These women have been at the forefront of writing about the equal rights of women in Islam. Although each looks at Islam from a different scholarly lens, their work involves trying to elucidate Muslim women’s equality as stated in Islamic religious texts such as the Qur’an and the ahadith, as well as looking at the actions of the Prophet Muhammad and Muslim women in the early Islamic period.

    Workshop 2: Institutional Reforms and Sustainable Development Narrative Report Marwa Radwan March 5-8, 2000 in Cairo, Egypt March 6, 2000 - Session One: The Need for Institutional Reforms in the MENA Region The session addressed various issues related to the reformation of the judiciary systems and the role of information data banks in assisting judges and researchers in locating the necessary information. Improvement and adaptation of new methods of managing the judiciary systems in the Arab World was one of the main topics discussed by a panel of lawyers and university professors. The panel included Mr. Wassim Harb of the Office of Informative Legal Research and Studies, Dr. Enid Hill, Professor of Political Science at the American University in Cairo and Dr. Ali Oumlil, professor at the University of Mohammed in Rabat, Morocco. Dr. Yahia El Gamal, former Minister and Professor of Constitutional law at Cairo University, served as moderator. Dr. Salim Nasr, General Director of the Lebanese Center, introduced the panel for Policy Studies in Lebanon. In his presentation titled “Improving the Administration of Justice in Arab Countries; Recent Experiences,” Dr. Wassim Harb gave a brief introduction on the history of judiciary systems in the Arab World and their evolution under the Ottoman Empire and British and French mandatory rule. He also referred to the similarities and differences among the Arab countries as far as the functioning of their judiciary systems is concerned. Similarities can be found in the steps a judgment passes through before it is finalized, primary judgment and the court of appeal and the use of what is known as specialized trials as in financial, managerial, or exceptional cases.

Nevertheless, there remains a pressing need to address socioeconomic deficits and social vulnerabilities without resorting to populist policies. To date, many Arab Governments have responded with politically expedient, but ill-conceived and costly programmes, which are unsustainable in the long term. Several countries are also turning to international aid before achieving national consensus on development plans or learning from previous plans. The experiences of European and Asian countries that have undergone similar transitions have shown that political instability, economic slowdown and increases in social vulnerabilities are typical during periods of political transition. They have also demonstrated the The experiences relationship between democratic transition and the of European establishment of strong and inclusive political and and Asian economic systems. In the Arab region, political reform countries debates have overshadowed discussions on economic have shown reform and its challenges and opportunities, without that political tackling the links between the two issues.

  • Research Article the Contemporary Significance of Ibn Khaldun For
    OPEN ACCESS Submitted: 21 August 2019 Accepted: 6 November 2019 Research article The Contemporary Significance of Ibn Khaldun for Decolonial Sociology: Methodological and Theoretical Dimensions Syed Farid Alatas Professor, Departments of Sociology & Malay Studies, National University of Singapore [email protected] Abstract This paper discusses the significance of Ibn Khaldun for the social sciences with reference to a number of methodological and theoretical dimensions. The discussion revolves around what I refer to as the levels of scholarship on Ibn Khaldun, which range from the meta-theoretical to the empirical and applied. It is claimed that in order for Ibn Khaldun to be taken seriously by the major disciplines in the social sciences, more work of a meta-theoretical and theoretical nature on his writings needs to be done. It is further argued that when considered in terms of all the levels of scholarship, Ibn Khaldun’s work should be viewed as an exemplar for a modern social science that is rooted in Islamic tradition. The paper makes the case for Khaldunian sociology as an aborted tradition in the modern social sciences, introduces the levels of scholarship, and discusses the levels at which Khaldunian scholarship is more and less prominent. The paper also raises a methodological and theoretical issue in relation to Ibn Khaldun’s work. Keywords: Ibn Khaldun; Decolonial; Sociology; Method; Theory Cite this article as: Alatas S.

  • Readers Battalion in Abdul Rahman Bin Alashaath Army
    European Scientific Journal June 2015 edition vol.11, No.17 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 READERS BATTALION IN ABDUL RAHMAN BIN ALASHAATH ARMY Dr. Mohammad Sayah Al Essa Department of History, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Al-albayt University, Jordan Abstract Abdul Rahman bin Alashaath revolution was considered one of the most important and most dangerous revolutions in the Umayyad period, even though it was not doctrinal. This revolution started from the eastern borders of the Islamic state against Iraq. Wali Al-Hajjaj bn Yusuf Thaqafi rose up and took over from Al Khalifa Abdul Malik bin Marwan. What distinguishes this revolution share readers of the people of Iraq in addition to a large number of loyalists who were indignant by the economic and social conditions? Readers played an important role in the revolution and they were able to achieve many victories. However, Al-Hajjaj managed to defeat them at the Battle of Deir Al-jamajem and abolish their revolution. Keywords: Introduction Iraq had witnessed many revolutions and upheavals during Umayyad period. Abdul Rahman bin Alashaath revolution was considered (81-84hjeri / 700-703m) to be the most important and the most dangerous revolution. This took place especially after the time of succession of Abdul Malik bin Marwan (86 H / T 705 m). Thus, this revolution was specifically against Al- Hajjaj bin Yousef Al-Thaqafi (95 H / T 714 m) who was the Wali of Iraq. Historians and researchers expatiated on the analysis of this revolution and its causes. Thus, it began as a result of the personal ambition of its Leader, Abdulrahman bin Al-Ashaath.

  • Islamic” Self and the Other
    Chapter IV The “Islamic” Self and the Other 4.1 Introduction As pursued in Chapter III, the aim of this chapter is to trace back the histori- cal evolution of the construction of the “Islamic” Self and its Other. In par- ticular, the conflicts which have waged for centuries between Muslims and their external and internal opponents are illustrative of the apparent tension between the “Islamic” Self and its Other. The conflict between the “Islamic” Self and its Other can also be interpreted as a possible strategy to divide and rule over humanity. This historical approach will be particularly useful for the next Part III which juxtaposes the positivist and historical analysis of ILW. In this Part II, as will be submitted, it is also possible that the historical justifi- cations and explanations as formulated from the Western perspective in the previous Chapter III are not that different from the Islamic perspective either. Consequently, when building upon these positivist and historical analyses of, respectively, the laws of armed conflict and the contexts in which these laws have applied and are still applicable, the next Chapters V and VI, respectively on the structure of the legal arguments in ILW and IHL, can actually also be similar. From the period of Revelation onwards, the message of Islam faced oppo- sition within the Arabian Peninsula. Nevertheless, the Prophet Muhammad was determined to defend the cause of God and spread His word around the world for the benefit of the whole of humanity. Islam united peoples and tribes across different borders and instituted tolerance for the non-Muslim inhab- itants.
