Muhammad Kisoki
Muhammad Dan Abdullahi, known as Muhammad Kisoki, was the Sultan of Kano from 1509 until his death in 1565. His 56-year reign is the longest of the state's Rumfawa era. Under his leadership, Kano reached the zenith of its influence, achieving full independence and gaining suzerainty over the Seven Hausa States. He also launched an expedition into Bornu and was able to decisively repel a reprisal attack by the Mai. In doing this, he dissolved the suzerainty that had been established decades earlier in the reign of Abdullahi Burja. He solidified his power in Kano by strategically promoting his kinsmen into powerful positions and was able to appropriate power from the Kano Council. His reign also saw the continued influx of scholars from neighboring Kingdoms and the construction of multiple mosques and schools throughout Kano, further establishing the state as a learning center. Kisoki's death created a power vacuum that marked the beginning of the First Kanoan Civil War. Early ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mudawana
The ''Mudawana Ousra'' (or ''Moudawana Ousra'', ar, المدوّنة, lit=code), short for ''mudawwanat al-aḥwāl al-ousaria-shakhṣiyyah'' (, ), is the personal status code, also known as the family code, in Moroccan law. It concerns issues related to the family, including the regulation of marriage, polygamy, divorce, inheritance, and child custody. Originally based on the Maliki school of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence, it was codified after the country gained independence from France in 1956. Its most recent revision, passed by the Moroccan parliament in 2004, was praised by human rights activists for its measures to address women's rights and gender equality within an Islamic legal framework. Although there were calls for reform to the family law in the 1960s and 1970s, its religious origins made amending it a challenge, and no serious movement for reform emerged until the 1980s. As a result of newly created civil society organizations, including many women's organizatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kano Chronicle
The ''Kano Chronicle'' (''Tarikh arbab hadha al-balad al-musamma Kano'' in Arabic) is an Arabic-language manuscript that lists the rulers of Kano. Summary The ''Kano Chronicle'' is a list of rulers of Kano stretching back to the 10th century AD. It tells of eleven clans of animists (such as salt extractors, brewers, or smiths) who were warned by their spiritual leader that a stranger would come and cut down their sacred tree and wrest their dominion from them: “If he comes not in your time, assuredly he will come in the time of your children, and will conquer all in this country” (Palmer 1928: III: 98). Indeed, a man named Bagauda arrived soon after, conquered, and became the first king of Kano according to the chronicle (Palmer 1928: III: 97-100). Authorship The existing ''Kano Chronicle'' was probably written in the 1880s by Malam Barka, a ''Dan Rimi'' (high-ranking slave official) who worked for Muhammad Bello, the ''Sarkin Kano'' (ruler of Kano) who reigned from 1882– ...

Qadi
A qāḍī ( ar, قاضي, Qāḍī; otherwise transliterated as qazi, cadi, kadi, or kazi) is the magistrate or judge of a '' sharīʿa'' court, who also exercises extrajudicial functions such as mediation, guardianship over orphans and minors, and supervision and auditing of public works. History The term ''qāḍī'' was in use from the time of Muhammad during the early history of Islam, and remained the term used for judges throughout Islamic history and the period of the caliphates. While the '' muftī'' and '' fuqaha'' played the role in elucidation of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (''Uṣūl al-Fiqh'') and the Islamic law (''sharīʿa''), the ''qāḍī'' remained the key person ensuring the establishment of justice on the basis of these very laws and rules. Thus, the ''qāḍī'' was chosen from amongst those who had mastered the sciences of jurisprudence and law. The Abbasid caliphs created the office of "chief ''qāḍī''" (''qāḍī al-quḍāh''), who ...

Al-Shifa Bi Ta'rif Huquq Al-Mustafa
''Al-Shifa bi Ta'rif Huquq al-Mustafa'', ( ar, الشفا بتعريف حقوق المصطفى, ''The Remedy by the Recognition of the Rights of the Chosen One uhammad ﷺ'), of Qadi Ayyad (d. 544H / 1149CE) is perhaps the most frequently used and commented upon handbook in which Muhammad's ﷺ life, his qualities and his miracles are described in every detail. Generally known by its short title, ''ash-Shifa'' or ''al-Shifa'' (''The Healing''), this work was so highly admired throughout the Muslim world that it soon acquired a sanctity of its own, for it is said, "If ''al-Shifa'' is found in a house, this house will not suffer any harm... when a sick person reads it or it is recited to him, Allah ﷻ will restore his health." ''Ash-Shifa'' remains one of the most commentated books of Islam after the ''Sahih's'' of Muhammad al-Bukhari and Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj. Commentaries and partial explanations written on ''al-Shifa'' include: * ''Majlis fi khatmi Kitab al-Shifa' bi taʿrif hu ...
