The Noble Quran is the central Islamic divine text and a complete code of life. For better understanding of the Quran, Mufassireen and other Muslim Scholars have been engaged in writing Tafasir & books on its explanation and interpretations. Dr Siraj-ul-Islam Hanief is an Islamic Scholar, hailing from a remote but historical area named Hussai located near Shabaz Ghari in Mardan district of KP. In Islamic Studies, his speciality (interest) is in Tafsir and Hadith, specifically Fan "Asma-Al-Rijal" and "Jarh-Wa-Tadeel". He has authored about 60 books in Arabic, Urdu & Pashto languages on Tafsir, Hadith, Aqidaha, Fiqh and various other toipcs. Out of which 40 books have been published uptill now. Besides this he has supervised many research scholars who worked on Tafsir projects. He has also been delivering annual Dwra-e-Tafsir at Masjid Taqwa, Hussai. Dr Siraj has been serving as Theology & Arabic Teacher, Lecturer and Assistant Professor of Islamic Studies in the education department, colleges & universities of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from time to time. Though, Dr Siraj-ul-Islam’s Islamic scholarship and authorship and contribution in the field of Quran and its sciences, are of paramount importance but unfortunately very little number of people from academia know about it. This paper presents a scholarly and analytical study of his contributions (Books, Articles, Duroos, Research Supervisions and Projects) in Quranic Studies (1974-2019) for the information, easy access and facilitation of research scholars in Islamic Studies.

The second chapter is a literature review. The first section tackles the different theological positions Muslim scholars have posited with regard to activism. This is important as we find that some of these stances guide, or are used to justify, the various forms of activism. I further discuss the types of Muslim activists, and the social movement literature, in order to ground the findings of this book within a field of study. The idea is that the book should be relevant beyond Singapore or even Islamic studies, and locating the book within the literature of social movements serves this purpose.

Abstract Research into early Muslim sources has demonstrated that some verses of the Qurʾān have been seen by Muslim scholars as containing direct references to the events of the Prophet’s early life. Modern scholars, however, have questioned the appropriateness and authority of these Qurʾānic references as being accurate sources of information for the Prophet’s biography. Since the ḥadīṯ are regarded as an authoritative exegetical tool for understanding the meaning of Qurʾānic verses, the ḥadīṯ and scholars’ views on the scripture and its relationship to the narratives of sīra nabawiyya must be undertaken. The objectives of this present study are to explore the narratives of the Prophet’s early life as found in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Buḫārī and analyse al-Buḫārī’s perspective on the role of ḥadīṯ as an exegetical tool for Qurʿānic references in sīra nabawiyya. The study is qualitative in nature, as it utilises both critical and analytical approaches for its methodology. The study suggests that al-Buḫārī employed innovative and novel approaches when presenting narratives of the Prophet’s early life. At certain places in his al-Ṣaḥīḥ, by adducing certain ḥadīṯ in detail, al-Buḫārī endeavours to convey one distinctive and irrevocable message to the reader.

Reviews of early Muslim sources confirm that some verses of the Qur’ān have been perceived by Muslim scholars as direct references to the narratives of the Prophet’s early life. These selected verses are deemed to contain information about Muḥammad’s genealogy, birth, childhood and other aspects of his youth.  Modern scholars have, however, argued about the appropriateness and authority of these Qur’ānic references as being the true bearers of information of the Prophet’s biography. Since the ḥadīth is regarded as an authoritative exegetical tool employed to explore more deeply the meaning of the Qur’ān, and one of which contains a vast source of information about the Prophet’s life, it is indispensable to analyse the works of ḥadīth and its scholars’ views on the narratives of sīra nabawiyya. This study aims to explore the narratives of the Prophet’s early life in Musnad of Aḥmad and analyse Aḥmad’s perspective regarding Quranic references to the Prophet’s early life. The study is qualitative in nature in which the researcher utilised both critical and analytical approached as its methodology. The study in its finding espouses that the rarity of Qur’ānic reference to Muḥammad’s early life in Musnad of Aḥmad, an enormous inventory of ḥadīth of the ninth century, indicates one scholar’s views about Muḥammad’s early life. It is obvious that Aḥmad make no connection between the Quran and the narratives of the Prophet’s early life, even though verses that are widely used by the author of sīra as an allusion to Muḥammad’s early life.

This descriptive qualitative study focuses on the description of the English consonants systems spoken by speakers of Sundanese backgrounds. This implies that such speakers of particular regional backgrounds speak unique and ideosyncratic native languages. This study will provide a description on the consonants production of English as Foreign Language (EFL) speakers with Sundanese native language in an experimental phonetic method to the students of Islamic Education Department of State Institute for Islamic Studies Salatiga. In this study, the writer have two objectives: (1) to know the English consonants systems of EFL Sundanese speakers in Islamic Education Department of State Institute for Islamic Studies Salatiga?  and (2) to know the most frequent errors on pronouncing English consonants produced by EFL Sundanese speakers. From the result of the analysis, it can be seen  that the EFL Sundanese students made 262 errors. It can also been seen that the greatest errors made by the EFL Sundanese students are mispronouncing the minimal pairs of /f/ and /v/, /s/ and /Ө/ and /ð/ and /z/.   The misuse of the sound “p” instead of “b” is common error for Sundanese since there is not distinction between the sound “f”, “v” dan “p” in sundanese phonological system.

Shaykh Ghulam Rasool Saeedi was a prominent Scholars of the contemporary era. His tafseer Tibyan ul Quran is very famous for his comprehensiveness and due to discussion on modern issues and challanges. He has done rectifications and criticism in his Tafseer on other scholars in so many issues with arguments, one of them is Imam Fakhr Uddin Razi a famous scholar of 6th century AH. The Shaykh Ghulam Rasool Saeedi rectified and criticize the Imam Razi in different kind of issues, so we had discuss it from surah Al-Anfal only because we can not discuss it more than one surah in this article. Furthremore Rectification is a terminology of Islamic Studies which mean corrections of mistakes, completion of deficiency and clearification of ambiguity which is a special Quality of Islam. In addition the Rectifications of Honourable Muslim Scholars on each other is a source for the innocency of the Ummah, and we can find its examples in the era of Sahahaba (RA) and Tabieen and later, One thing which is unforgettable is that, that these Scholars has maintained respect of each other personalities and opinions, further more thay were impartial in their research as well as tolerant and courteous while dealing with these issues even having different school of thoughts etc.

Not only Houris: wildān muḫalladūn and ġilmān in the Koran and Muslim Religious Literature In descriptions and discussions of the Muslim concept of paradise, much space is always devoted to the famous – as well as infamous – Houris. My article, however, is devoted to another paradise thread, that is, an analysis of fragments of the Koran where “immortal youths” (wildān muḫalladūn) are mentioned. These are verses 56: 17–19 and 76: 19. In slightly different words (ḡilmān muḫalladūn) they are also referred to in verse 52: 24. This topic has not yet been sufficiently covered in the studies in the field of Arabic and Islamic studies. Christian Luxenberg devoted some space to him in his controversial work on the Syro-Aramaic reading of the Koran. Much more space has been devoted to “immortal youths” by Muslim scholars, both classical and modern, not avoiding references to the ambiguities that may arise in connection with these verses.

It is always refreshing to witness Muslim scholars debating one of themost important phenomena of the modern Islamic revival: the question ofthe "use of force." There is no doubt that this issue is deeply misunderstoodand indeed misused by Islamists and non-Islamists alike. Any attempt to shedlight on the subject is therefore highly appreciated and welcomed. As Muslimswitness the transformation of the international political and economic systemquestions and expectations are raised regarding its possible impact on theMuslim world. In this context, the article which occasioned this response(AbuSulayman, 'AbdulHamid, "Guiding Light: The Qur'an and the Sunnahon Violence, Armed Struggle, and the Political Process;' AJISS 8, no. 2[September 1991]: xi-xxxv) and the debate it is likely to generate (includingthe proposed World and Islamic Studies Enterprise's symposium on the subjectin early 1992) is not only timely, but also highly fitting.From the outset, I would like to emphasize that I approach this topicwith a great deal of academic interest and open-mindedness. Only an objectiveand detached analysis by, and debate among, Muslim scholars can yield abetter understanding of the Islamic conception of the ' use of force." Thefollowing are some remarks that may, I hope, contribute to a betterunderstanding of the phenomenon under discussion.On the Structure of the DebateThere is a need to restructure the debate about the "use of force," sharpenits focus, clearly define its vocabulary, and place it within its proper context theIslamic conception of change. This is not a debate about "power" and"power relationships," but rather one of change and the Islamic political theory(and practice) of change. In this context, the debate is three-dimentional,for it seeks to provide answers to the following three groups of questions:a) What is the Nature and definition of change? How can we recognize changewhen we see it? What is the "normal" or "ideal" model which we seek toemulate and institute?; b) What instruments of change are Islamically permitted,pragmatically affordable, and most cost-effective given the nature andconstraints of domestic and international politics?; and c) What means andstrategies of change are most appropriate and effective and, above all, notprohibited by the Shari'ah? ...

The background of this study is the writer’s concern about history learning which only focus on rote learning and text book that makes the student drown into the sea of facts. Therefore, it is true what Tolstoy said that history is nothing but useless collection of stories which aimed is only for “entertainment”. In fact, the aim of Novel study can balance the intellectual side and the value learning, give a better chance to remind various history facts, and make history learning become more enjoyable. However, these purposes need to be supported by the history teacher’s ability in appreciating historical novel. The focus of this paper is “how good is the History Education Department students appreciating novel in history learning?” This research study used qualitative approach to find a complex and holistic picture about the subject being studied. Besides, the researcher also uses the phenomenology approach which is used in understanding how the students sense their experience when studying the novel and use to observe the perception, ideas, imagination, emotion, desire, willingness, and action they showed when they analyse the historical novel.
