Relationship with isnad
[edit]The silsilah dealt with in this article is a description of a practice apparently particular to the Sufis and should not be confused with the isnad utilized in the Science of hadith. Therefore, I am removing the Golden Chain reference and any reference to hadith in this article - especially since it is unreferenced. Supertouch (talk) 05:04, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Historic Importance
[edit]Silsila can be of a partial knowledge or a book as well. All Hafiz (memorizers of Quran), Muhaddiths (narrators of Hadiths), Qaries (reciters of Quran with correct accent and pronounciation) are given a chain of credible narrators linking to Prophet Muhammed.
An example of Hadith's silsila is Imam Al-Bukhari's declaration that the most authentic chain of narrators (Isnad) is that of Malik by way of Nafi` by way of Ibn `Umar. Al-Bukhari described this chain as the Golden Chain (Al-Silsilah Al-Dhahabiyyah).
Even today, when there are formal religious schools known as Madrasah, traditional madrassas will mention in their certification, the chain of masters linking to Prophet Muhammed.
- has nothing to do with Sufism, I studied it. --The Brain 15:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Madrasah
[edit]Madrasah (Arabic: مدرسة) is the Arabic word for school. Any school, not just religious schools, Google's language tools try copy & paste مدرسة then translate from Arabic to Engllish it'll read school. The other way around school translates to المدرسة the extra two letters mean (the), s it translates to the school. --The Brain 15:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Remove India section or move to disambiguation page?
[edit]Which Silsila traces itself to Hazrat Umar? (R.A.)
[edit]Which silsila traces its origin to Umar (R.A.)? Most golden chain trace it to Ali (R.A.) or Abu Bakr (R.A.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.155.47.113 (talk) 21:03, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
The India section has little or nothing to do with the rest of the article and I think better belongs to the Silsila disambiguation page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.225.80.101 (talk) 16:49, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
