Here's the English translation:


*Hasan bin Sabah – Part 2*


In this way, the strength and numbers of Hasan bin Sabah’s Batini movement increased greatly, because now it had become the center and focal point of attention for all Batinites. Thousands of Batini individuals were spread across Syria, Iraq, and Persia as missionaries. In some places, they had also openly started their campaign of invitation.


However, gradually the Muslims attacked them and seized all their forts from them and took away their rule. But Hasan bin Sabah’s control over its surrounding regions continued unbroken.


Hasan bin Sabah — his real name and identity — later came to be remembered by names such as the “Empire of the Fidais,” the “Ismaili Sultanate,” the “Hashashin Sultanate,” etc. Just as Hasan bin Sabah was the founder of this sultanate and rule, he was also regarded as the founder of his sect and religion. He introduced new methods and added practices to the rituals and worship of the Batinites, going beyond the common Batinites. All his disciples called him _Sayyidna_.


He died at the age of 90 on 2 Rabi al-Akhir, 518 AH. Among his disciples, he had formed such a group of fanatical people who considered it the purpose of life to give up their lives at Hasan bin Sabah’s signal. These people were called the group of Fidais.


Through these Fidais, Hasan bin Sabah would have great kings of the world and his opponents assassinated in their own homes.


Hasan bin Sabah and his group are generally not considered Muslims. In reality, they were a sect of heretics. Hasan had no connection with the religion of Islam. But it is astonishing that an ignoramus of our time, who by good fortune is also considered a leader and head of an anti-Islam sect, describes the actions and deeds of Hasan bin Sabah and his followers — the Mulahida — as part of the religion of Islam.


Let me know if you want Part 3 translated too.

AL ASHARI SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY

 AL ASHARI SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY The more constructive among Asharite thinkers for no doubt on the right path and anticipated some of the more modern forms of idealism yet on the whole the object of the Asharite movement was simply to defend orthodox opinion with the weapons of Greek dialectic.Muslim thinkers of the school of Al AShari did not believe in the infinite divisibility of space and time with them space , time and motion are made up of points and instance which cannot be further subdivided. Ibne Azam however rejected the Asharaite notion of infinite smalls and modern mathematics has confirmed his view. the Asharite argument therefore cannot logically resolve the paradox of zeno Reference: The reconstruction of religious thought in Islam- Allama Iqbal.
