Abdul Shakoor
ʻAbd al-Shakūr (ALA-LC romanization of ar, عبد الشکور) is a male Muslim given name, built on the Arabic words '' ʻabd'' and ''al-Shakūr'', one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. It means "servant of the All-thankful". Because the Arabic letter corresponding to sh is a sun letter, the letter l of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Shakur'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd ash-Shakur''. Alternative transliterations include ''Abdul Shakoor'' and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation. It may refer to: *ʽAbd al-Shakur ibn Yusuf, Emir of Harar, Ethiopia, until 1782 *Muhammad ibn 'Ali 'Abd ash-Shakur, Emir of Harar, Ethiopia, until 1875 *'Abd Allah II ibn 'Ali 'Abd ash-Shakur (died 1930), Emir of Harar, Ethiopia, until 1887 *Abdul Shakoor Rashad (1921–2004), Afghan writer and scholar * Abdus Shakur (writer) (1941–2013), B ...

Abd (Arabic)
ʿAbd ( ar, عبد) is an Arabic word meaning one who is subordinated as a slave or a servant, and it means also to worship. The word can also be transliterated into English as 'Abd, where the apostrophe indicates the ayin, denoting a voiced pharyngeal fricative consonant or some reflex of it.

In his book, "Al-Maqsad Al-Asna fi Sharah Asma' Allahu al-Husna" (aka The best means in explaining Allah's Beautiful Names), Imam Al Ghazali translates al-Shakūr as "The One Who Expresses Thankfulness by rewarding bounteously". He goes on to say that al-Shakūr is "the One Who rewards trivial pious deeds with many grades, and the one who gives unlimited happiness in the life to come for activity during a limited period (in this life). The one who rewards the good deed with multiples of it is said to be thankful for that good deed, and the one who praises the performer of this good deed is also said to be thankful for it. If you consider multiple rewards (to be the criterion in this matter), then there can be no absolute al-Shakūr except God Most High, because His increase of the reward is not restricte ...

Names Of God In The Qur'an
Names of God in Islam ( ar, أَسْمَاءُ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ , "''Allah's Beautiful Names''") are names attributed to God in Islam by Muslims. While some names are only in the Quran, and others are only in the hadith, there are some names which appear in both.

Gerhard Böwering refers to Surah 1(17:110)as the ''locus classicus'' to which explicit lists of 99 names used to be attached in tafsir. A cluster of more than a dozen Divine epithets which are included in such lists is found in Surah 59. Sunni mystic Ibn Arabi surmised that the 99 names are "outward signs of the universe's inner mysteries".

Sun And Moon Letters
In Arabic and Maltese, the consonants are divided into two groups, called the sun letters or solar letters ( ar, حروف شمسية ', mt, konsonanti xemxin) and moon letters or lunar letters (Arabic: ', mt, konsonanti qamrin), based on whether they assimilate the letter ' ( ') of a preceding Arabic definite article ''al-'' (), which is an important general rule used in Arabic grammar. Phonetically, sun letters are ones pronounced as coronal consonants, and moon letters are ones pronounced as other consonants. These names come from the fact that the word for 'the sun', ', pronounced ''ash-shams'', assimilates the ', while the word for 'the moon', ', doesn't. This also applies to the Maltese language where they are written as ''ix-xemx'' and ''il-qamar''. Rule When followed by a sun letter, the of the Arabic definite article assimilates to the initial consonant of the following noun, resulting in a doubled consonant. For example, "the Nile" is pronounced , not . When ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
ʽAbd Al-Shakur Ibn Yusuf
Abd al-Shakur ibn Yusuf was Emir of Harar (1783–1794). He was the first Emir of Harar to give the neighboring Oromo gifts. He went to them in the first years of his reign, and brought with him bales of sheetings which he gave to the Jarso and Nole Oromo. He may have done this to free the way for salt and other goods which had to be brought through their territories. Another example of his efforts to "civilize" the Oromo was his construction of a shrine to the Baghdadi saint `Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani near the tomb of Sheikh Hussein, which lies to the south deep in the territory of the Oromo people. Emir Abd al-Shakur's attempts to reform the administrative system of Harar, by reintroducing the institutions of ''sijill'' and ''diwan'', is attested in a document dated to AD 1785/6.Ewald Wagner"Three Arabic Documents on the History of Harar" ''Journal of Ethiopian Studies'', 12 (1974), pp. 216-219 See also *List of emirs of Harar *Harar *Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani *Sheikh Hussein ...

Muhammad Ibn 'Ali 'Abd Ash-Shakur
Muhammad ibn 'Ali 'Abd ash-Shakur was the Oromo Emir of Harar, Ethiopia (1856–1875). In the oral traditions of the Harari, he was reviled for having entered in an ''ilman gosa'' (adoptive brotherhood) with the Bokku of the Ala Oromo. This alliance enabled him to usurp the throne 30 August 1856 and oppress his own people by devaluing the city's currency while extracting a special ''mahalaq al-Oromo'' or Oromo tax. Richard Pankhurst also notes that Emir Muhammad forbade his subjects from eating rice or dates, "declaring that they were suitable only for rulers." The native Harari appealed to khedive Isma'il of Egypt, who then directed Ra'uf Pasha, in command of the military expedition that had annexed Zeila and Berbera to Egypt in 1870, to march on Harar. Ra'uf Pasha occupied Harar October 1875, according to Trimingham, "without encountering any resistance except for some from the Oromo tribes. So ended the independence of the city-state of Harar after less than two centuries ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
