Ref’ul-Hitam ‘An Vakfi Hamza Ve Hişâm (Molla Gürânî’nin Ref’ul-Hitam ‘An Vakfi Hamza Ve Hişâm adlı eserinin edisyon kritiği)
No full textBu tezde öncelikle Osmanlı devrinin büyük ulemalarından Molla Gürânî’nin hayatı kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alındı. Müellifin ilmi yolculuğuna başlamasından itibaren gittiği yerler, karşılaştığı zorluklar, istifade ettiği tarihi kişilikler, Osmanlı diyarına gelme sebebi, Anadolu topraklarında ilmi hayata kattığı değer ve Fatih Sultan Mehmed üzerindeki derin etkisi ile fetihteki rolüne değinildi. O dönemde Anadolu’da ki ilmi ve siyasi durum ile Molla Gürânî’nin Anadolu’da yapmış olduğu vakıflar, telif ettiği eserler, yetiştirdiği ilim adamları ve devlet yönetiminde ki faaliyetlerine de değinildi.Daha sonra ise “Ref’ul-Hitam ‘an Vakfi Hamza ve Hişâm” adlı eserin matbu yazımı yapılarak Süleymaniye/ Lâleli no.57/ 2, Süleymaniye/ Bağdatlı Vehbi no.27 ile Bayezid Umumi no.145 numaralarında bulunan üç farklı el yazması nüsha üzerinden tahkiki yapılmaya çalışıldı.Ehlince malumdur ki kıraat alanındaki en zor konuların başında hemzeli kelimelerin üzerindeki vakıf konusu gelmektedir. Buda hemzeli kelimelerde hemzenin kelimenin ortasında veya sonunda gelmesi, hemzenin öncesinde veya sonrasında bulunan harekeye göre resmi hattı ve bunlara bağlı olarak vakıf halinde ortaya çıkacak olan farklı kıraat vecihleri gibi konuları kapsamaktadır.Müellif kendisinin dahi anlamakta ve bir şeyler ortaya koyabilmekte zorlandığı bu mühim meseleye katkı sunmak maksadıyla ciddi bir çalışma içerisine girişmiştir. Eser de Hamza ve Hişam hazretlerinin ele alınma sebebi hemzeli kelimelerde vakıf halinde en fazla farklı kıraat vechine sahip bu iki imamın olması açısındandır. Müellif, Veliyyullah eş-Şatıbî’nin ‘şatıbiyye’ ismiyle şöhret bulmuş manzum ve ölümsüz eserinin, mütevatir kıraat imamlarından Hamza ve Hişam’ın hemzeli kelimelerdeki vakıf halinde ortaya çıkan farklı kıraat vecihlerini ortaya koyan 234. beytten başlayaraki254. beyite kadar tek tek ele almış ve kelamını bu manzum eserin ilgili kısmına bir şerh olarak getirmiştir.Beyitleri açıklarken izahata girişmiş ve Ca’beri (ö. 732/ 1332), Sibeveyh (ö. 180/ 796), Yunus (ö. 182/ 798) ve Ebu’l-iz el-Vasiti gibi arap dil âlimlerinden de şahitler getirmiştir. Her beyti açıklarken ayetlerin o meseleye örnek olabilecek kelimelerini almış, ayetleri bütün halinde vermemiştir. Bu manada birçok örnekleme yapmıştır. Ancak yer yer ismini zikrettiğimiz âlimleri reddettiği ve eleştirdiği yerlerde bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca en ağır eleştirilerini kıraat alanında ittifakla otorite kabul edilen Muhammed b. Cezeri’ye getirdiğini görmekteyiz.Müellif eleştirilerini getirirken meseleyi sadece reddetmekle kalmayarak delilini de ortaya koymaktadır. Eleştirilerini delille desteklemiş olması tam olarak ilim ehlinden beklenen bir durumdur ve ele aldığı meseleye vukufiyetini göstermesi açısından önemlidir. Yine kadim ulemamızın bu alana vermiş olduğu büyük değeri de ortaya koymaktadır.Bizde bu çalışmayı yaparken, zor bir konu olan hemzeli kelimelerin vakıf meselesinde son derece değerli bir yere sahip olan bu yazma eseri ilim dünyasının istifadesine sunmak üzere yola çıktık.In this thesis, firstly the life of Molla Gürânî, one of the great scholars of the Ottoman period, was discussed in detail. The places where the author went from the beginning of his scientific journey, the difficulties he faced, the historical personalities he benefited, the reason for coming to the Ottoman land, the value he brought to scientific life in Anatolia and his deep influence on Fatih Sultan Mehmed were mentioned. At that time, the scientific and political situation in Anatolia, Molla Gürânî's foundations in Anatolia, the works that he copyrighted, the scientists raised and the state administration activities were also mentioned.Afterwards, “Ref'ul-Hitam ‘an Vakfi Hamza and Hişâm were printed and published in three different manuscripts in Süleymaniye/ Lâleli no.57/ 2, Süleymaniye/ Bağdatlı Vehbi no.27 and Bayezid Umumi no.145. an attempt was made to verify.It is well-known by the competent that the most difficult issues in the field of Quran recitation is the subject of the foundation on the words of the cross. This includes issues such as the presence or absence of the hemze in the words, the official line according to the movement before or after the hemze and the different aspects of the Quran which will emerge as a foundation.The author undertook a serious effort to contribute to this important issue, which he himself had difficulty understanding and presenting. The reason why Hamza and Hisham are handled in the work is the fact that these two imams have the most different Quranic verses in the form of foundations in the words of the same. The author, Veliyyullah eş-Shatibiyye's 'şatıbiyye' has found fame with the name of verse and immortal work, Hamza and Hisham of the imam of the verse and the immortal work of Hamza and Hisham emerged in the form of words in the verse of the verse from the 234th couplet until the 254th and the verse as a commentary. The verse has brought this verse as an annotation to the relevant part of the work.In explaining the couplets he proceeded to explain and brought witnesses from Arab language scholars such as Ca’beri, Sibeveyh, Yunus and Abu El-iz al-Vasiti. In explaining each couplet, he took the words of the verses that could be an example for that matter and did not give the verses in whole. In this sense, he made many samples. However, there are places where he rejects and criticizes the scholars whose names are mentioned. We also see that he brought his most severe criticism to Muhammad b. Cezire who is accepted authority by the alliance.While criticizing, the author not only rejects the matter but also reveals his evidence. The fact that he supported his critics with evidence is exactly what is expected of the scholars and is important in terms of demonstrating his knowledge of the issue he is addressing. It also reveals the great value that our ancient scholars have given to this area.While doing this study, we set out to present this writing, which has a very valuable place in the issue of foundation, which is a difficult issue, to the benefit of the scientific world
al-Misbāh fī al-Nahw By Nāsir al-Dīn al-Mutarrizī al-Nahwī (d. 610/1213) A Critical Edition of the Text with the Life History of the Author
No full textNāsir al-Dīn al-Mutarrizī al-Nahwī (d.610/1213) was one of the most renowned figures in the field of Arabic Grammar. He has left an indelible mark on the world of Arabic language and literature. He is also known as the successor of al-Zamakhsharī.
He wrote a number of books but his al-Misbāh fī al-Nahw gained prominence at a level that no other book in this field could claim to achieve. For this reason, a great number of commentaries have been written in every age, of which the most famous are al-Daw and Khulāsat al-I‘rāb written by Tāj al-Dīn al-Isfrā’īnī and ‘Abd al- Karīm al-Tūsī (better known as Hājjī Bābā) respectively. Moreover, its translation into other languages also demonstrates its value as a useful book.
Although al-Misbāh has been edited on more than one occasion, the published editions do not fulfil the needs and requirements of modern academic research criteria. The basic aim of this thesis is to present this book with a current modern research style so that the students, teachers and ordinary readers of Arabic language and literature may benefit from this work.
This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the life history of the author and his other works. A brief note of the environment under which he grew up (generally referred to as the ‘Seljuk’ period) is also included in this part.
The second part consists of a text edition that deals with the derivation (Takhrīj) of syntactical issues together with the differing opinions of grammarians on syntactical/grammatical issues. This part also proffers the idiomatic English translation of al-Misbāh
اردو صحافت کا انقلاب آفریں نمائندہ: روزنامہ "انقلاب" اور اس کا سیاسی کردار
No full textIn this article, the author analyzes the rise and fall of the daily Inqilāb, initiated in April 1927 and linked closely with vicissitudes of the ruling Unionist Party in the Punjab. It enjoyed the patronage of Allama Muhammad Iqbal besides material support by the Unionist Party. It was an exponent of Muslims’ political and administrative rights based on the demographics of the region. During the League and Unionist controversy, Inqilāb sided with the Unionists and consequently lost the goodwill and readership of the Muslims

Bricolage of a Concubine Society: Resisting a Colonial Order in The Handmaid’s Tale
No full textThis paper explores the tension between two competing discourses in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale: the dominant ideology upheld by the state and the counter-discourse articulated by the handmaids. The official discourse constructs a covertly colonized community in which individuals are confined to strictly defined roles and spaces. Focusing on the role of religious authority as part of the Ideological State Apparatuses, the paper examines how the theocratic system of Gilead perpetuates control and submission. At the same time, it investigates how the handmaids resist this oppressive order by forming an imagined community grounded in shared suffering, memory, and covert communication. The analysis draws on Michel Foucault’s theory of discourse, Louis Althusser’s concept of ideology, and Benedict Anderson’s notion of imagined communities to interpret how power and resistance operate within Gilead’s social hierarchy. Employing close textual analysis within a qualitative framework, this study demonstrates how language, ritual, and collective identity serve as both tools of domination and subversion in Atwood’s dystopian narrative
Current status and distribution of major RNA viruses infecting onion and garlic crops in Punjab, Pakistan
No full textOnion (Allium cepa L.) and garlic (Allium sativum L.) are significant bulbous vegetables well known for their kitchen and medicinal values across the globe including Pakistan. Allium crops are highly vulnerable to many notorious RNA viruses fit in different genera viz., Allexivirus, Potyvirus, Tospovirus and Carlavirus. These viruses are known to inflict colossal and havoc yield losses up to 50% in allium crops wherever they grown. The occurrence of allium viruses in Pakistan has already been reported, but in single crop and only a few studies describe their incidence and distribution. The study examined the current scenario and distribution of major RNA viruses infecting Allium crops in Punjab, Pakistan. Field surveys were carried out in 14 districts of Punjab province as well as capital territory Islamabad of Pakistan, for two consecutive growing seasons (2019 and 2020). The 3000 leaf samples collected, 1675 samples (Onion 791, Garlic 884) were found positive for RNA viruses by using specie specific DAS-ELISA and further confirmed through reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results revealed the presence of RNA viruses with overall disease incidence of 52.7% and the highest disease incidence was observed as Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV) 58% following Irish yellow spot virus (IYSV) 41.8% respectively in onion crop during 2019-2020. Similarly, in garlic crop overall disease incidence of RNA viruses was noticed as 58.9% and the highest disease incidence of OYDV was observed as 45%, following IYSV 32.4% and GarV-C 22.5% respectively during 2019-2020. Comparatively, disease incidence and geographical distribution of viruses was variable in surveyed regions of both crops during surveyed period, whereas OYDV and IYSV were most prevalent viruses infecting onion and garlic crops and GarV-C found only in garlic. The current study also concluded the importance to disseminate the information/awareness among the farmers regarding viral diseases and their management by using different strategies including use of resistant genotypes.Keywords: Allium crops; RNA viruses; ELISA; RT-PCR; Disease incidence; Virus distributio
