ABSTRACT Questioning the Promotion of Friendship in Interfaith Dialogue: Interfaith Friendship in Light of the Emphasis on Particularity in Scriptural Reasoning Jennifer Ruth Fields ‘Friendship’ is among the buzzwords such as ‘peace’, ‘tolerance’, and ‘understanding’, that are part of a shared vocabulary in the interfaith world. In discussions of the goals and benefits of interfaith dialogue, buzzwords such as ‘friendship’ are often implicitly presented as a common currency, and there is little attempt to explore how people within each religious tradition might define, shape, and describe them differently. How might, for example, Christians and Muslims differ in their opinions on the nature, possibilities, and limits of interfaith friendship? Looking at general interfaith dialogue material and at material for a specific type of interfaith dialogue, ‘Scriptural Reasoning’, I consider Christian and Muslim discourse, including promotional material for charities, speeches by religious leaders, religious documents, non-academic material (e.g.

MUHAMMAD Under the Direction of Akinyele Umoja ABSTRACT During Elijah Muhammad’s tenure as leader of the Nation of Islam, he launched an eco- nomic program that sought to empower black people in America. This study examines the per- ceptions and experiences of five individuals who were directly involved in Muhammad’s eco- nomic program using a phenomenological approach. The findings of this study revealed that this program helped them develop an identity, provided a way out of economic oppression, improved their work ethic, made them economically self-sufficient, and the pioneers believe that this pro- gram has current applications.

  • Islam and the Concept of Justice
    Islam and the Concept of Justice Khalid Bin Ismail Centre For Islamic Thought and Understanding Universiti Teknologi MARA Perlis Email: [email protected] Abstract One of the principles which underly the Islamic worldview is justice. Justice also is the real goal of religion. It was the mission of every prophet. It is the message of every scripture. Islam is a religion which is a complete way of life. Justice is supreme and clearly defined in Islam, it is clearly emphasized that the objective of the creation of the universe is primarily to uphold justice and remove cruelty and evil. In this short paper the author shall attempt to elaborate the concept of justice and try to analayse it from Islamic theologico-philosphical views and not intended to discuss the topic mentioned above in various dimensions of discipline such as in politics, law and etceteras. Keywords: Islam, justice, theology, philosophy, Qur’an 1. Introduction Generally speaking, justice in Islam means placing something in its rightful place. In this regard, actually there are at least three very important aspects of justice. First, by placing someone in a post or function appropriate to his capabilities. Second, to meet our sentence or make a decision appropriate to a situation or the person about to receive it. Last one is that, to place wealth or property to those who rightly deserves them. Justice required by Islam is an entire justice without having regard to the differences in colour, sect and creed, its foundation lies in the command of Allah swt. Undoubtedly, Allah swt is the Most Just of all judges.

    Africana Islamic Studies THE AFRICANA EXPERIENCE AND CRITICAL LEADERSHIP STUDIES Series Editors: Abul Pitre, PhD North Carolina A&T State University Comfort Okpala, PhD North Carolina A&T State University Through interdisciplinary scholarship, this book series explores the experi- ences of people of African descent in the United States and abroad. This series covers a wide range of areas that include but are not limited to the following: history, political science, education, science, health care, sociol- ogy, cultural studies, religious studies, psychology, hip-hop, anthropology, literature, and leadership studies. With the addition of leadership studies, this series breaks new ground, as there is a dearth of scholarship in leadership studies as it relates to the Africana experience. The critical leadership studies component of this series allows for interdisciplinary, critical leadership dis- course in the Africana experience, offering scholars an outlet to produce new scholarship that is engaging, innovative, and transformative. Scholars across disciplines are invited to submit their manuscripts for review in this timely series, which seeks to provide cutting edge knowledge that can address the societal challenges facing Africana communities.

Arts, Hons) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2008 Acknowledgements I extend my sincerest gratitude first to the National University of Singapore (NUS) for granting me the Masters Research Scholarship that enabled me to carry out this undertaking. Also, my thanks go out to the librarians at various universities for assisting me track down countless number of primary and secondary sources that were literally scattered around the world. Without their tireless dedication and effort, this thesis would not have been feasible. The NUS library forked out a substantial sum of money purchasing dozens of books and journals for which I am grateful for. In New York, the friendly staff at Columbia University’s Butler Library, Union Theological Seminary’s Burke Library and Schomburg Centre for Research in Black Culture provided me access to newspaper articles, FBI files, rare books and archival materials that provided much content for my work. In Malaysia, the staff at the University of Malaya enabled me to browse through Za’aba’s extensive private collection that included the journal, Moslem World & the U.S.A. In the process of writing this thesis, I am indebted to various faculty members at the Department of History such as Assoc. Prof. Ian Gordon, Assoc. Prof. Michael Feener and Assoc. Prof. Thomas Dubois, who in one way or another, helped shape my ideas on Malcolm X’s intellectual beliefs and developed my skills as an apprentice historian.
