really become a response to the global processes of Westernization and unification, on the other hand, its role as a mechanism for ensuring the cultural identity of Muslims and an alternative to the Western civilizational model does not correspond to reality. 3. Fundamentalism in its opposition to traditional Islam is aimed at destroying its cultural and historical heritage and ultimately leads to destabilization in the Muslim world, to the destruction of historical Muslim statehood and culture. 4. Fundamentalism is transformed into anti-traditionalism, which carries the ideas of religious postmodernism, but in reality it has an archaic content and is used in this way by supranational structures to implement the project of a controlled universalist world order.

The Objectives and Styles of Quranic Sirah-Writing: An Illstrative Study

The early Muslim historians and hadith experts recoded the Sirah (life and biography of the Prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him-) literature in their historical annals, and hadith collections. The Sirah-writings was gradually developed as an independent field of inquiry in which the writers employed other sources such as the Quran, exegeses, hermeneutics, Arabic poetry, geography and even theology for Sirah understanding. However, it has been observed that the central position of history and hadith compendiums in Sirah-writings remained intact till the advent of Modern period in which a great change has been witnessed both in methods and styles of Sirah-writings to respond the western critique of Sirah-writings and to present the holy life of the Prophet as a model for humankind. Therefore, they attempted to revisit the sources with reversionistic approaches and a variety of methods and styles were devised for systematic Sirah-writing. The present study aims to explore the objective of the newly emerged trend of the Quranic based Sirah-writings. A meticulous effort has been made to identify the objectives of this genre. A plethora of literature has been composed to construct an authentic biography of the Prophet grounding on the Quran as its prime source. However, those who follow this trend are clearly categorized into two distinctive groups, those who reject the historical and Prophetic traditions altogether and those who employ the traditions for better understanding of the Quranic text regarding the life of the Prophet. An illustrative case study of the Quranic Sirah-wrings has been conducted to identify the nature, objectives of the subject and how various approaches have been espoused by the leading experts of the field.

العهد المكي عند الواقدي (دراسة وصفية لمصادره وأخباره عن العهد المكي من خلال الطبقات الكبرى لابن سعد) The Meccan era according to Al-Waqidi (A Descriptive Study of His Sources and Narratives about the Meccan Era through the Book “Al-Tabqat al-Kubra” by Ibn Saad)

Muhammad bin Umar Al-Waqidi is known for his famous book “Al-Maghazi” which is comprised of a collection of narratives related to the period of Madina. Al-Waqidi is considered to be one of the best early Muslim historians due to his unique style of presentation and critique of narrative considering the internal and external circumstantial pieces of evidence to determine the historic fact. His book (Al-Maghazi) has been massively highlighted and appreciated in this regard. Al-Waqidi’s contribution to Makka’s period has not much been highlighted and discussed despite having a huge number of narratives and some basic information related to this period. In fact, Al-Waqidi has been a big source of Ibn e Saad in Al-Tabaqat generally and in Makka’s period particularly. In this article, I have tried to highlight this aspect from different angles. I have discussed the sources of Al-Waqidi, his method of critique, his distinct features for the narration of this era, and how he differs from other historians in the content related to this era of history.

Prophetic Instructional Strategies: A Pedagogical Framework for the Contemporary Academics

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was not only the preacher of a new religion and the leader of a new community but also an effective teacher, a passionate supporter of learning, and a pioneer of modern education. Islam is a revealed and knowledge-based religion that promotes learning and in which every person regardless of caste, class, color, and gender is obliged to get an education. The early Muslims were passionate about education as they were influenced by Prophet Muhammad's outstanding teaching methods and tactics. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) used every tool and approach available to transmit knowledge to people. The methods and strategies used by the Holy Prophet and the early Muslims in their academic endeavors are examined in this study. This paper explores Hadith literature on instructional methods and proposes a dynamic synthesis of Islamic pedagogical principles, particularly prophetic precepts, with academic ideas of modern education. Such synthesis is compatible with the manifestations of Prophetic precepts spanning Muslim history, and it would provide an explicit Islamic pedagogical framework for teachers, many of whom are from quite diverse educational systems. The research aims to study instructional techniques employed by Holy Prophet (PBUH) in order to promote a modern education system.
