Program & PROPOSALS INTERNATIONAL ILEM IISS 6 SUMMER SCHOOL Transnational Islam and Challenges of Being Muslim Ummah PRogram & PROPOSALS Education and Health Foundation IISS 6 INTERNATIONAL ILEM SUMMER SCHOOL Scientific Studies Association (ILEM) organizes International ILEM Summer Schools to exchange intellectual experience within academicians, researchers, and intel- lectuals from different geographies worldwide. The International ILEM Summer School (IISS), which addresses major themes and issues of the Islamic World in ev- ery year. The 6th IISS will occur in the Summer of 2019 and its major theme is “Transnational Islam and Challenges of Being Muslim Ummah”. The intellectual and political imag- ination of classical and contemporary Islamic thought has played an important role in the creation and continuation of the Muslim Ummah, and its complex relation- ship to the “Other” throughout history. Aiming to make Muslims united, this mission enables the transnational understandings and identities of Islam(s) / Muslim(s) with new projections and also makes it compulsory to produce new policies. In this summer school, the ideal of being an Ummah, and the challenges faced by this ideal in the light of contemporary developments, will be discussed with special emphases on Theoretical Frameworks, Contemporary Debates and Future Projec- tions. Researchers around the world will share their ideas and great intellectual experi- ence during this annual event, which will be held on 29 July – 04 August 2019, in Istanbul. IISS would like to thank supporters; Presidency for Turks Abroad and Re- lated Communities (YTB), Istanbul 29 Mayıs University, Islamic Cooperation Youth Forum (ICYF), Mavera Education and Health Foundation who collectively have worked to organize the program. 1 ILEM – Scientific Studies Association Scientific Studies Association was founded in 2002 with a view to train and support scientists and intellectuals who are expected to suggest encompassing solutions for those problems that have been taking place over two centuries. Studies within ILEM are planned with a comparative and multi-dimensional interdisciplinary ap- proach to assist the training of sapient and sagacious scholars who understand zeitgeist and main dynamics of their own civilization. With this regard, one of the main objectives of ILEM is conducting scientific research to suggest solutions for the questions of humanity by laying a ground for training scientists who preserve our tradition of science. ILEM hopes its scientific studies to inspire varied groups in Turkey and abroad.

This study will examine Ibn Khaldun’s theory of ‘Asabiyyah and the application of this theory within the modern Malaysian Muslim community. Certain dynasties or states were built on the notion of ‘Asabiyyah including Muslim governments in various regions of the world. However, Muslims these days are facing different challenges within this understanding of ‘Asabiyyah. These include integration, disunity within the same group, problems of immorality, criminality, social and internal and external problems. This study implies that addressing the issue of ‘Asabiyyah is a key to find solution to the malaise of the nation. Key words: Ibn Khaldun % Theory of ‘Asabiyyah % Modern Muslim society % Malay community % Nation building INTRODUCTION wanted to uphold and preserve the truth of religion. Groups of reformists and revivalists emerged to oppose Throughout Muslim history, governments have these ruling governments and as a result Muslims grew risen and fallen and been replaced by one after another.

  • Human Rights of Women Wearing the Veil in Western Europe
    Human Rights of Women Wearing the Veil in Western Europe Research Paper I. Introduction The present paper analyses legislation, policies, and case-law surrounding religious attire in a number of countries in Western Europe and how they affect the human rights of women and girls who wear the veil in Western Europe. It also more broadly analyses discrimination and violence experienced by women wearing the veil in Europe learning from their own voice. Throughout the paper, the terminology ‘veil’ is used to refer to a variety of religious attire worn mostly, but not exclusively, by Muslim women. There are different types of clothing that cover the body. This research is focused on manifestations of veils that are the subject of regulation in several Western European Countries. They include the hijab (a piece of clothing that covers the head and neck, but not the face), niqab (a piece of clothing that covers the face, where only the eyes are visible), burqa (a piece of clothing that covers both the face and eyes), jilbab (a loose piece of clothing that covers the body from head to toe), or abaya, kaftan, kebaya (a loose, often black, full body cover overcoat). The head and body covers are often combined. In several countries, some of these clothing are based on traditional costumes rather than religion and are often worn by rural communities in the countries of origins. The paper also uses the terminology ‘full-face veil’ or ‘face-covering veil’ to refer to both niqab and burqa. Furthermore, it refers to burkini, a swimsuit that covers the body from head to ankles, completed by a dress.

    292 How to Do Things with Headscarves How to Do Things with Headscarves: A Discursive and Meta-Discursive Analysis1 Claudia W. Ruitenberg University of British Columbia I thank Sharon Todd for the opportunity to discuss the important topic of sartorial censorship and, more specifically, the censorship of the wearing of khimars, jilbabs, niqabs, chadors, and burqas by Muslim girls and women in educational contexts. I generally agree with Todd’s arguments that gender is not merely an additional feature, but integral to the debate over religious symbols in the public sphere, and that this debate ought to be approached from an understanding of culture as gendered, ambiguous, unstable, and multiple. The focus of my response, therefore, will be the metadiscourse in which Todd’s paper participates: the discourse about the sartorial discourse of Muslim girls and women in educational contexts. Todd considers gender a cultural construct and positions herself in discursive theories of gender put forward by theorists such as Judith Butler. I will stay within that discursive theoretical perspective, and consider the wearing of head, face, and body covers such as the khimar, niqab, and burqa as discursive acts. Where the wearing of clothing and symbols on the body is perhaps not a language in the narrow sense, it certainly is discourse, where discourse is understood as speech, writing, and other semiotic practices that do not merely represent the world, but also produce effects in the world. A law that makes wearing a khimar, burqa, or other form of head, face, or body cover illegal in the context of public schools is thus a law that makes certain discursive acts illegal in the context of public schools: it is a form of censorship in educational contexts.

  • Ibn-I Haldun'da Asabiyet Ile Devlet Ve Mülk Ilişkisi
    İBN-İ HALDUN’DA ASABİYET İLE DEVLET VE MÜLK İLİŞKİSİ IBN KHALDUN ON ASABIYYAH AND STATE – PROPERTY RELATIONSHIP PROF.DR. MEHMET KARAGÜL Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi, Ġktisadi ve Ġdari Bilimler Fakültesi, Ġktisat Bölümü [email protected] ÖZET Toplumların varlıklarını refah ve güven içinde devam ettirebilmeleri, öncelikle kendi içindeki millet olma bilincini geliştirmesi ve bir arada yaşama şuuruna sahip olmasına bağlıdır. Çünkü ortak değerler üretip bunlara göre sosyal, siyasal ve iktisadi hayatlarını düzenleyemeyen, diğer bir ifade ile millet bilincine sahip olamayan toplumların ne tarihte, ne de bugün etkin olabildiklerine şahit olunmamıştır. İslam dünyasının önemli sosyal bilimcilerinde olan İbn-i Haldun, tarihi ve sosyal tahlillerinin geniş bir şekilde yer aldığı Mukaddime adlı eserinde temel değer ve kavram olarak asabiyet düşüncesi üzerinde durmaktadır. Toplumların bir arada yaşaması, devlet kurup güçlü bir iktisadi yapı oluşturabilmelerini sahip oldukları asabiyet düşüncesiyle açıklamaya çalışmaktadır.
