The origins of Sufism
In this revised version of \"The Origins of Sufism,\" with additional documentation, the article is rich in providing deep insights into the Qur'anic origins and tasawwuf and its manifestation during the Prophetic era. Citing several verses of the Qur'an, Shaykh Abu Bakr shows the subtle initial manifestation of tasawwuf in the lives of the Companions. The article is concerned with essentials of tasawwuf and it elaborates on how the remembrance of Allah (dhikru'Llah) and Sufi insistence of following the Path of the Messenger of Allah have remained the unchanging central foundations of Islamic tasawwuf. The article also points out some of the more significant errors in the understanding of tasawwuf by certain Orientalists.
Journal Article
Contributions to the understanding of deep excavations in stiff clay and stiffness anisotropy also pile shaft friction and sand-steel interfaces
Field monitoring of the Lion Yard deep excavation was carried out, concentrating mainly on one panel of the diaphragm wall. A back-analysis of the inferred bending moments in the wall showed the main uncertainties to lie in the choice of concrete model, the value of the concrete modulus, and the interpretation of scattered wall rotation data. Because of concrete cracking, the measured tensile rebar stresses were found to be unreliable and future monitoring should include compressive rebar stresses. Overall wall equilibrium was checked using prop load, earth pressure and wall rotation data, enabling the reliability of the measured earth pressures to be assessed. Detailed analysis of the wet concrete pressures in this and other walls led to the appreciation of the bi-linear distribution with depth. Numerical modelling of wall installation revealed the main mechanisms of load transfer, providing a convincing explanation for the observed large reductions in lateral stress accompanied by only small ground movements. Horizontal bender elements were used to measure the two anisotropic elastic shear moduli of Gault clay specimens, revealing strong stiffness anisotropy. Three static and two dynamic measurements were combined to deduce all 5 elastic stiffness parameters for the first time. All 3-parameter models of stiffness anisotropy in the literature were shown to be functions of the four cross-anisotropic parameters that control triaxial deformations. Relationships between drained and undrained elastic parameters were derived and a new graph introduced to show their limited values graphically. A new bender/extender element was produced that can be used to measure shear and constrained moduli over a common path with a single pair of transducers.
Dissertation
محمد رسول الرحمة : دراسة مستقاة من الوثائق
أزعم أن إعادة ترتيب السيرة النبوية تظهر الغاية التي يتوخاها الكاتب من وراء مؤلفه هذا، ثم إن الأسلوب، الذي يكتب به، ينزع إلى الإنشاء الأدبي والروائي، لكي يحقق دواعي التأثير عند القارئ والمتلقي. وقد كان الكاتب يترصد الجوانب العاطفية من السيرة النبوية ليعرضها بلغة أدبية عميقة تلج إلى حنايا النص، وتستخرج مكامن التأثير فيه، وهو بذلك يخرج عن الصورة التاريخية النمطية التي صنعها الاستشراق الذي كان مولعا بإظهار القسوة في السيرة النبوية تحريفا وافتعالا واقتطاعا للسياقات، ليصنع درعا من الأوهام حول العقل الغربي يحول به دون النظر المنصف والقراءة بتؤدة وتفكر وتأمل تكون حصيلته المقارنات العادلة، وربما اعتناق الإسلام أحيانا. هكذا كان قلم الكاتب هنا بمنزلة مجل للحقائق ومبدد للأوهام ومعيد مواطن الاعتبار الأخلاقي للنبي-صلى الله عليه وسلم-لما انقطع من نسب الفطرة بين خبر النبي المعصوم-صلى الله عليه وسلم-وفطرة القارئ الغربي الذي أفسد عليه الكذب والتزييف دون أن يبصر الحق والجمال الصادق في سيرة المصطفى عليه الصلاة والسلام.
