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
Liquid racism and the Danish Prophet Muhammad cartoons
No full textThis is the author's accepted manuscript. The final published article is available from the link below. Copyright @ 2010 The Author.This article examines reactions to the October 2005 publication of the Prophet Muhammad cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. It does so by using the concept of ‘liquid racism’. While the controversy arose because it is considered blasphemous by many Muslims to create images of the Prophet Muhammad, the article argues that the meaning of the cartoons is multidimensional, that their analysis is significantly more complex than most commentators acknowledge, and that this complexity can best be addressed via the concept of liquid racism. The article examines the liquidity of the cartoons in relation to four readings. These see the cartoons as: (1) a criticism of Islamic fundamentalism; (2) blasphemous images; (3) Islamophobic and racist; and (4) satire and a defence of freedom of speech. Finally, the relationship between postmodernity and the rise of fundamentalism is discussed because the cartoons, reactions to them, and Islamic fundamentalism, all contain an important postmodern dimension.ESR

My relationship with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
No full textGenerally the image of the Prophet Muhammad (s. a. w) is not presented properly. In this article he is introduced in his universal position. He (s. a. w) is presented as the Prophet towards whole mankind. Hence, it is argued everyone should give full attention to understand his role in life of people irrespective of religion, ethnicity and time
Modeling of NH3–NO–SCR reaction over CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor using artificial intelligence techniques
No full textComparative study of the artificial neural network and mechanistic model was carried out for NO removal in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor. The effects of temperature, superficial gas velocity and ammonia/nitric oxide ratio on the NO removal efficiency were determined and their optimum conditions were estimated by the experimental study, the artificial neural network and mechanistic models as well. The optimum values of ammonia/nitric oxide ratio, temperature and superficial gas velocity for the maximum NO removal efficiency were found to be 1.5, 300 degrees C and 0.098 m/s, respectively. A mechanistic model was implemented in our previous study [Muhammad F. Irfan, Sang Done Kim and Muhammad R. Usman, 2009] and it was found that this model fitted well only at specific condition i.e. maximum conversion temperature (300 degrees C). However, it failed to perfectly match with rest of the experimental data points at other temperatures and parametric conditions as well. To improve this, an artificial neural network modeling strategy was applied and its predictions were evaluated which were favorably matched with the experimental data rather than the mechanistic model.

Aplikasi Manhaj Deobandy oleh Muhammad Asri bin Yusoff dalam pengajaran hadith / Muhammad Firdaus Zabri
No full textThis research is aimed to evaluate whether the system of hadith studies by Muhammad Asri bin Yusoff is suitable to be applied and conforms to the system of study of Rasulullah PBUH and the companions previously. In this study, the researcher uses a qualitative approach that covers three methods. Firstly, the researcher conducting a study through the literature reviews of previous researches. Secondly, the researcher also interviewed several people including Muhammad Asri himself to get the clear picture of his lessons. Besides that, the researcher uses the "Focus Group Discussion" method in which a group discussion is created among those students who are taking the hadith classes with Muhammad Asri to discuss regarding the teaching methods used and evaluating the students‟ understanding of the hadiths that they have learned. The results of the study found that the way of the study of hadith by Muhammad Asri conforms to the way of studying the hadith practiced since the Rasulullah s.a.w. era and can be easily practiced according to the Malaysia‟s hadith studies contextual. In a nutshell, with this study it can help to improve the system of hadith studies especially in Malaysia
