Important Principles in the Light of the Sermons of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq in Reforming Society. The art of Addressing is very important in Islam, Arabic is considered to be the best language in the world in terms of its comprehensiveness and beauty of expression and the Arabs also claim superiority over other nations in this regard, their claim was in the past and Even today. Especially before His resurrection, Arabic poetry was considered the best source of Arabic language and literature. This language was found in the form of poems and speeches. In Arabs, poetry and rhetoric were considered the most important source of ideas. Through speech, the chiefship and determination of one's own tribe was expressed. In conversation, speech was used to make others agree. Speech was considered as the first condition for ruling. People of every tribe used to acquire this art to train their children in it. After the advent of Islam, significant virtues were born in this art. When Islam came, the people of that time were proud of their language, rhetoric and eloquence. They were so proud of their rhetoric and eloquence that they used to call the whole world “Ajami” except themselves. He صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم Who was the preacher of of Revolution, perfectly Role model in the field of Addressing by the essence of rhetoric. “And my brother Haron's language is more fluent than mine.

This paper aims to study Sayyeda Rabab Kazimi’s Quranic commentary ’Mushaf-ul-Karim’ that interprets the Quarn through Shia standpoint for common readers. Sayyeda Rabab Kazimi’s parents migrated from India to Pakistan during partition of subcontinent. Born in Pakistan, she lives now in America. She emerged as a female Shia preacher particularly among the Urdu speaking community. She regularly conducts public sermons and Majalis for Shia women. It seems that her commentary of the Quran is basically written for the masses as both of its medium and themes are simple. It explains general themes for the benefit of common audience. She attempted to link the life and merits of the family of the Prophet (Ahl Bayt)-peace be upon him- with the Quranic verses. Consequently, she successfully made a persistent effort to interpret the Quran to elaborate the life and teaching of the family of the Prophet while interpreting the various themes of the Quran. In this paper,an effort has been made to study the style, method, and sources of this commentary to understand the significance of this contribution in the plethora of tafsir literature.

Emotions are largely interpersonal and inextricably intertwined with communication; public performances evoke collective emotions. This article brings together considerations of poetic assemblies known as ‘mushāʿira’ in Pakistan with reflections on sermon congregations known as ‘waʿz mahfil’ in Bangladesh. The public performance spaces and protocols, decisive for building up collective emotions, exhibit many parallels between both genres. The cultural history of the mushāʿira shows how an elite cultural tradition has been popularised in service to the modern nation state. A close reading of the changing forms of reader address shows how the modern nazm genre has been deployed for exhorting the collective, much-expanded Urdu public sphere. Emphasising the sensory aspects of performance, the analysis of contemporary waʿz mahfils focuses on the employment of particular chanting techniques. These relate to both the transcultural Islamic soundsphere and Bengali narrative traditions, and are decisive for the synchronisation of listeners’ experience and a dramaticisation of the preachers’ narratives. Music-rhetorical analysis furthermore shows how the chanting can evoke heightened emotional experiences of utopian Islamic ideology. While the scrutinised performance traditions vary in their respective emphasis on poetry and narrative, they exhibit increasingly common patterns of collective reception. It seems that emotions evoked in public performances cut across ‘religious’, ‘political’, and ‘poetic’ realms—and thereby build on and build up interlinkages between religious, aesthetic and political collectives.

The tradition of sermons in the history of the world is as old as man himself. Prophets, reformers, philosophers, intellectuals, politicians, generals, every individual who excelled in knowledge and wisdom or wealth or power and might, he needed to address others. This tradition has been very strong in the history of Islam itself, in which the most important sermon was given by the Holy Prophet himself in the farewell pilgrimage. Of course, writers and scholars continue to give speeches based on sermons and advice in ceremonies, conferences, gatherings and meetings, but they are not taken into consideration in the study. This study deals with sermons which have been organized by an organization under its own specific project or national intellectual need. Eminent scholars are requested to present their sermons or papers. The scholars are given enough time to work on their proposed sermons by academic, literary, educational, religious or national organizations to present to the selected people.
