Panellists for Panel 1: Ayatullah Seyed Mostafa Mohaghegh Damad Topic Abstract Profile Ayatullah Dr Nobahar Topic Abstract Profile Dr Ali-Reza Bhojani Topic Abstract Profile Panellist: Ayatullah Seyed Mostafa Mohaghegh Damad Topic: The Jurisprudential School of Qum in the 21st century Abstract for talk In the history of Ijtihad in recent times, there are three seminary schools: of Samarra, Najaf and Qum. The seminary of Samarra derived from Najaf and was instituted by Seyed Hassan Shirazi (1894). Despite not lasting a long time, it had a vast influence over the development of Shia society, both in politics and in the method of Ijtihad. It closed shortly after the passing of Mirza Shirazi, and his learned students immigrated to Najaf carrying new ideas, a new method of writing and a new method of jurisprudence. The head of the seminary in Najaf at the time were the two great Maraji’, Kazim Khorasani and Tabatba’i Yazdi. Khorasani’s method in Ijtihad was very rational – he had learned Islamic philosophy in Khorasan from Sabzavari, and he had therefore mixed Usul al-fiqh with many principles of philosophy in his famous manuscript Kifayat al-Usul, which became a textbook for Islamic students throughout the world. He supported the constitutional movement in Iran and succeeded in the forming of the connotational law of Iran and the establishment of the Parliament for confirmation laws. One of the immigrants from Samarra to Najaf was Shaykh Abdulkarim Hayery Yazdi who later became the founder of the seminary of Qum (1922) when he immigrated there and a group of scholars and students joined to learn Islamic studies. His manuscript in Usul al-Fiqh was named Durar al-Usul. He lived in Qum for 15 years and during this period, he educated and trained about 400 men who were all at the level of Mujtahid and later reached the level of Marja’, including Golpaygani, Khomeini, Mohaghegh Damad, Sharatmadiri Marashi etc.. Whilst Shaykh Abdulkarim was educated in Samarra, he had a special aptitude and method of understanding Quran and Hadith as well as teaching and educating. Page 4 www.sicm.org.uk www.thesalaamcentre.com Conference on the late Ayatullah Saanei, his work and impact on Islamic Law 27th December 2020 12:15pm – 4:00pm Panel 1: Behind the law: Ayatullah Saanei's Approach to Islamic Law Some of the concepts he derived from the Holy Qur’an, resulted in new fatawa concerning Islamic law. He was particularly concerned about women’s rights. His heritage remains and can be seen in his pupil’s works. When we say the “Qum school of jurisprudence”, we mean the same method established by the founder of this seminary. When Boroujerdi immigrated to Qum (1944), the seminary started a new period but continued to promote the seminary as he was following the method of Shaykh Abdulkarim Hayery. The special elements of the conduct of Boroujerdi and Hayery were their re-reading of the transmitted scriptures and what was quoted from the Prophet and Imams. Boroujerdi emphasized the importance of the context of the hadith quoted from the Prophet or Imams, the atmosphere of the time and the place of the hadith. He also believed that Shi’ite Fiqh was like a comment to Sunni Fiqh. So understanding Sunni Fiqh is a must for all Shiite mujtahids. Ayatullah Saanei is one of the second generation of educated mujtahid of the Qum school. He always was troubled over human rights and in particular, the rights of women. Examples of his ideas include his belief that we cannot accept any discrimination between men and women based on the fact that .”Allah is not tyrannical to the servants أَ نَّ َّّللاَ لَ ْي َسَّ بِ َظﻻ مَّ ِل ْلعَبيد( “) God has said 5 times in Holy Quran that He also recently said in an interview that the enacting of Hudud in our times, when the Imam is absent, should not take place. Panellist: Ayatullah Dr Nobahar Topic: Ayatollah Yousef Saanei’s Approach to Equality in Islamic Law Abstract for talk In traditional Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) a wide range of inequality is recognized. Classification of man into free and slave, discrimination between man and woman in general, and wife and husband in family relationships, and the difference between Muslim and non-Muslim in their rights and obligations are some examples of recognized discrimination. In pre- modern era these discriminations were, to a large extent, normal and common in different cultures and civilizations. In Modern era, however, equality in rights and obligations connected to inherent dignity of mankind per se has become the prominent paradigm. Late Ayatollah Sanei (1937-2020) has criticized a lot of traditional opinions (fatava) concerning inequality and has argued in favor of equality in some fiqhi questions. Equality of diyah (ransom) of man and woman, and Muslims and non-Muslims, equality of the share of wife and husband from each other in some cases of inheritance, balancing the right of wife and husband in divorce, the priority of mother over grandfather in guardianship of the child in case of the death of father are but some examples of his efforts for promoting legal equality. In this presentation, I would concentrate on some methodological bases which have resulted in these new opinions. In sum, it seems that equality as such is not a focal point and at the core of the attention of Ayatollah Sanei’s methodology. Rather, in search of equality, he almost always relies upon the very traditional methodology. However, borrowing from a Muʿtazili perspective, he insists that no injustice and aggression can be accepted even in a single divine legislation. In his view, any discrimination is only unacceptable as long as it implies aggression and/or injustice.

To develop his approach and follow up his concerns I, then, mention some bases help recognizing equality as an independent principle of legal reasoning (ijtihad) regardless of its connection with aggression and/or injustice. Panellists: Dr Ali-Reza Bhojani Topic: Continuity and change in the interpretation of Sharī‘a: Yusef Saanei (d. 2020) on the legal status of non-Muslims Abstract for talk The late Ayatollah Yusef Sanaei, known for a range of progressive juristic opinions, has been described as attempting to institutionalise ‘a new method of ijtihad’ and ‘a paradigm shift in Twelver legal theory’. Through analysis of some of his juristic opinions pertaining to the legal status of non-Muslims, this paper will argue that his views can be seen as emerging in continuity with the theological and jurisprudential tradition from which he speaks. Saanie argues that, with respect to the rulings of Sharī‘a, people should be considered to fall into one of three categories; Muslim, non-Muslim or Kāfir. Accordingly, the apparently discriminatory Sharia rulings that have been typically applied to non- Muslims, he argues, are not relevant to the vast majority of humankind today. This distinction is drawn out of his commitment to a substantive understanding of God’s justice, a fundamental pillar of Shī‘ī theology, combined with analysis of scriptural evidence that is clearly positioned within the dominant methodological framework of Shī‘ī legal theory and in a manner consistent with earlier jurists.

    1 DEMONSTRATIONS AND POLITICAL SYSTEM CRISES IN IRAN by Arabian Gulf Centre for Iranian Studies 4 DEMONSTRATIONS AND POLITICAL SYSTEM CRISES IN IRAN Executive Summary 28 December 2017, demonstrations ON broke out in the holy city of Mashhad, catalyzing similar demonstrations in other cities, resulting from stagnant socio-economic conditions. The spiral of events which have unfolded, resulted in the demonstrators chanting political slogans, targeting the regime, because of its abject failure in satisfying socio-economic needs and it’s foreign policy, which has burdened the regime with excessive expenditure at the expense of its own people. 5 Iran has survived multiple crises post-1979 revolution, during the first decade. After this turbulent period, the regime stabilized and was able to overcome political and military rivals. DEMONSTRATIONS This consolidation of power via the imposition of religious ideology and monopolization of political and economic choices, as well as control over foreign relations, was at the expense of AND POLITICAL SYSTEM CRISES multiple regional and international crises. In the early 1990s, a political movement started to emerge in Iran, resulting in the reformist IN IRAN current, leading to Mohammad Khatami becoming the president. Khatami was part of a hidden ploy to distribute roles within the regime, where the dispute between the reformists and conservatives was simply a disagreement between supporters of Khomeini’s Velayat-e Faqih. In fact, the actual gap between the Iranian people and the reformists did not narrow but widened and this has been apparent whether the reformists or conservatives are in power, as Iranians have failed to decipher the difference between the two when it comes to freedom, openness and jurist monopolization over law and decision making.

  • Assessing Iranian Soft Power in the Arab World from Google Trends
    The Journal for Interdisciplinary Middle Eastern Studies Volume 4, Spring 2019, pp. 33-56 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26351/JIMES/4/2 ISSN: 2522-347X (print); 2522-6959 (online) Assessing Iranian Soft Power in the Arab World from Google Trends Hillel Frisch Abstract Iran’s hard power in Lebanon is well-known. At its beck and call are the Hezbollah militia − the powerful military force through which it largely controls the Lebanese state, the many militias operating under the umbrella of the Popular Mobilization Force in Iraq, as well as links in the Palestinian arena to al-Jihad al-Islami and to Hamas. This is hardly true of its soft power. Analyzing search results presented by Google Trends, Iran’s soft power reach seems to be limited to the states with Shi’ite populations, especially in Lebanon and Bahrain. The country’s soft power is more tenuous in Iraq, the country with a majority of Shi’ites, who also represent the majority of Arabic speaking Shi’ites. Analysis of Google Trends searches suggests that Iraq is a spiritual center competing with Iran, among the smaller Shi’ite centers of population in Lebanon and Bahrain − where Shi’ite identity seems to be the most salient. While Arabic speaking Shi’ites evince interest in Iran, the Iranian public hardly reciprocates with interest in Shi’ites in the Arab world, a reflection of a center-periphery relationship between Iran and transnational Shi’ites. Keywords: Iran, soft power, Google Trends, Shi`ites, Arab world, Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain Prof. Hillel Frisch – Bar-Ilan University, Israel; [email protected] 33 34 Hillel Frisch Introduction Iran’s hard power in Lebanon is well known.

    Vol. 6, No. 2, Desember 2020 : Jurnal Pemikiran Islam WILĀYATUL FAQĪH: LANDASAN, IMPLEMENTASI, DAN KRITIK Amrizal STFI Sadra Jakarta Email: [email protected] Abstract The Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the countries that is very influent in the political arena of the Middle East and even the world today. Minority in the cultural structure of Muslim diversity and the embargo launched by the USA apparently did not stop the advancement of the country. Among the extraordinary possessed by the Islamic Republic of Iran is its constitutional system which is capable of synergistically synergizing with the constitutional system that was born from the teachings of the other Modern Political Philosophy. The selection of Republic as the form of this country necessitates the application of the Trias Politica accompanied by the application of democratic values and instruments to absorb people's participation to determine its direction of politics and government. All of this is contained in the Wilāyah al-Faqīh system which was born purely from the Shi'ite teachings. This paper will discuss the conceptual and doctrinal foundation of the Wilāyah al-Faqīh, its implementation in the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the criticisms that are made against it. The first discussion will discuss the leap of thought that enables the Imāmate doctrine to find its new form through the Wilāyah al-Faqīh in contemporary practical politics. The second discussion will discuss its implementation as a reference to the criticisms that arise about it. The third discussion will place a number of criticisms in accordance with the realm so that at the end of the discussion a theoretical and practical alternative responses to the criticisms can be presented.

    The Influences of Resurrection-Believing on Human Worldly Life from Nahj al-Balaghe's Perspective Naser Rafiei Mohammadi* Receive Date: 31 October 2018 Accepted Date: 04 February 2019 Abstract Resurrection is one of the principles of monotheistic religions and its belief is the Research of Nahjolbalagheh of Research difference between religious and non-religious thought. On the other hand, human AQuarterly Research Journal Research AQuarterly beliefs play an important role in human life. One way to illustrate the effect of beliefs on human life is to refer to religious texts. Nahj al-Balagha, as a religious text, contains some of the Amir al-Mu'minin's teachings, which has, directly and indirectly, expressed the various effects of the resurrection belief in human life. This belief causes the human being to imagine himself, in all situations, in the presence of God. Therefore, he is constantly watching over his speech and deeds. Extraction of these works, in addition to explaining the effects of the resurrection on human worldly life, can play an important role in reinforcing the doctrinal foundations as well as determining the appropriate behavioral patterns for individuals in society. In fact, paying attention to these works has a constructive role in the believing life of individuals in the community and will pave the way for the formation of a believing society.
