  • Islamic Shura, Democracy, and Online Fatwas 50
    yber C yberO rient, Vol. 5, Iss. 2, 2011 pp. 50-72 Islamic Shura, Democracy, and Online Fatwas Jens Kutscher Abstract: Publications on the Islamic shura concept – Arabic and English – usually include a com- parison with present-day liberal democracy. This paper addresses the issue of shura and democracy from the perspective of Muslim communities residing in non-Islamic countries. How do muftis in their online fatwas respond to questions whether Islam and democracy can be reconciled? How do they address the issue of shura? This paper argues that one might well expect the shura concept to serve as a justification for the reconciliation of Islam and democracy or at least find the shura concept to be a distinctly Islamic understanding of democracy. The online fatwas considered for this survey (from AskImam.org, IslamiCity. com, IslamOnline.net, and IslamQA.com) reveal a number of distinct understandings of shura, which are nevertheless linked with each other – be they elections as an expression of shura, shura as a constitutional principle and perfect form of government, or shura in cases of hardship or the political participation of women. While muftis from all websites are unanimous in their defense of shura, their conclusions regarding the centrality and impli- cations of this concept reflect the different streams of thought and currents they represent. Keywords: study of religion, democracy, legal science, Islam and civil society, Islam and politics, Is- lamic law, websites, fatwas Islam and Democracy in the 21st Century Whether “Islam” and “democracy” are actually compatible is an issue that has been raised for several decades now (McElroy 1938).

BONATE A teoria do “encerramento do Ijtihad” no direito islâmico O postulado da jurisprudência islâmica clássica sobre o “encerramento dos portões do ijtihad”, ou a teoria da abdicação da aplicação do raciocínio humano para a extra- polação da lei a partir das escrituras sagradas, foi indicado por orientalistas como uma das razões da alegada incapacidade das sociedades islâmicas de acompanhar o desen- volvimento moderno, do qual o Ocidente desfrutava. O fecho do ijtihad pareceu ser a causa plausível da aparente estagnação e da falta de criatividade da jurisprudência muçulmana. Apesar de juristas pré-modernos islâmicos e os orientalistas concordarem sobre o encerramento do ijtihad, este, nos dias que correm, tem sido objecto de estu- dos mais aprofundados e de discussões acesas entre académicos, sendo opinião comum que nem o exercício nem a teoria da lei islâmica manifestaram alguma vez a ausência do ijtihad ou da criatividade jurídica.

  • Obstacles to Repentance
    2 | Repentance in Islam: The Interdependence of Spirituality & Practice Author Biography Roohi Tahir has a BS with honors in Computer Engineering from Boston ​ University, is a graduate of the BMAIS higher Bridge to Masters diploma, and is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Islamic Studies from the Islamic Online University. She is also the Founder and instructor of Nourish Your Soul, a platform for Islamic education. 3 | Repentance in Islam: The Interdependence of Spirituality & Practice Abstract While the general notion of repentance may be familiar to most, the Islamic concept of repentance is far less familiar and is often the subject of misconceptions and doubt. Repentance plays a central role in Islam and is comprehensive in nature. Deeply rooted within the belief system, it manifests in multiple dimensions—as the core of Islamic theology (aqeedah), as a subject of jurisprudence or rulings (fiqh), ​ ​ ​ ​ and ultimately in practice as an act of worship (‘ibadah). Equally important are the ​ ​ spiritual and self-purification (tazkiyah) aspects of repentance which reside in the ​ ​ heart. This paper specifically addresses how to repent, with a focus on two key ​ dimensions of repentance (tawba)—the spiritual and the practical. It describes the ​ ​ necessary steps to tawba, its many benefits, and a number of commonly faced ​ ​ ​ obstacles. The paper discusses the symbiotic relationship between the spiritual and practical components. It further emphasizes the holistic nature and distinct features of tawba as a source of optimism for every sinner and believer alike, and as a way ​ of life, necessary for success in this world and in the Hereafter. Introduction In order to appreciate the central role of tawba (repentance in Islam) and its ​ powerful impact on society as a whole, we need look no further than the who personified Islam ﷺ methodology and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad was guided ﷺ to a level of excellence we strive to emulate.

These dimensions are studied from the perspective of Sunni Islam in revolutionary and post-revolutionary Egypt on the basis of a fieldwork conducted in Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo in 2012-2014, as well as of works by classical and contemporary Islamic scholars. This study of Shari’a is guided by the following questions: What kind of political subjectivity is enabled by Islamic jurisprudence when dealing with revolutionary protests, power, and order? What kind of spirituality is entailed by Shari’a rules? To what extent is Shari’a a kind of law distinct from contemporary state law that gives shape to a form of ethical life based on the relationship between acts of worship and

Shamsuddin Faculty of Arabic Language, Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University, Brunei Darussalam Siti Sara Binti Hj. Ahmad Dean: Faculty of Arabic Language, Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University, Brunei Darussalam ABSTRACT In this article we introduced first the ancient history of Arabian Peninsula, and pre-Islamic era and then we focused a spot light on the people of Arabian Peninsula, highlighting the four waves of migration of Semitic Arabs from the southern to northern Arabian Peninsula, then we mentioned the situation of Northern Arabs and their tribal fanaticism, then we differentiated between Qahtaniyya and Adnaniyya Arab tribes including their three Classes: Destroyed Arab, Original Arab and Arabized Arab. We also explained the tribal system in the pre-Islamic era, indicating the status of four pillars of the tribal system: 1. Integration and alliance among the tribes 2. Tribal Senate or Parliament 3. Tribes and sovereignty over the tribes 4. Members of the tribes and their duties towards their tribal society In the end we described the master of Arab tribe who was the brightest person had a long experience and often had inherited his sovereignty from his fathers to achieve a high status, but it does not mean that he had a broad sovereignty, as his sovereignty was symbolic.
