On December 25, 2006, the Ethiopian Peoples' Defense Force (EPDF)accompanied by troops from the Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG), andenabled by U.S. Special Forces, invaded southern Somalia intent on destroying the Unionof Islamic Courts (UIC). 2 The Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, declared,"Ethiopian defense forces were forced to enter into war to protect the sovereignty of[Ethiopia]... we are not trying to set up a government for Somalia, nor do we have anintention to meddle in Somalia's internal affairs. We have only been forced by thecircumstances."3 The goal of the invasion was to destroy terrorist base camps in Somaliaas well as liberate Somalia from what they described as the "Taliban of Somalia,"4 and toensure the TFG was installed as the sovereign of Somalia, following the age old Clausewitzian adage that "war is a continuation of politics by other means."5 However,the invasion also threw Somalia back into chaos, and the peacekeeping forces actingunder an African Union (AU) mandate maintains tenuous control over Mogadishu to thisday

The primary question of this research thesis, whether the Käba in Mecca is physically orientated toward Jerusalem, appears never to have been studied before.The secondary question is, if later accounts are correct, why were paintings of Abraham, Jesus, and Mary found in the Käba at the time of its cleansing from idols by Mu¿ammad in 630 C.E.? The primary hypothesis is based on the location of the ¿ä¿m, a low semi-circular wall on the north-west side of the current structure of the Ka'ba, which is the demarcation of the original Abrahamic structure and the resting place of Ism¿¿¿l and his mother H¿jar. Relating back to the earlier structure of the Käba in 7th century Mecca and before, the question that arises from this observation is whether there is any historical evidence for the ¿ä¿m being part of the earlier framework.Whether the Käba is a directional building has several key concepts that need to

This study examines the religious life of reformist Muslims in a Yogyakarta village.

Zakat, being the third pillar of Islam, is an act of worship fulfilled by Muslims. As an obligatory means of alms- giving expected of Muslims, it also helps to alleviate poverty in society by assisting such individuals to achieve a state of financial independence. It is maintained by Muslims that the principles of zakat derived from the Sharia are expected to remain unchanged with passing time. However, in order to achieve efficiency in the administration of zakat, innovation and technology can be used even within the parameters of Sharia. The objective of this textbook is to provide the opportunity to learn the basics of zakat and its contemporary application by highlighting the innovative practices of zakat with issues and challenges.

The Struggle of the Shi'is in Indonesia is a pioneering work. It is the first comprehensive scholarly examination in English of the development of Shiism in Indonesia. It focuses primarily on the important period between 1979 and 2004 "a period of nearly a quarter of a century that saw the notable dissemination of Shi'i ideas and a considerable expansion of the number of Shi'i adherents in Indonesia. Since Islam in Indonesia is overwhelmingly Sunni, this development of Shiism in a predominantly Sunni context is a remarkable phenomenon that calls for careful, critical investigation. There is also an important examination of the principal ideas underlying the Madhab Ahl al-Bayt, the Imamate and Imam Madhi, Ja'fari jurisprudence and ritual piety. Appropriately, in his discussion, Zulkifli provides a succinct outline of contrasts with Sunni ideas and practice. He also examines the publishing efforts that underpinned the dissemination of Shi'i ideas and the founding of IJABI (Ikatan Jamaah Ahlul Bait Indonesia) in July 2000 for the propagation of Ahl al-Bayt teachings. Given the Indonesian context, Zulkifli is also concerned with Sunni reactions to these Shi'i developments "a story that continues to unfold to the present. This book as a work of great value and significance for the continuing understanding of the richness and complexity of Indonesian Islam.

Comment pourrait-on définir notre rôle et notre but dans la vie sans recevoir des instructions claires et pratiques sur ce que Dieu veut et attend de nous ? C'est là qu'intervient le besoin de prophétie. En effet, Dieu a envoyé des milliers de Messagers et Prophètes à l'humanité afin de transmettre Son Message et de communiquer avec nous. Chaque nation sur Terre a ainsi reçu un Prophète. Ils ont tous prêché le même Message universel, celui d'une seule déité digne d'être adorée. Il est le Seul et Unique Dieu, sans partenaire, fils, fille, ou égal. Dieu a envoyé des Messagers et des Prophètes pour empêcher l'humanité d'adorer leurs créations et les inciter à adorer leur Créateur, le Maître de tout. Les prophètes sont venus informer leur peuple de qui est leur Créateur, comment développer une relation avec Lui et comment l'adorer. Les Prophètes ont ainsi expliqué à leur peuple que la vie n'est qu'un test, où ceux qui réussissent iront au Paradis pour l'éternité, et ceux qui échouent connaîtront le châtiment ultime dans l'au-delà. Par Sa miséricorde et Son amour infinis, Dieu continuait à envoyer des messagers avec des livres de Dieu pour guider l'humanité - à commencer par le prophète Adam, puis Nouh, Ibrahim, Ismaël, Yaacoub, Moussa, le prophète Issa et le prophète Mohammed, que la paix soit sur eux tous. De nombreux Prophètes sont présents dans les traditions juives & chrétiennes. Tous les Messagers et Livres précédents autres que le Saint Coran et le Prophète Mohammed n'ont été adressés qu'à un groupe spécifique de personnes et n'étaient destinés à être suivis que durant une période particulière. Par exemple, le prophète Issa, la paix soit sur lui, était l'un des plus puissants messagers de Dieu, qui a été envoyé avec le même message que tous les prophètes précédents, mais il n'a été envoyé qu'aux Bene Israël - la nation qui a vécu avant nous - comme leur dernier prophète puisqu'ils avaient enfreint les commandements de Dieu et s'étaient éloignés des lois établies par le messager précédent, Moussa, PSSL.Chaque fois que Dieu envoyait des Messagers avec une Révélation, après leur passage, les peuples déformaient & modifiaient les Révélations de Dieu. Ce qui était une pure Révélation de Dieu - serait ainsi entaché de mythes, de propos humains, de superstitions, d'idéologies philosophiques irrationnelles, & de culte des idoles. La religion de Dieu se perdit dans une pléiade de religions. Ainsi, comme le prophète Issa PSSL, a été envoyé pour corriger le message précédent adressé avant lui par le messager précédent, Moussa, PSSL. Le Prophète Mohammad est venu remettre en état le Message du Prophète Issa puisqu'il avait été modifié par ses adeptes et n'avait pas été préservé dans sa version originale.Au moment où l'humanité vivait une période extrêmement sombre, Dieu le Tout-Puissant envoya son dernier et ultime Messager à l'humanité, le Prophète Mohammad, la paix soit sur lui, ainsi que sa dernière Révélation, le Coran, pour sauver l'humanité. Le Coran et le dernier Messager reprenaient tout ce qui avait été révélé à tous les Messagers précédents dans le passé. Contrairement aux Messagers et aux Livres précédents, le Prophète Mohammad, PSSL, a été envoyé à toute l'humanité, et il n'y aura pas de Messager ou de Prophète après lui, ni de Livre après le Coran, dans la mesure où tous deux sont destinés à être suivis par tous les peuples, et non pas seulement par un groupe particulier de personnes ou une période particulière ; tous deux doivent être suivis par tout le monde jusqu'à la fin des temps.

Visibly (and Invisibly) Muslim on Grounds: Classroom, Culture, and Community at the University of Virginia offers a unique insight into the experience of Muslim students studying and living on an elite university campus. The powerful stories shared by these students, however, will no doubt resonate across all campuses across the United States. In these pages, you will not only hear students speak about the impact of direct and subtle Islamophobia but about how these same students respond by building communities of support. And you will understand how pathways toward inclusion and understanding can be created across a university campus. Throughout, you witness students navigating difficult circumstances with the insight, care, and understanding too often missing from mainstream news coverage. As such, this book is vital reading for university administrators and professors. "No scholarly community can function when certain members are either unseen or stereotyped within it. This book is an urgent call for change. May it inspire the beginning of a conversation that UVA so pressingly needs to convene."-Noah Salomon, Associate Professor in Islamic Studies, Department of Religious Studies, University of Virginia"Through extensive interviews and careful analyses, this book shares the stories of young Muslim college students in America today. Often othered, misrepresented, and misunderstood, the Muslim students interviewed here show their strength and resilience. Taken together, the interviews illustrate the diversity of American Muslim communities and provide for us the very real and tangible impacts of anti-Muslim rhetoric."-Tamara Issak, Assistant Professor, St. John's University
