"Be som om ni kommer att dö imorgon, men arbeta som om ni skulle leva för evigt" - en studie av en mouridisk dahira i Stockholm -Olsson, Magdalena, Svensson, Martin January 2006 (has links)
<p>Mouridiyya är en senegalesisk sufiorden, som sprider sig i världen genom att medlemmarna flyttar till nya städer och nya länder. De finns också representerade i Sverige och har bl. a bildat en bönecirkel, en dahira, i Stockholm. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur mouridiska immigranter bygger upp sin organisation i Sverige, särskilt när det gäller religiös mötesverksamhet, ansvarsfördelning, ekonomi, könsperspektiv och koppling till Senegal eller Gambia, samt att undersöka om detta kan länkas till teorier om religion och migration. Vi har fått möjlighet att besöka den mouridiska gruppen och fått en att undersöka den utifrån vår frågeställning. Vi har varit med om en vanlig lördagsdahira samt besökt en konferens som Dahira Mouridoullahi Touba Sweden anordnade på temat ”islam och ickevåld”. Vi har genom fältstudier samt intervjuer skaffat oss en bild av dahiran och i nedanstående arbete presenterat det vi kommit fram till.</p>

Relentless warrior and shrewd tactician : Shaikh Abdullah bin Ahmad of Bahrain 1795-1849 : a case study of Shaikhly statecraft in the nineteenth century GulfAl Khalifa, Abdulaziz Mohamed Hassan Ali January 2013 (has links)
This study examines the political life of Shaikh Abdullah bin Ahmad al-Fatih Al Khalifa, the fifth ruler of the Al Khalifa dynasty and the third of that family to rule Bahrain. It is a political biography, examining the tactics used by Shaikh Abdullah and his family to fend off threats from various foes. Those tactics ranged from direct military combat, to entry into temporary protector-protégé relationships, to playing off one foe against another. His ability to employ such tactics effectively enabled him and his family to neutralize or defeat their foes. This study examines local statecraft tactics through the case study of one of the Gulf’s greatest nineteenth century statesmen. It also looks at the reasons that resulted in Shaikh Abdullah’s political downfall. Those reasons were domestic and external factors that the Shaikh seems to have either ignored or been unable to fully address. That inability and/or shortcoming in addressing those factors would have cost any Gulf ruler his rulership, not just Shaikh Abdullah, as similar aspects prevailed in the other Gulf shaikhdoms. The study examines the life of a political leader whose achievements have been played down, even neglected, by most modern historians in Bahrain and the Gulf. The reason for this neglect lies perhaps in the natural desire of the current ruling branch of the Al Khalifa family to discourage any potential future claim to the throne by the descendants of Shaikh Abdullah, who have lived in exile from Bahrain ever since Shaikh Abdullah’s overthrow in 1843.

Towards Selective Ethylene TetramerizationShaikh, Yacoob 21 August 2012 (has links)
There is an increasing trend towards advancing the understanding and development of ethylene oligomerization catalysts, both in academia and industry. The metal of choice in this chemistry is invariably chromium, which has shown great versatility in selective trimerization/tetramerization, non-selective oligomerization and polymerization of ethylene. While much success has been achieved in ethylene trimerization, the same con not be said about tetramerization catalysis. Aminophosphine based ligands have demonstrated their ability towards selective 1-octene production, however, the popular PNP catalyst is able to achieve only 70% selectivity. In order to explore the possibility of developing and enhancing the selectivity of chromium based ethylene tetramerization catalyst, this thesis work was undertaken. The ligand systems we chose for our work were bidentate aminophosphine based (PN(CH2)nNP), which has yielded interesting selective oligomerization. Subtle modifications were found to result in drastic changes in selectivity, from tetramerization (PN(CH2)3NP) to trimerization (PN(CH2)2NP). We managed to successfully develop the first truly selective (over 90%) 1-octene catalyst with polymer-free behavior. Further modifications on the ligand framework, where one atom of Si was used to link the two NP units, resulted in non-selective oligomerization, in which case we determined that the oxidation-state of chromium is a key player. We explored other modifications on our selective ligands in which one of the arms on the bidentate ligand was replaced with a base-donor amine, phosphine or pyridine, and resulted in interesting selectivity changes. The final modification that we tested was a novel N(CH2)2P ligand and found it to be a highly active, non-selective oligomerization catalyst.

An analysis of the legitimacy and effectiveness of Salafee scholarship as an antidote to extremismGreen, Craig 11 1900 (has links)
The label Salafee-Jihaadee has been used to categorize Islamic groups that
espouse violence against the West and Muslim regimes. The typology of Salafee-
Jihaadee is met with vehement disapproval and criticism from adherents to
Salafism. For this reason, the portrayal of Salafees as violent extremists requires
scrutiny.
This study aims to make a unique contribution to knowledge of Salafism by
surveying an extensive literature review, supplemented by interviews of known
Salafee clerics based upon the premise that Salafism is an antidote to Islamic
extremism rather than a cause of violent jihaad and terror.
Furthermore, this research aims to offer new insight into existing literature and
theory regarding Salafism. By re-examining current theory this research attempts to
show that Salafism is an antidote to violent extremism. Therefore, there is a clear
need to explore the relationship between Salafism, violent extremism, and
takfeerism.
In chapter one Salafism is defined and its key features as a movement are
characterized and evaluated. Chapter two analyzes Salafees’ view and role in
denouncing violence and extremism. Chapter three introduces alternative
assessments of Salafism as a movement and evaluates the arguments put forth by
its critics. Chapter four investigates Salafist perceptions of pluralism particularly in
Western non-Muslim societies. Chapter five details the role of Salafees and their
counter arguments to extremism. The final chapter details the conclusions of the
research, which indicate that Salafism is not a precursor to violence, but rather the
efforts of Salafee scholars offer effective counter-narratives to the jihaadeetakfeeree
paradigm. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Islamic Studies)
