In comparison to other planets a speciality of the planet Earth is that it has been supplied with oxygen in such bounteous quantities to suffice creatures everywhere and that its purification and supply is constantly undertaken. It is another matter altogether that man at times works towards harming this gift of nature; so much so that the West has now developed weapons which when used eliminate the supply of oxygen from the area targeted. After air the second most important need is of water. Be it sweet or saline, water in both forms is required by man. Sweet water quenches thirst for us and the production of fruits, flowers, vegetables and grains is linked to it. Even the animals from which we derive meat would not be able to live without water nor would they receive nutrition. The saline water that courses the seas absorbs pollutants from the land. This evaporation in the form of steam is the basis of cloud formation and after getting filtered by the atmosphere this steam changes into the sweet water that later pours back to the ground. In essence the conditions for life are so arranged in Allah’s innovative scheme that they are dependent on the presence of (Al Anbiya: 30) ’ َ و َ َ َ ِ َن َا ِء ُل َ ٍء ‘ :water The growing population and industries also require huge amounts of water. It is thus that the issue of water is 13 gaining importance on a national as well as international scale and it is estimated that any future wars will be fought over water. Another truth lies in the fact that water resources are being exploited at a very high rate. The present scenario also raises many questions pertaining to the issue of water. As Muslims, it then falls upon us to deliberate on these issues in the light of Islamic sharia and disseminate the extroversive lessons gained from doing so into the world. With this backdrop the Islamic Fiqh Academy, India organized its 20 th seminar at Rampur titled “Water Resources and Related Provisions”. Not only in India but perhaps in the entire world, this seminar was the first of its kind which analysed the topic at hand from every perspective. Even though this was a relatively unfamiliar topic it was especially joyous to witness practitioners and masters of jurisprudence taking to their pens in such large numbers and presenting their papers on the various dimensions of the issue. Summaries of the various papers were distributed; the writers presented their papers on the various aspects of the issue, time was allotted for discussions and the panel then ruminated and put forward its observations. These papers have now been completed by Talha bin Ehtesham and are presented to the readers for their perusal. I pray that Almighty Allah accepts this endeavour and other academic endeavours on the academy’s part as Sadqah Jariah on behalf of the founder و ھو ا ن .Maulana Qazi Mujahidul Islam Qasmi Khalid Saifullah Rahmani (General Seceratary, Islamic Fiqh Academy, India) 3, January 2014 AD 14 Water Resources and Related Sharia Rulings One of man’s basic necessities is water. If the water is sweet, it quenches our thirst, is used in cooking, washing clothes and many other tasks. And even if it is saline like that of the seas its uses are manifold because nature has endowed it with the extraordinary properties of absorbing pollutants and dissolving contaminants. With the progression of culture and industry human population also incurs an increase. This in turn creates a larger demand for water, the shortage of which is a cause of worry for the entire world.

  • Defining Shariʿa the Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib
    Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review By Shoaib A. Ghias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Martin M. Shapiro Professor Asad Q. Ahmed Summer 2015 Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review © 2015 By Shoaib A. Ghias Abstract Defining Shariʿa: The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib A. Ghias Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Since the Islamic resurgence of the 1970s, many Muslim postcolonial countries have established and empowered constitutional courts to declare laws conflicting with shariʿa as unconstitutional. The central question explored in this dissertation is whether and to what extent constitutional doctrine developed in shariʿa review is contingent on the ruling regime or represents lasting trends in interpretations of shariʿa. Using the case of Pakistan, this dissertation contends that the long-term discursive trends in shariʿa are determined in the religio-political space and only reflected in state law through the interaction of shariʿa politics, regime politics, and judicial politics. The research is based on materials gathered during fieldwork in Pakistan and datasets of Federal Shariat Court and Supreme Court cases and judges. In particular, the dissertation offers a political-institutional framework to study shariʿa review in a British postcolonial court system through exploring the role of professional and scholar judges, the discretion of the chief justice, the system of judicial appointments and tenure, and the political structure of appeal that combine to make courts agents of the political regime.

    SHAH WALIULLAH'S CONTRIBUTION TO HADITH LITERATURE A CRITICAL STUDY ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF iortor of f l|tloHopl|i| IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY MUHAMMAD MOSLEH UDDIN UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROF. ABDUL ALI D.LItt. CHAIRMAN. DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2003 ABSTRACT The present work seeks lo investigate and study critically the contribution of Shah Waliuliah Muhaddith Dihiawi to Hadith literature. Shah WaJiuilah bin Abdur Rahim ai-'Umarial-Dihlawi(lil4H,-1176H./i703-1762) was lived in the eighteenth century C.E., an age of down fall of Muslim power, political dissetllement, social degeneration and educational backward- ness and indigence. Shah Waliuliah Dihiawi was an unparalleled Islamic scholar, thinker and reformer in Indian sub-continent. He spent the whole of his life in the service of religion and education and worked for the interest of Muslim-society. His sole anxiety all the time had been to see the Muslims powerful, strong and ruling based upon the Islamic system. He tried all his best to restore the Muslims' power and reform the society and revive the pure religion and establish an accurate and complete Islamic educational system.' Shah Waiiuiiah completed his education under his father Shaikh Abdur Rahim (d.li31H./1718) and other scholars in India and served as the teacher in Rahimiyah Madrasah which was established by his father in Delhi for twelve years. During this long teaching period he studied deep and widely and taught the students different religious and rational subjects, so he got the opportunity to reflect over a variety of issues.

  • Islamic Studies
    Page 11 Vision Students.in Islamic Studies are expected to develop both an all-inclusive knowledge of Islamic intellectual history and religious thought, as well as mastery of a particular field and the indispensable tools for critical erudition on Islam. We offer an open intellectual environment which produces a structure of study that will enable future generations of scholars to become specialists and experts in Islamic thoughts, culture and ideology. These graduates will be well-equipped to tackle the controversial issues and challenges facing Muslim communities across the globe. Mission The insidious influence of secular materialism and its value system dangerously challenges religious minded individuals and communities. In such a situation it is necessary to teach and promote the fundamental principles of Islamic Faith and virtuous conduct. The Islamic studies curriculum focuses on personality and character development with considerable attention to the real needs and concerns of students. Moreover, it aims at developing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to function successfully as Muslims in society. We make our best effort to foster the prerequisite skills needed to produce competent Muslims who are capable of presenting and defending the genuine and pristine teachings of Islam. Our mission is to positively affect and transform the world and prepare young men and women who are capable of carrying out this mission — morally, intellectually and emotionally. \ I ¢04.1 „..0 ,.,,,,. ,„ 6 .,..,o..v. 2.c,‘ o0 e.4e, Scheme of Studies with detailed Course Outlines (Compiled By: Dr Ata ur Rahman, Dr.Janas Khan & Saeed Akhtar, Deptt: of Islamic Studies UOM Page 12 LAYOUT FOR BS (4 YEAR) ISLAMIC STUDIES AS APPROVED BY HEC Compulsory Elective Courses General Courses Major Courses Requirements within the Major 9 courses 7-8 courses 22-26 courses 4 courses 21-24 25 Credit hours 36-42 Credit hours 12 Credit Hours Credit hours Cr.
