Is Any Benefit Prohibited in Islam?
Munich Personal RePEc Archive Is any benefit prohibited in Islam? Abozaid, Abdulazeem Qatar Foundation 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/92523/ MPRA Paper No. 92523, posted 21 Mar 2019 09:41 UTC IS ANY BENEFIT FROM A LOAN PROHIBITED IN ISLAM? Abdulazeem Abozaid Qatar Foundation Abstract It is a well-established rule in the Shariah (Islamic law) that a loan contract is of a charitable nature and as such the lender may not stipulate any excess or benefit from the borrower. However, it is also known in the Shariah that if the benefit from a loan comes to the lender voluntarily and it is not stipulated in the loan contract then it is permissible. This exception derives from some reports that the Prophet used to repay his debt with some increment, and to this effect he said: "The best amongst you are those who benevolently repay their debts”. Moreover, within Islamic law there exist some juristic opinions allowing the lenders to derive some indirect benefits from the loan contract, such as stipulating that the repayment of the debt is to be made in a place different from the one where the loan was first initiated, as this may save transfer costs and effort, or in utilizing, with conditions, the assets mortgaged against the loan. These exceptions may in principle nullify the general understanding that “any loan which results in a benefit is considered a form of usury” in Islam. The paper comes to define the prohibited benefits on a loan in Islam, thereby building the basis for addressing important questions, such as: i) are reciprocal loans prohibited in Islam? ii) is repaying the loan with excess to cater for inflation lawful? iii) is the benefit that pertains to the lender and does not harm or burden the borrower lawful? Answering these questions shall help set out the parameters for what constitutes unlawful benefits obtainable from a loan contract. -

Textiles Under Mughals
Chapter V Textiles under Mughals- The advent of the Mughal dynasty gave an undeniable boost to production of the up-market textile, as to other craft. Textiles are singled out for mentioned by Abul Fazl, the minister and biographer of Akbar (1556-1605), in his Ain-i-Akbari, compile in the 1590‟s as a subject in which the emperor took particular interest. Akbar favoured woollen garment – the chosen wear of Sufis (Muslim mystics) – „from his indifference to everything that is worldly‟ in preference to the richer stuffs. His penchant for wool is also indicated by the steps he took to improve shawl manufacture; especially in the relation to dyes and width of fabric.1 Ain-i- Akbari goes into fascinating details on the manner of classifying garments in the imperial wardrobe (toshkhana). The textiles were arranged according to the date of entry which was recorded, sometime with other information, on a label tacked on to the piece (practice which survived in provision toshkhana into the 20th century). Price, colour and weight were also taken into account. Within these boundaries, textile took precedence according to the nature of the day, astrologically auspicious or otherwise on which they were received. A further refinement took into account the colours, of which thirty five are listed in the order of precedence. Abul Fazl further records that imperial workshops had been set up in the cities of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad, where the best of the local craftsmen were requisitioned to supply the needs of the court.2 Persian masters were brought in to teach improved techniques. -

A Regional Market in a Globalised Economy: East Central and South
A Regional Market in a Globalised Economy: East Central and South Eastern Africans, Gujarati Merchants and the Indian Textile Industry in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries Pedro Machado Introduction Over the past two decades or so there has been a perceptible growth in interest in the history of the Indian Ocean as an arena of integrated economic, political and cultural interaction. Approaches to this history have differed and – in similar vein to recent efforts to define and theorise the Atlantic ‘world’1 – defining the Indian Ocean spatially, temporally and conceptually has been a challenge for scholars. 2 Despite some differences, these appear to be in general agreement that the ‘essential’ unity of the Indian Ocean was determined and maintained by the ebb and flow of intersecting circuits of maritime commerce, a conclusion that ‘Atlanticists’ would perhaps share. How one defines the vast oceanic space of the Indian Ocean depends ultimately, it would seem, not only on one’s particular vantage point3 but also on the historical period one chooses to examine.4 Nevertheless, a useful working model may be to see the Indian Ocean as constituted by distinct regions 1 Donna Gabaccia, ‘A Long Atlantic in a Wider World,’ Atlantic Studies, Vol. 1, No. 1 (2004), pp. 1-27. Gabaccia conceives of the Atlantic as a ‘geographical conceit’ and as a ‘watery site of cross-cultural exchange and struggle.’ 2 See, for example, K. N.

Freedom of Expression
Freedom of Expression In Egypt and the Arab World Annual Report 2015 1 Book title: Annual Report on Freedom of Expression in Egypt and the Arab World, 2015 Publisher: Arabic Network for Human Rights Information 2 Behlar Passage, off Kasr El Nil Street, floor 5, flat 39, Downtown, Cairo Telephone/fax: 23904208 – 23964180 Website: www.anhri.net Email: [email protected] Prepared by: Research and Documentation Unit, ANHRI Translation: Sally Sami Cover and Techical Preparation: Emad Ouf First Issue: Deposit No: Printing: All rights are reserved © to the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) 2 Overview There is a big problem with regards to how international organizations and bodies concerned with defending journalists monitor violations against them, as they are in need for a more inclusive definition for the journalists. Many are exposed to violations, sometimes grave, reaching the extent of killing, enforced disappearance, and imprisonment for doing work that would be considered journalism. Yet because of the very tight definition of journalists, these individuals are not considered to be amongst them. In our current reality, the internet has provided opportunities for people from across the world to communicate and interact. Individuals in different regions publish information, pictures, and videos on their personal accounts on social networks, their blogs, or websites. These opportunities have created journalists independent from any official relationships with press or media institutions in their country or abroad. What they publish, especially when they involve heightened conflict or exposure of criminal acts and violations committed by ruling authorities or individuals with influence or armed groups, exposes them to serious threats. -

Summary Points Access and Movement Humanitarian Situation
Humanitarian Situation Report Baghdad, Basrah, Wassit and Babylon Humanitarian Coordinator on behalf of humanitarian agencies and organisations Sunday, 30 March 2008 Summary Points • Iraqi Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr ordered his fighters off the streets of Basra and other cities on 30 March. These clashes began following the Government of Iraq›s crackdown on so-called ‹criminals and outlaws› in Basra on 25 March, prompting a spiral of violence in southern Iraqi towns and cities and Shi›a-dominated areas in Baghdad. • Access and movement restrictions vary from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. The curfew in Baghdad is in its fourth day, while in Babylon, parts of Basrah and Kut the curfew had been lifted by the 30 March although movement is still limited to within neighbourhoods. • Key humanitarian concerns revolve around safe access to essential services, such as hospitals and shortages in essential items, primarily water. Hospitals face shortages in essential medical supplies, including blood bags, while shortages in water and food are prevalent in areas under curfew. There are consistent reports that at least 8 ambulances were attacked in the last four days, destroying or badly damaging them and that medical staff have been threatened or attacked as they have tried to reach hospitals and clinics. • It is clear that if free movement of people and resources is restored, many of the acute humanitarian issues could be resolved. For instance, access has impeded commerce. Food prices have temporarily risen in Basrah, Kut and Babylon as a result and there are reported shortages in fresh and perishable foods. • Between 25-30 March, 683 killed and have been killed and 1,526 injured in Baghdad, Basrah, Wassit and Babylon, according to UNAMI (in Baghdad, 277 civilians and non-civilians killed and 709 injured; in Wassit, 68 civilians killed and 91 injured; in Basra 255 killed and 661 injured; in Babylon, 83 killed and 65 injured. -
……Summary and Conclusion
……Summary and Conclusion Chapter 5 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Culture had played a major role in defining our present; it has outlined our belief, value, preference, and community norms which has grown and evolved in its extensive course of journey. This journey has created several cultural products in different forms and in different regions. Textiles is one of the most celebrated cultural products. Right from everyday needs to special occasions; traditional textiles had made our life content, simple, safe, confident, luxurious, socially and emotionally valuable. To people, it had been perceived as commodity or work of art or craft or all of these. Artisans have created masterpieces to day-to-day usage- based textiles. We experience traditional textiles as an open-ended process which had tendency to adapt, adopt and evolve. However, this process is slow, that is why we realized it over a period of time. During its journey; textiles had added, reduced, appropriated, eliminated several components in it, that is why it exist today. Also, the aesthetic fineness perceived by artisans hold our attention, expands our imagination, open new views, refines our sensibility, knowledge, brings new ways of thinking, makes us more sublime and uplifts our soul. Overall, it talks about life, life skills and lasting values that motivate us to be a better human and above it to create a well knitted society. In recent period, many traditional textiles are disappearing due to lack of support. Losing them will be like losing the effort of several decades, it had taken centuries to buildup. In the process of making of textiles as well as change; stakeholders like artisan, consumer and place as well have played an imperative role. -

Hsvol.25 (1) Article
British Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences 60 May 2021, Vol. 25 (1) Punishment of Apostasy between Denial and Confirmation Assistant Professor Dr Hasan Yousef Dari University of Qatar, Faculty of Shariah and Islamic Studies/ Department of Islamic Creed & Dawa Professor Dr Mohammad Saeed Hawwa Mu’ta University, Faculty of Shariah/ Department of Jurisprudence and Fundamentals Abstract The issue of individual Apostasy punishment, disconnected with announcing war, or spoiling values on earth is considered one of the thorny intellectual issues in the Islamic Jurisprudence; for it is overpowered by the principle of the safeguarded religious freedom in Islam, and principle of responsibility of man for his actions at what may expose the community to danger. So this study did present evidences of confirmatives, and it had been performed on a group of confirmative hypothetical talks, or hypothetical significance, also present the denial evidences, that initially depended on the invented understanding from the verses of the Holy Qura’n, assertion of the religious freedom, and man is not punished, in this life of the world, for his thinking and choice, but punished for his behavior only; to determine the prominence of this last opinion. Introduction: Inquiries of researchers were performed on how is the Apostasy punishment can be determined in light of the intellectual and dogmatic freedom guaranteed by Islam for every individual? And is performing this punishment is from the gate of man’s responsibility about a decision taken freely by him and a correct choice, and not from part of confiscating freedoms?! It was a must for researchers to release this matter accurately.
