History of Islamic Learning and Scholarship in Africa 13-15 June, 2023 Kaduna, Nigeria TOPIC: “Learning, Scholarship and the Tajdid Movements in Africa”: Shaykh Muhammad Shareef bin Farid Abstract: Societal transformation, religious reformation, cultural renaissance, and social revolution all fall under the comprehensive meaning of ‘tajdid’ (renewal) in Islam. The source for this concept is found in the Qur’an and the Sunna. As, for the Qur’an, Allah ta`ala says: ﴿إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيد * وَمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللهِ بِعَزِيزٍ﴾ “If He desires, He will do away with you and bring a new generation. And this is not difficult for Allah.” [35:16-17] As for the Sunna, it has been related by Abu Dawud in his Sunnan, al-Hassan ibn Sufyan in his Musnad, at-Tabarani in his al-Awsat, al-Haakim in his al-Mustadrak and others on the authority of Abu Hurayra that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace said: “Indeed Allah will raise for this Umma at the head of every century, those who will renew for it the matters of the religion.” Thus, the idea of social renewal and reform are an innate part of the religion of Islam; and has been the causative factor behind the social development of Islamic societies throughout the world. In Africa particularly, ‘tajdid’ has been the fundamental driving force behind the formation of Islamic polities and states for 14 centuries. In, this paper, I intend to demonstrate that ‘tajdid’ as a principle for social transformation, has been aware of itself and has been carried out by the purveyors of Islamic learning. I will utilize rare Arabic manuscripts from Ethiopia, Sudan, northern Nigeria and Mali, to demonstrate that social reform and societal transformation has been transmitted inter-generationally and across vast regions of the African continent. The ideas of Shaykh Ahmad Zarruq, Imam as-Suyuti, Shaykh Abd’l-Kareem al-Maghili, Shaykh Ahmadu Baba at-Tinbukti, Imam al-Awjali, Shaykh Muhammad al-Wali ibn Sulayman, Shehu Uthman Dan Fodio, Shaykh Ahmad Lobbo, Shaykh Umar al-Futi, Sayyid Muhammad Ahmad al-Mahdi, and Shaykh Muhammad Ma` al-`Aynayn were some of the key transmitters of social reform (tajdid) in Africa that will be discussed in this paper.

The maritime trade is not limited to exchange of goods alone. In the ancient world deprived of passenger ships, cargoes were the only mode of transportation in the Indian Ocean. Not only traders, but also Buddhist monks, nuns, philosophers, artists and diplomats as well travelled together; and as a result, not only goods, but also philosophical thoughts and iconographies were exchanged. As a result, Buddhist iconographies developed in a cross-fertilized context, ingenuously incorporating the sentiments and aesthetics of their respective populations. Instead of reproducing stereotypical prototypes, they created new forms of art leaving some traces of the aspirations of the donor-traders, enabling us to understand the growth of the maritime networks.

On the methodological plain, this paper outlines the conditions that contribute to the development of economic theories and it continues with an examination of the concrete circumstances that gave rise to modern neoclassical macroeconomic theories. The paper further claims that the current impasse in macroeconomics is indicative of the need for new directions in economic theory which becomes imperative in the long economic downturn that started in 2007 and concludes by suggesting the need for a synthesis between the classical analysis and the theory of effective demand.

DEĞIŞEN ISTANBUL'UN KENTSEL ÇEVRESINDEN SEÇMELER Editör: Pınar Erkan Bursa, 2022

Sarayburnu’nun ucunda, Marmara Denizi ve Haliç’e hâkim eski akropol tepesinde konumlanan Topkapı Sarayı, dönemindeki adlandırılışıyla Saray-ı Cedid, Osmanlı saray mimarisinin günümüze ulaşan en önemli örneği olmasının yanı sıra simgesel anlamı da olan çok katmanlı bir yapı kompleksidir. İstanbul’un alınışı sonrası 15. yüzyılın ortasında yapımına başlanan Topkapı Sarayı, terk edildiği 19. yüzyılın ortasına dek yaklaşık dört asır boyunca hem devletin resmî yönetim merkezi hem de saltanat ailesinin evi olmuştur. Sarayın etkin olarak kullanıldığı bu süre boyunca, onu kentten ayıran surları, bir başka deyişle Sur-i Sultani sınırları içinde sayısız dönüşüme sahne olmuş, ancak tüm bu dönüşümler sırasında özgün sınırlar korunmuştur. Süreç içerisinde meydana gelen değişimleri, bu bölümde bulacaksınız.
