Abstract

This research analyzes the authentic Hadith on the Maseeh al-Dajjal emerging from a "Khallah bayna al-Sham wa al-Iraq." It argues this is not a vague path, as often assumed, but a specific region, long obscured by modern political geography. The objective is to prove, via textual and geographical-historical evidence, that the "Khallah" is Al-Jazīrah (Upper Mesopotamia) by linking it to prophecies of "Al-Mashriq" (the East) and the tribes of "Rabia and Mudar." The qualitative, interdisciplinary methodology synthesizes textual analysis (tahlil nassi) of Hadith collections with a historical-geographical review of classical geographers to establish the pre-modern, consensus boundaries of Al-Sham, Iraq, and Al-Jazīrah. Classical geographers demarcate Sham's border at the Euphrates and Iraq's at the Tigris, making the "gap" (Khallah/Mahallah) unequivocally Al-Jazīrah. This is corroborated by Hadiths linking "Al-Mashriq" and fitna to the tribes of "Rabia and Mudar," whose lands (Diyar) classical geographers identify as Al-Jazīrah. The Dajjal's trials (controlling rain and livestock) also specifically match this region's demographic (the Faddadin). Scholars of Islamic eschatology should prioritize classical geographical definitions over modern maps. This methodology resolves contradictions and provides a more precise eschatological framework.

Abstract

Modern physics describes reality in terms of space, time, matter, and energy, yet increasingly encounters conceptual boundaries where space-time itself dissolves—such as singularities, quantum vacuums, and pre-Big Bang conditions. Parallel to this scientific frontier, metaphysical and theological traditions have long proposed an Ultimate Reality beyond space and time, from which all existence emerges. This paper explores the concept of Ultimate Reality beyond space-time, proposing that beyond all dimensions, forces, and temporal structures exists a singular, absolute source of existence—Allah, the One and Only Creator. Within this framework, consciousness is not an accidental byproduct of matter but an intentionally bestowed reality, centered and individuated through what is termed here as the Ultimate Centering of Consciousness. This paper integrates cosmology, philosophy of consciousness, and Islamic metaphysics to articulate a coherent model in which physical reality, consciousness, and ultimate existence derive from a singular, transcendent source beyond space-time.

Abstract

The contemporary environmental degradation in the form of climate change, global warming, pollution are not merely due to an ecological imbalance but to a large extent due to the “spiritual malaise” and secular view of nature. Although, the current environmental discourse is dominated by scientific and secular worldview, often undermining the role of religion and ethics in environmental renewal. However, within Islamic tradition, scholars have contributed immensely towards the ecological thought. The significant attempt has been made by Syed Hussain Nasr through his philosophical cum spiritual approach and Fazlun M. Khalid through his practical methodology, offering a rich grounding for ecological restoration. Therefore, through the comparative analysis of their ecological thought, a holistic environmental framework can be obtained. As, both of them conceptualize the man-nature relationship within the Islamic worldview. So, employing a comparative textual analysis of  their primary and related secondary sources, a conceptual and practical framework towards the ecological restoration is possible. The study therefore contributes towards the eco-theological discourse by integrating the philosophical diagnosis with practical remedy of the man-nature relationship. Thus, urging for a paradigm shift from “dominance to trusteeship” and “consumption to reverence”.

Abstract

The concept of Khilafah (Caliphate) has occupied a central place in Islamic political thought since the early centuries of Islam. Among modern Muslim thinkers, Abul A’la Maududi (1903–1979) stands out for offering a systematic reinterpretation of the Caliphate as a political system grounded in divine sovereignty, collective vicegerency, and constitutional governance. This paper explores Maududi’s model of the Caliphate as an Islamic polity, tracing its roots in classical Islamic theory while analyzing its modernist dimensions. It examines the theoretical foundations of his conception—especially AlHakimiyyah (Sovereignty of God) and Khilafah (Vicegerency of Man)—and his institutional vision for an Islamic state. The study also assesses how Maududi’s “Theo-democracy” transforms the Caliphate into a contemporary political framework and critically evaluates its philosophical coherence and practical challenges. By engaging both traditional juristic sources and modern scholarship, this paper situates Maududi’s Caliphate model as a seminal yet contested contribution to modern Islamic political thought.

Abstract

The current ecological crisis is generally framed in terms of climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, technology, economic growth, and environmental governance. But these approaches do not sufficiently explain why ecological destruction continues in the face of unprecedented scientific knowledge. The present article seeks to critically reconstruct the ecological thought of Seyyed Hossein Nasr, to investigate the metaphysical, epistemological, spiritual and ethical roots of this crisis. It mainly draws on The Encounter of Man and Nature, Knowledge and the Sacred, The Need for a Sacred Science and Religion and the Order of Nature and argues that Nasr views ecological degradation as a consequence of the desacralisation of knowledge and nature which favours reductionism, anthropocentrism, over consumption and technological domination. Drawing on the Create-a-Research-Space (CARS) model, the article identifies a gap in the existing scholarship: while Nasr’s significance for Islamic environmental thought is well recognised, little work has been done to reconstruct the causal logic of his ecological critique and to assess its practical limits. The analysis shows that tawḥīd, khalīfah, amānah, mīzān, scientia sacra and the resacralisation of nature provide a coherent metaphysical and ethical alternative. However, Nasr’s framework needs to be integrated with environmental science, political economy, institutional governance and social justice. In the end, the legacy of Nasr is to confront the worldview that lies behind ecological degradation and to link environmental responsibility to spiritual and moral transformation.
