Abstract: Islamo-Sanskrit Engagements under Aurangzeb

Islamo-Sanskrit Engagements under Aurangzeb: Exploring lesser-known interactions between Islamic and Sanskrit traditions in Mughal India during his reign Alamgir Aurangzeb - Representative Image Abstract At a time when the third Mughal emperor Akbar is celebrated for his promotion of ‘Mughal engagements with Sanskrit’, his great-grandson Aurangazeb is criticized for its ‘decline’. However, analyzing background socio-political milieu, a different historical perspective is found. Although the sixth ruler of South Asian Mughal Empire Muhi al-Din Muhammad Alamgir Aurangazeb (1658-1707) is arguably characterized by religious intolerance, oppression of non-Muslim communities, demolition and discretion of their places of worship, a realm of intellectual and cultural exchange between Islamic, Sanskritic and other Indic traditions remains relatively unexplored. The vilifying characterization of Auragazeb was touched off by the British colonialist ambitions which was carried on...

Responsibility vs Accountability towards the Poor and Vulnerable: Beyond Islamic Obligations

Representative Image - The manuscript is by Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi, a section from a larger body of work on Maliki Fiqh. MD SOHEL MONDAL & ANIKUL ISLAM Abstract In 2015, The UN adopted 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development that makes ‘No Poverty’ as the first of its seventeen oriented goals with a 15-year plan. The present year of 2023, as the call of SDGs at its halfway, however, shows a more grim picture - a groaning dismay of poverty. The pressing challenges faced by weaker sections like poverty, low productivity, illiteracy, malnutrition, depleting human capacity and increasing global disparity have engrossed all in an imperative attention to resolve a viable solution for a better and inclusive world, whereas Islam as an embodiment of revelation and reason forwards its unique curative paradigm. With this viewpoint, the research sketches out the pro-poor directions embedded in the Islamic frameworks that enigmatically provide various scopes for the poverty alle...

The Inheritance of Waqf in India: Relevance and Regulations in Muslim Community

Abstract India is one of the earliest countries having official Waqf documentation dated back to the earlier 13th century. Although corresponding to changing administrations over the time, this unparalleled 'pious, religious and charitable' system of 'permanent donation’ has come up deftly to serve the needs of time like refugee problems, rehabilitation, educational accessibility, etc. Almost all waqf possessions belong to past centuries, whereas new admission has decreased. However, the utility has been reshaped coping up with the socio-economic pace of new trends. After the Waqf Act, 1995, enacted by the Ministry of Minority Affairs, its provision and maintenance were passed to the government of India. Since then the waqf related activities are governed under the ambit of aforesaid act with occasional amendments bearing the same sense of ‘charity for society’ concept and being bridge between community and society; spirituality and materiality and man and nation.

Khawaja and Sufism: Manifestation of Sufi Islam in Distorted Times

Representative image Abstract The flamboyant spread of Islam across the Indian Subcontinent was not through military expeditions, as the mainstream historical narration goes, rather it was via the ecstatic attraction of Sufism and other non-violent processes. The Islamic fabric of Sufism, mixing with contemporary customs, has contributed to build a stronger cohesion of society. In contrast to the currently turmoil-torn atmosphere of North Indian states, this amicable tradition of syncretism has been boldly established in the historic track of Ajmer, Rajasthan, with the arrival of Khwaja Gareeb Nawaaz Moinuddin Chisti in the early 13th century. As far as, current social milieu is concerned, these regions erupt with fire of militant separatism, political ultra-nationalism, or sometimes with hatred of alienation and minority discrimination. However, the Dargah vicinity of Khwaja Sheikh Muin al-Din Chisti, popularly known as Gareeb Nawaz, stands as a resilient realm of interfaith dialogue,...

Values of a Supercentenarian

Representatives image While reading the world-famous narrative nonfiction book on how to live over century Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, co-authored by Spanish born Japanese expert Hector Garcia and journalist Francesc Miralles, I was ambiguously pushed to ponder whether these universal qualities still-practiced by the people of Okinawa reside inside me. Otherwise, I should have some other characteristics in substitution. I also learned that Ikigai (生き甲斐) or purposeful life-values are not something relative rather they are universally absolute and individually variable. Vividly, values of my life I adore by heart and mind and practice them, would be in accordance with the environment and society I live in. These will be Ikigai imperatives of our lives. I live with my parents, two elder sisters and a grand-mother in a thatched house. My father sustains our family with meagre income that he gets from his inherited...
