if they were a firm and compact wall.
061.005
YUSUFALI:
And remember, Moses said to his people: "O my people! why do
ye vex and insult me, though ye know that I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to
you?" Then when they went wrong, Allah let their hearts go wrong. For Allah
guides not those who are rebellious transgressors.
PICKTHAL:
And (remember) when Moses said unto his people: O my people!
Why persecute ye me, when ye well know that I am Allah's messenger unto
you? So when they went astray Allah sent their hearts astray. And Allah
guideth not the evil-living folk.
SHAKIR:
And when Musa said to his people: O my people! why do you
give me trouble? And you know indeed that I am Allah's
messenger to you; but when they turned aside, Allah made their
hearts turn aside, and Allah does not guide the
transgressing people.
061.006
YUSUFALI:
And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of
Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which

whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they
said, "this is evident sorcery!"
PICKTHAL:
And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I
am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed)
before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh
after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them
with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic.
SHAKIR:
And when Isa son of Marium said: O children of Israel!
surely I am the messenger of Allah to you, verifying that
which is before me of the Taurat and giving the good news of
an Messenger who will come after me, his name being Ahmad, but
when he came to them with clear arguments they said: This is
clear magic.
061.007
YUSUFALI:
Who doth greater wrong than one who invents falsehood against
Allah, even as he is being invited to Islam? And Allah guides not those who do
wrong.
PICKTHAL:

against Allah when he is summoned unto Al-Islam? And Allah guideth not
wrongdoing folk.

And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against
Allah and he is invited to Islam, and Allah does not guide
the unjust people.
061.008
YUSUFALI:
Their intention is to extinguish Allah's Light (by blowing) with
their mouths: But Allah will complete (the revelation of) His Light, even

the Pagans may detest (it).

religion of truth, that He may make it conqueror of all religion however
much idolaters may be averse.
SHAKIR:
He it is Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the
true religion, that He may make it overcome the religions,
all of them, though the polytheists may be averse.
061.010
YUSUFALI:
O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save
you from a grievous Penalty?-
PICKTHAL:
O ye who believe! Shall I show you a commerce that will save
you from a painful doom?
SHAKIR:
O you who believe! shall I lead you to a merchandise
which may deliver you from a painful chastisement?
061.011

(your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons:

Said the disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" then a portion of the Children
of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those
who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that
prevailed.
PICKTHAL:
O ye who believe! Be Allah's helpers, even as Jesus son of
Mary said unto the disciples: Who are my helpers for Allah? They said: We
are Allah's helpers. And a party of the Children of Israel believed, while
a party disbelieved. Then We strengthened those who believed against their
foe, and they became the uppermost.
SHAKIR:
O you who believe! be helpers (in the cause) of Allah,
as~ Isa son of Marium said to (his) disciples: Who are my
helpers in the cause of Allah? The disciples said: We are
helpers (in the cause) of Allah. So a party of the children
of Israel believed and another party disbelieved; then We
aided those who believed against their enemy, and they
became uppermost.

Turkey in radical revision of Islamic texts
By Robert Pigott
Religious affairs correspondent, BBC News |
Turkey is preparing to publish a document that represents a
revolutionary reinterpretation of Islam - and a controversial and
radical modernisation of the religion.
The country's powerful Department of Religious Affairs has
commissioned a team of theologians at Ankara University to carry out a
fundamental revision of the Hadith, the second most sacred text in
Islam after the Koran.
The Hadith is a collection of thousands of sayings reputed to come from the Prophet Muhammad.
As such, it is the principal guide for Muslims in interpreting
the Koran and the source of the vast majority of Islamic law, or
Sharia.
|
This is kind of akin to the Christian
Reformation. Not exactly the same, but... it's changing the theological
foundations of [the] religion
Fadi Hakura,
Turkey expert, Chatham House
|
But the Turkish state has come to see the Hadith as having an often
negative influence on a society it is in a hurry to modernise, and
believes it responsible for obscuring the original values of Islam.
It says that a significant number of the sayings were never
uttered by Muhammad, and even some that were need now to be
reinterpreted.
'Reformation'
Commentators say the very theology of Islam is being reinterpreted in order to effect a radical renewal of the religion.
Its supporters say the spirit of logic and reason inherent in
Islam at its foundation 1,400 years ago are being rediscovered. Some
believe it could represent the beginning of a reformation in the
religion.

Some messages ban women from travelling without their husband's permission... But this isn't a religious ban. It came about because it simply wasn't safe for a woman to travel alone
Prof Mehmet Gormez,
Hadith expert,
Department of Religious Affairs |
Turkish officials have been reticent about the revision of the
Hadith until now, aware of the controversy it is likely to cause among
traditionalist Muslims, but they have spoken to the BBC about the
project, and their ambitious aims for it.
The forensic examination of the Hadiths has taken place in Ankara University's School of Theology.
An adviser to the project, Felix Koerner, says some of the
sayings - also known individually as "hadiths" - can be shown to have
been invented hundreds of years after the Prophet Muhammad died, to
serve the purposes of contemporary society.
"Unfortunately you can even justify through alleged hadiths,
the Muslim - or pseudo-Muslim - practice of female genital mutilation,"
he says.
"You can find messages which say 'that is what the Prophet
ordered us to do'. But you can show historically how they came into
being, as influences from other cultures, that were then projected onto
Islamic tradition."
Many Hadiths relate to life in the Middle East 1,400 years ago and are no longer relevant Brian, London
The argument is that Islamic tradition has been gradually hijacked
by various - often conservative - cultures, seeking to use the religion
for various forms of social control.
Leaders of the Hadith project say successive generations have
embellished the text, attributing their political aims to the Prophet
Muhammad himself.
Revolutionary
Turkey is intent on sweeping away that "cultural baggage" and
returning to a form of Islam it claims accords with its original values
and those of the Prophet.
But this is where the revolutionary nature of the work becomes
apparent. Even some sayings accepted as being genuinely spoken by
Muhammad have been altered and reinterpreted.
Prof Mehmet Gormez, a senior official in the Department of
Religious Affairs and an expert on the Hadith, gives a telling example.
"There are some messages that ban women from travelling for
three days or more without their husband's permission and they are
genuine.
"But this isn't a religious ban. It came about because in the
Prophet's time it simply wasn't safe for a woman to travel alone like
that. But as time has passed, people have made permanent what was only
supposed to be a temporary ban for safety reasons."
The project justifies such bold interference in the 1,400-year-old content of the Hadith by rigorous academic research.
Prof Gormez points out that in another speech, the Prophet said
"he longed for the day when a woman might travel long distances alone".
So, he argues, it is clear what the Prophet's goal was.
Original spirit
Yet, until now, the ban has remained in the text, and helps to restrict the free movement of some Muslim women to this day.
|
There's also violence against women within families, including sexual harassment... This does not exist in Islam... we have to explain that to them
Hulya Koc, a "vaize" |
As part of its aggressive programme of renewal, Turkey has given
theological training to 450 women, and appointed them as senior imams
called "vaizes".
They have been given the task of explaining the original spirit of Islam to remote communities in Turkey's vast interior.
One of the women, Hulya Koc, looked out over a sea of
headscarves at a town meeting in central Turkey and told the women of
the equality, justice and human rights guaranteed by an accurate
interpretation of the Koran - one guided and confirmed by the revised
Hadith.
She says that, at the moment, Islam is being widely used to justify the violent suppression of women.
"There are honour killings," she explains.
"We hear that some women are being killed when they marry the wrong person or run away with someone they love.
"There's also violence against women within families, including
sexual harassment by uncles and others. This does not exist in Islam...
we have to explain that to them."
'New Islam'
According to Fadi Hakura, an expert on Turkey from Chatham House
in London, Turkey is doing nothing less than recreating Islam -
changing it from a religion whose rules must be obeyed, to one designed
to serve the needs of people in a modern secular democracy.
He says that to achieve it, the state is fashioning a new Islam.
"This is kind of akin to the Christian Reformation," he says.
"Not exactly the same, but if you think, it's changing the theological foundations of [the] religion. "
Fadi Hakura believes that until now secularist Turkey has been intent on creating a new politics for Islam.
Now, he says, "they are trying to fashion a new Islam."
Significantly, the "Ankara School" of theologians working on the
new Hadith have been using Western critical techniques and philosophy.
They have also taken an even bolder step - rejecting a
long-established rule of Muslim scholars that later (and often more
conservative) texts override earlier ones.
"You have to see them as a whole," says Fadi Hakura.
"You can't say, for example, that the verses of violence
override the verses of peace. This is used a lot in the Middle East,
this kind of ideology.
"I cannot impress enough how fundamental [this change] is."

The Hadith
|
|
Saheeh Muslim, Book 042, Number 7147
Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: Do not take down anything from me, and he who took down
anything from me except the Qur'an, he should efface that and narrate
from me, for there is no harm in it and he who attributed any falsehood
to me-and Hammam said: I think he also said:" deliberately" -he should
in fact find his abode in the Hell-Fire.
The Prophet (S) commanded, La taktabu ‘anni ghair-al-Qur’an; wa mun kataba ‘anni ghair-al-Qur’an falyamhah. (Write from me nothing but the Qur’an and if anyone has written, it must be obliterated.) - Saheeh Muslim, vol 1 pg 211 Hadith number 594, Printer Maktab a Adnan, Beirut 1967

What have they been waiting for?
An influential group of
Muslim theologians in India
have denounced terrorism, saying it is completely against the teachings of
Islam.
Their statements were made at
a meeting held at the Darul-Uloom Deoband, a powerful Islamic school more than
150 years old.
Scholars from 6,000 religious
schools attended the meeting.
The Deoband school promotes a
brand of Islam which some say was an inspiration to Afghanistan's Taleban.
The school has always denied
this 
Opening the conclave the head
of the Deoband school, Maulana Marghoobur Rahman, described terrorism as a
thoughtless act which is against the teachings of Islam.
He said that the killing of
innocent people of any religion was prohibited by the Koran, the Muslim Holy
Book.
Many participants said they
want to change popular perceptions in which, they say, terrorism is being
equated with Islam.
Others said that while
Muslims should not be harassed because of anti-terrorism operations, the
community also needed to be more introspective.
Many Islamic seminaries
across India
have come under the scanner of the federal authorities in the wake of recent
terror attacks.
Set up in 1866 in north India the Darul-Uloom Deoband is the most
influential Muslim religious school in south and south-east Asia.
