The author, Professor Abdul Azim Islahi, is a well-known specialist in the history of Islamic economic thought. In this respect, we have already published his following works: Contributions of Muslim Scholars to th Economic Thought and Analysis up to the 15 Century; Muslim th Economic Thinking and Institutions in the 16 Century, and A Study on th Muslim Economic Thinking in the 17 Century. The present work and the previous series have filled, to an extent, the gap currently existing in the study of the history of Islamic economic thought. In this study, Dr. Islahi has explored the economic ideas of Shehu Uthman dan Fodio of West Africa, a region generally neglected by researchers. He has also investigated the economic ideas of Shaykh Muhammad b. Abd al-Wahhab, who is commonly known as a religious renovator. Perhaps it would be a revelation for many to know that his economic ideas too had a role in his reformative endeavours. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 , ABSTRACT This thesis deals with the theory of Punishment in Islamic law. It is divided into four ch pters. In the first chapter I deal with the fixed punishments or Mal hududrl; four punishments are discussed: the punishments for theft, armed robbery, adultery and slanderous allegations of unchastity. The other two punishments which are usually classified as "hudud11, i.e. the punishments for wine-drinking and apostasy are dealt with in the second chapter. The idea that they are not punishments of "hudud11 is fully ex- plained. Neither of these two punishments was fixed in definite terms in the Qurfan or the Sunna? therefore the traditional classification of both of then cannot be accepted. -

Meaning and Structure of Law in Islam* Salah-EldinAbdel-Wahab * * The author proposes in this paper to introduce Islamic law to the reader in a quick survey that dwells on the fundamental origins and recalls the development of Islamic legal institutions. Such a survey will serve as an introduction to more detailed studies of each of the specific fields which will reveal the growth and maturity of that jurisprudence, its diversity and its similarity to our modern legal thinking. I. IMPORTANCE OF Tis STUDY Islam today represents one of the three great world-systems of law.' It is now the oldest in history, dating back more than thirteen consecutive centuries. Its most distinctive feature is that it originated as divine law embodied in God's Scripture, the Koran, and was then developed and nurtured by the native juristic mind of the Arabs. It was firmly accepted by many different races from Oman to Andalusia. -

Takaful) by Bouaziz Cheikh
POINT DE VUE POINT OF VIEW Assurances et gestion des risques, vol. 81(3-4), octobre-décembre 2013, 291-304 Insurance and Risk Management, vol. 81(3-4), October-December 2013, 291-304 Abstract To Islamic Insurance (Takaful) by Bouaziz Cheikh ABSTRACT Takaful is the means of bringing the social and economic benefits of modern insurance coverage, in a form consistent with their religious beliefs, to Muslims and to the merging economics of many predominantly Muslims countries. As such, the development of Takaful is crucial, both to social inclusion in non–Muslim countries, and to economic development in a number of countries with emerging market economies. It is therefore only surprising that the Takaful industry is undergoing a period of rapid growth. Yet the development of Takaful faces some formidable barriers that are largely due to the complex structure of takaful unders- tandings and the unresolved issues associated with it. These issues contribute to making the development of an appropriate legal and regulatory infrastructure, as well as financial reporting, corporate governance, rating and other related matters, problematic for the Takaful industry. RÉSUMÉ L’assurance « takaful » apporte des valeurs sociales et économiques aux bénéfices de l’assurance traditionnelle actuelle, qui sont en harmonie avec les croyances religieuses islamiques que l’on retrouve dans de nombreux pays. En cela l’assurance « takaful » opère en parallèle dans les pays non-islamiques notamment dans les économies émergentes et se développe rapidement depuis ces dernières années.

Is Diya a Form of Clemency?

The question of whether diya in a murder case constitutes a form of clemency or pardon — that is, a final non-judicial relief against a death sentence, commonly granted by the executive — is an important issue that has not been sufficiently addressed by scholars of Islamic Law or by scholars of capital punishment. In this Article, I argue that while diya may bear many conceptual similarities to clemency and pardon as understood in secular common law systems, diya should not be exclusively considered through this lens for the purposes of the interpretation of international human rights law and for the future * Assistant Professor, School of Law, City University of Hong Kong. -
Boko Haram Beyond the Headlines: Analyses of Africa’S Enduring Insurgency
Boko Haram Beyond the Headlines: Analyses of Africa’s Enduring Insurgency Editor: Jacob Zenn KASSIM BOKO HARAM BEYOND THE HEADLINES MAY 2018 CHAPTER 1: Boko Haram’s Internal Civil War: Stealth Takfir and Jihad as Recipes for Schism By Abdulbasit Kassim The jihadi insurgent movement Boko Haram has established itself as one of the relatively few jihadi movements to succeed in the capture, control, and governance of territory in Africa. Over the course of less than two decades, Boko Haram has morphed from a jihadi movement operating within Nigeria to a movement with a regional presence across multiple countries in West Africa and beyond. Since the internal civil war within the group shot into the news following the war of words between Abubakr Shekau and Muhammad Mamman Nur in August 2016, sundry observers have remained puzzled over how to describe the open competition and outright hostility that fractured the group into two factions. What is the current state of Boko Haram’s internal civil war in northern Nigeria and the Lake Chad region? This is the most frequently asked question by policymakers, scholars, and the general public interested in understanding the trajectory of the decade-old insurgency. The answer to this question has often focused on a stationary analysis of the mutual recrimination between Shekau and Nur in August 2016. Nonetheless, many events are taking place behind the scenes that can only be grasped through a close reading of the constant stream of primary sources produced by the two factions.

Lapin At4:30p.m. on the.18thofJune 1975 the head of Prince Faisal ibn Musa'id of Saudi Arabia was severed from his body by two strokes of the executioner's sword. [For a detailed description of the exec;ution see appendix at the end of this article.] Prince Faisal died, on March 25, 1975, as a result of his assassination of his uncle, Faisal ibn' Abd al- 'AZlz, King of Saudi Arabia. In accordance with the 1300 year-old Shari'a, the law of Islam, a murderer was made to account for his crime. Islamic law prescribes the death pen alty for four crimes: murder, highway robbery involving homicide (what we would call "felony murder"), adultery by married people, and apostasy from Is lam.
