ANALISA PEMIKIRAN MUHAMMAD MUSTAFA AL-A‘ZAMI TERHADAP KRITIK IGNAZ GOLDZIHER TENTANG SEJARAH KODIFIKASI HADIS
No full textThe treasures of Islamic scholarship have made hadith a source of law that is highly respected by Muslims. This is not without controversy from various parties, for example in the criticism of orientalists who study hadith with various backgrounds and perspectives, ranging from objective to negative or skeptical tendencies. The historical problems of hadith are a major issue in the study of modern hadith. This paper discusses the orientalist Ignaz Goldziher who doubts the authenticity of hadith. He offers a methodology of historical criticism to justify the accusations made in dropping the existence of hadith. The persistence of the orientalists in criticizing hadith then received a response from the Muslim scholar, Muhammad Mus}tafā al-A‘zami>. He is one of the hadith scholars who has been vigorous in refuting the skeptical orientalist theories by providing criticism and rectifying the views that have so far tried to distort the history of hadith.
Broadly speaking. the skeptical views put forward by orientalist Ignaz Goldziher, among others. First, most of the hadiths are the result of Islamic developments in the political and social fields. Second, the distance between the Prophet's time and the codification of hadith is more than 100 years adrift, during which time the scholars falsified hadith. Third, forgery on a large scale occured during the Umayyad period.
This thesis aims to find out how the theory developed by Ignaz Goldziher and the rebuttal from Al-A`zamī and how the analysis developed by the author of Al-A`zamī's thoughts. This type of research is based on qualitativelibrary research (literature review). While the methodological step uses a descriptive-analytic approach, which means the author describes several theories offered by Ignaz Goldziher regarding the history of hadith codification, followed by a rebuttal brought by Al-A`zamī. Finally, the author analyzes Al-A`zamī's thoughts on Ignaz Goldziher. From several accusations and rebuttals from the two figures, the author analyzes Al-A`zamī's thoughts on Goldziher's criticism, including: First, all criticisms raised by Goldziher were successfully refuted by Al-A`zamī. Second, even though some of these refutations are personal analysis which means they are not completely accurate, the criticism made by Al-A`zamī shows more rational research and reasoning using scientific logic than the research conducted by Ignaz Goldziher which seems perfunctory. From these results, the authors argue that Ignaz Goldziher's criticism of doubting the authenticity of hadith cannot undermine the position of hadith as a second source of law

Ignaz Semmelweis, the Saviour of Mothers
No full textThe author describes the life of the most important Hungarian physicians, Ignaz Semmelweis, the circumstances surrounding his death, the story of his discovery, and reactions by his contemporaries and the next generations. He focuses on the historical, intellectual and scientific historical relations that paved the way for Semmelweis’s thesis, its proof and its acceptance. In the opinion of posterity Semmelweis was an excellent researcher and a great humanitarian, who fought for others’ lives until his death without sparing his own health. His tragic fate was raised to heroic heights by the fact that he did not live to see the practical use of his life-saving discovery, and even his death was caused directly by the very disease he had described and identified a prevention for
An Introduction to Ignaz Edler von Born and His Article Concerning the Mysteries of the Egyptians
No full textAlthough well known during his own lifetime as a scientist, author, and promoter of Enlightenment ideals, Ignaz Edler von Born also made a significant impact in his less public life as a Freemason. In 1784 he was both Meister vom Stuhl of the Masonic Lodge Zur wahren Eintracht and editor in chief of the Journal fur Freymaurer, published quarterly for just three years by Christian Friedrich Wappler in Vienna. In its very first issue, Born, under the initials I.v.B.M.v.St., Ignaz von Born, Meister vom Stuhl, contributed an article important to the Freemasons titled Ueber die Mysterien der Aegyptier: In the subsequent volumes, he made further contributions, including articles on the mysteries of the ancient Hebrews, the mysteries of the ancient inhabitants of India, and others. Nonetheless, his article on Egyptian mysteries remained his most influential article in the journal. Since his lifelong ambition to found an academy of science would not be realized during his life, he promoted scientific research and encouraged the publication of the results in his journal
The dervish's disciple: on the personality and intellectual milieu of the young Ignaz Goldziher
No full textWhen theTagebuchof Ignaz Goldziher (1850–1921) was published in 1978, it was widely expected that the work would prove to be a mine of information on the life and career of its celebrated author. What was not expected was that so much of this information should consist of bitter criticism and empassioned invective directed against leading personalities in the social and intellectual circles of Budapest and Hungary, particularly in the Jewish community of which Goldziher himself was a leading member. The contrast between the image of the dispassionate and meticulous researcher presented to the public in so many of Goldziher's seminal studies on the religion and culture of Islam, and that of the outraged and sorrowing diarist manifest in theTagebuch, was most striking.</jats:p
The Near East study tour diary of Ignaz Goldziher
No full textIgnaz Goldziher (1850–1921) is generally acknowledged as the scholar whose work to a great extent laid the modern foundations for the study in the West of the history, culture, and religion of Islam. Issues of considerable significance are thus posed by questions concerning the individual responsible for this seminal scholarship, including, for example, such matters as his personal background, the influences that directed the course of his intellectual development, and the perspective from which he viewed the discipline he did so much to create and to which he dedicated his life. Fortunately, much material relevant to the investigation of these topics survives. In addition to Goldziher's vast scholarly corpus, important collections of his correspondence with colleagues and friends are extant, primarily in Budapest. The material published to date includes Goldziher's letters to Immanuel Löw (1854–1944), a discussion – with important extracts – of those to S. A. Poznanski (1864–1921), the letters of Solomon Schechter (1849–1915), Max Nordau (1849–1923) and Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (1857–1936) to Goldziher, and a selection from the correspondence between Theodor Nöldeke (1836–1930) and Goldziher. His 1890 memoirs and subsequent diary have also been published, and Raphael Patai has now brought to light another important document, Goldziher'sKeleti Naplóm(“My Oriental Diary”), in English translation with a detailed introduction offering a psychological portrait of the author.</jats:p
Considerations on the historic context surrounding the publications attributed to Denis &amp; Schiffermüller
No full textIn the second half of the 18th century, the influential Jesuit college named Theresianum ran an educational and scientific project for working systematically on the Lepidoptera occurring in the vicinity of Vienna, Austria. The teachers of the college prepared a document under the title “Ankündung eines systematischen Werkes von den Schmetterlingen der Wienergegend”, with the aim of informing the ecclesiastical and secular authorities about the goal of the enterprise. On the board of the Theresianum there were several Jesuits, who later were considered authorities concerning Lepidoptera, namely: Michael Denis SJ, Sigismund Hohenwart SJ, Ludwig Mitterpacher SJ, Matthias Piller SJ, and Ignaz Schiffermüller SJ. They were acknowledged by Lepidoptera patronyms in the “Ankündung”, which suggests that they may have been involved in this project. This “Ankündung” was mentioned in the book “Versuch eines Farbensystems” in 1771, which was authored by Ignaz Schiffermüller. Also from this book, it can be postulated that Ignaz Schiffermüller regarded himself as a responsible author or editor of the “Ankündung”. Printing of the “Ankündung” was delayed for unspecified reasons, the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773 may have been one of them. Subsequently, Ignaz Schiffermüller managed to circulate a limited number of copies of the “Ankündung” in 1775, and then the same document appeared before a wider audience under the new title “Systematisches Verzeichniss der Schmetterlinge der Wienergegend” in 1776. Both these publications were at the time and ever since attributed to Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller, because some subsequent citations considered these two Jesuits as the principal authors
