Anayasaya günümüz şeklini kazandıran arka plan ve etkiler ise oldukça karmaşık bir yapı arz etmektedir. Anayasanın oluşum sürecinde sömürgesi olduğu İngiltere etkisinin yanı sıra, vatandaşlık meselelerinden devletin federal yapısına kadar nüfuzunu çok daha fazla hissettiren İslam’ın başat bir rolü olduğu belirtilmelidir. Bu makalede, Malezya Anayasası’nda İslam’ın etkisi, tarihi arka plan, bölgenin 1957’ye kadar tecrübe ettiği İslamlaşma serüveni ve bağımsızlığını kazandıktan sonra Anayasanın yazılış sürecinde meydana gelen gelişmeler ışığında incelenecektir.
Federal Constitution of Malaysia is firstly enacted in 1957 when the Malays gained their independence from British. However, the background which gives the current shape of the constitution is very complexity and arguably discussable. Although British influence while drafting the constitution cannot be undermined, it still preserves indigenous characteristic of Malays and as well as that of Islamic. The latter one is actually the core component of the constitution which has been felt throughout the constitution from the issues relating to citizenship to the federal structure. So, this article seeks to examine Islamic position in the constitution of Malaysia in a comprehensive way by analyzing the historical background of the constitutional development; Islamization of the region and its political effect until 1957, then drafting process of the constitution after independence of Malaysia and lastly Islam in the constitution.

Arap dünyasında medya politikasının başlamasına sebep olan söz konusu radyonun verdiği mesajlar 1950’li yıllarda bölgede siyasi haritayı yeniden şekillendirirken aynı zamanda Arap milliyetçiliği kavramının halk kitleleri tarafından benimsenmesinde etkili olmuştur. Öte yandan Kahire Radyosu’nda şarkıları yayınlanan Ümmü Gülsüm de Mısır’ın Pan-Arapçılığına üst düzeyde hizmet etmiştir. Bu çalışmada Arapların Sesi radyosunun, emperyalist ve sömürgeci devletlere karşı nasıl bir propaganda siyaseti izlediğine değinirken Abdünnasır’ın milli egemenlik, bağımsızlık, Arap birliği mesajlarını ve bu mesajlar çerçevesinde yürütmüş olduğu ideolojik kampanyayı ve Ümmü Gülsüm’ün bu kampanyaya katkılarını temel araştırma yöntemleri ve ilgili literatür ışığında incelenecektir.
“Voice of the Arabs” which is the first program of Cairo Radio, was one of the most effective media organs of its time. The messages of the radio, which led to the beginning of media policy in the Arab world, reshaped the political map in the region during the 1950s and it was also effective in influencing popular masses with the idea of Arab nationalism. This article aims to discuss how the Voice of Arabs conveyed the propaganda policy of Nasır carried out against the imperialist and colonial states and his ideological campaign to spread his messages regarding national sovereignty, independence and Arab union etc. to the public masses and the Umm Kulthum’s contribution to this propoganda in the light of basic research methods and literature review.

Bu dönemde İslam toplumlarının hal-i pür melâlini telafi etmek amacıyla geliştirilen; ihya, ıslah ve tecdid fikirlerini bünyesinde barındıran İslamcılık, sömürgeci güçlere karşı verilen mücadele ortamında zuhur etmiştir. Düşüncenin fikri temellerini adeta reaksiyoner bir tavırla atan İslamcı aydınlar, bir yandan modernleşmenin getirdiklerini dışlayarak İslam’a ait pek çok kavramı yeniden yorumlamış bir yandan da geleneksel İslam’a dair birtakım yanlış uygulamaları ortadan kaldırmak ve yeni olana uyum sağlamak adına çalışmalara başlamışlardır.Ancak Mısır’da İslamcılık, yirminci yüzyılda (1928) İhvan-ı Müslimin teşkilatı, teşkilatın kurucusu olan Hasan el-Benna ve teşkilatın El-Benna’dan sonraki ideologu olan Seyyid Kutub ekseninde dönüşüme, diğer bir ifade ile kırılmaya uğramıştır. Öncesinde elitist bir tarafı olan ve entelektüellere dayanan söz konusu İslami söylem, El-Benna ve Kutub ile popülist bir siyasal ideolojiye dönüşmüştür. 1980’li yılların başlarına doğru Mısır’da İhvan-ı Müslimin’in bünyesinden çıkan Cemaat el-İslami, Tekfir ve Hicre, Tanzim el-Cihad gibi pek çok radikal İslamcı örgüt zuhur etmiştir.

There are some important figures contributed to the foundation of Naqshibandiyya tariqah in terms of its practices and beliefs. They’re mainly counted briefly as Abu Yazid al-Bastami who represented malamatiyya tradition; Abu al-Hasan al-Kharaqani who introduced uwaysi tradition; Abd al-Khaliq al-Ghujduwani who introduced silent dhikr based on the example of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, which it become a distinctive character of the order and formulated kalimat-i qudsiyya; Baha' al-Din Naqshbandi who is founder-figure solidified the practices of his masters, eliminated some practices and added some practices such as sohbet, rabita, khatme, and three more principles to eight and these eleven principles constitute basic principles of Naqshibandiyya which all salik (who follows the spiritual path) must follow; Ubaydullah Ahrar who established institutionalized sohbet,, tawajjuh and khalvat dar anjuman and introduced a new kind of religious activism in relation with the political arena and lastly Ahmad Sirhindi who is known as mujaddid at-tsani or Imam-i Rabbani introduced the concept of wahdatus shuhud and emphasized the superiority of shariah rather than sufism and superiority of nubuwwat rather than walayat.
In this paper, formation of Naqshibandiyyah, with above mentioned figures will be studied in the light of its main beliefs and practices.

For Muslims, all previous scriptures have exactly the same content with the revealed Qur’ān but the current content of these scriptures are not the same what Qur’ān states.
Although taḥrīf has been literally interpreted in different ways, such as to transfer an object from its place to another, an omission or an addition of a letter or a change in grammatical inflections and so forth, it is an Arabic term basically used for the alterations of previous books of Judaism and Christianity in the Islamic literature. The issue of falsification of previous books has been criticized based on Qur’ānic contemplation by many scholars from the earliest time in the Islamic world. The thesis of Muslim scholars about this issue have differed from each other. This paper explores that the majority of the Muslim scholars believe that the text of the previous scriptures, at least Hebrew Scripture, remained intact or unaltered; if there is an alteration, it must be in sense not in the text.
The aim of this paper is to examine the concept of falsification and the critics of scholars about taḥrīf in a comparative way. Special emphasis is given to both Eastern and Western studies in order to clarify the issue in a collective way.
