QUOTE
 

Sir John Bagot Glubb - “Khalif (Caliph) Al-Ma'mun's period of rule (813 - 833 CE) may be considered the 'golden age' of science and learning. He had always been devoted to books and to learned pursuits. His brilliant mind was interested in every form of intellectual activity. Not only poetry but also philosophy, theology, astronomy, medicine and law all occupied his time."

“By Mamun's time medical schools were extremely active in Baghdad. The first free public hospital was opened in Baghdad during the Caliphate of Haroon-ar-Rashid. As the system developed, physicians and surgeons were appointed who gave lectures to medical students and issued diplomas to those who were considered qualified to practice. The first hospital in Egypt was opened in 872 AD and thereafter public hospitals sprang up all over the empire from Spain and the Maghrib to Persia."

 
PERSONALITY
 
Abd al-Rahman al-Awza'i RA
--------------------------

Abu Amr Abd al-Rahman ibn Amr al-Awzai (707 - 774) was the chief representative and eponym of the Awzai school of Islamic jurisprudence, which descended from the ancient Syrian school.

Apparently, born in Damascus, Syria in 707, very little of al-Awzai's writings survive, but his style of Islamic jurisprudence (usul al-fiqh) is preserved in Abu Yusuf's (d.798) book Al-radd ala siyar al-Awzai, in particular his reliance on the "living tradition," or the uninterrupted practice of Muslims handed down from preceding generations. For Awzai, this is the true Sunnah of Muhammad (d. 632). Awzai's school flourished in Syria, the Maghreb, and Muslim Spain but was eventually overcome by the Maliki school of Islamic law in the 9th century. However, given his authority and reputation as a Sunni Imam and pious ancestry, his views retain potential as a source of law and a basis for alternative legal approaches and solutions. He died in 774 and was buried near Beirut, Lebanon, where his tomb is still visited.

In the Maghreb and Muslim Spain
The reason why the people of Morocco took up the Madhhab of Imam Malik, is that the people of Morocco and Spain were originally upon the Madhhab of al-Awza’i, and likewise the Sham, from where they were conquered. Then during the rule of Al-Hakam I, the official fatwas were changed and given according to the opinion of Malik ibn Anas and the people of al-Madeenah. This was due to the opinion and preference of al-Hakam due to some political benefits he saw and they differ about the actual reason. Most hold that it was due to the scholars of Spain travelling to al-Madeenah, then when they returned to Spain they spoke of the excellence of Malik, his wide knowledge and great station, so they honoured him and preferred his Madhhab. Others say that Imam Malik RA asked some of the people of Spain about the rule in Spain and they described it to him and Malik was very pleased by it since the Abbasids in that time did not rule in a manner that was agreeable. So, Imam Malik RA said to the person who told him, ‘We ask Allaah to enlighten our sacred precincts with your rule.’ This was transmitted to the ruler of Spain, who already knew of the knowledge, excellence and piety of Malik; so he lead the people to accept his Madhhab and ordered that the Madhhab of al-Awza’i be abandoned. The kings of Morocco and the west agreed that the rulings and actions should be according to the preferences of Ibn al-Qaasim al-`Utaqi (a famous student of Malik) only.

In Syria
In Syria, the Madhhab of al-Awza’i remained the main school of thought until the 10th century, when Abu Zar’ah Muhammed ibn Uthman of the Shafi’ee Madhhab was appointed judge of Damascus. Abu Zar’ah began the practice of giving a prize of 100 Dinars to any student who memorized the book, Mukhtasr al-Muzanee (the basics of Shafi’ee fiqh). Naturally, the practice caused the Shafi’ee Madhhab to spread rapidly in Syria, until none of al-Awza’i’s followers remained until the 11th century.

FIQH
 

If a person has only one Qada (missed) Salaah to offer and before this he never missed any Salaah, or he had missed in the past but he made Qada of all of them, then he should offer this one Qada Salaah before offering any other Salaah. If he offers any other Salaah without offering this Qada Salaah, it will not be valid. He must offer the Qada Salaah and repeat that other Salaah. However, if he completely forgot to offer the Qada Salaah, the other Salaah will be valid. When he remembers, he will merely have to offer the Qada Salaah and it will not be necessary to repeat the other Salaah.

"'n Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en 'n Blog gerig op die Afrikaanssprekende Christen deur S'aad Bekker:

"Miskien het jy dit al raakgesien of dalk wonder jy waar kom ek aan die storie dat die Suid Afrikaanse Christen-Wêreld besig is om in duie te stort en die Christene haweloos en Kerkloos te laat... Wel, dalk is ek meer bewus daarvan omdat ek uit daardie wêreld kom, toe ek in 2007 'n Moslem geword het. As Moslems nie doelbewus gaan uitreik na die Christene om ons, en hulle uitnooi om Moslems te word en by ons aan te sluit nie, gaan hulle, insha'Allah, baie seer kry en waarskynlik "godloos" opeindig in die waan dat alles wel is terwyl ons as Moslems weet daar kom wel 'n Oordeelsdag... of wat dink jy?

THE SMILE
 

PREACHING
-----------

Mulla preached on Fridays at the village mosque. One day, having nothing to preach about, he asked the congregation:

"Do you know the subject I am going to discuss today?" "No" said the people. "Then I refuse to preach to such an ignorant assembly. How could you not know given the events of the past week?" asked Mulla and left hurriedly. The next Friday he went up the Minbar (Pulpit) and asked: "Do you know the subject of my sermon today?" People fearing a repetition of what had taken place a week before nodded and said: "Yes yes, indeed we know." "Well, then. There is no point in telling you what you already know", said Mulla and left. On the third Friday he ascended the minbar and asked: "Do you know what I am going to speak about today?" Not knowing what to say, some said yes and some said no.

"Then those who know can tell those who don't", said Mulla and left.
