Iman E Mufassal And Mujmal Pdf Download
Leida Haury
Dear sir, I have found that Muslims in South Asia, especially Pakistan and Bangladesh but including India, all memorize two phrases called "al-iman al-mujmal" and "al-iman al-mufassal" as well as the "six kalimahs." The first Iman is:امَنْتُ بِاللهِ كَمَا هُوَ بِاَسْمَائِه وَصِفَاتِه وَقَبِلْتُ جَمِيْعَ اَحْكَامِه وَاَرْكَانِهthe second is: امَنْتُ بِاللهِ وَمَلئِكَتِه وَكُتُبِه وَرَسُوْلِه وَالْيَوْمِ الْاخِرِ وَالْقَدْرِ خَيْرِه وَشَرِّه مِنَ اللهِ تَعَالى وَالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَالْمَوْتِand the kalimahs are kalima-e tayyiba, kalima-e shahada, kalima-e radd kufr, kalima-e tamjid, kalima-e tawhid, and a sixth that I forget.
So do you know how I could find out when and where these distinctions came from, or any suggestions for where to look to understand why in India they use the six kalimas (with the iman mujmal and iman mufassal) which are not used in Iran, Arabia, or Turkestan? Sorry to keep asking but I think it's important to know the origins of the various worldwide practices of Islam to understand them in their historical context.
Thank you.Of course the ultimate origin for the concepts of these statements is in the Quran and the Sunnah. I am looking for specific information about when, where, and why these specific six ones are recited together with the iman-e mujmal and iman-e mufassal. They appear to be specific to South Asia, at earliest dated to the reign of Akbar the Mughal, and why that is the case is what I am trying to find out. I mean, does any book of hadith record "amantu bi-l-lahi kama huwa bi-asma'ihi wa-sifaatihi wa qabiltu jamiia ahkaamihi wa-arkaanihi" and describe it as al-imaan mujammalan, paired with "amantu bi-l-laahi wa-malaa'ikatihi wa-kutubihi wa-rusulihi wa-l-yawm al-aakhir khayrihi wa-sharrihi min allahi taaala wa-l-bathi bada al-mawt" described as al-imaan mufassalan? I really think we should try to get to the bottom of this for the sake of better understanding the history of Islam.
Assalam o alaikum wa rehmatallah wa barqatahuThough I am not really a scholar with a good knowledge of these beliefs but logically, when Islam was introduced in South Asia, this region was already following polytheist belief which was difficult to be changed to monotheist belief of Islam. So, to deal with this challenge it was first necessary to make people understand the basic concepts before they could know more about the essence of Islam.Hence the scholars compiled the 6 kalimahs as one Arabic qaidah and added iman e mujmal and iman e mufassal. This was introduced as part of the curriculum in madarsahs to teach and make understand the basic belief. Again, I don't guarantee the authenticity of this explanation but this is just based on the historical trend of Islam in South Asia. And Allah knows best. I seek forgiveness from Him for anything ill said.It is sad that people simply mug up the kalimahs, ayats, surahs and duah without understanding the true meaning. Even salat is performed just as an act and not really feeling the sprituality from within. May Allah guide us all to the right path. AMEEN
As-Salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh I have recently come across the terms 'iman-e-mufassil and iman-e-mujmal'. I am not familiar with these terms and could not find them in any of the familiar Islamic sites or islam-qa. I did find the exact spelling here -quranlearning.com/iman.asp and again the phrases are unfamiliar. QUOTE Iman-e-Mufassil and Iman-e-Mujmal IMAN-E-MUJMAL (The Summary Declaration of Faith) I have faith in Allah as He is known by His Names and attributes and I accept all His commands. IMAN-E-MUFASSIL (The Detailed Declaration of Faith) I have faith in Allah and His Angels, His Books and His Messengers, and the Day of Judgement and that all good and evil and fate is from Almighty Allah and it is sure that there will be resurrection after death ** Please do you have any advise regarding the use of these terms? The actual meaning seems fine but it is just the combination of the phrases used as a declaration. It is a well known declaration to some apparently but why is it so difficult to find? JazakumAllahu khairan
