The Shariah, Vol.1, No. 9 The Shariah Volume .1 No. 9 1 YOUR LINK TO ISLAM SSAFAR- A F A R ---RABIULRABIUL AWWAL 1431 / FEBFEB----MARMARM A R 20102 0 1 0 INSIDE: SPECIAL FEATURE: THE PATH TO ALLAH TA`AALA, MOST HIGH (Pages 2, 5 & 6) JAMIATUL-ULAMA GAUTENG CALLS FOR VIGILANCE Islam respects the sanctity and sacredness of all forms of life. Even animals, birds, and marine life - all come within the warm embrace of Islam’s compassionate teachings. Muslims reject the carnage, slaughter and the bloodbath wrought upon innocent civilians by “suicide bombers”. Bombs which tear apart limbs; bombs that maim life; bombs that indis- criminately kill innocent children, women and the old - to claim that all this havoc, mayhem and cruelty is sanctioned and blessed by Islam is nothing but deception and ignorance. The damage done by the “suicide bomber” is nothing compared to the damage he does to the perception of Islam. Islam is portrayed as a senseless, mindless, bloodthirsty relig- ion. This dastardly image of a cruel Islam indeed serves its enemies well. The agenda of “moderating” Islam is so much more easily within reach - an Islam that surrenders its soul and embraces the corpse of the so-called civilized Western World. Is the “suicide bomber” who targets innocent civilians and even fellow Muslims real? Is he the truth? Is he even a Muslim? No, by Allah, he cannot be a Muslim for a Muslim does not kill children! The suicide bomber is either a pawn who is controlled by misguided, frustrated, angry, fanatical, ignorant persons who as- sume that success will be achieved by operating beyond the pale of The Shariah. Alternatively he is a product of forces hostile to Islam that will use every and any means to fan the flames of hatred against pure Islam.

  • Defining Shariʿa the Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib
    Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review By Shoaib A. Ghias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Martin M. Shapiro Professor Asad Q. Ahmed Summer 2015 Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review © 2015 By Shoaib A. Ghias Abstract Defining Shariʿa: The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib A. Ghias Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Since the Islamic resurgence of the 1970s, many Muslim postcolonial countries have established and empowered constitutional courts to declare laws conflicting with shariʿa as unconstitutional. The central question explored in this dissertation is whether and to what extent constitutional doctrine developed in shariʿa review is contingent on the ruling regime or represents lasting trends in interpretations of shariʿa. Using the case of Pakistan, this dissertation contends that the long-term discursive trends in shariʿa are determined in the religio-political space and only reflected in state law through the interaction of shariʿa politics, regime politics, and judicial politics. The research is based on materials gathered during fieldwork in Pakistan and datasets of Federal Shariat Court and Supreme Court cases and judges. In particular, the dissertation offers a political-institutional framework to study shariʿa review in a British postcolonial court system through exploring the role of professional and scholar judges, the discretion of the chief justice, the system of judicial appointments and tenure, and the political structure of appeal that combine to make courts agents of the political regime.

  • Le Magazine De La L'association Musulmane Ahmadiyya De France
    la revue Le magazine de la l’Association musulmane Ahmadiyya de France N° 5 - mai-août 2014 lemot du Président Assalam Aleikum w.w, ous vous proposons dans ce numéro de relire un discours mémorable, celui de Muhammad Zafrullah Khan aux Nations Unies, au moment de la création d’Israël. C’était un discours inspiré qui démontra l’injustice implacable assenée sur les Palestiniens et la connivence de certains états dans ce dossier. Le plus sage aurait été d’accepter les recommandations de M. Khan. La solution aurait pu être bien plus pacifque pour tous. NMais il y a eu un manque de justice. Disons-le sans langue de bois, les Nations Unies n’ont pas joué leur rôle. Dans cet organisme, il y a une manipulation de ces nations qui ont le droit de véto. Dans certaines situations, le monde entier peut être d’un avis mais si une superpuissance est d’avis contraire, alors tout est gelé. On peut à la fois tout y dire et ne rien dire. Tous ces principes des droits de l’homme perdent leur sens quand il n’y a plus de justice absolue. Israël a le droit d’exister, tout comme la Palestine, bien entendu, mais il faut que ce soit une existence équilibrée. La Palestine est une terre tellement sainte que les trois religions majeures affrment qu’elle lui appartiennent. Il y a une prophétie qui affrme qu’à la fn des temps, quand le Messie viendra, la terre sainte reviendra à l’état d’Israël et celle-ci s’est réalisée.

It has been accepted for inclusion in History - Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract A Subcontinent’s Sunni Schism presents the first-ever history of the 150-year religio- political rivalry between the Deobandis and the Barelvis—arguably the most important schism in the “Muslim world,” and certainly the most significant within Sunni Islam. More recently, that rivalry has often been expressed by means of bullets and bombs, especially in Pakistan. But beyond the headline-grabbing violence of the Deobandi- Barelvi schism lies the story of a century-and-a-half-long religious antagonism: at first over converts, later for competing visions of the political future, then for a place within a new “Islamic” polity—for dominance within its political structure. For Deobandis, the rivalry was defined by their struggle to propagate a “pure” Islam, as opposed to the Barelvi deviation (plus an unmitigated hatred of the British presence in India); for Barelvis, their right to speak for the “Sunni majority” was what defined the battle—a privilege that the Deobandis had long sought to usurp.
