Models of Interpretation Verses of Rulings ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 13, 2020 MODELS OF INTERPRETATION VERSES OF RULINGS For Abu Hanifa al-Nu'man Qais Jaleel Karim Al-Khafaji Al-anbar University /College of Education for the Humanities Department of Quran Sciences Received: 14 March 2020 Revised and Accepted: 8 July 2020 INTRODUCTION Praise be to God who taught with the pen, taught man what he did not know, and blessings and peace be upon the proclaiming evangelist, and the luminous lamp, our master Muhammad ( Peace be upon him ) with whom God wiped out darkness, ignorance and disbelief, and removed the features of paganism and delusion, and with it the highest beacon of monotheism and faith and on his family and companions are the suns of knowledge and gratitude,and the followers to them with charity until the Day of Judgment. And yet: The purpose of preparing this research is to shed light on the position of Imam Abu Hanifa al- Nu'man in the interpretation. This aspect still needs an analytical study. As for the jurisprudence, the jurists in it have bestowed leadership on him, and they have not disputed the place of primacy in it, and it was written in his fragrant biography. Volumes, and he wrote in that the ancients and moderns in a way that did not remain with it to add to more, and nevertheless I saw it inappropriate to enter into the core of the research without the introduction to him by mentioning something related to the personality of the Imam as a way of blessing by mentioning that. It was said: By mentioning the righteous, mercy descends, otherwise it is ,he was very well- known. Imam Abu Hanifa says: “If the hadith is true, the hadith is my doctrine” (1) and he says: (It does not for the one who fatwas from my books to issue a fatwa until he knows where you said it from) (2), and I will highlights on some of his interpretive opinions in the verses of the provisions. The research was divided into four sections, an introduction and a conclusion, which dealt with introducing the personality of Imam Abu Hanifa, his name, his lineage, and his scientific upbringing. The first topic, I dealt with his interpretive views on the credo, and there are two issues, the first issue is his interpretive views on al-Istiwa, and the second issue in the knowledge of God Almighty. As for the second topic, I talked about his interpretive views on worship, and it contains six issues, the first issue: his interpretive views on ablution, the second issue his interpretive views on menstruation, the third issue: his interpretive views on (1) Haashiyat Ibn Abidin: 1/67, and Iqaadh al-Hamam: 62. (2) Al-Selection by Ibn Abdul-Barr: 145, and Al-Meezan Al-Kubra for Al Sharaani: 1/58. orientation to the Kaaba, the fourth issue: his interpretive views on fasting, and the fifth issue : His interpretive views on Hajj and Umrah, and the sixth issue: His interpretive views on Quest between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah. As for the conclusion, I outlined the most important results that I reached. If it is correct, then it is from God, and if it is not, then I ask God’s forgiveness for him, since perfection is for God alone. 3413 ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 13, 2020 Preface: Introducing Abu Hanifa al-Nu'man a.

Hamed Suliman Abuthawabeh, MA Al-Hussein Bin Talal University, Jordan Doi:10.19044/esj.2019.v15n26p139 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2019.v15n26p139 Abstract Several English writers from different literary periods, including the medieval and the Renaissance literature portray the people coming from the Arabian Desert in the frame of racial and religious otherness. Most writings stress the danger of those people by describing them as people whose only goal is to fight and kill Christians in order to conquer their lands, destroy their churches and force them to convert to Islam. Furthermore, the writers avoided calling those people by their national name, Arabs, or even by their religious name, Muslims. They used the name of Saracens instead. This study explores the etymology of the name of Saracens as well as the reasons why this name was used to describe most peoples who come from Middle East. The research also points out the relationship between the name of Saracens and the skin color as a major characteristic that distinguishes Arabs and most Muslims from European people. The findings of this research are very important in part because they are a contribution to the etymological studies of the name of Saracen, and in part because they clarify the real reasons why Arabs and Muslims were called Saracens by the medieval and Renaissance writers.

  • Is Any Benefit Prohibited in Islam?
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Is any benefit prohibited in Islam? Abozaid, Abdulazeem Qatar Foundation 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/92523/ MPRA Paper No. 92523, posted 21 Mar 2019 09:41 UTC IS ANY BENEFIT FROM A LOAN PROHIBITED IN ISLAM? Abdulazeem Abozaid Qatar Foundation Abstract It is a well-established rule in the Shariah (Islamic law) that a loan contract is of a charitable nature and as such the lender may not stipulate any excess or benefit from the borrower. However, it is also known in the Shariah that if the benefit from a loan comes to the lender voluntarily and it is not stipulated in the loan contract then it is permissible. This exception derives from some reports that the Prophet used to repay his debt with some increment, and to this effect he said: "The best amongst you are those who benevolently repay their debts”. Moreover, within Islamic law there exist some juristic opinions allowing the lenders to derive some indirect benefits from the loan contract, such as stipulating that the repayment of the debt is to be made in a place different from the one where the loan was first initiated, as this may save transfer costs and effort, or in utilizing, with conditions, the assets mortgaged against the loan. These exceptions may in principle nullify the general understanding that “any loan which results in a benefit is considered a form of usury” in Islam. The paper comes to define the prohibited benefits on a loan in Islam, thereby building the basis for addressing important questions, such as: i) are reciprocal loans prohibited in Islam? ii) is repaying the loan with excess to cater for inflation lawful? iii) is the benefit that pertains to the lender and does not harm or burden the borrower lawful? Answering these questions shall help set out the parameters for what constitutes unlawful benefits obtainable from a loan contract.

  • An Introduction to Collective Ijtihad (Ijtihad Jama‘I): Concept and Applications
    An Introduction to Collective Ijtihad (Ijtihad Jama‘i): Concept and Applications Aznan Hasan Abstract This article explores the concept of collective ijtihad as a means of determining new judicial judgments. Accordingly, it analyzes the theoretical framework of this kind of ijtihad and its applica- tion by discussing the various institutions that practice it. In gen- eral, this article seeks to present this as a practical mechanism for ascertaining the Shari‘ah’s opinion concerning the Muslim ummah on a variety of current issues. At the outset, it will pre- sent briefly the controversy concerning the closure of the gate of ijtihad, for this kind of ijtihad relies heavily upon our recogni- tion that, throughout the history of Islamic law, jurists have never abandoned the task of ijtihad. The Controversy Surrounding the Theory of the Closure of the Gate of Ijtihad In his introduction, Joseph Schacht asserted that Islamic law is no longer relevant to modern life, due to its inflexibility and consequent inability to meet the constant changes therein. He stated further that the nature of Islamic law’s unchanging principles had inevitably resulted in this situa- tion. At the time of the classical jurists, although the nature of the system was the same, those involved in legal matters found a remedy for Islamic Aznan Hasan has a B.A. (Hons.) from al-Azhar, an M.A. from Cairo University, and is cur- rently working on his Ph.D. in Islamic law at the University of Wales, Lampeter, England.

(BOA, A. DVNS. AHK. ŞM. d. nr. 8, s. 28, Evâhir-i ISLAMICJERUSALEM IN THE EYES OF SALAH AL-DIN: Muharre 251). A CRITICAL ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE LIBATION OF THE CITY FROM THE CRUSADERS Maher Y. ABU-MUNSHAR* ABSTRACT: Nearly a century after the brutal, and unforgiving, Crusader conquest of Islamicjerusalem, Sultan Salah al-Din succeeded in 1187CE in liberating the city. This seemingly insurmountable feat was accomplished when Salah al-Din succeeded in unifying the diverse racial, ethnic and denominational Muslims into a single, coherent fighting force - under his capable leadership. Consequently, this paper explores the nature of Salah al-Din's headship and the precise strategies he used in team-building, team-management that proved essential in his bid to restore the holy city to the Muslims. Moreover, this paper will examine the striking magnanimity Salah al-Din displayed towards the Christians, and others, in Islamicjerusalem – including their holy sanctuaries. KEYWORDS: Bayt al-Maqdis, Balian of Ibelin, Hittin, Dome of the Rock, the Holy Sepulchre, Palestine. INTRODUCTION Salah al-Din or Yusuf Ibn Ayyub was born in 532 AH /1137 CE in the town of Takrit, in modern Iraq (Reston, 2001: 4). Up until that date, Islamicjerusalem was already under the rule of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem for nearly 38 years since 1099 CE (Maalouf, 2006:50).
