مولانا شکر اﷲ مبارکپوری

مولانا شکر اﷲ مبارک پوری
۲۴/مارچ کوایک ٹیلی گرام کے ذریعہ معلوم کرکے بڑا افسوس ہواکہ جمعیۃ علماء صوبۂ آگرہ کے صدر مولانا شکر اﷲ صاحب مبارک پوری طویل علالت کے بعد ۲۳/مارچ کو عالم فانی کی طرف رحلت فرماگئے۔ مولانا موصوف نہایت مخلص، عالم باعمل اور پُرجوش قومی کارکن تھے۔ردِّبدعات میں ہمیشہ پیش پیش رہتے تھے۔اپنی معاش کے لیے کپڑے کا کاروبار کرتے تھے۔اس لیے قومی کاموں میں بے دریغ اپنی جیب سے خرچ کرتے تھے۔ان کے مشاغل علمی اور عملی دونوں قسم کے تھے۔پرانی تعلیم کے بزرگ ہونے کے باوصف سیاسی سمجھ بوجھ اورمعاملہ فہمی میں وہ اپنے کسی ہم عصر سے کم نہ تھے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ آں مرحوم کو جنت الفردوس میں جگہ عطافرمائے اورپسماندگان کوصبرِ جمیل کی توفیق ارزاں ہوکہ سدارہے نام اﷲ کا! [اپریل۱۹۴۲ء]

 

Polemic Views about the Source of Qur’ān in Medieval Christian Writings with a Reflection upon Contemporary Orientalists: A Critical Review

Before the advent of Islam, there was a strong tradition of polemic writings both among the Jews and the Christians to prove the errors of adversary. But, after the advent of Islam in general, and the conquering of Roman / Byzantine empire by the Muslims in the era of Righteous Califate in specific, due to embracing Islam by a large number of local populace, the flux of Christian polemic writing was directed towards Islam. A number of polemic writings surfaced as a resort to keep their religion alive. These writings tried to belittle all basic concepts, beliefs, and creeds of Islam, and even the personality of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and the Holy Qur’ān. The contemporary orientalist polemic writers have claimed that there are several accounts originating from Jewish and Christian sources which tried to allegedly prove that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was instructed by Jewish or Christian scholars in the composition of Holy Qur’ān, and to support this claim, they not only point out to certain Jewish or Christian sources, but have parroted their arguments as well, with the similar motives. With this, they have attempted to discredit Islam by raising doubts about the origin of Qur’ān. But despite of their efforts the fact remains firm that the Qur’ān has a Divine origin and was revealed by Allah Ta‘ālā unto Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). In this regard, the purpose of this article is to analyze the medieval polemic writings, their motives, and their rumination by the orientalists of the contemporary age. A critical approach is adopted in this analytical, and historical study, using published authentic data and literature including academic books, research papers, periodicals, dictionaries and reliable web sites also.
