We will go out into the world and plant gardens and orchards to the horizons, we will build roads through the mountains and across the deserts, and terrace the mountains and irrigate the deserts until there will be garden everywhere, and plenty for all, and there will be no more empires or kingdoms, no more caliphs, sultans, emirs, khans, or zamindars, no more kings or queens or princes, no more quadis or mullahs or ulema, no more slavery and no more usury, no more property and no more taxes, no more rich and no more poor, no killing or maiming or torture or execution, no more jailers and no more prisoners, no more generals, soldiers, armies or navies, no more patriarchy, no more caste, no more hunger, no more suffering than what life brings us for being born and having to die, and then we will see for the first time what kind of creatures we really are.
Kim Stanley Robinson (The Years of Rice and Salt)
Praise be to Allah, who revealed the Book, controls the clouds, defeats factionalism, and says in His Book: 'But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)'; and peace be upon our Prophet, Muhammad Bin-'Abdallah, who said: I have been sent with the sword between my hands to ensure that no one but Allah is worshipped, Allah who put my livelihood under the shadow of my spear and who inflicts humiliation and scorn on those who disobey my orders. ...All these crimes and sins committed by the Americans are a clear declaration of war on Allah, his messenger, and Muslims. And ulema have throughout Islamic history unanimously agreed that the jihad is an individual duty if the enemy destroys the Muslim countries. This was revealed by Imam Bin-Qadamah in 'Al- Mughni,' Imam al-Kisa'i in 'Al-Bada'i,' al-Qurtubi in his interpretation, and the shaykh of al-Islam in his books, where he said: 'As for the fighting to repulse [an enemy], it is aimed at defending sanctity and religion, and it is a duty as agreed [by the ulema]. Nothing is more sacred than belief except repulsing an enemy who is attacking religion and life.' On that basis, and in compliance with Allah's order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims: The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies -- civilians and military -- is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque [Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty Allah, 'and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together,' and 'fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah.' ...We -- with Allah's help -- call on every Muslim who believes in Allah and wishes to be rewarded to comply with Allah's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan's U.S. troops and the devil's supporters allying with them, and to displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson. ...Almighty Allah also says: 'O ye who believe, what is the matter with you, that when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling so heavily to the earth! Do ye prefer the life of this world to the hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things.' Almighty Allah also says: 'So lose no heart, nor fall into despair. For ye must gain mastery if ye are true in faith.' [World Islamic Front Statement, 23 February 1998]

There are four main sources of the Shari’a: the Koran, which is compiled of thousands of religious verses revealed by God through his Prophet, Mohammed; the Sunna, which are the traditions the Prophet addressed that are not recorded in the Koran; the Ijma, which are the perceptions of the Ulema, or religious scholars; and the Qiyas, which is a method whereby known jurists agree upon new legal principles.
Jean Sasson (Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia)
Sura 2:223 says that ‘your wife is as your farm to you, so treat her as you would your farm.’ The ulema have quoted this as if it meant you could treat women like the dirt under your feet, but these clerics, who stand as unneeded intercessors between us and God, are never farmers, and farmers read the Quran right, and see their wives are their food, their drink, their work, the bed they lie on at night, the very ground under their feet! Yes, of course you treat your wife as the ground under your feet!
Kim Stanley Robinson (The Years of Rice and Salt)
Later in the fatwa, Osama Bin Laden said: ‘We – with Allah’s help – call on every Muslim who believes in Allah and wishes to be rewarded to comply with Allah’s order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they can find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan’s U.S. troops and the devil’s supporters allying with them, and to displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson.
Skip Coryell (We Hold These Truths)
Some observers, notably Farah Azari, have remarked upon the way that orthodox, traditional Shi‘ism has worked in the past to repress women and female sexuality in Iran, linking that to male anxiety in periods of social and economic change. There are still books to be written on the other distortions this has caused historically.26 The success of women’s education, and the greatly expanded importance of women in the workplace and in the economy, is a huge social and cultural change in Iran—one that in time, and combined with other factors, is likely to have profound consequences for Iranian society as a whole. Surveys have indicated that this is already emerging in more liberal attitudes toward education, the family, and work.27 There are parallel changes in attitude away from religion toward more secular, liberal, and nationalistic positions.28 Some clerics among the ulema are challenging the religious judgments on the status of women that were pushed through into law at the time of the revolution. These developments are not peripheral but are absolutely central to the future of the country.
Michael Axworthy (A History of Iran: Empire of the Mind)
Although many Islamic clerics and theologians participated in the campaign to demand Pakistan’s transformation into an Islamic state, the blueprint for a step-by-step transition was offered by Abul Ala Maududi, founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), the South Asian analogue of the Arab Muslim Brotherhood. Maududi, joined by Mufti Shabbir Ahmed Usmani, a cleric elected to the Constituent Assembly on the Muslim League platform, called for the future constitution of Pakistan to be based on the underlying assumption that sovereignty rested with Allah and that the state’s function was solely to administer the country in accordance with God’s will. Both Islamic scholars also insisted that only the ulema (those trained in Islamic theology) could interpret the laws of Allah.
Farahnaz Ispahani (Purifying the Land of the Pure: Pakistan's Religious Minorities)
When asked whether they were bothered by the prospect of mistreatment of Muslims in countries where they lived as minorities, the ulema were surprisingly callous in their responses. Ataullah Shah Bukhari said that it was not possible for a Muslim to be a faithful citizen of a non-Muslim government. Others, including Maulana Abul Hasanat and Maulana Maududi said that they would have no objection to Muslims in India being subjected to Hindu law or Muslims in non-Muslim countries in general being discriminated against. Most of the ulema seemed to believe that Pakistan was somehow the reincarnation of the seventh-century caliphate and that other countries should be viewed as the caliphs (khalifa) looked upon non-Muslim empires of the time.

Jean-Maximillien De La Croix de Lafayette (OVNIs et extraterrestres : Transcriptions des réunions entre les États-Unis et les Extraterrestres en 1947 et 1948)
As it is sufficient in Sunni Islam for a man to repeat Talaq, the word for divorce, three times for a couple to be divorced, many Tajik women have received the following text message from their husbands in Russia: 'Talaq, Talaq, Talaq'. In 2011, the Council of Ulema in Tajikistan banned divorce by mobile telephone.
Erika Fatland (Sovietistan: Travels in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan)
A kada je rat svemu se čovjek može nadati, ali svaki dan sve više saznajemo da nas malo šta može iznenaditi. Tako je svakim danom sve novo, kao da smo ukleti sa ovoliko mnogo novih stvari, kažu da u Kineza ima krilatica, ili poslovica, svejedno: «Dabogda živio u interesantnom vremenu!» Tako su oni proklinjali onoga koga nisu voljeli. Da, tako je, kaže Hegel, stari narodi su izumitelji starih poslovica, a mali se u njima pronalazili. Ali, nisam filozof, filozofima je razonoda pričati o svijetu kakav nije.Svi vidimo: Bosna se strpljivo savija, kao jufka kad je jedra domaćica razvija, ali se ne da! Strpljivo čeka gospodara! Kad sam studirao političke nauke, u Aleksandra Koževa sam vidio, kaže: jedan gospodar za mnoge sluge, to je historija! A ja, dodajem: Od faraona do danas, historija se nije promijenila ni koliko crno pod noktom. Faraon, cezar, car, halifa, sultan, svećenstvo, ulema, papa, šejhul-islam,predsjednik, kancelar, generalni sekretar partije, birokratija pa tehnokratija – sve gospodar do gospodara! Zaključak Aleksandra Koževa je jasan: Da nije gospodara, sluge bi se međusobom isjekle, izjele bi se zubima odmah jutros, ne bi čekale podne, kao što se među se sasjeku... pčele... Ali braćo i sestre, ovom narodu nije lahko biti gospodar i ostati jedan. Da jeste, Osmansko-carstvo bi i sada bilo ovdje. A znate li zašto nas je predalo Austrougarima? Zato što su Osmanlije znali da će se Austrougari ne samo obrukati već i brzo propasti čim zavladaju nama! Tako je i bilo, Austrougarima smo se zgadili za samo četrdeset godina, deset puta brže nego li Osmanlijama! Švabo je pljunuo na sve, pa i na nas i rekao: Ni manje zemlje, ni veće želje da u Boga iz inata različito vjeruju! Bili smo dosadni i Kraljevini Jugoslaviji, tako je je Kralj Petar II Karađorđević okrenuo glavu od nas, odletio prvo u grčku i Palestinu, a zatim u Egipat, da bi u junu 1941. stigao u London. Šta se poslije desilo vidimo svi, ne moramo čak ni oba oka otvarati. I Titino se rasulo na četrdeset i nekoliko godina! Balkansko guvno je opet razvršeno, od svjetskih gospodara niko se još ne odlučuje da zauzme Balkan. Dođi, o gospodaru, po milosti Božijoj! ...Pomiluj sve, bez razlike,..., što brže i što nježnije! A sad, čestita braćo i sestre, evo moga obrazloženja zašto nam treba jedan gospodar. Nekad bijaše jedan car za Kavdakom, ruski, u sretnoj carevini, ruskoj, čestit i pametan. Sve je dozvoljavao da narod priča, o svačemu: o mnogo para i njiva, ..., deva i krava, o rodnim godinama i unosnim žetvama i o debelom snoplju...Samo jedno zakavdaški car nije dao: Branio je pričati o vlasti, o caru! I bio je u pravu. Šta imaju o vlasti pričati marveni trgovci?! Ali, kasno to narod saznade (narod uvijek sazna posljednji), izbi rat, pa se tužno sjeti svog dobrog cara, ali bijaše dockan, predockan. Pojavi se drug Lenjin na ovaj svijet, pa opčini sve oko sebe slatkom pričom da vlast pripada narodu, koji mu povjerovao, pa uhvati cara za Kavdakom, i ubi ga sa svim njegovim, muškom i ženskom svojtom. ... Još sam u bogosloviji učio: moderna povijest Evrope sastoji se od jurišanja prema gore – na cara, na vlast, na crkvu. I na Boga bi evropljanski narod, i njega bi rado svrgnuo sa Prijestolja, samo sreća pa ga ne vidi! Pomislio narod da je vlast lijepa igračka, pa uzjaha na mnoge revolucije i pravo na uzvišene bregove, na cara, na vlast, i na crkvu! I molim vas,..., šta je narod dobio kada je to troje slavno srušio na brdu i svaljao u glib, dolje pod brdo?!Ništa! Nove vlasti su na narod dale namete, zapovijedile obnovu, od narodnih para napravljeni su parlamenti i predsjedništva. I prvo što je narod vidio bilo je da u parlamentima i predsjedništvima ne stanuje narod, već vlast! I narod se silno ražalosti i zacmizdri kad otkrije: prohtjevi u ovih novih isti kao u cara pa i veći jer ih je više. I jer se množe više, kao gube po truhlom hrastu. I vidje narod da su revolucije obično skakanje u maglu.
Enes Karić (Jevrejsko groblje)
the conservative Ulema opposed the Pakistan project (because they aimed at controlling the whole rather than a part of India) but supported most other communal demands of the League, thus strengthening further the communal outlook which underlay the Pakistan demand. Welcomed by the Congress as ‘nationalist Muslims’, they helped Gandhi and Nehru in suppressing all articulate Hindu voices in the Congress.
Koenraad Elst (Why I Killed the Mahatma: Understanding Godse's Defence)
the idea of Pakistan was very strongly opposed by the Islamic religious scholars of India. The reason for that was, among others, an argument on the part of the ulema, the religious scholars of Islam in India, that nationalism was an anti-Islamic ideology, because nationalism proceeds to create boundaries where Islam is a faith without boundaries. It interferes with the universalism that is the Koranic commitment of Islam. It is a universal religion that will not be subject to drawn boundaries.
Eqbal Ahmad (Confronting Empire)
When it seemed obvious to Napoleon that his force was too small to impose itself on the Egyptians, he then tried to make the local imams, cadis, muftis, and ulemas interpret the Koran in favor of the Grande Armée. To this end, the sixty ulemas who taught at the Azhar were invited to his quarters, given full military honors, and then allowed to be flattered by Napoleon's admiration for Islam and Mohammed and by his obvious veneration for the Koran, with which he seemed perfectly familiar. This worked, and soon the population of Cairo seemed to have lost its distrust of the occupiers.
Edward W. Said (Orientalism)
HADŽDŽ Ulema se slaže da se u 4 slučaja nafaka uvećava: kada se kuća pravi, kada se žensko dijete rodi, kada se ode na hadždž, održavanje rodbinskih veza. Oporuke Oprosnog Hadždža: Krvna osveta je zabranjena, kamata se dokida, muslimani su braća kod Allaha je bolji ko Ga se više boji, tri stvari su svete: muslimanska krv, obraz i imetak.
Husejn Čajlaković (Husejn Čajlaković)
If I ever acquire great authority and power, I think that I would introduce at a single stroke the transformation needed in our social life. I do not accept and my spirit revolts at the idea entertained in some quarters that this can be done [only] gradually by getting the common people and the ulema to think at my level. After spending so many years acquiring higher education, enquiring into civilized social life and getting a taste for freedom, why should I descend to the level of common people? Rather, I should raise them to my level. They should become like me, not I like them. Nevertheless, there are some points here which should be gone into. It would be wrong to make a start before deciding them.
Andrew Mango (Atatürk: The Biography of the Founder of Modern Turkey)
leading Muslim clerics (the ulema) have come to the consensus that Islam is more than a mere religion, but rather the one and only comprehensive system that embraces, explains, integrates, and dictates all aspects of human life: personal, cultural, political, as well as religious. In short, Islam handles everything.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali (Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now)
[...] the governor of the Hijaz sent an order to the district governor of Mecca prohibiting the trade in slaves. The district governor was instructed to read the order aloud at the Shari a court of Mecca in the presence of the ulema and the sharifs. This took place on October 30, 1855 [...] This was the moment for which the sharif had been waiting. On his instructions, Shaykh Jamal issued a fatwa denouncing the ban on the slave trade as contrary to the holy law of Islam. Because of this anti-Islamic act, he said, together with such other anti-Islamic actions as allowing women to initiate divorce proceedings and to move around unveiled, the [Ottomon] Turks had become apostates and heathens. It was lawful to kill them without incurring criminal penalties or bloodwit, and to enslave their children. "The Turks have become renegades. It is obligatory to make war against them and against those who follow them. Those who are with us are for heaven and those who are with them are for hell. Their blood is lawful and their goods are licit.
Bernard Lewis (Race and Slavery in the Middle East: An Historical Enquiry)
The traditional ulema and Islamists used the environment of jihad to advance their own agenda, and one agenda item was that they should be accepted as custodians of Pakistan’s ideology and identity. After the war, several state-sponsored publications were devoted to building the case that one Muslim soldier had the fighting prowess to subdue five Hindus.
Husain Haqqani (Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military)
The proponents of this bizarre science are not the traditional ulema but, instead, holders of high-level degrees in scientific fields. Most of them have studied in the West, although almost none of them have any significant professional achievements to their credit. Islamic science provides a refuge from the challenge of doing difficult science.
Pervez Hoodbhoy (Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and the Battle for Rationality)
As the commission tartly noted, no two religious divines could agree on the definition of a Muslim. If the members of the commission tried imposing a definition of their own, the ulema would unanimously declare them to have gone outside the pale of Islam. Adopting the definition of any one religious scholar entailed becoming an infidel in the eyes of all the others.
Ayesha Jalal (The Struggle for Pakistan: A Muslim Homeland and Global Politics)
In Taliban-controlled portions of Pakistan, “Polio vaccinations have been declared haram by the ulema, and the government campaign has subsequently stalled.” Like car insurance, vaccinations are a form of presumption. Only with the expulsion of the Taliban from the Swat Valley in the late summer of 2009 was the Pakistani government able to resume vaccinations.
