[Tamil I Am Kalam Download
Everardo Laboy
Some scholars state kalām was born out of the need to establish and defend the tenets of Islam against the philosophical doubters.[4][5] This picture has been questioned by scholarship that attempts to show that kalām was, in fact, a demonstrative rather than a dialectical[vague] science and was always intellectually creative.[6] It is also important to note that the definition of kalām has changed depending on the time and context and who it was used by.[4]
The term kalām means "speech", "word", or "utterance". There are many possible interpretations as to why this discipline was originally called so; one is that one of the widest controversies in this discipline, in the second and third centuries of Hijra, has been about whether the "Word of God" (Kalām Allāh), as revealed in the Quran, is an eternal attribute of God and therefore not created, or whether it is created words.[4][7]
Many definitions exist for Kalam. One definition is that "kalām is the science which is concerned with firmly establishing religious beliefs by adducing proofs and with banishing doubts".[9] Al-Farabi in his Iḥṣāʾ al-ʿulūm defined Kalam as "a science which enables a man to procure the victory of the dogmas and actions laid down by the Legislator of the religion, and to refute all opinions contradicting them".[9] A common synonym isʿilm al-tawḥīd meaning science of the Unity (of God).[9]
In early Islam, Ahl al-Kalām essentially referred to the Mu'tazilites, in addition to other smaller schools. Historian Daniel W. Brown describes Ahl al-Kalām as one of three main groups engaged in polemical disputes over sources of authority in Islamic law during the second century of Islam -- Ahl ar-Ra'y and Ahl al-Hadith being the other two. Ahl al-Kalām agreed with Ahl al-Hadith that the example of the Islamic prophet Muhammad was authoritative, but it did not believe it to be divine revelation, a status that only the Quran had (in its view).[12] It also rejected the authority of the hadith on the grounds that its corpus was "filled with contradictory, blasphemous, and absurd" reports, and that in jurisprudence, even the smallest doubt about a source was too much.[13] Thus, they believed, the true legacy of Muhammad was to be found elsewhere, i.e. in the sunnah, which is separate from the hadith. Ahl al-Hadith prevailed over the Ahl al-Kalām (and Muslims, or at least mainstream Muslims, now accept the authority of the hadith), so that most of what is known about their arguments comes from the writings of their opponents, such as Imam al-Shafi'i.[13] Brown also describes the Muʿtazila as "the later ahl al-Kalām", suggesting the ahl al-Kalām were forerunners of the Muʿtazilites.[14]
Later schools of Kalam like the Kullabis, Asharites and Matuiridis would develop systems that would defend the core orthodox creedal points of Islam completely on rational grounds, and were open to engaging in philosophy alongside the Quran and hadith.[7] This was unlike the Mutazilites, whose kalam instead prioritised reason over revelation to the point where the Quran and hadith would only be accepted if it aligned with their interpretation of rationalism.[15] The Hanbali school and followers of Ahmed Ibn Hanbal would generally avoid kalam and philosophical talk all together, seeing it as an innovation, and only address it out of necessity.[16]
There are several proposed reasons behind calling this discipline Ilm al-Kalam. One reason is that it gave the person well-versed in it power and strength in kalam, i.e. speech and discourse.[17] Another proposed reason is that the name originated from the habit of its scholars of starting the discussions in their books with "al-kalamu fi kadha".[17] Yet another reason is that people who were involved in this discipline discussed issues (and as such were involved in kalam about these issues) in which Ahl al-Hadith remained silent.[17] Other proposed reasons include that a mihna resulted from the discussion in this discipline of whether the Quran, which is regarded as the kalam of Allah, is created (makhluq) or not.[17]
Although seeking knowledge in Islam is considered a religious obligation, the study of kalam is considered by Muslim scholars to fall beyond the category of necessity and is usually the preserve of qualified scholars, eliciting limited interest from the masses or common people.[18]
Despite the dominance of kalam as an intellectual tradition within Islam, some scholars were critical of its use. For example, the Hanbali Sufi, Khwaja Abdullah Ansari wrote a treatise entitled Dhamm al-Kalam where he criticized the use of kalam where as the Shafii hadith scholar Al-Bayhaqi approved of it in the correct framework.[15]
As with most Persian cuisine, local and regional tastes, preferences and ingredients yield multiple versions of this dish. As I researched this recipe, I was quite surprised to see how many options there were to choose from. For this post, I have chosen to use fresh herbs and a specific combination of spices (Advieh in Farsi) that is associated with Shiraz.
As for the meatballs, most options have them layered inside the rice, giving them a fairly soft texture. I have opted for crisper meatballs by preparing them separately and serving them on top of the rice after it has been cooked. I have also seen cooks forego meatballs altogether and layer in sauteed ground meat that is seasoned with spices. A definite time-saving choice for those busy weeknights!
As you see, your options are endless which makes this dish a delight for the adventurous cook in the kitchen. A reason to explore and personalize the dish based on your tastes and the availability of ingredients.
Thank you for all great recipes! First time I checked this website about two years ago and since then I have tried Kalam polo, Albalo polo and khoresh bamie many times based on your recipes. I like that they are all well-detailed and honestly, it is the only Persian cuisine website on the internet that I can completely trust ?
About kalam polo I loved the taste of Advieh and the texture of cabbage and meatballs. The sabzi gives it an unforgettable heavenly smell.
Thank you and best wishes.
