Academic literature on the topic 'Kahhāl, Abū Bakr Ḥāmid'

Abstract The originality of the embryological thought expressed by Abū Ḥāmid al-Ġazālī (d. 1111) in Iḥyā’ ʿulūm al-dīn (The Revival of the Religious Sciences) is particularly evident if we consider it in the light of the classical medical theories. In this context, it is particularly important to consider the thought of one of the “free thinkers”, against whom al-Ġazālī, ḥujjat al-Islām (the “proof of Islam”), shows his argumentative strength: Abū Bakr al-Rāzī (d. between 925 and 935). The classical Greek theories are an important reference point for Abū Bakr al-Rāzī, as well as for Abū Ḥāmid al-Ġazālī, in spite of their different philosophical approach.

This article scrutinizes social and theological constructions of the practice of ijazah Asma Artho or Uang Azimat (money blessing tradition) in Fathul Ulum Islamic Boarding School. Asma Artho is not a practice of doubling money. It is only money blessed by kiai. There is a symbol contained in the post-blessing money, the kiai, through his team, writes the word Bāsiṭ, one of Asmā’ al-Ḥusnā, on the blessed money. Socially, the practice, which is routinely implemented every year, is not only sought by the santri, but also the general public and businessmen. If santri and the general public wishes the blessing of their rejection from this ritual process, then it is different from the perspective of the business community, where they believe this money (Asma Artho) has enough impact on the increase in the business’s current good. For them, the more blessed the money is, the more fortune it earns. In understanding the theological construct of this blessed money, the author examines the meaning of the Bāsiṭ, one of Asmā’ al-Ḥusnā, and the interpretation of this word in the Qur’an which is contained in the money and how to read the rajah. This bleesed money is based on the thought of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī, Abū Bakr Muḥammad Shatā al-Dimyātī, and Ma‘rūf al-Karkhī. Al-Karkhī said has even said that anyone who reads the mawlid upon the Prophet Muhammad on some silver or gold-plated dirhams and then mix the dirhams with other dirhams, these dirhams will then get a blessing.

Cette thèse analyse la littérature arabe de l’exil et de la migration produite au tournant de la « crise des réfugiés » de 2015, à travers un corpus de six romans dont les auteurs diffèrent par leurs sexe, âge, origine, notoriété et statut migratoire. L’étude vise à décrire l’émergence d’une nouvelle esthétique migrante construite autour de l’expérience polyvalente et multiforme du refuge, en identifiant les différents éléments de continuité et de discontinuité qui relient la fiction contemporaine au canon littéraire du passé. Focalisée sur des romans qui puisent dans la littérature de harraga (Taytānīkāt afrīqiyya d'Abū Bakr Ḥāmid Kahhāl et Anāšīd al-milḥ d'al-'Arabī Ramaḍānī), la première partie met en évidence les liens entre les textes qui relatent l'expérience de la migration clandestine et ceux qui se concentrent sur l'exode des demandeurs d'asile, en faisant ressortir le même type de discours critique à l'égard de la forteresse Europe et des hiérarchies établies par le système humanitaire. Concentrée sur les concepts de vulnérabilité, traumatisme et résilience, la deuxième partie est consacrée aux réalités du transit et de l'immobilité. Elle analyse les espaces d'exception incarnés par les camps de réfugiés palestiniens (Muḫmal de Ḥuzāma Ḥabāyib) et par la Syrie prérévolutionnaire, caractérisée par une double réalité d'accueil et répression (Ḥurrās al-hawāʼ de Rūzā Yāsīn Ḥasan). La troisième partie se concentre sur l'expérience de l'asile en Europe (Barīd al-layl de Hudā Barakāt et 'Āzif al-ġuyūm de 'Alī Badr), nous permettant d'explorer des représentations anti-hégémoniques des notions d'hospitalité, d'identité, d'appartenance et de citoyenneté
This thesis analyses the Arabic literature of exile and migration produced at the turn of the 2015 "refugee crisis", through a corpus of six novels whose authors differ in gender, age, origin, notoriety and migratory status. The study aims to describe the emergence of a new migrant aesthetic built around the polyvalent and multifaceted experience of "refuge", identifying the different elements of continuity and discontinuity that link contemporary fiction to the canon of the past. Focusing on two novels that draw on the tradition of harraga literature (Abū Bakr Ḥāmid Kahhāl's Taytānīkāt afrīqiyya and al-Arabī Ramaḍānī's Anāshīd al-milḥ), the first part of this work sheds light on the links between texts that recount the experience of clandestine migration and those that focus on the exodus of asylum seekers, bringing out from them the same kind of critical discourse towards Fortress Europe and the hierarchies established by the humanitarian system. Linking the concepts of vulnerability, trauma and resilience, the second part is devoted to the realities of transit and immobility, and analyses the spaces of exception embodied by Palestinian refugee camps (Ḥuzāma Ḥabāyib's Muḫmal) and pre-revolutionary Syria, characterised by a dual reality of regional shelter and repression (Rūzā Yāsīn Ḥasan's Ḥurrās al-hawāʼ). The third part sheds light on the experience of asylum in Europe (Hudā Barakāt's Barīd al-layl and Alī Badr's Āzif al-ġuyūm), allowing the reader to explore the anti-hegemonic representations of notions such as hospitality, identity, belonging and citizenship

This chapter discusses the history of Ashʿarism in the fourth to fifth/tenth to eleventh centuries. Ashʿarism was, besides Māturīdism, the most important school of Sunnikalām. After the decline of Muʿtazilism, it became the predominant theological school, primarily among the adherents of the Shāfiʿite and the Mālikite school of law. There is a wide scholarly consensus that Ashʿarism entered a new phase in the sixth/twelfth century, marked by an increasing influence of Avicennan philosophy, a transition generally associated with the prominent thinker Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī. This chapter focuses on theologians that preceded this methodological shift. It first charts the rise of Ashʿarism, highlighting the contributions of three key figures to the elaboration and broader dissemination of the school’s teachings: Abū Bakr Ibn Fūrak, Abū Isḥāq al-Isfarāʾīnī, and Abū Bakr al-Bāqillānī. It concludes with an assessment of Ashʿarism under the patronage of Niẓām al-Mulk.
