Status Of Women

The relevance of this study is related to the status of women in society in the pre-Islamic periiod. The introduction discusses the relevance of the work. This topic has been relevant since past times, and to this day it is just as relevant not only in individual regions, but throughout the world. Before writing the main part, a brief comparative analysis of the rights and position of women in ancient civilizations such as the Greek civilization, the kingdom of mana (Hinduism), Judaism and the Arab countries before the Islamic period was made. The main part was devoted to the consideration of women’s rights in marriage and family relations. In various social classes, the degree of women was low. The main goal is to reveal and not recognize the rights of women in society, marriage and family. In the pre-Islamic period, women had no rights in Arab society. In the period of ignorance of the Arabs, girls were buried alive. Islam also shows that women are also human and have the same rights as men. After analyzing the pre-Islamic period, in the final part, examples were given of immorality and ignorance towards a woman, and with the advent of true religions, all these actions were canceled, and the status of a woman was elevated.

Status Of Women

The classical Muslim modernists of the nineteenth century envisaged Islamic Reform as a comprehensive venture: it took in its purview law, society, politics and intellectual, moral and spiritual issues. It dealt with questions of the law of evidence, the status of women, modern education, constitutional reforms, the right of a Muslim to think for himself, God and the nature of the universe and man and man's freedom. A tremendous intellectual fervour and ferment were generated. The liberals and the conservatives battled; the intellectual innovators were opposed and supported, penalized and honored, exiled and enthusiastically followed. Although the modernist movement dealt with all the facets of life, nevertheless, in my view, what gave it point and significance was its basically intellectual élan and the specifically intellectual and spiritual issues with which it dealt. This awakening struck a new and powerful chord in the Muslim mind because intellectual issues had remained for centuries under a state of selfimposed dormancy and stagnation at the instance of conservative orthodoxy. The nineteenth century was also the great age of the battle of ideas in the West, ideas and battles whose strong injections into Muslim society found a ready response. The character of this movement was then primarily intellectual and spiritual.

В статье, основанной на материалах религиозных и светских текстов сибирских авторов XIX – начала XX в., документах региональных архивов, рассматривается феномен сибирского Иерусалима. Особое место уделено вопросам анализа иерусалимской и палестинской топонимики в Сибири. Автор преследует цель проанализировать процесс формирования феномена сибирского Иерусалима: какова его семантика, как соотносятся понятия «сибирский Иерусалим» и «Новый Иерусалим» и соотносятся ли вообще. В методологическом плане статья опирается на разработки в области иеротопии (А. М. Лидов) и культурно-семиотического трансфера (С. С. Аванесов). Автор приходит к выводам, что Иерусалим на протяжении XVII–XXI вв. оставался одним из пространствообразующих сакральных символов Сибири. В разное время в общественно-религиозном и научном дискурсе к сибирским Иерусалимам относили Тобольск, Енисейск, Томск, Каинск, Новокузнецк. Сибирские паломнические и религиозные тексты XIX – начала XX в. указывают на факт разделения в сознании сибиряков понятий Старого и Нового Иерусалима. Сибирский Иерусалим можно рассматривать в качестве образа Нового Иерусалима, продолжением процесса иконизации Московской Руси. До 1917 г. сибирским Новым Иерусалимом жители Зауралья признавали Тобольск. Статус Тобольска подкреплялся культурно-семиотическим трансфером иерусалимского топоса в Сибирь в формах идеи (Тобольск как центр Вселенной), образа (комплекс Тобольского кремля) и литургии (обряд «шествия на осляти»). Строительство сибирского Иерусалима сопровождалось активным переносом символов Иерусалима в Сибирь, что нашло отражение в топонимике региона. Реконструкция происхождения наименований раскрывает несколько источников создания палестинской топонимики в Сибири: церковное строительство, золотодобыча и еврейское присутствие. The paper examines the phenomenon of the "Siberian Jerusalem" based on both materials of religious and secular texts of Siberian authors of the XIX – early XX centuries and documents of the regional archives. Special attention is paid to the analysis of Jerusalem and Palestinian toponymy in Siberia. The author aims to analyze the genesis of the phenomenon of Siberian Jerusalem: its semantics, the relation between the concepts of Siberian and New Jerusalem if such a relation exists. In terms of methodology, the article relies on developments in the field of hierotopy (A. M. Lidov) and cultural-semiotic transfer (S. S. Avanesov). The author comes to the conclusion that Jerusalem during the XVII–XXI centuries remained one of the space-forming sacred symbols of Siberia. At various times, in the social-religious and academic discourse, Tobolsk, Yeniseisk, Tomsk, Kainsk, Novokuznetsk were attributed to Siberian Jerusalem. Siberian pilgrimage and religious texts of the XIX – early XX centuries point to the fact of separation of the concepts of the Old and New Jerusalem in the consciousness of the Siberians. Siberian Jerusalem can be regarded as the image of the New Jerusalem, a continuation of the iconization of Moscow Russia. Until 1917, residents of the territory beyond the Urals recognized Tobolsk as Siberian New Jerusalem. The status of Tobolsk was reinforced by the cultural-semiotic transfer of the Jerusalem topos to Siberia in the form of an idea (Tobolsk as the center of the Universe), an image (the Tobolsk Kremlin complex) and liturgy ("the procession on the donkey"). The construction of Siberian Jerusalem was accompanied by an active transfer of the symbols of Jerusalem to Siberia, which was reflected in the toponymy of the region. Reconstruction of the origin of names reveals several sources of the creation of Palestinian toponymy in Siberia such as church construction, gold mining and the Jewish presence.
