| PERSONALITY |
Abu
Al-Hasan Al-Mawardi
--------------------------
Abu al-Hasan Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn Habib al-Mawardi was born
at Basrah in 972 C.E. He was educated at first in Basrah where,
after completion of his basic education, he learned Fiqh (Islamic
jurisprudence) from the jurist Abu al-Wahid al-Simari. He
then went to Baghdad for advanced studies under Sheikh Abd
al-Hamid and Abdallah al-Baqi. His proficiency in jurisprudence
Ethics, Political science and literature proved useful in
securing a respectable career for him. After his initial appointment
as Qadi (Judge), he was gradually promoted to higher offices,
till he became the Chief Justice at Baghdad . The Abbasid
Caliph al-Qaim bi Amr Allah appointed him as his roving ambassador
and sent him to a number of countries as the head of special
missions. In this capacity he played a key role in establishing
harmonious relations between the declining Abbasid Caliphate
and the rising powers of Buwahids and Seljukes. He was favoured
with rich gifts and tributes by most Sultans of the time.
He was still in Baghdad when it was taken over by Buwahids.
Al-Mawardi died in 1058 C.E.
Al-Mawardi
was a great jurist, mohaddith, sociologist and an expert in
Political Science. He was a jurist in the school of Fiqh and
his book Al-Hawi on the principles of jurisprudence is held
in high repute.
His
contribution in political science and sociology comprises
a number of monumental books, the most famous of which are
Kitab al-Ahkam al-Sultania, Qanun al-Wazarah, and Kitab Nasihat
al-Mulk. The books discuss the principles of political science,
with special reference to the functions and duties of the
caliphs, the chief minister, other ministers, relationships
between various elements of public and govemment and measures
to strengthen the government and ensure victory in war. Two
of these books, al-Ahkam al-Sultania and Qanun al-Wazarah
have been published and also translated into various languages.
He is considered as being the author/supporter of the 'Doctrine
of Necessity' in political science. He was thus in favour
of a strong caliphate and discouraged unlimited powers delegated
to the Governors, which tended to create chaos. On the other
hand, he has laid down clear principles for election of the
caliph and qualities of the voters, chief among which are
attainment of a degree of intellectual level and purity of
character.
In
ethics, he wrote Kitab Aadab al-Dunya wa al-Din, which became
a widely popular book on the subject and is still read in
some Islamic countries.
Al-Mawardi
has been considered as one of the most famous thinkers in
political science in the middle ages. His original work influenced
the development of this science, together with the science
of sociology, which was further developed later on by Ibn
Khaldun. |

| HADITH/SAYINGS
OF MUHAMMAD (SAW)
|
Abu
Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger
of Allah (PBUH) said, "No one should prohibit his neighbour
from placing a peg in his wall". Abu Hurairah (May
Allah be pleased with him) added: Now I see you turning
away from this (Sunnah), but by Allah, I shall go on proclaiming
it. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary: The importance of the injunction
contained in this Hadith comes into prominence in localities
comprising huts and tents, or at places where the two neighbours
still have common walls between their houses. (In big cities
each house has its own independent walls.) In any case,
it is evident from this Hadith that a Muslim should be considerate
of his neighbours. Islam ordains us to co-operate and sympathize
with our neighbours. All Muslims are likened to a body each
organ of which is linked with the other. In the light of
this injunction, one can very well understand the rights
of neighbours in Islam.

| POEM |
No
matter how down we feel
And how much the sadness is real
We are willing to go the way
Even if the goal seems far away
Our aim is clear
And there is nothing to fear
Allah (swt) will help us surely
If we obeyed Him truly
There is nothing so hard
We just have to cross the yard
So let us do what we should
Or try to do what we could
Why not? What else shall we do?
Come on let us drive through and through
Are you happy with what we are?
I'm asking Muslims near and far
Don't you think it is enough?
Talking about silly stuff
Isn't it time to wake?
And give more than we take?
I'd leave the answers for you
And wait to see what we'll do… |

Father:
Have I not told you never to mention such things during meals!
Mother:
Why did you say that, Junior? Why did you ask the question?
Johnny:
It's because I saw one on daddy's lettuce, but now it's gone. |
