Talab
Talab, the principle of talab in Muhammadan Law has three specific facets: the first being talab-e-muwathaba: Talab in common parlance means and implies a demand and talab-e-muwathaba literally means the demand of jumping. The idea is of a person jumping from his seat, as though startled by news of the sale (See in this context Wilson on Mohammadan Law). In Talab-emuwathaba the pre-emptor must assert his claim immediately on hearing of sale though not before and law stands well settled that any unreasonable delay will be construed as an election not to pre-empt. The second, being popularly known as the Second Demand, isalab-e-ishhad, which literally speaking mean and imply the demand which stands witnessed. The second demand thus must be in reference to the first demand and it is so done in the presence of two witnesses and also in the presence of either the vendor (if he is in possession) or the purchaser and the Third Demand though not strictly a demand but comes within the purview o...
Sajjadanashin (M.T.)
Sajjadanashin (M.T.) means these dervishes pro-fessed esoteric doctrines and distinct system of initiation. They were either Suffis or the disciples of Miyan Roushan Bayezid, who flourished about the time of Akbar and who had founded an indepen-dent esoteric brotherhood in which the chief occupied a peculiarly distinctive position. They called themselves fakirs on the hypothesis that they had abjured the world, and were humble servitors of God: by their followers they were honoured with the title of 'Shah' or King. The preceptor is called the 'Pir', the disciple the 'Murid'. On the death of the 'Pir' his successor assumes the privilege of initiating the disciple into the mysteries of dervishism of Sufism. This privilege of initiation making Murids, of imparting to them spiritual knowledge is one of the functions which the sajjadanashin performs or is supposed to perform. He is the curator of the durgah where his ancestor is buried, and in him is supposed to continue the spiritual line,...

Civil Law

These laws were for the most part promulgated by Romulus, Numa Pompilius and Servius Tullius.
