AbstractIbn Raḥīq is an 11th century scholar who compiled a book on popular astronomy. This work included a section in which he summarizes basic knowledge of the Milky Way as it was wide spread in the first centuries after the hejira. Ibn Raḥīq gives a comprehensive overview of the perception of the Milky Way that reaches from its use as a test for knowledge of the religious tradition and for agricultural purposes on the one hand to an exact astronomical description of its shape in the sky during the year and to theories of its nature and composition on the other hand. We use a comparison of his text to those of Ibn al-Haytham and others to investigate the role the Milky Way played in early Islamic civilization from its beginning until the 15th century.

Mereka berusaha membangunkan tamadun Melayu-Islam dan mengembangkan ilmu dalam segenap aspek. Sumbangan yang dihasilkan dalam bidang keilmuan terbukti dengan kewujudan sekitar 22,000 manuskrip dalam pelbagai bidang ilmu. Oleh itu, artikel ini akan memfokuskan perbincangan mengenai sumbangan para ulama Alam Melayu dalam bidang pendidikan Islam dengan mengkaji manuskrip Melayu-Islam dalam bidang tersebut. Bidang pendidikan menjadi fokus utama artikel ini disebabkan kajian-kajian lepas hanya membincangkan sumbangan ulama Alam Melayu secara umum sahaja dan kajian tentang manuskrip juga dibahagikan dalam kategori yang terlalu umum. Manuskrip bidang pendidikan Islam atau yang membicarakan tentang pendidikan hanya dikategorikan di bawah bidang agama dan sehingga kini masih belum ada penulisan berkaitan manuskrip Melayu dalam bidang pendidikan Islam. Pengumpulan data dibuat secara khusus dengan meneliti katalog-katalog deskriptif yang diterbitkan oleh Pusat Kebangsaan Manuskrip Melayu, Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia, memilih dan mengemukakan deskripsi umum manuskrip Melayu terpilih dalam bidang pendidikan Islam. Kajian awal ini mendapati wujudnya sekitar 32 naskhah manuskrip yang amat berkait rapat dengan bidang pendidikan Islam dengan 12 naskhah manuskrip yang dijudulkan sebagai ‘Adab’ sebagai karya yang membincangkan tentang ilmu dan pendidikan Islam. Dapatan ini sekaligus membuktikan bahawa ulama Alam Melayu juga memberi sumbangan yang besar dan bernilai dalam bidang pendidikan Islam. Hasilnya juga diharapkan memudahkan pengkaji manuskrip Melayu untuk meneroka kajian lanjutan dalam bidang pendidikan Islam khasnya pemikiran dan karya-karya klasik para tokoh ulama Islam di Alam Melayu.   Kata kunci: Ulama Nusantara; Manuskrip Melayu; Pendidikan Islam; Kajian Manuskrip; Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia.

This article offers an overview of Arabic literature of the pre-Islamic and early Islamic periods. Although a wide range of examples and genres—proverbs, maxims, etiological tales, folk and religious lore—is discussed, the chapter focuses on the preeminent early Arabic literary genre, the originally orally composed and transmitted ode (s. qaṣīdah, pl. qaṣāʾid) of the mostly Bedouin Arab tribes, prior to the coming of Islam. Through its elegiac nasīb depicting the abandoned campsite and lost beloved; the raḥīl, desert journey by she-camel; and its compelling madīḥ, praise of the patron’s virtues, the qaṣīdah encoded and preserved the ethos of the warrior aristocacry of the pre-Islamic period and together with the Qurʾān formed the literary-cultural foundation for the most extensive of the Semitic literatures, that of Arab-Islamic civilization.

The rise of early Islamic civilization suggests a position that contradicts Harold Innis’ theory of the bias of communication, in which his dominant group is empowered by a monopoly of the communication resources during a given time and space. This paper argues that the communication methods used by Prophet Muhammad’s alternative social force during the early seventh century were, in fact, the main tool that organized Islamic society, helped develop its ideals, and aided the expansion and formation of one of the world’s great civilizations. This paper discusses and analyzes the reasons behind the Prophet’s communication methods and the subsequent the rise of early Islamic civilization.
