ayat al ahkam: The Rule of Law, Freedom of Expression and Islamic Law Hossein Esmaeili, Irmgard Marboe, Javaid Rehman, 2017-12-14 The importance of the rule of law is universally recognised and of fundamental value for most societies. Establishing and promoting the rule of law in the Muslim world, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, has become a pressing but complicated issue. These states have Muslim majority populations, and the religion of Islam has an important role in the traditional structures of their societies. While the Muslim world is taking gradual steps towards the establishment of rule of law systems, most Muslim majority countries may not yet have effective legal systems with independent judiciaries, which would allow the state and institutions to be controlled by an effective rule of law system. One important aspect of the rule of law is freedom of expression. Given the sensitivity of Muslim societies in relation to their sacred beliefs, freedom of expression, as an international human rights issue, has raised some controversial cases. This book, drawing on both International and Islamic Law, explores the rule of law, and freedom of expression and its practical application in the Muslim world. |

Drawing on extensive original research and the deep experience of the authors, the book highlights tensions between traditional Islamic educators and modernisers, and between different understandings of Islam, emphasising the importance of these issues for the future of Indonesia. |

ayat al ahkam: Teaching Islam Brannon M. Wheeler, 2002-12-19 Despite the importance of Islam in global affairs and the role of Islamic Studies in Religious Studies, little attention has been given to the basic questions of how Islam should be taught. This volume brings together a number of leading scholars of Islamic Studies with rich experience in teaching Islam in a diversity of undergraduate settings, from large public universities to small private colleges. Topics addressed include Islamic law, the Quran, Sufism, women in Islam, Islam in America, and teaching about Islam through Arabic literature and the use of new information technology. Along with providing practical information about structuring courses and assignments, the contributors examine the place of Islamic Studies in the larger theoretical framework of Religious Studies and liberal arts curricula. |

ayat al ahkam: Martyrdom and Sacrifice in Islam Meir Hatina, 2016-11-14 Over the years, the belief system around self sacrifice has become key to understanding the Middle East and its political relationships with the West although much of the literature and conversation has been restricted to modern concepts of jihadism. The recent spate of scholarship relating to suicide bombers and jihadists studies these concepts without a broader understanding of the principle of martyrdom. This book expands on the chronology of self-sacrifice within Islam and contextualises the use of suicide bombings using details of the rise of martyrdom in places such as Iraq, Lebanon, Chechnya and Pakistan. It historicises the background in which 'jihad' has been glorified while also exploring contemporary methods of recruitment, like the use of the internet. The authors pay close attention to the different sects and factions of Islam and the differing interpretations of jihad that accompany these ideologies. In the current political climate, a book that explores martyrdom within the framework of historical perspectives, geographical regions and the influence of outside cultures is essential. |
ayat al ahkam: Islamic Law and International Human Rights Law Mark Ellis, Anver M. Emon, Benjamin Glahn, 2012-10-11 Deepening the discussion of the relationship between Islamic law and human rights, this volume gathers leading experts in both fields to examine how each system protects and limits fundamental freedoms. From gender equality to freedom of religion the book explores the main flashpoints in the debate, examining the operation of the law in context. |
ayat al ahkam: Islamic Law, Epistemology and Modernity Ashk Dahlen, 2004-03-01 This study analyses the major intellectual positions in the philosophical debate on Islamic law that is occurring in contemporary Iran. As the characteristic features of traditional epistemic considerations have a direct bearing on the modern development of Islamic legal thought, the contemporary positions are initially set against the established normative repertory of Islamic tradition. It is within this broad examination of a living legacy of interpretation that the context for the concretizations of traditional as well as modern Islamic learning, are enclosed. |

ayat al ahkam: After Pluralism Courtney Bender, Pamela E. Klassen, 2010-11-02 The contributors to this volume treat pluralism as a concept that is historically and ideologically produced or, put another way, as a doctrine that is embedded within a range of political, civic, and cultural institutions. Their critique considers how religious difference is framed as a problem that only pluralism can solve. Working comparatively across nations and disciplines, the essays in After Pluralism explore pluralism as a term of art that sets the norms of identity and the parameters of exchange, encounter, and conflict. Contributors locate pluralism's ideals in diverse sites Broadway plays, Polish Holocaust memorials, Egyptian dream interpretations, German jails, and legal theories and demonstrate its shaping of political and social interaction in surprising and powerful ways. Throughout, they question assumptions underlying pluralism's discourse and its influence on the legal decisions that shape modern religious practice. Contributors do more than deconstruct this theory; they tackle what comes next. Having established the genealogy and effects of pluralism, they generate new questions for engaging the collective worlds and multiple registers in which religion operates. |

ayat al ahkam: THE PRINCIPLES OF SHARI’AH: TEXTS AND MATERIALS HASBOLLAH BIN MAT SAAD, 2020-05-07 Compilation Series: The Principles of Shari’ah: Texts and Materials is a solid, application-oriented text for students taking law subjects focusing on the Shari’ah matters. Many new features make this edition a richer and stronger learning resource for students. Several factors motivated the authors to write this book. After having the experience in legal field and teaching for more than 20 years, it became clear that there was a definite need for more detail materials in this area. In addition, there was need for a book which would give full recognition to an easier method and the authors felt it was time for a text which would develop the ideas and methods with this in mind. This book covers a thorough discussion of the development of Islamic Law in Malaysia. A major audience for the book will be students studying the law subjects. The order of topics, however, provides a degree of flexibility, so that the book can be of interest to different readers through basic concepts until the advanced concepts (i.e. the discussion of the areas in a very comprehensive manner). The purpose of this book is to take the readers on an introduction to the principles of Shari’ah by which the meaning of such subject at basic level is better understood. Hopefully, this book can be benefited by the readers in their journey to success. |
ayat al ahkam: Islamic Democratic Discourse M. A. Muqtedar Khan, 2006-01-01 There is a growing consensus among experts and the educated public alike that democratization will reduce the many problems of the Muslim world. The question that remains is how Islam should be incorporated into the public sphere. Islamic Democratic Discourse is in itself a dialogue that explores the multi-faceted relationship between Islam and democracy. Each chapter, by a preeminent scholar of the Muslim tradition and its contemporary challenges, provides insight into Islamic political thought and its connection to Western democracy. Tamara Sonn and Tarek Ramdan consider the elements of government in classical Islam. Osman Bakar and Ali Paya provide regional studies of the search for compatibility between Islam and democracy. And finally, editor Muqtedar Khan and Marc Lynch are among those who offer a global perspective on the discourse on Islam and democracy. Unlike many recent efforts which seek to either underscore or dispute the compatibility of Islam and democracy, this eclectic collection begins a comprehensive conversation on Islam's role in the public sphere and charts a course toward an authentic Islamic theory of democracy. Islamic Democratic Discourse is a crucial addition to the libraries of scholars interested in the future of Islam in the modern world. |

ayat al ahkam: Islam and Global Dialogue Roger Boase, 2016-05-06 At a time when the world is becoming increasingly interdependent, multi-cultural and multi-religious, the concept of religious pluralism is under assault as a result of hatred, prejudice and misunderstanding from both religious exclusivists and dogmatic secularists. In this important and timely book, twenty internationally acclaimed scholars and leading religious thinkers respond to contemporary challenges in different ways. Some discuss the idea of a dialogue of civilisations; others explore the interfaith principles and ethical resources of their own spiritual traditions. All of them reject the notion that any single religion can claim a monopoly of wisdom; all are committed to the ideal of a just and peaceful society in which people of different religions and cultures can happily coexist. More space is here given to Islam than to Judaism and Christianity because, as a result of negative stereotypes, it is the most misunderstood of the major world religions. HRH Prince Hassan bin Talal of Jordan contributes the Foreword. |

ayat al ahkam: The Middle Path of Moderation in Islam Mohammad Hashim Kamali, 2015-05-18 Winner of the I.R. Iran World Award for Book of the Year In The Middle Path of Moderation in Islam, leading Islamic law expert Mohammad Hashim Kamali examines the concept of wasatiyyah, or moderation, arguing that scholars, religious communities, and policy circles alike must have access to this governing principle that drives the silent majority of Muslims, rather than focusing on the extremist fringe. Kamali explores wasatiyyah in both historical/conceptual terms and in contemporary/practical terms. Tracing the definition and scope of the concept from the foundational sources of Islam, the Qu'ran and Hadith, he demonstrates that wasatiyyah has a long and well-developed history in Islamic law and applies the concept to contemporary issues of global policy, such as justice, women's rights, environmental and financial balance, and globalization. Framing his work as an open dialogue against a now-decades long formulation of the arguably destructive Huntingtonian clash of civilizations thesis as well as the public rhetoric of fear of Muslim extremism since the attacks of September 11, 2001, Kamali connects historical conceptions of wasatiyyah to the themes of state and international law, governance, and cultural maladies in the Muslim world and beyond. Both a descriptive and prescriptive meditation on a key but often neglected principle of Islam, The Middle Path of Moderation in Islam provides insight into an idea that is in the strategic interest of the West both to show and practice for themselves and to recognize in Muslim countries. |
ayat al ahkam: The New Islamic Century Munawar Sabir, 2021-09-04 The major issue with Islam today is illiteracy and lack of knowledge of the din. People lack understanding of the Qur’an and Allah’s message. Islam is still strong, growing stronger and vibrant. There are more Believers in the world than ever in history. Yet there are many things that have gone wrong within Islam. Muslims are blinded by blinkers of self-deception and delusion, and they cannot see the fitnah amongst their own selves. Believers in isolation and in unity need to look within themselves, in their community, and in the Ummah and take a stock, objectively, of their place with Allah and in this world. In this unity of purpose and the unity of action, Believers require self-cleansing, to enable them to observe themselves clearly, free of delusion and self-deception. Such unity of purpose and action requires a clean Nafs with taqwa of Allah and knowledge of Allah. They need to understand each word of Allah’s message and each Covenant they have made with Allah and to obey it diligently. They need to read and learn the Qur’an in their own language. Devotional reciting of the Quran should be in Arabic but for a clear understanding of Allah’s word should read be in their own language. Similarly, in personal salaat and dua they may beseech Allah in vernacular and say communal prayers in Arabic. Over a short time, each person will have mastery of Allah’s Word and understand their din, rights, and obligations. Qur’an is the din, Covenant, sharia, and the law. Twenty first century is the century of l earning, understanding and communication. Such knowledge requires understanding of Allah’s Word, the Revelations. Such understanding requires Allah’s Nur within the Believers’ heart. When the Blessed Nabi died, the era of Prophesy ended with him. There were to be no more prophets or en masse Revelations by Allah. When the blessed Nabi died, he bequeathed each Believer the Qur’an and the knowledge of Allah. With submission to Allah’s will, each Believer has Allah in the niche of his heart. Allah speaks to the Believer through each aya and through each word of the Qur’an. The Nabi was a beacon of Allah’s Nur on each Believer’s Path to Allah. The Believer speaks to Allah through the Qur’an, salaat, and dua, and Allah responds in believer’s heart and mind. This gives the Believer peace and tranquility. Submission Islam, gives Iman, and Iman promotes beautiful deeds, ihsan. Beautiful deeds bring the Believer closer to Allah. In closeness to Allah the Believer is aware of Allah’s presence and he continues to perform wholesome deeds in the Taqwa of Allah. Taqwa of Allah shines the Nur of Allah on the Believer’s Nafs, which blows away the smoke of desire and craving from the Nafs. And the Nafs shines in the likeness of a mirror with Allah’s Nur. Fitnah is rooted in cravings and greed of the human. Desire and craving for the shiny goods of this world muddies the Nafs and the human cannot see Allah’s presence within him. The human slips and he strays from the Path of Allah. Human is then lost. And the Qur’an speaks of such persons thus: These are they who have bartered guidance for error: but their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction. Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a f ire; when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So, they could not see. Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return to the path. Qur’an 2:15-18 When the people around the world see the wretched condition of Muslims today, they pose the question, ‘What is wrong with Islam? ’ And the Muslims themselves wonder why after all the sub mission, prayer and humility the Muslims continue to be mired in the dust heap of humanity? Muslims continue to be poor, ignorant, and disunited. They cannot extricate themselves from the fitnah and oppression in Palestine, Syria, Kashmir, India, Chechnya, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Those with the taqwa of Allah, the muttaqeen are conscious that Fitnah is rooted in the cravings of the human. Cleansing of the muttaqeen begins with the knowledge that fitnah is set in the covetousness and cravings of the Muslims; that fitnah is rooted in the body politics of Islam; fitnah is embedded in the social fabric of Islam; fitnah is implanted in the way Muslims treat their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters, fitnah has roots in the way Muslims treat other Muslims. Fitnah is in the way Muslim nations undermine and subvert each other. Fitnah is in the ongoing sectarian Shia Sunni rift. |
ayat al ahkam: Islamic Commercial Law Mohamed H. Reda, 2017-11-01 Islamic Commercial Law: Contemporariness, Normativeness and Competence offers new perspectives on why for centuries Islamic commercial law has been perceived as arbitrary and unpredictable, and on its evolution to a contemporary, consistent, reliable and credible body of law. The book also examines why Western positivists have viewed Islamic commercial law in a simplistic or archaic religious framework and counters those arguments with an examination of its normative legal qualities. The work analyses the competencies of Fiqh (jurisprudence) for structuring new financial instruments, and restructuring conventional financial products more equitability. |

ayat al ahkam: DINAMIKA PENAFSIRAN AYAT AHKÂM MUNÂKAHÂT: Suharta, 2024-02-27 Tafsir aẖkâm merupakan salah satu metode pengungkapan makna al-Qur’an dari aspek hukum. Kegiatan penafsiran ayat aẖkâm sudah dilakukan sejak al-Qur’an masih dalam proses penurunan. Pada era kenabian, penjelasan Nabi Saw., pada umumnya dianggap cukup, sebagai salah satu tawaran penafsiran. Ketika permasalahan mucul, biasanya turunlah ayat al-Qur’an sebagai jawaban, penjelasan maksud ayat langsung disampaikan oleh Nabi Saw. Namun ketika waktu berlalu masa turunnya al-Qur’an terpaut jauh dengan masa munculnya permasalahan, maka pada kondisi seperti ini diperlukan penafsiran atas ayat-ayat al-Qur’an untuk mencari kesesuaian antara ayat dengan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh umat Islam. Semakin menganga kesenjangan antara masa turunnya al-Qur’an dengan masa munculnya permasalahan, maka kebutuhan akan penafsiran semakain terasa. Tujuan buku ini disusun untuk menjelaskan dinamika penafsiran ayat-ayat hukum yang berkaitan dengan pernikahan dengan objek yang dibahas Tafsir an-Nuur karya Hasbi ash-Shiddieqy dan Tafsir al-Ahkam karya Abdul Halim Hasan. Dinamika diamati dari sisi penafsiran keduanya terhadap ayat-ayat yang berkaitan dengan poligami, pernikahan beda agama, talak, perselingkuhan, kepemimpinan dalam rumah tangga, penyusuan, pembagian waris dan mahar. Hal ini akan membawa implikasi pada penafsiran mereka yang lebih berorientasi pada warna hukum. Hasbi mengimplementasikan penafsirannya pada semua ayat, sedangkan Hasan hanya menafsirkan 250-an ayat saja. Pada studi penafsiran ayat-ayat hukum munakahat penulis menemukan keduanya merujuk dan merefleksikan tafsir dan pendapat ulama klasik dan ulama abad pertengahan. Penafsiran keduanya sejalan dengan penafsiran para ulama tersebut. Demikian juga ash-Shiddieqy dan Hasan merujuk dan merefleksikan pendapat dan penafsiran ulama modern. Rujukan yang dominan dalam Tafsir an-Nuur adalah Tafsîr al-Marâghî sebagaimana dinyatakan sendiri oleh penulisnya. |
ayat al ahkam: From Muhammad to Bin Laden David Bukay, 2017-07-28 From Muhammad to Bin Laden analyzes the ideological, religious, and cultural foundations of one of the most inconceivable phenomena in contemporary world politics. Bukay analyzes the homicide bombings and atrocities perpetuated by worldwide jihad. He also uses information from primary sources to suggest how to cope with this lethal phenomenon.The book explores the meaning and interpretation of the seemingly benign concept of da'wah, the expansion of the Islamic community. Da'wah provides the religious and ideological justification for the lethal phenomenon of worldwide jihad; it describes the incentive and motivational drive that support the emergence and the operation of the fundamentalist Islamic movement. Bukay locates the dimensions of the phenomenon of jihad as well as the reasons, motivations, and aspects of the behavior of fundamentalist groups. The importance of this work lies in its skillful combination of historical perspectives and contemporary dynamics, religious and anthropological aspects of the phenomena, and its use of research tools of both the humanities and social sciences.By exploring the religious and cultural foundations of homicide bombers' activities, Bukay explains the essence of jihad, how it is connected to the da'wah, and together, how da'wah and jihad serve as the platform of the current worldwide terrorist activities. Bukay quotes religious edicts and declarations of classical and modern Islamic texts, as well as contemporary Islamic fanatic movements from Ibn Hanbal in the eighth century to Sayyid Qutb in the mid-twentieth century. He also aims to bring to the world's consciousness the aims and objectives of fundamentalist Islam. The volume concludes by challenging the free world to wake up before the bells of another world war start to ring. From Muhammad to Bin Laden will interest scholars, policymakers, and lay readers. Its importance is transparent, particularly in light of the current developments in the Middle East. |

Scholars of religion, law, and comparative religious ethics, as well as human rights advocates will find it an invaluable guide. |

ayat al ahkam: Faith- Based Diplomacy Trumping Realpolitik Douglas Johnston, 2008-06-02 For most of the twentieth century, the most critical concerns of national security have been balance-of-power politics and the global arms race. The religious conflicts of this era and the motives behind them, however, demand a radical break with this tradition. If the United States is to prevail in its long-term contest with extremist Islam, it will need to re-examine old assumptions, expand the scope of its thinking to include religion and other irrational factors, and be willing to depart from past practice. A purely military response in reaction to such attacks will simply not suffice. What will be required is a long-term strategy of cultural engagement, backed by a deeper understanding of how others view the world and what is important to them. In non-Western cultures, religion is a primary motivation for political actions. Historically dismissed by Western policymakers as a divisive influence, religion in fact has significant potential for overcoming the obstacles that lead to paralysis and stalemate. The Incorporation of religion as part of the solution to such problems is as simple as it is profound. It is long overdue. This book looks at five intractable conflicts and explores the possibility of drawing on religion as a force for peace. It builds upon the insights of Religion, the Missing Dimension of Statecraft (OUP, 1994) -- which examined the role that religious or spiritual factors can play in preventing or resolving conflict -- while achieving social change based on justice and reconciliation. The world-class authors writing in this volume suggest how the peacemaking tenets of five major world religions can be strategically applied in ongoing conflicts in which those religions are involved. Finally, the commonalities and differences between these religions are examined with an eye toward further applications in peacemaking and conflict resolution. |
ayat al ahkam: Tafsir (Qur'anic Exegesis) Gholamali Haddad Adel, Mohammad Jafar Elmi, Hassan Taromi-Rad, 2012-08-31 Generation after generation of Muslim scholars have endeavoured to uncover the implications of the Qur’anic text through the science of Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir). This book traces the development of Qur’anic exegesis from its formative period in the first century hijri until the modern era. It offers a comprehensive discussion of the primary approaches to Qur’anic exegesis; namely, exegesis by traditions, literary exegesis, jurisprudential exegesis, theological exegesis, mystical exegesis, scientific exegesis, modern exegesis, and orientalist exegesis. It also discusses the requirements for an exegete and approaches to exegesis which are considered unacceptable, such as exegesis by personal opinion. This book is part of a series of translations from the Encyclopaedia of the World of Islam (EWI) which was originally compiled in Persian. Other entries from this encyclopaedia which are available in English include Hadith, Hawza-yi ‘Ilmiyya, History and Historiography, Muslim Organisations, Political Parties, Qur’anic Exegeses, and Sufism. |
ayat al ahkam: Tafsir Ishraq Al-Ma'an SYED IQBAL ZAHEER, 2008-06-03 About The Book With the revival of interest in Islam in our times, the Qur’an is also being read increasingly, especially by the intellectuals: Muslims and non-Muslims alike. However, and although its message and central theme have been stated in unambiguous terms, its translation fails to impart the same meaning with the same effect. Additionally, the Qur’an deals with every subject of human concern and gives guidelines for application to life and society. This increases its scope widely, and requires on the part of the reader's knowledge of various disciplines for proper appreciation of its message. It is specially important to know how the Qur’an was understood by those who received it first: Prophet Muhammad (SAW), on whom be Allah’s peace, and his immediate followers. Second in order of interest and importance would be to know how the scholars of Islam have understood it in every age. |
ayat al ahkam: Kaya Gagasan Miskin Kesulitan Suwito, 2018-09-03 Hidup pada dasarnya adalah tantangan. Tidak ada kehidupan manakala tidak ada tantangan. Tantangan adalah juga ciri kehidupan. Eksistensi hidup ada pada tantangan tersebut. Tantangan juga adalah masalah. Tanda suatu kehidupan adalah pada adanya masalah. Adanya masalah berarti adanya kehidupan. Oleh karena itu, masalah tidak harus dihindari melainkan dihadapi. Masalah itu pada dasarnya juga perubahan dan perubahan tersebut merupakan hidup itu sendiri. Tidak mungkin disebut hidup jikalau tidak ada perubahan. Perubahan merupakan tanda bagi kehidupan. Berani hidup berarti berani juga berubah. Berdasarkan informasi kehidupan masyarakat masa lalu, kehidupan bukan berarti diam. Diam dapat berarti tidak eksis. Eksis ada pada hidup yang berubah-ubah. Masyarakat yang statis cenderung disebut sebagai masyarakat yang tidak eksis. Eksistensi manusia dan masyarakat ada pada perubahan. Perubahan itu dapat terjadi karena adanya gagasan. Gagasan yang selalu muncul mengakibatkan banyak perubahan. Gagasan muncul dapat dikarenakan untuk menghadapi tantangan. Akan tetapi munculnya suatu gagasan dapat juga karena menghadirkan tantangan itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu gagasan menjadi sentral bagi wujudnya perubahan. |
ayat al ahkam: Voices of Islam Virginia G. Blakemore-Henry, Vincent J. Cornell, Omid Safi, 2006-12-30 Despite frequent and extensive publications on Islam, very few Americans, indeed very few non-Muslims, truly understand the faith or the more than one billion adherents who live it. This set presents the diversity and richness of Islam, filling in the blanks and expanding our knowledge and understanding. Portraying Muslims in all their humanity and diversity balances the images that have bombarded society and presents the reader with a fuller and more accurate picture of the Islamic faith and what it means to live as a Muslim—in Muslim communities, and as part of a broader tapestry of pluralism in the nations of the world. What does it mean to share Muslim concerns? To experience Muslim spirituality? What is the difference between Sunni and Shiite sects? Why do Muslims pray so frequently? What is the reality of Muslim marriage and gender relations? What is the meaning of jihad and martyrdom to a practicing Muslim? What role do the arts and humanities play in modern Muslim life? How are Islamic children raised? These questions and others are answered in these volumes, which bring together Muslim voices from around the world, including men and women, scholars and laypersons, fundamentalists and progressives, and others from various cultural, political, and Islamic backgrounds. Personal experiences and poetry are included to illustrate the many different expressions of Islam. |
ayat al ahkam: Membuka Tirai Kegaiban Jalaluddin Rakhmat, 2008-01-01 Pada suatu hari ada seseorang mendatangi Nabi Muhammad Saw., kemudian berkata, Ya Rasulullah, pada Hari Kiamat ingin sekali aku dikumpulkan dalam cahaya. Rasulullah pun bersabda, Janganlah engkau menzalimi siapa pun. Engkau akan dikumpulkan di Hari Kiamat nanti di dalam cahaya. Ketika Rasulullah Saw. ditanya, Amal apa yang paling utama? Beliau menjawab, Seutama-utama amal ialah memasukkan rasa bahagia pada hati orang yang beriman, yaitu dengan melepaskannya dari rasa lapar, membebaskannya dari kesulitan, dan membayarkan utang-utangnya. Itulah sebagian riwayat, yang dikutip dari kitab-kitab hadis, yang disajikan dan diulas dengan indah oleh Jalaluddin Rakhmat dalam buku ini. Melalui pendekatan sufistik (tashawwuf), penulis berusaha menunjukkan kepada para pembaca bagaimana menyesuaikan diri kita dengan perintah-perintah Allah (muwafaqah), bagaimana menghidupkan kecintaan kita kepada Rasulullah Saw., para imam yang suci, dan saling menyayangi di antara sesama hamba Allah (munashahah), bagaimana membantah tuntutan hawa nafsu (mukhalafah), serta bagaimana memerangi setan (muharabah). Sebuah buku yang ditulis dengan cara pendekatan yang unik dari seorang cendekiawan Muslim terkemuka. [Mizan, Pustaka, Agama, Religion, Indonesia] |
ayat al ahkam: Islam and Contemporary Civilisation Halim Rane, 2010-07-15 Islam and Contemporary Civilisation examines the most complex debates and dilemmas facing Islam today, both internally and in its relations with Western civilisation. Halim Rane provides a concise and comprehensive introduction to Islam and modern developments in Muslim thought, and tackles questions of Islamic law, human rights, democracy, jihad and the Israel-Palestine conflict in the context of Islam-West relations. In confronting these challenging issues, Rane proposes a way forward that has far-reaching implications for advancing mutual understanding and finding common ground between the Muslim world and the West.

ayat al ahkam: The Oxford History of Islam John L. Esposito, 2000-04-06 Lavishly illustrated with over 300 pictures, including more than 200 in full color, The Oxford History of Islam offers the most wide-ranging and authoritative account available of the second largest--and fastest growing--religion in the world. John L. Esposito, Editor-in-Chief of the four-volume Oxford Encyclopedia of the Modern Islamic World, has gathered together sixteen leading scholars, both Muslim and non-Muslim, to examine the origins and historical development of Islam--its faith, community, institutions, sciences, and arts. Beginning in the pre-Islamic Arab world, the chapters range from the story of Muhammad and his Companions, to the development of Islamic religion and culture and the empires that grew from it, to the influence that Islam has on today's world. The book covers a wide array of subjects, casting light on topics such as the historical encounter of Islam and Christianity, the role of Islam in the Mughal and Ottoman empires, the growth of Islam in Southeast Asia, China, and Africa, the political, economic, and religious challenges of European imperialism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and Islamic communities in the modern Western world. In addition, the book offers excellent articles on Islamic religion, art and architecture, and sciences as well as bibliographies. Events in the contemporary world have led to an explosion of interest and scholarly work on Islam. Written for the general reader but also appealing to specialists, The Oxford History of Islam offers the best of that recent scholarship, presented in a readable style and complemented by a rich variety of illustrations. |
ayat al ahkam: Shari'ah Law Mohammad Hashim Kamali, 2008-03-17 A world expert's introduction to the controversial subject of Islamic law Providing a comprehensive and accessible examination of Shari’ah Law, this well considered introduction examines the sources, characteristic features, and schools of thought of a system often stereotyped for its severity in the West. In a progressive and graduated fashion, Mohammad Hashim Kamali discusses topics ranging from juristic disagreement to independent reasoning. Also broaching more advanced topics such as the principle of legality and the role and place of Shari’ah-oriented policy, Kamali controversially questions whether Islam is as much of a law-based religion as it has often been made out to be. Complete with a bibliography and glossary, and both a general index and an index of Arabic quotations, this wide-ranging exploration will prove an indispensable resource for Islamic students and scholars, and an informative guide to a complex topic for the general reader. |
ayat al ahkam: Muslims In Australia Samina Yasmeen, 2010-07-15 Muslims in Australia have attracted increased attention as citizens in the last decade. The research scholars in this book present a complex and dynamic picture of their presence and experiences in Australia, taking us far beyond simplistic notions of security threats and discrimination. Their contributions reveal that Muslims and non-Muslims, as individuals and communities, display many different attitudes towards each other and towards many issues, including reactions to the media, threats of terrorism and access to Islamic schools. The non-Muslim community does not always set the agenda for these interactions: Muslims experience exclusion while excluding others at the same time, often other Muslims. Muslims in Australia portrays the varied ways in which Muslims traverse spaces of inclusion and exclusion, and suggests ideas to encourage and sustain acceptance and social cohesion.
