The Islamic Empires of India: The History of the Muslim Dynasties that Ruled India Before the Britis

India has been the location of many different empires throughout its long history. The Indus Valley Civilization was home to one of the world’s first civilizations more than 5,000 years ago, and despite India’s tradition of cultural and political pluralism, several rulers attempted to place the entire Sub-Continent under the rule of one dynasty or government with a dominant religion. Most of these would-be rulers were far from successful, although a few came close, setting the template for later conquerors. The religion of Islam had entered India centuries earlier through merchants and missionaries, but, in the 10th century, warrior bands of Muslims began establishing themselves permanently in what is today Pakistan. From their permanent strongholds, these Muslim warriors of Turkish descent raided northern India, eventually capturing the city of Delhi and establishing what would become the Delhi Sultanate. The Delhi Sultanate was comprised of five dynasties that expanded their borders, and Islam, at sword point, but also through diplomacy and trade. The Delhi Sultanate became known as a state that welcomed the expertise of foreigners, no matter their religion, and promoted the welfare of its citizens through a host of social programs. Eventually, the Delhi Sultanate grafted ideas and inspiration from India’s pre-Islamic past with those of Islam to create a state that was quite unique and powerful. The Mughals, a group with Turkish and Mongolian roots, used gunpowder weapons to sweep into northern India, topple the existing Islamic dynasty in Delhi, and eventually subject most of India to their rule. The term “gunpowder empire” was originally coined by Russian scholar V. V. Bartold and popularized by American historians William McNeil and Marshall Hodgson in the mid-20th century to describe the Islamic Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires, which they claimed came to power through gunpowder.

The Muslim Difference: Defining the Line between Believers and Unbelievers from Early Islam to the P

A sweeping history of Muslim identity from its origins in late antiquity to the present How did Muslims across time and place define the line between themselves and their neighbors? Youshaa Patel explores why the Prophet Muhammad first advised his followers to emulate Christians and Jews, but then allegedly reversed course, urging them to 'be different!' He details how subsequent generations of Muslim scholars canonized the Prophet's admonition into an influential doctrine against imitation that enjoined ordinary believers to embody and display their religious difference in public life. Tracing this Islamic discourse from its origins in Arabia to Mamluk and Ottoman Damascus, colonial Egypt, and beyond, this sweeping intellectual and social history offers a panoramic view of Muslim identity, revealing unexpected intersections between religion and other markers of difference across ethnicity, gender, and status. Patel illustrates that contemporary debates in the West over visible expressions of Islam, from headscarves and beards to minarets and mosques, are just the latest iterations in a long history of how small differences have defined Muslim interreligious encounters.

The Faith of Islam

To the discerning few it is evident that Mohammed had a knowledge of that secret doctrine which must needs constitute the core of every great philosophical, religious, or ethical institution. Through one of four possible avenues Mohammed may have contacted the ancient Mystery teachings: (1) through direct contact with the Great School in the invisible world; (2) through the Nestorian Christian monks; (3) through the mysterious holy man who appeared and disappeared at frequent intervals during the period in which the suras of the Koran were revealed; (4) through a decadent school already existing in Arabia, which school in spite of its lapse into idolatry still retained the secrets of the Ancient Wisdom cult. The arcana of Islam may yet be demonstrated to have been directly founded upon the ancient pagan Mysteries performed at the Caaba centuries before the birth of the Prophet; in fact it is generally admitted that many of the ceremonials now embodied in the Islamic Mysteries are survivals of pagan Arabia.

[German] - Die Wahrheit über den Mahdi | Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

Vorstellungen eines Kampfes zwischen den Kräften des Bösen und einem Erlöser der Menschheit sind in vielen Religionen und Kulturen vorzufinden. Im Islam sind diese verbunden mit der Auffassung der Niederkunft eines Mahdis, einer von Gott rechtgeleiteten heiligen Persönlichkeit, die dem Islam zum Sieg über alle anderen Glaubensauffassungen verhelfen wird. Strittig ist jedoch, auf welche Weise dies geschehen wird; wird der Mahdi den Islam mit Gewalt zur weltweiten Dominanz verhelfen oder aber wird der Triumph des Islam ein geistiger und spiritueller sein?

[German] - Der Rückblick | Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

Der Islam ist heutzutage in hunderten von Gruppierungen unterteilt, die alle eine eigene Auslegung der islamischen Quellen vornehmen, weswegen teils deutliche Differenzen in den Lehren zutage treten. Oftmals liegt es daran, dass die Quellen des Islam, der Heilige Koran sowie die Aussprüche und die Praxis des Heiligen Propheten Muhammad (saw), unterschiedlich gewichtet werden. Der Autor dieses Essays legt in wenigen Worten einige grundlegende Richtlinien vor, wie die Quellen der islamischen Tradition gewichtet werden sollten.

[German] - Die Segnungen des Gebetes | Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

Die Segnungen des Gebetes, geschrieben vom Verheißenen Messias (as) im Jahr 1893, ist eine Widerlegung der Ansicht von Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan, dass es so etwas wie die Annahme des Gebets nicht gibt und dass das Gebet nur eine Form der Anbetung ist. Der Verheißene Messias (as) weist diese Ansicht zurück und verkündet, dass Allah die Bitten der Gläubigen, die in Demut und Aufrichtigkeit vorgebracht werden, erhört und annimmt, und dass die Annahme des Gebets eine eigene Kette von Ursachen in Gang setzt, die in der Erfüllung des gebeteten Ziels gipfelt.Im zweiten Teil des Buches, der sich mit Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khans anderem Buch über die Grundsätze der Kommentierung des Heiligen Korans befasst, stellt der Verheißene Messias (as) seine Kriterien oder Leitprinzipien für die korrekte Auslegung des Heiligen Koran vor.
