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.

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.

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.

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 religious teaching including ideology is effectively transmitted through literature. The ideology of dakwah movement in campuses can be mapped using their accessed literatures. This study aims to explain the ideology and the transmission of literature that are read and used by two da’wah organizations at campus and Islamic studies in ITB Bandung. The data collection is done with a series of interviews and a review of the text. Interviews were conducted with key informants, consisting of the chairman and the board of the organizations. The results showed that religious literature in the Islamic da’wah activists and Islamic studies is still dominated by authors affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan alMuslimin) and the caliphate ideology. Although religious readings are thick with ideology, readers should not be ‘ideological readers,’ because a social network has more influence on the transmission of literature than other factors. Therefore, this seems to be a routine activity without discourse and reading material enrichment.

Abstract In the aftermath of September 11, the academic study of Islam has been one of the most sought-after areas of academic expertise throughout North America. The result is that many departments of Religious Studies have been eager either to develop or increase existing offerings in all things Islamic and Arabic. This strikes me as a good a time as any to reflect upon the nature of the relationship between Religious Studies and Islamic Studies. This article assumes that the integration of the latter into the former has not been easy or even successful. It provocatively argues that some of the manifold reasons behind such tensions emerge from the apologetics—found among both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars—inherent to the study of Islam. This confessionalism is the result of a complex amalgam of academic and non-academic forces.

Islam Nusantara (Islam of the archipelago) is a new term having recently captivated especially Muslim scholars. Islam Nusantara is the discourse about Islam as a religion having an encounter with tradition in the archipelago. Such encounter has resulted in a distinctive religious tradition which is considerably different from that of other regions. While radicalism in Islam is a form of in-depth (radic) understanding in Islam. Instead of having the in-depth understanding of Islam, radical Islam is a form of Islamic understanding that tends to be "hard", scripturalistic, anti tradition and easily blame the interpretation of others. This has led to a movement that justifies any means to impose their views on others. They have even used violent acts, suicide bombings and other forms of violence. The rigid and scripturalistic understanding of Islam is such an antithesis of peaceful Islam Nusantara. The urgency of teaching Islam Nusantara in universities is such a must following the fact that some of the perpetrators of violence in the name of religion are educated groups from several leading universities. This indicates that the radical Islamic movement has begun to spread to higher education. Radicalism has widely been propagated especially to the students studying in non-Islamic studies vocational programs.
