Pandangan ulama terhadap karya dan ketokohan Muhammad bin Ishaq
No full textMuhammad bin Ishaq or Ibn Ishaq is one of the most distinguished and prominent historian in the beginning of the Islamic historiography. He was the great pioneer in the systematic methodology of historiography. He tremendously brought the writings of Sirah and Maghazi to the highest position. His writings was at the meantime regarded as the primary source for the later historians. He was very learned and possessed the most outstanding ability especially in compiling information from various sources and his ability in arranging the compiled data. Thus these invaluable skills earned him as top historian compared to those of the earlier historians. His book on Kitab al-Mubtada’ wa al-Mabcath wa al-Maghazi mirrors his comprehensive understanding pertaining to the Sirah and Maghazi compared to the earlier writers and those of the same period. This was due to the fact that the particular book consisted of the history of the prophet in the preface and of the history of the companions which were beautifully arranged according to standard methodology of writing. Even though Ibn Ishaq received great criticisms from some of the Muhaddithin, his contributions and role played in developing the field of Islamic historiography were considered as one of the most undeniable fact when he obtained recognition from Muhammad bin Muslim al-Zuhri and Muhammad bin Idris al-Shafice. Since most of the hadith scholars were in favour of him, those allegations which question his authority need to be re-assesse

MUHAMMAD AND THE JEWS ACCORDING TO IBN ISHAQ
No full textThis paper examines the phenomenon of anti-Semitism in the Muslim world, shedding light on one component of the Islamic tradition, namely, the earliest extant biography of the Prophet Muhammad, the Sirat Rasul Allah, or The Life of the Prophet of God by Ibn Ishaq (d.767 CE.)</jats:p
A critical analysis of Christian responses to Islamic claims about the work of the Prophet Muhammad, ‘the Messenger of God’.
No full textThe aims of this study are to analyse critically the different Christian responses to the Islamic understanding of the work of Muhammad. Chapter one consists a short introduction leading to an appraisal of Muhammad which incorporates historical, hagiographal and Quranic source material, and in the light of relevant Christian and Muslim scholarship. The second chapter presents a summary critical analysis of Muhammad in Christian theological perspective, from 661 A.D. to modern times. Chapter three presents a critique of Christian responses to the Muslim allegations that the text of the Bible has been infected with corruption; and that Muhammad's advent and status are foretold in the unadulterated' scriptures, and in the Gospel of Barnabas. Chapter four examines the theological significance of the work of Muhammad for Christians. Thus, Jesus and Muhammad are critically assessed and contrasted in order to ascertain the importance, for Christians, of the Muslim claims in respect of Muhammad as ’the messenger of God’. Chapter five provides a critical evaluation of the various Christian responses to Muhammad. It is argued that many of the said responses have been entangled in myths and misperceptions which have severely distorted the true account of Muhammad's work. Consequently, many Christians have failed to appreciate the divine legitimacy of Muhammad's call to prophethood. Further, it is argued that Christians should accept that Muhammad is a genuine prophet, and the messenger of God. However, Muhammad's use of the power-structure in order to maintain Islam is in sharp contrast to Jesus’ decision to face the consequences of his ministry passively through faith in God. Accordingly, orthodox Christian belief in the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus provides another dimension to prophethood, where the messenger and the message become one, an identification which finds no parallel in Islam, and which, in the nature of the case, cannot find a parallel
Achieving business competitiveness through corporate social responsibility and dynamic capabilities: An empirical evidence from emerging economy
No full textThe automobile industry is adopting various processes, including innovation and dynamic capabilities, to foster economic growth and survival without negatively affecting the environment. This study investigates the indirect role of green innovation and environmental performance in the relationships of corporate social responsibility and dynamic capabilities with business competitiveness. Additionally, this research explores government support as a boundary condition in strengthening (or vice versa) the impact of dynamic capabilities and corporate social responsibility on green innovation. We used a self-administered survey questionnaire to collect data from 344 respondents in Pakistan's automobile industry. The structural equation modeling results revealed that green innovation and environmental performance act as mediators and government support strengthens dynamic capabilities and corporate social responsibility connection with green innovation. The theoretical and practical implications for practicing managers are thoroughly discussed
Conceptualizing and Measuring Multidimensional Green Brand Equity: Analyzing Antecedents and Consequences in Cross-Cultural Evaluation
No full textIn modern day’s lifestyle communities, the consumers may face challenges without propagation of multiple brands and their corollary on their livelihood. Consumer lives are framed and marked with the products that they use, allegory, names and true/false promises. As consumers are becoming ecological friendly and their stress for environmental friendly products and services increases, many firms have engrossed in introducing and endorsing sustainable products and services while endeavoring to reinforce their promise to sustainability. Organizations are allocating noteworthy resources to pursue higher brand equity; thus, the authors believe the industry-level implications by exploring how the introduction of eco-friendly products transform consumers’ attitudes towards brand. Brand equity, a strategic marketing asset, can provoke a welcoming and unique relationship that differentiates the bond between products and customers. Brand equity is taken as a fundamental marketing concept for practitioners and academicians to understand the net impact, mechanisms, and objectives of marketing campaigns. The academicians aspire to know what it means for an organization and how it can measure whereas practitioners are trying to gauge consumer buying behavior to increase in brand value. An essential countenance of brand equity is sustainability which emerges as a paramount impression for environmental concerns that firms cannot oversee. Many definitions, conceptualizations, and measurements of brand equity are available on the generic definition: an additional value provided by a brand to the product.
The plethora of studies indicated that brand equity is, an intangible asset, played a vital role in increasing overall performance and customer preferences, the next logical question would be: how can a firm offer environmental friendly brands and how it measures green brand equity? No systematic research is taken into consideration to develop a multidimensional green brand equity scale. Accordingly, this research enables an in-depth analysis for bringing contemporary linkage in scattered brand equity literature that has no prior history of sustainability inclusion as a key countenance. In doing so, we urge that sustainability dimension in brand equity can helpful in two perspectives: (1) firms can use this concept to trounce consumer cynicism about green attributes and brand’s functionality, and (2) it fills the significant flaws in current conceptualization of brand equity that can serve as an inspiration for theoretical soundness and its better development as measuring tool. We also advocate that brand equity concept should include sustainability paradigm other than marketing assets and stakeholder value.
This study offers an original, unique and validated scale of green brand equity through the systematic scale design process. The data is collected from 980 consumers of telecommunication and home appliances industries in Pakistan and Italy. The six-dimensional green brand equity scale consists of brand leadership, brans association, social influence, brand awareness, sustainability, and perceived quality. This multistep scale development study reveals that the green brand equity scale is generalizable, parsimonious, valid and reliable in different cultures. Additionally, this research also investigates the impact of country-of-origin, brand credibility and brand trust on green brand equity as well as its consequences in cross-cultural context. The hypothesized connections are examined using structural equation modeling method and indicated significant relationships.Nelle comunità di stile di vita di giorno moderna, i consumatori possono affrontare le sfide senza propagazione di varie marche e il loro corollario il loro sostentamento. vita dei consumatori sono incorniciate e contrassegnati con i prodotti che utilizzano, allegoria, nomi e vero / falso promesse. Mentre i consumatori stanno diventando ecologico amichevole e il loro sforzo per prodotti rispettosi dell'ambiente e servizi aumenta, molte aziende hanno assorto in introdurre e avallando prodotti e servizi sostenibili, mentre cercando di rafforzare la loro promessa di sostenibilità. Le organizzazioni stanno allocando le risorse notevoli per perseguire maggiore brand equity; in tal modo, gli autori ritengono che le implicazioni a livello industriale da esplorare come l'introduzione di prodotti eco-compatibili trasformare atteggiamenti dei consumatori nei confronti del marchio. Brand equity, un asset strategico di marketing, può provocare un rapporto accogliente e unico che differenzia il legame tra prodotti e clienti. Brand equity è considerato come un concetto di marketing fondamentale per i professionisti e accademici di comprendere l'impatto netto, i meccanismi e gli obiettivi delle campagne di marketing. Gli accademici aspirano a sapere cosa significa per un'organizzazione e come si può misurare, mentre gli operatori stanno cercando di valutare il comportamento di acquisto dei consumatori ad aumentare di valore del marchio. Un aspetto essenziale della brand equity è la sostenibilità, che emerge come un'impressione di primaria importanza per le questioni ambientali che le imprese non possono sorvegliare. Molte definizioni, concettualizzazioni, e misure di brand equity sono disponibili sulla definizione generica: un valore aggiunto fornito da un marchio al prodotto.
La pletora di studi ha indicato che il valore della marca è, un bene immateriale, ha svolto un ruolo essenziale per rafforzare le preferenze complessive prestazioni e dei clienti, la prossima domanda logica sarebbe: come può una società offrono marche a basso impatto ambientale e di come si misura il valore della marca verde? Nessuna ricerca sistematica è preso in considerazione per sviluppare una scala brand equity verde multidimensionale. Di conseguenza, questa ricerca consente un'analisi approfondita per portare il collegamento contemporaneo di dispersi letteratura brand equity che non ha storia precedente di inclusione sostenibilità come aspetto chiave. In tal modo, chiediamo che dimensione della sostenibilità nella brand equity può disponibile in due prospettive: (1) le imprese possono utilizzare questo concetto per trounce il cinismo dei consumatori sugli attributi verdi e la funzionalità del marchio, e (2) che riempie i difetti significativi corrente concettualizzazione di brand equity che può servire come fonte di ispirazione per la solidità teorica e il suo migliore sviluppo come strumento di misurazione. Inoltre sosteniamo che il concetto brand equity dovrebbe includere paradigma della sostenibilità diversa marketing beni e valore per gli stakeholder.

Ghayat al-amani and the life and times of al-Hadi Yahya b. al-Husayn: an introduction, newly edited text and translation with detailed annotation
No full textThe thesis is anchored upon a text extracted from an important 11th / 17th century Yemeni historical work. This text deals primarily with al-Hādī ilā 'I-Haqq, the founder of the Zaydī Imamate in the Yemen that lasted well over a thousand years. AI-Hādīs imamate, of considerable significance in itself, also coincides with one of the most turbulent periods of early Yemeni mediaeval history. The- edited Arabic text, with its accompanying apparatus criticus. Is to be found at the opposite end of this volume. The Introduction considers various aspects of Imam al-Hadī’s life, religious ideas and aspirations and matters directly connected with the edited text and the work of which it forms a part. Among the most important subjects discussed are the MSS used in the production of the edited text, the problem concerning the authorship of Ghāyat al-amānī and the relationship of the latter work to Anbā' al-zaman. A short biography of al-Hādī is provided, together with a treatment of the historical background to ai-Hādīs imamate. The introduction also describes the editorial method followed with regard to the text, and certain key personal names and toponyms are dealt with there. The method employed by the author of the Ghāyat is to record the events of any one year by Itself. I have translated one year at a time and then followed it by the annotations appertaining to it. It is hoped that by means of these annotations. (some of which through necessity are quite detailed ), the text will be better understood. The numerous personages, tribal names and toponyms are considered, as well as problems concerning points of chronology and various matters of historical and religious significance. Specific comment is made upon certain interesting terms or any unusual or striking vocabulary. The thesis concludes with maps, genealogical tables and a comprehensive bibliography
“A healthy outside starts from the inside”: A matter of sustainable consumption behavior in Italy and Pakistan
No full textThe aim of this research is to determine people's motives when purchasing organic food and how these motives are moderated by price sensitivity and ethical concerns in a cross-cultural setting. A highly structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from 673 Italian and 594 Pakistani consumers, using the convenience sampling technique. Based on the etic research approach, the measurement invariance tests were performed, and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that environmental concerns and health-consciousness are significant predictors of subjective norms and purchase attitudes among Italian consumers. Food safety concern proved the strongest predictor of purchase attitude and perceived behavioral control among Pakistani consumers. The results also confirm the moderating role of ethical concerns and price sensitivity in buying organic food in both cultures. In terms of originality, this study fills significant gaps in the literature, particularly regarding the roles of attitude, behavioral control, and subjective norms in consumer buying motives and purchasing intentions in cross-cultural studies but more importantly, the results validate that consumer concerns across the globe are related to the Sustainability Development Goals and the U.N. 2030 agenda, which aptly provides a blue print for the development and developmental goals and concerns across nations
