  • Islamic Jurisprudence and the Regulation of Armed Conflict
    ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE AND THE REGULATION OF ARMED CONFLICT FEBRUARY 2009 By Nesrine Badawi In collaboration with the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research (HPCR) at Harvard University, HPCR International hosts a Professional Development Program aimed at enriching humanitarian debate and improving responses to conflict by offering opportunities for mid-career professionals to develop skills, deepen knowledge, and participate in informal expert networks. Occasionally, background papers produced by expert s for the trainings are made available to a more general audience. Background papers are selected for wider distribution based on such factors as their contemporary relevance and potential to contribute to ongoing discussions. This paper was produced for a February 2009 Thematic Workshop on Islamic Law and Protection of Civilians that took place in Amman, Jordan. The views expressed herein are those of the author alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of HPCR or HPCR International. PROGRAM ON HUMANITARIAN POLICY AND CONFLICT RESEARCH HARVARD UNIVERSITY 1033 Massachusetts Avenue, Fourth Floor, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA Ph: (617) 384-7407 Fax: (617) 384-5908 [email protected] www.hpcr.org ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE AND THE REGULATION OF ARMED CONFLICT The increase in violent attacks against civilians and non-civilians and the claims made by groups waging such attacks that their acts are legitimate under Islamic law generated wide interest in Islamic ‘laws of war’. This paper attempts to challenge the approach focused on comparison between international humanitarian law (IHL) and Islamic law on the basis of the rules adopted in each system and argues that both legal regimes are governed by certain theoretical and ideological paradigms that are distinct from each other.

  • Cultural and Intellectual History of Indian Islam By
    CULTURAL AND INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF INDIAN ISLAM BY MUHAMMAD HAMIDULLAH Paris The Sub-Himalayan continent is practically as vast and as varied as Europe itself. The contacts with Islam began naturally with coastal regions, gradually and with a chequered history to embrace the whole country. There are numerous dynasties to deal; different centers have come into lime light at different epochs; and there is the history of over thirteen centuries to tell. It is just to initiate in the problems, not even all, that one can attempt in an article. First t Contacts The Arabs had contacts with India even before Islam, not only with Sind and Gujrat which lie so close to the Eastern borders of Arabia, but also with Malabar, in connection with commerce. Can't we perceive that in the saying of the Prophet, when he had received the delegation of a Yamanite tribe and had asked: "Who are these people who look like the people of Hind?" Or when a Yamanite deputation had gone to Ctesiphon to ask for the help of Chosroes against the Abyssinian occupants, and said: "We have been invaded by crows", the emperor asked: "Which crows, Indians or Abys- sinians ?" More positive evidence is furnished by Ibn al-Kalbi, who says: "Thereafter the fair of Daba (in 'Uman) which is one of the two principal ports of Arabia. There come the traders of Sind, of Hind, of China, of the people of the East and West. Its fair used to open on the last day of the month of Raj ab. The method of sale there was simple negotiation.

  • The Status of Rebels in Islamic Law Sadia Tabassum Sadiatabassum Is Lecturer in the Department of Law,International Islamic University,Islamabad
    Volume 93 Number 881 March 2011 Combatants, not bandits: the status of rebels in Islamic law Sadia Tabassum SadiaTabassum is Lecturer in the Department of Law,International Islamic University,Islamabad. She received her LLM in International Law from the same University. Abstract The Islamic law on rebellion offers a comprehensive code for regulating the conduct of hostilities in non-international armed conflicts and thus it can be used as a model for improving the contemporary international legal regime. It not only provides an objective criterion for ascertaining existence of armed conflict but also recognizes the combatant status for rebels and the necessary corollaries of their de facto authority in the territory under their control. Thus it helps reduce the sufferings of civilians and ordinary citizens during rebellion and civil wars. At the same time, Islamic law asserts that the territory under the de facto control of the rebels is de jure part of the parent state. It therefore answers the worries of those who fear that the grant of combatant status to rebels might give legitimacy to their struggle. The contemporary world faces many armed conflicts, most of which are deemed ‘internal’ – or ‘non-international’. This article attempts to identify some of the important problems in the international legal regime regulating these conflicts and to find solutions to these problems by taking the Islamic law of rebellion as our point of reference. Islamic international law – or Siyar – has been proven to deal with the issue of rebellion, civil wars, and internal conflicts in quite some detail. Every manual of fiqh (Islamic law) has a chapter on Siyar that contains a section on rebellion (khuruj/baghy);1 some manuals of fiqh even have separate chapters on rebellion.2 The Qur’an, the primary source of Islamic law, provides fundamental doi:10.1017/S1816383111000117 121 S.

  • Muhammad Hamidullah on the Islamic Theology of Revelation: Topics for A
    http://dx.doi.org/10.7213/cd.a9n14p84-98 Muhammad Hamidullah on the Islamic theology of revelation: topics for a discussion on comparative theology Muhammed Hamidullah e a teologia islâmica da revelação: elementos em vista de uma teologia comparativa César Andrade Alves1 Abstract The dialogue of theological exchange, which can be carried out as comparative theology, is one of the four forms of interreligious dialogue encouraged by the magisterium. A subject of great interest to this form of dialogue is divine revelation, within the field of fundamental theology. Regarding this subject, a discussion partner in the dialogue with Islam is Muhammad Hamidullah, one of the most distinguished Muslim scholars of the 20th century, whose work is the object of growing attention. This article has two objectives: (1) to highlight the importance of Hamidullah for a future work within comparative theology; (2) to categorize issues, derived from his analysis of revelation, that will be relevant to a later theological exchange with a Christian theology of revelation of an ecumenical nature in the light of the Second Vatican Council. Keywords Fundamental theology. Interreligious dialogue. Theological method. Islam. Muslim theology. Resumo O diálogo de intercâmbio teológico, que pode se desenvolver como teologia comparativa, é uma das quatro modalidades de diálogo inter-religioso fomentadas pelo magistério. Um tema de interesse para tal modalidade é a revelação divina, assunto por excelência da teologia fundamental. No diálogo com o islã acerca desse tema um interlocutor é Muhammad Hamidullah, um dos mais destacados acadêmicos muçulmanos do século XX e cuja obra é objeto de crescente interesse no meio acadêmico islâmico contemporâneo.

Muhammad Ashraff Publisher in 1977 and the author passed away in 2002. As far as contemporary books are concerned, this book may seem, at face value, quite old. His work is, nonetheless, more important than ever and is seminal in the current development of international law scholarship. Over a thousand years ago, fiqh al-siyar, especially works of Imam Shaybani, heavily influenced not only the Muslims but also the global civilization.1 As centuries passed, the Europeans conquered the world and held hegemonic domination of many aspects of life including international law.2 The Muslims, on the other hand, fell into a decline and were largely colonialized by Europe. The recent decade witnessed a rise of international law scholars criticizing the current construct of international law, arguing that it is * Lecturer at the Department of International Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia.

He is also rightly acknowledged for his ground- breaking research works on international Islamic law, biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Islamic politics and archival heritage of Islam. A less known but significant aspect of his contribution is his pioneering works on Islamic Economics. Spread over more than fifty years he wrote scores of papers in English, Urdu, Arabic, French and Turkish. In fact it was he who coined the term "Islamic Economics" by which this discipline is known worldwide today. Many firsts in this subject belong to him.
