Abstract

This article addresses issues related to the interfaith dialogue, focusing on the historical context from which it emerged and uncovering the tacit assumptions underlying the idea. It is argued that interfaith dialogue is part and parcel of the Christian mission which seeks to promote inclusivism but also eventually leads to pluralism and relativism. In addition, the article also discusses the three approaches taken by Muslims throughout centuries in dealing with people of other faiths.

Abstract

Scholarly interest in the thought and teachings of Shâh Waliyyullâh adDihlawî has increased in recent years –not surprisingly, given the richness and profundity of his writings. This article explores the mystical dimension of prophecy emerging from Shâh Waliyyullâh’s insights and remarks, focusing on the key concepts such as the World of Images (‘Âlam al-Mithâl), the Highest Council of Angels (al-Mala’ al-A‘lâ) and the Holy Enclave (Haz} îrat al-Quds), which help explain how, from the sûfî point of view, prophecy is possible. The main task of a prophet is to set up order in social, political and economic life of people. The prophet receives revelation which enables him to communicate the Divine Message to mankind containing all that is necessary for their welfare both in this life and the next according to the Divine Plan.

Abstract

It has been a sad fact that whilst the ancient Greco-Roman civilization and the so-called Renaissance have always received high praise, the period in between, popularly known as the Dark Ages, is highly obscured or just ignored. These intermediating centuries are the missing link in the history of science and civilization, when most decisive scientific inventions were made, and the foundations of modern civilisation were laid, with scholarly, literary and scientific works in their thousands, artistic creativity, great architecture, huge libraries, hospitals, universities, mapping of the world, the discovery of the sky and its secrets, and much more. It was the time when al-Biruni, al-Khwarizmi, alIdrisi, al-Razi, Ibn Sina, Ibn al-Haytham, al-Ghazali, al-Jazari and other Muslim luminaries shone on the Dark Ages. This article aims to highlight the fact that the modern Western civilization owes much to the Muslims, who did not only inherit and preserve the ancient learning but modified and developed it. It is the Muslim legacy that paved the way for the revival and enlightenment of Europe in the 15th and subsequent centuries.
