It was inaugurated by the renowned Islamic economist Dr. M.

Rahman Khan assured his participation as the chief guest of the programme but due to some urgent matter he could not join it in person, instead he sent a detailed message for compensating the inability. The minster of minority affairs of the central government Shri Salman Khurshid addressed the valedictory session in a very stimulating and thought provoking way and assured his Economic Advancement of Indian Muslims: The Situation and Scope 11 every cooperation for any cause undertaken for the economic progress of the Muslim community.

In this presentation most of the papers, views and comments delivered during the seminar have been included. Presentations in Urdu have been translated for giving a complete sketch of the ideas and suggestions that came out from it. We are thankful to Mr. Abdul Rashid Agwan who has edited this rendering along with his useful introduction Economic Advancement of Indian Muslims: The Situation and Scope 12 which not only summarized key issues of the seminar but also framed suggestions for future activities. The editor has grouped concerning papers according to the sub-themes of the programme and also formed one section as ‘Key Thoughts’ on the formal views as expressed by dignitaries in the inaugural and valedictory sessions. May Allah accept this humble effort of the academy in putting on record some concrete views regarding the situation and scope of economic advancement on Indian Muslims and may He guide us all for making the Muslims a proud community of the country! Amin! Khalid Saifullah Rahmani General Secretary Islamic Fiqh Academy (India) Economic Advancement of Indian Muslims: The Situation and Scope 13 Economic Advancement of Indian Muslims: The Situation and Scope 14 Introduction Economic development is one of the core themes of Islam. Contrary to the common perception regarding any religion, Islam vigorously guides on several mundane affairs including the economic sphere of human activities. This particularity of Islam could have never been understood well in any era than now. With the growing realization of inadequacy of vogue theories and practices in dealing with complex economic matters in a globalized world and proven sustainability of some Islamic institutions during critical times, such as the present recession, a variety of Islamic tenets are being revisited by academics, policymakers and executives engaged in economic development of human society for exploring their relevance today. The context of economic principles of Islam also arises in the contemporary world due to rampant impoverishment of Muslims in various parts of the world. India is no exception. Here too, a paradoxical reference to the ‘Islamic economics’ is being currently made to the Islamic banking and finance on the one hand and on the other to the glaring economic backwardness of Indian Muslims even after six decades of Independence and democratic governance. Some impart blame on Islam that it comes in the way of economic advancement of Muslims whereas others think that the faith could be used as a motivating force for this purpose. Votaries of both the views do exist and they pursue their respective cause in a mutually Economic Advancement of Indian Muslims: The Situation and Scope 15 unconvincing manner. This calls for underscoring a number of issues for a better grasp of the situation and suggesting policy implications on them. There is a cumbersome list of such issues which demands sincere intervention on the apart of both the state and the community. They comprise inter alia , equitable growth, lack of motivation for ‘worldly’ things, lack of information and facilitation

  • Religion and State in Late Mughal India: the Official Status of the Fatawa Alamgiri
    Religion and State in Late Mughal India: The Official Status of the Fatawa Alamgiri Dr. Muhammad Khalid Masud* Following the advent of the phenomenon of the nation-state in modern Muslim countries, the issue of the relationship between the state and religion assumed great significance. Islamic scholars have differed over the scope of this relationship, and a key factor underpinning this inquiry has been different interpretations of the various schools of Islamic law. In this regard, the Hanafi school, due to its wide following, has been the center of attention of Islamic scholars since long. This article examines the Fatawa Alamgiri, a compilation of authoritative Hanafi doctrines, with respect to the meaning of the official recognition of the Hanafi school and the relationship between the state and madhhab (school). The meaning of official recognition is explored in the context of personal madhhab of the kings, royal patronage of madhhab, madhhab as a source of legislation, requirements for judges to interpret madhhab, and prevalence of madhhab among the masses. This article concludes that official recognition of madhhab cannot be obtained only on the basis of the evidence of personal adoption of madhhab by kings, its royal patronage, and its prevalence among the masses. In fact, official recognition is obtained when a madhhab becomes the exclusive source of legislation in the state, and judges are required to adhere to it exclusively. In this sense the Hanafi madhhab was never recognized as an official madhhab in pre-colonial India. 1. Introduction The formation of the nation-state in modern Muslim countries raised some important questions about the place of Islamic law in the structure of the state.

  • Islamic Studies
    Page 11 Vision Students.in Islamic Studies are expected to develop both an all-inclusive knowledge of Islamic intellectual history and religious thought, as well as mastery of a particular field and the indispensable tools for critical erudition on Islam. We offer an open intellectual environment which produces a structure of study that will enable future generations of scholars to become specialists and experts in Islamic thoughts, culture and ideology. These graduates will be well-equipped to tackle the controversial issues and challenges facing Muslim communities across the globe. Mission The insidious influence of secular materialism and its value system dangerously challenges religious minded individuals and communities. In such a situation it is necessary to teach and promote the fundamental principles of Islamic Faith and virtuous conduct. The Islamic studies curriculum focuses on personality and character development with considerable attention to the real needs and concerns of students. Moreover, it aims at developing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to function successfully as Muslims in society. We make our best effort to foster the prerequisite skills needed to produce competent Muslims who are capable of presenting and defending the genuine and pristine teachings of Islam. Our mission is to positively affect and transform the world and prepare young men and women who are capable of carrying out this mission — morally, intellectually and emotionally. \ I ¢04.1 „..0 ,.,,,,. ,„ 6 .,..,o..v. 2.c,‘ o0 e.4e, Scheme of Studies with detailed Course Outlines (Compiled By: Dr Ata ur Rahman, Dr.Janas Khan & Saeed Akhtar, Deptt: of Islamic Studies UOM Page 12 LAYOUT FOR BS (4 YEAR) ISLAMIC STUDIES AS APPROVED BY HEC Compulsory Elective Courses General Courses Major Courses Requirements within the Major 9 courses 7-8 courses 22-26 courses 4 courses 21-24 25 Credit hours 36-42 Credit hours 12 Credit Hours Credit hours Cr.

The details of his life and the works are well- documented with some exceptions. He wrote al Mankhul min Taliqat al-Usul (the sifted from the Commentary on the fundamentals) when he was young, than he wrote many other books on the same subject, this continued till the end of his life. After 25 years he wrote al- Mustasfa min Ilm al-usul, (a year before his death in 504/1110) which gained a lot of renown from many circles, on the other hand one of his best books was neglected and gradually faded away from the screen. Some thinkers have refused to accept it as al- Ghazal’s book. Some others showed their doubts about its authorships. Some more scholars when writing about his literary contributions have failed to mention al-Mankhul and said that some books have been falsely attributed to him. Many other have analyzed a few pieces from this book and commented that this kind of language used in this book is without dignity and much below the level of such scholar. There are others who have claimed that this could be a compilation of lectures by his student which were delivered by al-Ghazali.

El-Gamal Islamic Finance: Law, Economics and Practice Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, New York. 2006, 221 pp. Reviewed by Abdul Azim Islahi Islamic Economics Research Center King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah Islamic finance is presently one of the most discussed topics of Islamic economics. Literature on the subject and practice of Islamic finance has increased considerably in recent years; a large number of it is characterized as non-original and repetitive. In his work Islamic Finance – Law, Economics, and Practice, Professor Mahmoud El-Gamal, as he himself claims, attempted ‘a qualitative overview of the practice of Islamic finance and the historical roots that have defined its modes of operation’ p. xi. The author is Professor at Rice University, where he holds the endowed Chair in Islamic Economics, Finance and Management. He has numerous publications to his credit in the areas of econometrics, finance, experimental economics, and Islamic law and finance. The book is divided into ten chapters in addition to a brief conclusion. The first chapter is an introduction which starts with a story of Martin Luther and cobbler to whom the former advised to sell a good shoe at a fair price rather than a "Christian shoe". This sets the perspective for the whole book. To the author's mind, 'the term "Islamic finance" brings an analogy to the concept of a "Christian shoe", rather than good products that are fairly priced' (P.
