Abstract:

This study proposes exposition to the teachings and influence of Khawājah YËsuf Hamadānī who is a prominent SËfÊ sheikh of the 11-12th centuries on the subsequent formation of SËfÊ Ïarīqahs in Central Asia. This study is the thought of Khalwah dar Anjuman that means to be with people while keeping AllÉh in heart. By studying his interpretations to the sufi terms like ×ayāt, Īmān, RūÍ, Qadar and al-Kawn one may clearly see that he would always attempt to practice his religion completely and never neglect any laws of Islam. His teachings did not approve of being drunk spiritually and he did not claim any miracles which are experienced by some other saints. This study may be a reference for further researches that might be conducted on History of Sufism, Islamic History and other related areas.

Abstract:

Michael H. Hart is writer of the book The 100. In the list of most ‘influential’ persons he ranked Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on first number. Usually the perception is that he appreciated Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), but the fact is contrary to this notion. He made serious attacks on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Islam. In this article, I have presented his views about Islam and the standard of his selection of a personality to make the picture clear in front of a reader.

Abstract:

Muslims of south Asia encountered numerous challenges in the areas of social, cultural, religious, educational and economic domains by the hands of British rule and Western educated Muslims. The traditional Islam was under the threat of degeneration due to these elements; meanwhile, the personality of Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanvi emerged as a reformer in the different domains of religion. His academic and intellectual efforts are multi-dimensional in their nature and scope, which skirt the realms of Islamic Tasawwuf, Social etiquettes, politics, education and Tabligh (propagation of Islam). This research study will focus on the role of MawlanaThanvi in the social reform of South Asian Muslims.
