UMMET U KUR’ANU DANAS

Author(s): Almir Fatić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 28/2006

This article primarily examines lexical and semantic meanings of the word Ummah (Islamic community) and it provides contextual situations in which the word Ummah appears in the Qur’an. The article states that, according to the semantic research of the Qur’an, the word Ummah has nine different contextual meanings. The article goes on to explore the meaning of the Qur’anic syntagm “ummeten wasatan”, found in the 143rd Ayah (Verse) of the Al-Baqara (Cow) Surah (Chapter), which serves as a kind of a motto for this article. The examination of meaning of this syntagm has been conducted based on various classical and modern Tafseer (Commentaries) of the Qur’an. The article then talks about the Ummah as a political union of Muslims. The basic conclusion of this part points to the far-reaching and grave consequences of replacing the transnational concept of the Ummah in the Muslims world’s political order with the concept of national Muslim states, which is still dominant.

O ULOZI MUSLIMANSKIH INTELEKTUALACA

Author(s): Murad Wilfried Hofmann / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 28/2006

Prije ulaženja u raspravu o ulozi muslimmanskih intelektualaca, trebamo se složiti s tim šta podrazumijevamo pod ovim terminom. Dobro je poznato značenje riječi musliman zato što je definirano u samom Kur’anu. Prem ma suri En-Nisa’, 125. ajet, musliman je „onaj ko se u potpunosti pokorava Allahu, dž.š., čini ono što je dobro i slijedi put Božijeg poslanika Ibrahima, a.s.“ Također, i u 136. ajetu iste sure, musliman je „onaj ko vjeruje u Allaha, dž.š., Njegove poslanike i objave koje su bile poslane onima koji su bili prije nas“.

GRADEĆI ISLAMSKU PSIHOLOGIJU

Author(s): Selma Jakub / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 23/2005

Kao muslimanka, rođena, odgojena i obrazovana u Engleskoj, s vremena na vrijeme sam osjećala neugodu što, kao psihoterapeut, prakticiram zapadnu psihologiju. Često se susrećem s pacijentima koji bi, prema mom mišljenju, imali koristi od cjelovitijeg pristupa, koji bi, pored emocionalnih i fizičkih, uzeo u obzir i njihove duhovne potrebe. Međutim, kao da postoji tabu kad je u pitanju miješanje vjere i tretmana – to nije „prihvatljivo“ i smatra se „neprofesionalnim“. Tokom našeg obučavanja za psihologe se duhovnost gotovo i ne spominje, a ako se i spominje, to je na negativan način.

TUMAČENJE ISLAMA U SAVREMENOM SVIJETU - KOMUNIKOLOŠKI DISKURS

Author(s): Meho Šljivo / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 19/2004

The article discusses possibilities of, qualitatively and methodologically, new interpretation of Islam, capable of adequately fulfilling the specific spiritual needs of the modern man. In the first part of the article the author discusses some of the important intellectual standpoints of the contemporary western thinkers which are indicative of the prevalent spiritual, cultural and ethical disorientation of the modern man. Technological revolution, consumerism, psychological deformations and pathological phenomena, like the widespread phenomenon of boredom, are some of the important characteristics of the modern life. An irrational side of human existence is unsatisfied and neglected. It reemerges from human existence with demands in the form of ultimatum. It basically lacks the true peace and happiness, both of which are unattainable through the union of spiritually free ratio and unselectively praised technology.

Leonarda Bindera.

ISLAMSKA ZAJEDNICA I MEDIJI U BIH

Author(s): Remzija Pitić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 2/2000

Odnos vjere i medija, kao i prisustvo vjere i vjerskih zajednica u medijskom prostoru Bosne i Hercegovine je pitanje koje zavreðuje posebnu pažnju. Proces transformacije, kroz koji prolazi naša zemlja, trebao bi dovesti do novih odnosa na relaciji Islamska zajednica - mediji, ali i do novih odnosa medija i medijskih poslenika prema vjeri općenito.

ISLAM U NASTAVI

Author(s): Ishak Alešević / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2000

Njemačko društvo davno je spoznalo da je najmoćniji integrativni faktor za očuvanje primarnih i sekundarnih grupa, te države u cjelini nego religija. Ona je ne samo društveni cement koji veže i moralizator od jedinke do društva. Stoga je, jedna od osnovnih briga države i društva da školski sistem osnovnog i srednjeg obrazovanja kao obavezan predmet u nastavi ima nastavu religije (Religionsunterricht).

VIÐENJE AMERIČKOG MUSLIMANA

Author(s): Sulayman S. Nyang / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 1/2000

Suvremeni svijet u kojem živimo je općenito prihvaæen kao "televillage". Ovaj termin implicira da članovi ljudskog roda žive životom koji karakterizira bliskost. Premda su ljudi odvojeni okeanima i morima, razdaljine se premošćuju tehnološkim napretkom koji smo ostvarili u posljednjih stotinu godina. Ovaj tehnološki i znanstveni razvoj je uspostavio nove odnose u društvu u kojima stanovnici moraju učiti živjeti zajedno i provoditi vi¹e vremena nastojeći razumjeti jedni druge.

Zaboravljeni Islam

Author(s): Smail Balić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 8/1999

Bio je nekoć jedan islam, koji se njegovao u prisnom krugu porodica. Donosio je sa sobom toplinu doma, smirenost u svakidašnjici i zbrinutost na obadva svijeta. Vjernici su u njemu nalazili ono što smiruje srca (Kur’an 13:28), Ispoljavao se u vjerovanju, čestitosti i samoobuzdavanju ili pobožnosti (takvâ),

OBIJEST KAO GENERATOR LJUDSKE (AUTO)DESTRUKCIJE - KUR'ANSKA PERSPEKTIVA

Author(s): Muamer Neimarlija / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 15/2017

The specific characteristic of the mental constitution of humans and jinns, in comparison to other creatures of Allah, is the freedom of will. The principle of human free will is displayed through their constructive or destructive behavior toward themselves and/or their overall environment. Taking into consideration the origin of will, it might be claimed that the quality of the human behavior is proportional to the quality of their spiritual life. Hence, the potential of human destructive behavior is determined, in addition to the effect of environmental stimuli, also by the corresponding mental constitution, in the shaping of which, according to the Qur'anic text, the phenomenon of tugjan plays an extremely negative role.

NEORACI0NALISTIČKI PRAVAC U ISLAMSKOM SVIJETU I NJEGOV UTICAJ NA ISLAMSKU MISAO U SVIJETU I KOD NAS

Author(s): Zuhdija Adilović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 02/2004

Intellect occupies a very important place in Islam. Not one of the past revelations directs our attention to intellect, its role and significance in the life of man, as does the Book of Islam. A superficial glance at a Qur’anic text will reveal verses that end with the words: so that you would understand.” “...so that you would think.” “...to those who understand”, and which are repeated dozens of times. Despite this, certain sects have appeared and disagreements emerged. Some extolled the intellect and assigned to it a higher place than it deserved. Contrary to this view, others completely neglected the intellect and denied its value. The first generations of Muslims and their honorable followers remained steadfast and held firmly to the Truth, which was the reason for the flourishing of Islamic civilization and all scientific fields: medicine, philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, geography, etc.

Nasr Hamid Abu Zejd i temelji njegove hermeneutike: kritičko preispitivanje stava da je Kuran proizvod kulture

Author(s): Seid Halilović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2017

In the cognitive stage of religious traditions, science, in the light of the authority of religious revelation and reason, was dominant in relation to culture, which means that it was possible to determine the true value of different cultures using scientific knowledge. Nowadays, the completely opposite approach is gaining in popularity. Namely, when they discovered the fundamental weaknesses of empiristic definition of science, postmodern philosophers started more vocally saying that culture actually has a crucial influence on the method and internal science structure. Thus, science loses its cognitive independence and becomes the product of culture. In other words, each culture creates a separate scientific knowledge in accordance with its other cognitive layers and needs of the members of that culture. Among the Muslim reformist thinkers, influential Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd wrote in a most comprehensive and thorough manner about the text of the Quran undergoing the influence of culture from the time of life of the Prophet Muhammad. He explained that the interpreter necessarily has a crucial role in forming the meaning of a text and that the meaning of the text will not be determined on its own until the hermeneutical position of the person reading and interpreting it is taken into consideration. Abu Zayd believed that the primal meaning of the Quran was conditioned by cultural and historic contexts of the time when the Quran appeared and that meaning was no longer credible. However, according to his opinion, the essence of the Quran message will be discovered using hermeneutics, when we harmonize the text with our contemporary cultural realities. With his pioneering attitude, Abu Zayd broke all ontological and metaphysical principles of mystical hermeneutics in the traditional cognitive environment of Islam. The renowned representatives of Islamic mystical heritage insisted that essential and inner meanings of the Quran text are in no way opposing its outer meaning. Using various methods, they uncovered sophisticated secrets of the Quran teachings in the heart of outer layer of the words of God and, in that manner, they ascended to the heaven of metaphysical realities of the Quran and the whole universe.

Savršeni čovek u islamskoj filozofiji, realnost ili iluzija

Author(s): Tehran Halilović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2017

In the works of Islamic philosophers, the position of the ideal head of the ideal society was occupied by the divine prophet who, according to their description, possessed all the virtues of a human being can possibly have. Unlike an ideal society which, due to the participation of a great number people, is unlikely to be achieved in reality, a human being who has achieved the maximum development of his soul can exist, according to Islamic philosophers. The idea of a perfect man in Islam is above all an ontological and philosophical idea that talks about the significance of man’s being in relation to the whole universe. Since he possesses various cognitive powers that connect him to all the realms of intellect, imagination, and matter, he has the opportunity to create another version of the universe within himself, or, to put it differently, to become a part of the realms by creating them inside himself. In addition to the fact that man has a special status among living creatures, the idea of a perfect man can by no means be interpreted as a worship of man or of the humanization of God. The relationship between the divine being and all other creatures that can’t be compared to His being, also applies to a perfect man, regardless of his special ontological position. Despite the fact that he resides in the realms through his body and soul, and because of his ability to realize all the beauty of the being, man is potentially the most valuable of God’s creatures and is different from all other beings. The more conscious man is of his essence, the more easily he will find a way to the ultimate purity.

Kritika Fazlurahmanovih osnova rekonstrukcije religijskog mišljenja u islamu

Author(s): Seid Halilović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2017

Fazlur Rahman was a professor of Islamic Studies and Philosophy at prominent universities in England and America. He became the head of the Central Islamic Research Institute in Karachi a few years after the state of Pakistan was internationally recognized. At the request of the president of his homeland, he is actively committed to defining the religious strategies of the new state, which will be based on the cognitive principles of Islam and at the same time aligned with the changing needs of the modern world. Until the end of his life, and chiefly as a professor of the University of Chicago, Fazlur Rahman tirelessly explained that Muslims would not benefit from modernity until they established the correct model of understanding of the essence of religion in modern times. He believes that in traditional Islamic knowledge we cannot find adequate answers to the complex challenges of modern life and therefore proposes new basic guidelines for the interpretation of the Quran and Islam. Fazlur Rahman primarily stresses the importance of noticing the difference between the unchanging principles of Islam and historical Islam. In his view, all social teachings of the Quran in the form of Islamic regulations were established in the historical context of the needs of the first Muslim community, which means that these regulations are no longer credible today. Fazlur Rahman’s model would practically evolve in the following manner: in the first step, we focus on history and analyze the historical contexts of the Quranic teachings, with the intention of recognizing and separating the general principles of the Quran. In the second step, the general principles thus obtained are aligned with the circumstances of the modern era with the help of modern social, political and economic sciences, and through this we come to formulate new social regulations of Islam. However, using the method of analyzing the contents of Fazlur Rahman’s highly influential works, we will notice serious methodological weaknesses in his extreme reformist approach. His knowledge of the prominent theological heritage of the Muslims was obviously not vast enough, and he also did not try to exhaust all the possibilities of the rich instruments of the traditional Islamic methodology of jurisprudence. Our conclusion is that Fazlur Rahman’s platform for the reconstruction of religious thought paves the way for the dominance of secularized Islam, despite the fact that Fazlur Rahman himself was most concerned of such a possibility.

KIRAETI / ČITANJA KUR'ANA (QIRA'AT QUR'ANIYYA)

Author(s): Rifet Šahinović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 8/2016

Muhammad Asad (Leopold Weiss, 1900-1990.), a revert to Islam, is one of the many thinkers which greatly influenced Western Muslims opinion during the second half of the XX century. Among others, the most important Asad’s work is a translation and commentary of the Qur'an in English entitled ‘The Message of the Qur'an’. In the first part of this work we deal with the question of importance of knowledge of Qira’at in Islamic sciences. Another part of our work illustrates Asad’s reliance on Qira’at in his translating solutions of Qur'anic verses.

أساليب نقد متن الحديث عند الفقهاء والصحابة

Author(s): Sezayi Bekdemir / Language(s): Arabic Issue: 37/2018

“The real Sunna” which is one of the two majör resource of Islam is explanation of Qoran and refers to it. Sunna both explains the general laws, borders the definite rules and sometimes gives a specific rule which Qoran doesn’t contain. To behave according to Sunna, the reality of hadith must be known. In order to find out the reality of hadith, Mohaddis generally use criticism of narrator, while fukahâ cared text criticism. Mohaddis classified the hadith as real-good-weak and so, they evaluated the text of them. Fukahâ classified them as narrated-famous-one way and so, they emphasised the narratives’ definity in points of behavior. Hanafi scholars reached to peak of text criticism by bringing new criteria in order to act within one way hadith. In the light of this knowledge it will be seen that the arguement of “Muslim scholars –especially Fukahâ- didn’t criticised the hadith from the point of text, they reached laws only by looking their narrator chain” which is started by Orientalists and is accepted by some Muslims, is not true. The tradition and knowledge backlog, which began with The Prophet and came today with evaluation and effort of the companions, shows us that this arguement doesn’t have any scientific value. In this artcle we will study “The Companions’ And Fukahâ Methods Of Hadith Text Criticism” as a response to some accusations to Fukahâ.

Az iszlám Közép-Ázsiában. Változatok egy vallásra

Author(s): Gitta Szekér / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 06/2018

The paper reviews the history of Islam in Central Asia and its form of Islamic practices, both “mystical Islam” and so-called “folk-Islam”. The text examines the importance of oral narratives and their sociocultural constructions within its particular context. While the presence of Islam in certain parts of Central Asia dates back to the 17th century, the spread of the faith in regions that are now the modern states of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, was, in actuality, a gradual process. We can talk about the case of Islamisation in multiple waves. The first section of the paper aims to present the main historical events, including Bukhara, “the Mecca of the East”, and the importance of the “Central Asian Golden Age”. It reviews the Soviet era (together with the birth of the modern nations within the Soviet nationalities policy), the shaping of Islamic practices during this time and the effect of both the “underground Islam” of the Soviet times and the foreign impact in the Islamic discourse of these independent states beginning from the Nineties. It assesses the rebirth of Sufism in a national context and the possible influence of foreign jihadi movements. The second part of the research seeks to demonstrate the religiously diverse nature of the region and its encounter with Islam. It notes the effect of certain Shamanistic rituals and beliefs that shaped the religious practices, such as the Osh Bibiyo (and, through this, women’s possible empowerment by their leading role in healing and religious rituals), that is now an organic part of Islam in the region. By exploring the spiritual past of Central Asia, the paper aims to prove the deep implantation of Islam into the life of the people, though with peculiar local characteristics.

O ESENCIJALNOM JEDINSTVU VJEROVANJA I DOBRIH DJELA

Author(s): Hasan Džilo / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 75/2018

This article discusses a topic of the essential unity between the act of believing and the act of doing within Islam and in the light of the Qur'anic teachings. We are here concerned about a type of religious experience that has not yet been discussed. Believing and doing good deeds are related within the most intimate link and there is not a thing that can come between the two. The relation between the two is such that it is impossible to make one of the primary importance and the other of the secondary. Just like the act of doing is not possible without the idea as its guiding line which designs it, thus the act of believing is not possible without good deeds. It is the good deeds that make the faith a dynamic, not a static fact. Not only in disclosure and love, but also in good deeds, in experience that makes it a historical fact is that something that lifts it above experience and above historical. Good deeds are an open perspective as the Messenger s.w.s. himself defined it.

Arabski nacjonalizm – ideologia Arabów w XX wieku
