Notions such as “istijara” (plea for protection), “ijara” (granting protection), “iwaa” (sheltering) and others are variations on the concept of “protection” which is the heart of the mandate conferred on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The Islamic Shari’a further consolidated the humanitarian principles of brotherhood, equality and tolerance among human beings. Relieving suffering and assisting, sheltering, and granting safety to the needy, even enemies, are an integral part of Islamic Shari’a, which preceded by many centuries current international human rights treaties and norms, including the right to asylum and the principle of non-refoulement, which are designed to preserve the refugee’s life and ensure his or her well-being. The Islamic Shari’a addressed the issue of asylum explicitly and in detail, and guaranteed safety, dignity and care for the “musta’men” (asylum-seeker). Moreover, Islamic society followed specific procedures in responding to asylum requests. Hence, the return, or refoulement, of the “musta’men” was prohibited by virtue of Shari’a. Today, what is known as non-refoulement constitutes the cornerstone 3 of international refugee law and relies on this very same principle. The custom of “aman” (safety) implies the protection of asylum-seekers, whether they are believers or non-believers. This is clearly stated in Surat “Al-Tawba” (repentance)): “And if anyone of the Mushrikin (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the Word of Allah (the Qur’an), and then escort him to a place where he can be secure, that is because they are men who know not”.(Ayah (verse) 6) The “istijara” featured as an overall umbrella for the asylum seeker, his or her family and property, and was particularly associated with holy places, as Surat “Al Baqarah” states: “And when We made the House (the Ka’bah at Makkah) a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety. And take you (people) the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibrahim (Abraham) stood while he was building the Ka’bah] as and We commanded Ibrahim (Abraham) and Isma’il (Ishmael) that they should purify My house (the Ka’bah at Makkah)) for those who are circumambulating it, or staying (I’tikaf), or bowing or prostrating themselves (there in prayer)”.(Ayaha 125). Also, the holy Hadith states, “He who enters the holy mosque is safe, He who enters the house of Abu Sufyan is safe; he who drops his weapon is safe; he who stays behind his closed door is safe”.1 As expressed by many scholars, the migration of Muslims to 1 Produced by Muslim in fateh makkah chapter, from kitab al-jihad was-siyar, saheeh al-bukhari 3.-1408 No. 1780, ibn Shaybah and kitab al-maghazi, verified by Dr. Abdul-Aziz al-’Omari, Riyadh, Dar Ishbilia, 1420 AH ( 1990 AD) 4 Abyssinia (Habasha) and the flight of the Prophet, (PBUH), to Medina, to avoid persecution and oppression by the people of Qureish, were acts of mercy. Yet these set an important precedent for the relationship between the asylum-seeker and the asylum provider, whereby the rights of the former are linked to the duties of the latter. More than any other historical source, the Holy Qur’an along with the Sunnah and Hadith of the Prophet of Islam are a foundation of contemporary refugee law. Even though many of those values were a part of Arab tradition and culture even before Islam, this fact is not always acknowledged today, even in the Arab world. The international community should value this 14-century-old tradition of generosity and hospitality and recognize its contributions to modern law. In this solid study the author provides a detailed explanation of Islamic Shari’a and Arab customs, including the standards and norms which underpin the legal framework on which the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees bases its activities.

  • Islamic Hijrah Law a Guideline for Modern Law [Conditions for Granting the Asylum]
    Al-Irfan (Biannual Journal) Jan-June 2020 Islamic Hijrah Law a Guideline for Modern Law [Conditions for granting the asylum] Hafiz Zulfiqar Ahmad Muhammad Musa This paper highlights the comprehensiveness of the Islamic ―Hijrah Law‖, which sets several conditions to grant the asylum. In the years after the World War II, the authorities led in building an international system for the protection of refugees, in order to ensure that the nations of the world would never again turn away people fleeing persecution. The 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol created a mechanism for refugees at risk of persecution to seek asylum in other states. The system introduced in different countries is rigorous, requiring detailed interviews, immigration court hearings, as well as extensive security and intelligence vetting. No individual can be granted asylum until this special security process is complete. Still there are numerous weaknesses in these man made laws. Islam, 14 hundred years ago gave such a comprehensive law for the scrutiny and well-being of asylum seekers. Islamic ―Hijrah Law‖ has such a wide range that it can be a guide-line to all man made laws. Key Words: Islamic Shariah, Asylum in Islam, Hijrah Law The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to the people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a human happy, or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger. Whoever walks with his brother regarding a need until he secures it for him, then Allah the Exalted will make his footing firm across the bridge on the day when the footings are shaken.

  • Breastfeeding Practices, Facilitators, and Barriers Among Immigrant Muslim Arab
    Breastfeeding Practices, Facilitators, and Barriers among Immigrant Muslim Arab Women Living in a Metropolitan Area of the Southwest of United States by Wafa Khasawneh A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved December 2016 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Pauline Komnenich, Chair Megan Petrov Elizabeth Reifsnider Azza Ahmed ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2017 ABSTRACT Scientific evidence strongly indicates that there are significant health benefits of breastfeeding. Lower breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity rates are found in vulnerable populations particularly among women of low socioeconomic status, and racial minorities such as immigrant, racial, and minority cultural groups. Breastfeeding disparities can contribute to negative health outcomes for the mothers, and their infants, and families. Muslim Arab immigrants are a fast-growing, under-studied, and underserved minority population in the United States. Little is known about breastfeeding practices and challenges facing this vulnerable population. Immigrant Muslim Arab mothers encounter breastfeeding challenges related to religion, language, different cultural beliefs, levels of acculturation, difficulties understanding health care information, and navigating the health care system. A cross-sectional descriptive study was used to describe infant feeding practices, and identify contributors and barriers to adequate breastfeeding using the social ecological model of health promotion. A convenience sample of 116 immigrant Muslim Arab women with at least one child, 5 years or younger was recruited from a large metropolitan area in the Southwestern United States. The results indicated that immigrant Muslim Arab mothers demonstrate high breastfeeding initiation rates (99.2%), and lengthy breastfeeding duration (M=11.86), but low rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months (21.6%).

  • Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: a Shi’Ite Perspective Mohamad Younes
    Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: A Shi’ite Perspective Mohamad Younes Master’s Thesis in Sociology Spring Term 2017 Humanities and Communication Arts Western Sydney University 1 17481784 Mohamad Younes 2 17481784 Mohamad Younes ABSTRACT Despite the strong emphasis on ethics within the Islamic tradition, Islamic ethics itself is scarcely represented as a discipline within academic scholarship (Ansari 1989). Even within this area, Islamic ethics have predominantly been studied from Sunni perspectives, with little attention being paid to Shi’ite or other minority understandings. This thesis will, therefore, use qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus groups, to sociologically study the perceptions, understandings, and applications of Islamic ethics in Australian Shi’ite Muslim everyday living. It will investigate the overarching understanding of Islamic ethics and its specific application in Australian Shi’ite Muslim context. The project's objective, therefore, is twofold: one to strengthen Islamic ethics as an independent discipline; and two to address the scant attention Shi’ite Islamic ethics has received in Islamic ethics scholarship generally. Conceptually, this project will contribute to the understanding of Islamic ethics through a particular analysis of Shi’ite Islamic ethics in an Australian Shi’ite context. This is significant as specific understandings of Islamic ethics in certain contexts help to explain how minority groups such as Shi’ite Muslims develop their own ethical standards to shape social relations in society. In addition, this thesis argues for Shi’ite Islamic ethics to be highly Imamate based; that is, very reliant on the actions and sayings of 12 divinely guided Imams (leaders).
