The outcome of the research was a number of results, the most important ones are :

1-   The recitations fall into two sections :

A) The recurrent recitations, and they are the ten recitations which are followed to our present time.

B) Abnormal recitations, any other recitation other than the ten recitations.

2-   Describing of a recitation as abnormal does not mean weakness in all abnormal recitations , but it means prohibiting reciting that way.

And Allah wishes the way

The Narrations About the Qunoot Supplication Made in the Witr Prayer, From a Hadeeth Perspective,

 and From a Fiqh Perspective

 

Dr. Muhammad ‘Umar ibn Saalim Bazmool

 

The study consists of two main parts:

·      Part One: The Narrations Along With a Discussion of Their Authenticity

·      Part Two: The Issues Related to the Qunoot Supplication Made in the Witr Prayer

The author gathered all of the authentic narrations from the Prophet (r) and the statements of his companions related to the qunoot of witr prayer.  He then classified them into categories of authenticity, so as to distinguish between the acceptable and unacceptable ones, which allowed the founding principles of the study to be based solely on the issues related to the qunoot of witr prayer.  He gathered what has been mentioned about the subject in the well-known schools of fiqh, along with the Thaahiriyyah School.  The author then went back and researched the issues one by one, according to the authentic narrations, using the methodology of the people of knowledge and their way of research, argumentation, and deduction.

Some of the conclusions reached in the study are as follows:

·      The qunoot of witr may be performed all year round.

·      The way of the Prophet (r) was to perform it sometimes and leave it sometimes.

·      Continuation with it every night is confirmed for the nights of the last half of Ramadhaan, beginning with the sixteenth night.

·      The qunoot is to be left off in the first half of Ramadhaan if the prayer is made in congregation with the people.  This is indeed an abandoned Sunnah, and unknown to many.

·      It is permissible to make the qunoot in the first and second half of Ramadhaan.

·      The qunoot of witr may be made before or after the rukoo’, while it is best done before it.

·       From the abandoned Sunnahs is to pronouce takbeer (“Allaahu akbar”) before and after the qunoot when making the qunoot before the rukoo’.

·       From the Sunnah is that the imaam of the prayer raises his voice with the supplications of qunoot, and the followers say “aameen.”

·       According to the Sunnah, the qunoot supplication is not to be long, and restricting one’s self to what has been reported on the Prophet (r) is best, as it would also be permissible to prolong it with other established phrases.

·      There is nothing obliging the people to make the qunoot a certain way, rather any way is permissible, and the best way is that which has been reported.

·      It is from the sunnah for the imaam of the people to not make qunoot in the first half of Ramadhaan, to make it in the last half, and to supplicate against the disbelievers in the qunoot.

·      It is permissible to raise the hands with the qunoot supplication, to leave them down at the sides, or to raise them for the first part and leave them down for the last part.  All of this is permissible.

·      It is not permissible to wipe the face with the hands after the qunoot.

·      It is permissible to send prayers on the Prophet (r) in the qunoot supplication.

·      ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood (t) and Ubayy ibn Ka’b (t) conveyed the most narrations about the qunoot supplication in the witr prayer.

·      The prayer that resembles the witr prayer most is Maghrib, as Maghrib prayer is the witr of the daytime.

·      Whatever is established for the naazilah qunoot (performed in the obligatory prayers) is also acceptable for the qunoot of witr prayer.  This is supported by the principle that whatever is allowed in an obligatory act is also allowed in an optional act, unless there exists specific evidence to prohibit it.

The author hopes that he has done justice to the subject, and that he has helped to revive the methodology of the people of the knowledge in research, gathering the evidences, accepting and rejecting them due to their authenticity, and then making conclusions based on them.

May Allaah grant the author success, guidance, and firmness.

Some Provisions in Respect of Touching the Holy Qur’an

A comparative Jurisprudent Study

Dr : Omer Ibn Mohammad Al-Subayyel

 

Abstract

 

     This research is an integral part of a previous one in which I have stated the provision of cleanliness or ritual purity for touching the Holy Qur’an. In this paper I have stated the rest of provisions regarding touching of the Holy Qur’an and its relation with what is said to be “Mushaf – Holy Book” where it is prohibited to be touched without ritual purity; however, it is permissible to touch what is not said to be “Mushaf – Holy Book”. It is also stated that the prohibited touching of Mushaf – Holy Book” is the direct touching by the ritually impure persons without a cover or a barrier whether being by hand or any part of the human body. It also explains the touching provision of a legal science book in which Holy Qur’an verses are written, Durham coins and the like. I have also stated the provision of touching what have been handwritten of ricted verses of Qur’an, the sacred hadiths, Holy Books other than the Qur’an, the recorded cassettes of the Holy Qur’an. The provision of writing Qur’an in languages other than Arabic is also explained here. Also, stated here in this paper, the provision of writing the Holy Qur’an by a ritually impure person and a non-believer. I have also stated the permissibility of touching the Holy Qur’an, when necessary, by a ritually impure person. In conclusion, I stated down the most important findings.

     May Allah Bestow peace and prayer upon our Prophet Mohammad, his relatives and his Companions.

Refutation of Solitary Tradition with the So-called (Inward Interruption); The Substance, Legal Position and Impact on Islamic Jurisprudence.

 

Dr. Tarhib bin Rubaean bin Hadi Ad-dossari

 

Abstract:

Idea of This Research and Its results/conclusions

I have mentioned in it the great importance of the Science of Usul l Fiqh (Source Methodology in Islamic Jurisprudence), being a tool for the accuracy of either legal deductions or juristic references. It is also a fence that prevents lapses, mistakes and flaws in the process of religious comprehension. And with proficiency in it, one finds the duty of giving preponderance to a legal opinion above the other most easy to accomplish.

I defined in this work, ‘al-khabar’ or tradition both literally and technically, and I also mentioned its divisions as well as what each division stands for in terms of either certain knowledge ‘ilm’ or mere  assumption ‘zann’. I also made mention of the position of Sunnah in the sight of the Supreme Legislator, the worthy ancestors of the Muslim nation and its Imams. I also discussed the alleged inward interruption and refuting a solitary tradition ‘khabar l wahid’ with it  in the Hannafi school of legal thought, by  mentioning the four sections of this case, with the proofs relied upon in each section, as well as clarifying the truth in each and every one of it. I also cited some practical examples of juristic cases in each section, all along with their proofs in connection with this matter. I also took an interest in the exposition of Imam Abu Hanifah’s legal opinions in every juristic matter, in line with his legal principles and that of the rest three Imams of the Muslim schools of legal thought. Those principles which has been transmitted from them without any element of doubt are clear-cut evidence on their view of giving preference to Sunnah above reason.

I have therefore arrived at very important conclusions, some of which are:

1-   These issues are more relevant to the Science of Creed than  the Science of Usul l Fiqh (Research Methodology in Islamic Jurisprudence).

2-   There is no divergence of opinion between Muslim Scholars of any age, especially the Companions of the Prophet, the Tabiun, their followers and the respected Imams including the four Imams of the Muslim schools of legal thought, on the inevitability of making Sunnah a prominent source of legislation. They even see it as parallel to the holy Qur’an in terms of both scholarly and practical legislations..

3-   Rejecting solitary tradition (khabar l wahid) as proclaimed by some followers of the four Imams is inconsistent with the view upheld by those Imams in their life time, as they all regarded solitary tradition a genuine and unrestricted source of legislation, whose verdict should be considered binding both in knowledge and in action.

4-   This issue of challenging the authenticity of a sound solitary tradition via what is called ‘inward interruption’ is an innovation invented by ‘Isa bin Abban, followed by Abu Zaid Ad-dabusi , and then many of the Hannafite scholars, such as al-Bazdawiyy, al-Nasafiyy and Abdul ‘Azeez al-Bukhariyy, to the extent that it later formed part of Hannifite legal principles.

5-   The principles (thereby developed from this stance) have failed the real test of serving as a reasonable basis for any  juristic deduction, in addition any ascription of such principles to Imam Abu Hanifah is an absolutely false claim.

How Emam Malek (God be Pleased with him)

deals with conflecting Ahadeeth

 

Dr. Mohammed S. Mansoor

Abstract:   

     This research paper shows how Emam Malek (God be Pleased with him) deals with conflecting Ahadeeth because they are thought to be transformed or doubtful in proof or meaning to remove it after it is being proved by him and according to proofs that assist in proving them. These proofs surround the evidence of each Hadeth to determine the most acceptable from those that are less attributed to the prophet (peace be upon him) to adopt. These proofs will assist in discovering the meaning of such Ahadeeth; their meaning can be definite; for they mean exactly what they have been said for, or they may refer to something less acceptable and thus mean something else. These Ahadeeth may explain one another, either by exchanging the obvious one by what agrees with the othersin meaning, or through specifying the general by the specific, or by narrowing the absolute by the limited, or support what is supportable according to external or internal quality.

Issues in the Study of the Prophet’s Biography

 

Dr. Mohammad Samil Al-Sulami

 

Abstract:

 The Prophet’s Biography represents the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his Companions. It is very important for all Muslims, especially educators and teachers, to study the Prophet’s biography following a scientific approach. The reason is that this biography is a behavioral, educational subject with ethical and ideological objectives. This paper is an attempt to state criteria for studying the Prophet’s biography in light of the following important seven issues:

I.  The resources of the Prophet’s biography.

2.  The religious foundation for those studying the Prophet’s biography.

3.  Interpreting the events narrated in the Prophet’s biography.

4.  The criteria for concluding lessons arid educational benefits out of the Prophet’s biography.

5.  Paying special attention to Allah’s ways (in dealing with matters).

6.  Identifying exemplary behavior of the Prophet’s practice to be followed.

7.  The sincerity of affection towards, and the fulfillment of the Prophet’s rights (peace be upon him).

These issues, if considered by educators and researchers, will promote the study of the Prophet’s biography in our schools arid universities, and this will be reflected on the behavior of the recipients. Such behavior is the ultimate fruit of studying the Prophet’s biography.

The “h” Sound in Arabic

 

Dr. Ibrahim Kayid Mahmoud

 

Abstract

 

This paper intends to describe the human speech sound which can be meaningful and thus can be used to communicate a message from one speaker to another. It touches upon the efforts of the ancient Arab linguists in the field of Arabic phonology and their innovative knowledge of the field. It describes the phonetic features of the “h” sound which could be considered in some cases as voiced and in others as voiceless. Then, it continues to explore the different linguistic views in regard to the place of articulation of this consonant in different contexts.

 

In addition, the paper describes the various places of articulation of the h” sound and the different names assigned to it according to the different environments in which it occurs (i.e. the silent, the pausing and the resting (full period) “h”. The researcher, then, discusses the various linguistic views about the different names and characteristics designated to this sound. Furthermore, the warning – “h” may be one of the ingressive pulmonic sounds, and not aggressive. Again, he distinguishes those sounds, which can be substituted for the “h” sound and vice – versa. In conclusion, the researcher comes up with some findings supporting his argument.

Some of Ibn Seedah’s Grammarian Opinions through his explanation to  the ambiguities of Al Mutanabbi’s Poems

 

Dr. Faeza . Omar . Ali . al Mouayad

 

Abstract

 

Al Mutanabbi’s poems are literary phenomenon on which most authors, linguistics, analyzers and comparative scholars rushed since his poetic talent came to let its content in the first mid of the 4th Hijiri Century. That concern was demonstrated by the great books which were composed such as Ibn Jinni’s (Al Fateh Al Wahebi on Al Mutanabbi’s ambiguities) and Ibn Seedah’s  (Explanation of The Ambiguities of Al Mutanabbi’s Poems) which is very rich of lingual digressions and grammarian comments that are very worthy to be discussed and considered; and this what makes this book as a background for this search that totally aims to follow Ibn Seedah’s grammarian opinions to be a remarkable reference in the field of showing some of Ibn Seedah’s opinions in the grammarian study that show the attitude of this Andalusian linguist towards the oriental scholars from one side and the extent of his cohesion to Sibawayh’s book from another side. The great importance of this search is the presentation of new poetic quotation  to one of the very newly poets.

This research tackles some of  the imperative (the unvoweled final ) issues in the Request / order Reply .

After defining the Imperative form denoted above, the research gives a brief note on univoweling the find consonant of the present Form, in generals, its unvoweling in the request reply depending on four issues of the present from after the request reply. Those four issues have suffered unsettling and difference amongst grammarians. These four issues are:

First: imperative factor in the request reply.

Second: cause of the present final consonant uoweling after negation and affirmation.

Third: consonant final unvoweling in prohibition order reply.

Fourth: effect of meaning on definition uoweling in the present form after the request.

However, the research uncovers some results that include grammar facilitation, problem solving, and ambiguity removal which encompass some matters.

The research, then, concludes with some application to verses forms the Holy Qu`ran . It deals with those applications with deep study of the meaning which is the basic pole in determining the appropriate definition voweling.

Indeed, it opens horizons for future studies of the Holy Qur` an verses depending on what grammarians and interpreters say.

I hope that Allah will make it beneficial . And with God's alone success is

The Different Declension Positions for the Word

“Abb” (father) in the Holy Quran

By Dr A. A. Al-Mohawes

 

In this paper, I’ve shown the 117 declension positions for the word “abb”(father”) as well as its dual and plural forms. The paper falls into an introduction, preface, two chapters and a conclusion.

In the introduction to this paper, I’ve mentioned its topic, plan, and the salient points of its approach.

In the preface, I’ve mentioned the origin of the word,its dual and plural forms, the conditions for the declension with letters and the declension when one of these conditions is missing, the differences concerning its declension with letters. I’ve also pointed out the word in the different dialects.

The first chapter deals with the declension positions for the word “abb” when it is inflected with letters for the nominative, accusative, and the dative or ablative cases. The word in question has been dealt with 41 times in this chapter to cover 15 declension positions.

When the word “abb”(father) is inflected with letters, it falls into three types:

1.  The first type is when it is inflected like “Al-Asma Al-Setta”(the Six Nouns).

2.  Second, when it is inflected like the dual: Here we have 7 examples covering 4 declension positions.

3.  Third, when it is inflected like the regular masculine plural “Jam’ Al­Muzhakkar Al-Salem”: This has occurred once in one of the recitations of a Quranic verse “Aya”.

The second chapter, on the other hand, deals with the declension positions for the word “abb” (father) when it is inflected with diacritics for the nominative, accusative, and dative or ablative. This chapter includes 77 examples that cover 18 declension positions for the word in question. The chapter also falls into two parts

1.  The first part touches on inflection with seen diacritics. Here we have 64 examples covering 13 declension positions.

2.  the second is about inflection with unseen diacritics. Here we have 13 examples covering 5 declension positions.

In the conclusion, I’ve collected the declension positions with reference to their recurrences. Then I’ve presented statistics for the cases of “abb” in the nominative, accusative, dative or ablative, singular, dual, plural, and in the genitive when combined with different pronouns. Statistics also indicate the Quranic chapters and verses where the word “abb” appears.

After the conclusion, I cited the verses including the word “abb” in the order of occurrence in the Holy Quran. Then I mentioned the different recitations of the word “abb” and the research margins.

The references are alphabetically arranged at the end of the paper.

Issues in Rhetoric and Criticism in the Suhaili’s Explanation of the Biography of Ibn Hesham

 

 

D. Mohamad Rifat Zanjir

 

Abstract

There is no research on the literary and rhetoric aspects of the Prophetic biography in the previous research except for the work of Abu Al Kasem Abdulrahman Bin Abi Al Hassan Al Khtha’mi Al Suhaili entitled “Arrawdh Al Onof fi Tafseer Assira Annabawiya of Ibn Hesham”. The book contained a quite deal of literary issues and rhetoric jokes that deserve to be subject for recordation. Suhaili is one of the Andalus scholars, and North Africans have in general their own methodologies and appreciation of literature and criticism, which is different from that of the Orientals. Suhaili has his own subtle artistic sense and tends to appreciate and analyze the texts in his explanation.

I therefore collected that artistic material and presented it in a study. The study consisted of a preface, five chapters and a conclusion.

The Preface reviewed the life of Suhaili and his methodology in his book “Arrawdh Al Onof”. The first three chapters discussed issues related to the science of rhetoric and figures of speech. Chapter four dealt with some of Suhaili’s talk about the rhetoric and miracle of Koran. Chapter five presented some of the issues, which were reviewed by Suhaili. The conclusion stated that Suhaili did his best in his explanation of Ibn Heham’s biography, that he avoided rhetoric terminology, that he had the sense and characteristics of a good critic, that his explanation of the biography is a reservoir that needs to be academically investigated.

Virtual Beauty in the Work of Hamzah Shahatah

Dr. Saleh S. Al Zahrani

Abstract

It is the concern of this study to elaborate that philosophy of virtual beauty is a view of beauty to art. ft is derived from a specific philosophical view of human, existence, and life. Thus, it goes beyond the beauty discernment and thought, to create its own system.

I have demonstrated the essence of this philosophy, its mechanism and scopes in the work of one of the most prominent leaders of the Saudi Arabian cultural movement: Hamzah Shahatah. It is obvious in his critical views and thought, his messages, and his famous lecture ‘Al-Rojulah Emad al-Khuluq al-Faadhel’ (good conduct: a prerequisite of becoming of a man) . I disclosed the richness of its contents, hinting to the most prominent of the various stylistic characteristics appearing in Hamzah’s literary works

 “La Seiama” and the words Related to it.

by Ahmed Bin Ahmed Assugaea Died in 1197 H.

 

Dr. Hassan  A. Al-Ghoniman

 

Abstract :

A singular noun often comes after “La Seiama” and it may be either definite or indefinite. If it is indefinite, it can be treated in three different forms. Yet, if it is definite it can be treated by two forms.

In a few cases “La Seiama”  may be followed by a noun sentence, a phrasal sentence , or an adverb.

We can not omit the first part of “La Seiama”  because deleting it or rather using each part separately result in a change in the meaning.

Some Arabs pronounced “La Seiama” without a stress on the vowel “ the second sound in the second part of the word”. The word “La Seiama” can not be used as a word for conveying exception as, what follows it is related directly in meaning to what comes before it. This is not the case with all words that are used to convey exception where the words that come before and after them are often not related in meaning.
