New norms had to be developed and learned, and in the face of challenges Iwe had to discover new possibilities in the midst of limitations brought about by the nationwide situation. This is exemplified by our community’s quick adaptation and utilisation of digital mediums – from maintaining the spirit of philanthropy by contributing to zakat, mosques and charities, to adopting online Islamic learning, and adapting to the physical closure of mosques and the impact on religious life in Ramadan, on Aidilfitri and Aidiladha. Even the fifth pillar of Islam had to be put on hold as we had to opt to defer the Haj until a safer time. As a community and a nation, we have overcome major hurdles, but the crisis is far from over. The resilience and compassion that the Muslim community displayed was nothing short of inspiring as we adapted, overcame and helped others during this pandemic. Different segments of the community have come together to share and volunteer. We have seen neighbours come together to support the most vulnerable, be it sharing of food supplies for low income families or meals provision for our Muslim migrant workers. Community acceptance coupled with decisive intervention and the resilience of our institutions allowed us to adapt quickly to new norms. And it is this sense of community, at both the community and organisational level, that is going to help see us through this crisis.

  • The 500 Who Make the Islamic Economy
    The 500 who make the Islamic Economy 2015 PRE-VERSION INTRODUCTION The Islamic economy, also described as the Halal industry, is the fastest growing segment of world’s economy. It encompasses one human being out of five. It is a blank page that still needs to be written. The Islamic economy faces several challenges including: - the lack of structures and instruments to assess its development - the predominance of the Islamic finance segment - the communautarism An economy needs to be structured to develop to the fullest. In the Islamic economy, struc- tures, organisations, standards and instruments are all very new. The Global international organisations like the IMF or the Workd Bank have recently started to look at it seriously. Institutions tend to predominantly have a view on the sole Islamic financial segment, which is the visible part of the Islamic iceberg. Without sound structures, control bodies and instruments, the Halal industry will evolve between « Halalywood » and « Halaloween », a success or a horror show where the Muslim consumer will either win or lose. The riper segment of the Islamic Economy is Islamic Finance. The Economy and the Finance are interrelated. They need to complete each other. The Islamic economy is the body and Islamic finance is the blood that irrigates the body. If we want to avoid the clashes of the conventional world, we need to work at making Islamic finance a part of the Islamic economy and not the contrary. The Islamic economy is a vibrant part of world’s economy, just like fair trade or the organic segment industry. Islam should not suffer from communautarization which excludes rather than englobes.

  • Rethinking Madrasah Education in a Globalised World
    Review Copy - Not for Distribution Raihani el-Banjary - UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim - Riau - 15/01/2018 Rethinking Madrasah Education in a Globalised World Why is there a need to rethink madrasah education? What is the positioning of Muslims in contemporary society, and how are they prepared? What is the role of the ulama in the reform process? This book explores these questions from the perspective of madrasah education and analyses curricular and pedagogic innovations in Islamic faith-based education in response to the changing place of Islam in a globalised world. It argues for the need for madrasahs to recon- ceptualise education for Muslim children. Specifically, it explores the problems and challenges that come with new knowledge, biotechnological advancement and societal transformation facing Muslims, and identifies the processes towards reformation that impinge on the philosophies (both Western and Islamic), reli- gious traditions and spirituality, learning principles, curriculum and pedagogy. This book offers glimpses into the reform process at work through contemporary examples in selected countries.
