Conclusion and Recommendations 235 Notes 245 Glossary 283 Bibliography 287 Index of Qur’anic Verses and Hadith 301 Index 307 Foreword The Middle Path: Understanding Moderation Professor Mohammad Hashim Kamali is providing us here with an essen- tial and timely exploration of the concept known in contemporary Islamic tradition as al-wasaṭiyyah. Kamali adopts a perspective that is different to that of other studies within this subject area and thus is a welcome addition. The importance of Kamali’s forty-year contribution to the field of Islamic Studies, in particular within the discipline of Islamic Law and Jurisprudence, is already widely recognized. Indeed, many of his books have become significant references for those using the English language, providing much needed support toward the in-depth and comprehen- sive study of Islamic law and jurisprudence, ethics, and certain essential notions such as freedom, penal code, and interfaith dialogue. Kamali’s Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence and Freedom of Expression in Islam are two such noteworthy resources. This new book is another valuable contribution of critical importance. In this study, Kamali focuses upon a central notion of Islam, that of mod- eration and the way in which moderation can, and indeed, needs, to be understood from within the Islamic reference. The book is divided into two. The first part is a conceptual analysis, with Kamali undertaking to define the concept of al-wasaṭiyyah and then, in consideration of the scrip- tural sources, seeking to illustrate where we can find the notion of mod- eration in our daily lives; how moderation is defined; and the way in which the centrality of the Islamic message relies upon the correct interpretation and practice of moderation. Believers will be familiar with the well-known verse of the Quran: “Thus .( َو َكَذالِ َك َج َعلْ َن ْاكُم أُ َّم ًة َو َسطًا) ”we have made of you a community justly balanced In his book, Kamali enables readers to clarify their understanding of moderation within Islam through highlighting and reflecting upon other viii Foreword verses of the Qur’an and the prophetic traditions (aḥādīth), each of which addresses the notion of moderation. Kamali’s study states, in this first part of the book, that everything within the Islamic tradition is based upon the notion of moderation. Moreover, Kamali connects his process of thought through the study of, for example, the work of Sa’d al-Din al-Taftazani, using different key notions such as wisdom al-( ḥikmah), purity (al-’iffah), and courage (al-shajāʿah). Kamali pays close attention to the notion of jus- tice (al-‘adl), which includes the crucial, yet sometimes overlooked or mis- understood, dimension of striving to seek the middle path in everything. Kamali examines the opinions of scholars within the Muslim tradi- tion (both modern and notable historic scholars) concerning moderation. He uses the scriptural sources as well as the scholarly legacy (turāth), the reference that originates from the understanding that the scholars had or have, by using both the text and the context. Kamali relies on the School of Law as much as the School of Maqasid (the higher objectives of Islam) to illustrate that in relation to rules, not only is everything in Islam based on moderation but that the very understanding of the higher objectives of Islam relies on moderation, too. So the entire message of Shari’ah is in fact an approach whose essence is that of moderation. As part of his conceptual analysis, Kamali observes that the meaning of moderation includes the urgent understanding that everything in Islam is very much based on the rejection of extremism and extremist interpretations in one way or another. Kamali brings to our attention a key area, which he refers to as “mani- festations of al-wasaṭiyyah.” Through his explanation of these manifesta- tions, Kamali demonstrates that everything within these manifestations divine oneness. This is a ,(التوحيد) is related to the centrality of al-tawḥīd fundamental point since the understanding of the way Muslims consider the very notion of tawḥīd is based on this understanding of al-wasaṭiyyah, as well as the importance of taking into consideration the diversity of the various schools of thought. Kamali goes further still, proposing the need to include in our understanding a balance between that which is change- able (mutaghayyirāt) and that which is immutable (thawābit). Kamali also demonstrates the importance of moderation related to the notion of graduality (tadarruj). This is insightful. Hence, he concludes that not only is the message of Islam based on moderation, but so, too, is the methodology that we derive from our scriptural sources. Kamali pro- poses that this is evident in, for example, the requirement for Muslims to promote benefits (maṣāliḥ) and avoid harm (mafāsid)—in practical terms, Foreword ix we need to consider both the balance and the strategy in implementing (taḥqīq al-manāṭ). Kamali explores and presents this concept in an inter- esting way, furthering our understanding of what he refers to as “the iden- tification of al-wasaṭiyyah.” This is a critical contribution to the way we can understand our relationship with oneself and within our community; our relationship within interfaith dialogue; and our relationship to “the other.” This in turn helps us in our understanding of the different schools of thought; the relation to rationality (al-‘aql). It helps us in our understand- ing of the texts (an-nuṣūṣ); and in the understanding even of the consen- sus (al-ijmāʿ).

  • Preparing for Dr Patrick Graham on Contemporary Islamic Theology We Recommend the Following
    Preparing for Dr Patrick Graham on Contemporary Islamic Theology we recommend the following. OPEN LETTER TO POPE BENEDICT XVI OCTOBER 4TH, 2006 WRITTEN AND SIGNED BY LEADING MUSLIM SCHOLARS AND LEADERS IN RESPONSE TO POPE BENEDICT XVI’S REMARKS ON ISLAM AT THE REGENSBURG LECTURE ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2006 In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, And may Peace and Blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad OPEN LETTER TO HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT XVI In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, Do not contend with people of the Book except in the fairest way . (The Holy Qur’an, al-Ankabuty 29:46). YOUR HOLINESS, WITH REGARDS TO YOUR LECTURE AT THE University of Regensburg in Germany on September 12th 2006, we thought it appropriate, in the spirit of open exchange, to address your use of a debate between the Emperor Manuel II Paleologus and a “learned Persian” as the starting point for a discourse on the relationship between reason and faith. While we applaud your efforts to oppose the dominance of positivism and materialism in human life, we must point out some errors in the way you mentioned Islam as a counterpoint to the proper use of reason, as well as some mistakes in the assertions you put forward in support of your argument. THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION You mention that “according to the experts” the verse which begins, There is no compulsion in religion (al-Baqarah 2:256) is from the early period when the Prophet “was still powerless and under threat,” but this is incorrect.

  • Compatibility of Sharia Law with the European Convention on Human Rights: Can States Parties to the Convention Be Signatories to the “Cairo Declaration”?
    http://assembly.coe.int Doc. 14787 03 January 2019 Compatibility of Sharia law with the European Convention on Human Rights: can States Parties to the Convention be signatories to the “Cairo Declaration”? Report1 Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights Rapporteur: Mr Antonio GUTIÉRREZ, Spain, Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group Summary The Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights considers that the 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, whilst not legally binding, has symbolic value and political significance in terms of human rights policy under Islam. However, it fails to reconcile Islam with universal human rights, especially insofar as it considers Sharia law as its sole source of reference and does not recognise certain rights. The committee is therefore concerned that three Council of Europe member States – Albania, Azerbaijan and Turkey – are signatories to the 1990 Cairo Declaration, as are Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco and Palestine, whose parliaments enjoy partner for democracy status with the Parliamentary Assembly. The committee considers that where human rights are concerned there is no room for religious or cultural exceptions. Member States and partners for democracy should bolster religious pluralism, tolerance and equal rights of all. Bridges of understanding between Sharia law and the European Convention on Human Rights should be created, on the prior condition of acceptance that the Convention is an international instrument binding on all States Parties. This report also addresses the actual application of Sharia principles in certain member States and makes country-specific recommendations. 1.

  • Ideological Background of Rationality in Islam
    31 Al-Hikmat Volume 28 (2008), pp. 31-56 THE IDEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF RATIONALITY IN ISLAM MALIK MUHAMMAD TARIQ* Abstract. Islam the religion of Muslims, founded on Qu’rānic revelations transmitted through the Prophet Muhammad (570-632 AD). The Arabic roots slm, convey the ideas of safety, obedience, submission, commitment, and dedication. The word Islam signifies the self-surrender to Allah that characterizes a Muslim’s relation- ship with God. Islamic tradition records that in 610 and 632 CE Prophet Muhammad began to receive revelations from God through the mediation of Angel Gabriel. The revelations were memorized and recorded word by word, and are today found in Arabic text of the Qur’ān in the precisely the manner God intended.1 The community, working on the basis of pieces of text written ‘on palm leaves or flat stones or in the heart of men’, compiled the text some thirty years after the death of Prophet Muhammad.2 All the Muslims assert unequivocally the divine authorship of the Qur’ān, Muhammad is but the messenger through which it was revealed. Theoretically, the Qur’ān is the primary source of guidance in the Islamic community (Ummah). The Qur’ān text does not, however, provide solutions for every specific problem that might arise. To determine norm of practice, Muslims turned to the lives of Prophet Muhammad and his early companions, preserved in Sunnah, the living tradition of the community. Originally the practicing of Sunnah varied from place to place, reflecting the pre-Islamic local customs of particular region. By the 9th century, however, the diversity evident in local traditions was branded as an innovation (bid’a).

  • Arabic Material in Zanzibar's National Archive
    CHAPTER 24 Textual sources on an Islamic African past: Arabic material in Zanzibar’s National Archive Anne K Bang The Zanzibar National Archives (ZNA) in the Kilimani district outside Zanzibar Stone Town is home to a rich collection of material in Arabic and also a number of documents in Swahili in the Arabic script.1 This material dates from the Omani era of East African history (c.1800–90) as well as from the period of the British protectorate (1890–1963). Among these is a large collection of Arabic manuscripts originating from Zanzibar itself, from East Africa, Oman as well as the Middle East. There is also a rich collection of Arabic correspondence deriving from the sultans of Zanzibar with contemporaries in Africa, the Middle East and Europe, as well as qadi (shari‘a) court records, title deeds and waqf files. The Islamic presence in East Africa has been both extensive and diverse, and this is reflected in the collection held in the ZNA. The richness and variety of the Free download from www.hsrcpress.ac.za collection recently led it to be nominated for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s Memory of the World Register.2 In the past decade, several researchers – African, western and Omani – have started to use this wealth of material as direct sources for historical research. The nature of the manuscripts and documents is almost exclusively Islamic, that is, a combination of manuscripts deriving from all Islamic sciences, legal handbooks and rulings, poetry and correspondence. Challenging statements by earlier scholars of Islamic Africa, Scott Reese has pointed out that texts of a religious nature are in themselves of historical value, in so far as they demonstrate a level of knowledge, interconnectedness and technology at a certain place at a certain point in time.

  • Online Islamic Da'wah Narratives in the UK: the Case of Iera
    Online Islamic Da'wah Narratives in the UK: The Case of iERA by MIRA A.

ABSTRACT This thesis is an in-depth study into two of the UK charity iERA's da'wah narratives: the Qura'nic embryology 'miracle' and the Kalam Cosmological Argument. While the embryo verses have received scholarly attention, there is little to no research in the da'wah context for both narratives. Berger and Luckmann's social constructionism was applied to both, which were problematic. It was found that iERA constructed its exegesis of the embryo verses by expanding on classical meanings to show harmony with modern science. Additionally, it developed the Cosmological Argument by adapting it to Salafi Islamic beliefs. The construction processes were found to be influenced by an online dialectic between iERA and its Muslim and atheist detractors, causing it to abandon the scientific miracles and modify the Cosmological Argument.

  • Al Azhar - Study Exchange Programme
    Al Azhar - Study Exchange Programme Egypt and England – a significant study exchange: Christians and Muslims learning about each other’s faith A significant development and strengthening of the relationship between the Anglican Communion and Al Azhar Al Sharif, the centre of Islamic learning in Cairo, Egypt, has taken place during November through two significant study visits. The first is that of the Grand Mufti of Egypt, His Eminence Dr Ali Gomaa, who delivered a talk at the University of Cambridge during the first week of November. A longer stay for study, of a month’s duration, was made by three younger Muslim scholars (El Sayed Mohamed Abdalla Amin, Farouk Rezq Bekhit Sayyid, Sameh Mustafa Muhammad Asal, graduate teaching assistants at the Faculty of Languages and Translation, Department of Islamic Studies in English, Al Azhar University) to Ridley Hall Theological College, Cambridge, England, November 1-29. Ridley Hall is well-known as a training centre for future Anglican clergy. Study exchange linked to Anglican Communion Al Azhar dialogue This double visit, of both Dr Gomaa, an eminent international Muslim scholar, and of three future Muslim religious leaders, is linked to the study exchange agreement signed by the Anglican Communion and Al Azhar Al Sharif in September 2005 at Lambeth Palace and ratified in the presence of Sheikh Al Azhar, Dr Mohamed Tantawy, at a meeting held at Al Azhar in September 2006. This process of study exchange has been developed to further the aims of the initial agreement between the Anglican Communion

The resulting intersections between literature and human rights, foregrounded by an overarching narrative of terror, have led to a new area of interdisciplinary enquiry broadly classed under human rights literature, at the point of the convergence of which lies the idea of human empathy.
