  • The Conceptual Elements of the Development Worldview in the Qur'an: a Study of Thematic Exegesis
    American International Journal of Social Science Vol. 2 No. 3; May 2013 The Conceptual Elements of the Development Worldview in the Qur’an: A Study of Thematic Exegesis Mohd Shukri Hanapi, Ph.D Lecturer of Islamic Development Management Program Centre for Islamic Development Management Studies (ISDEV) School of Social Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia 11800 Penang, Malaysia. Abstract This paper aims to identify and analyze selected verses of the Qur'an that are related to the conceptual elements of the development worldview (tasawwur). Development worldview here refers to the comprehensive view and a true and correct picture of Islamic-based development (IbD). It aims to explain the whole characteristics of the IbD holistically, as the basis of all development activities in human life. In the Qur'an, the verses of the conceptual elements of the development worldview are actually located separately in many chapters (surah). The question then is which ones of the verses could be accounted as the verses of the development worldview? What are the conceptual elements of the development worldview in the Qur'an that could be constructed from these verses? This paper attempts to seek for the answer through three main purposes. Firstly, to identify the selected verses of the Qur'an that is related to the development worldview. Secondly, using a thematic exegesis approach, to analyze the identified Quranic verses of the development worldview; and thirdly, to develop the conceptual elements of the development worldview based on the identified verses of the Qur‘an. The main objects studied in this paper are the Quranic verses themselves.

  • Concept of Islamic Education in the Qur'an
    CONCEPT OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN THE QUR'AN Muh.

For human education is an important effort to instill and actualize Islamic values in real life through faithful and pious Muslims who, according to the dignity and degree of humanity as a caliph on earth. The concept of education in Islam which refers to the teachings of the Qur'an, there are three basic concepts: cultivation of faith and aqidah, educational pillars and social ethics as revealed from Lukman's advice to his son. Keywords: concept, islamic education, quran A. Prologue Alquran is the words of Allah which is then used as the way of life of the Muslims1 that there is no doubt in it.

  • The Qur'an, Reason, and Revelation: Islamic Revelation and Its
    The Qur’an, Reason, and Revelation 403 The Qur’an, Reason, and Revelation: Islamic Revelation and Its Relationship with Reason and Philosophy Rasoul Namazi University of Chicago [email protected] Since the arrival of revealed religions and their encounter with Greek phi- losophy, the issue of the relationship between reason and revelation has been one of the most important problems in the history of thought. One impor- tant aspect of this issue is that it determines and guides the relationship that philosophers have with religious writings, which rest upon faith in divine revelation. Knowing that they are products of a miraculous contact with God, how should one approach them? Can they be read, understood, and evaluated like any other writing? Is a philosophic approach to revealed texts possible? More importantly, are revealed texts compatible with the spirit of philosophy? Do revealed texts approve or disapprove of the pursuit of knowl- edge through natural human reason? In this paper, I intend to study the relationship between the Qur’an and philosophy. Naturally one must first explain what one means by “philosophy” and expound its relationship with divine revelation and faith. Let me begin with the question of reason before turning to philosophy. The clearest discus- sion of the reason-faith distinction is found in Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica.1 As Aquinas explains, to have faith is to assent to something, to The author would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their helpful and constructive com- ments, which greatly contributed to improving the final version of the paper. 1 Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, trans.

  • The Quran and the Secular Mind: a Philosophy of Islam
    The Quran and the Secular Mind In this engaging and innovative study Shabbir Akhtar argues that Islam is unique in its decision and capacity to confront, rather than accommodate, the challenges of secular belief. The author contends that Islam should not be classed with the modern Judaeo–Christian tradition since that tradition has effectively capitulated to secularism and is now a disguised form of liberal humanism. He insists that the Quran, the founding document and scripture of Islam, must be viewed in its own uniqueness and integrity rather than mined for alleged parallels and equivalents with biblical Semitic faiths. The author encourages his Muslim co-religionists to assess central Quranic doctrine at the bar of contemporary secular reason. In doing so, he seeks to revive the tradition of Islamic philosophy, moribund since the work of the twelfth century Muslim thinker and commentator on Aristotle, Ibn Rushd (Averroës). Shabbir Akhtar’s book argues that reason, in the aftermath of revelation, must be exer- cised critically rather than merely to extract and explicate Quranic dogma. In doing so, the author creates a revolutionary form of Quranic exegesis with vitally significant implications for the moral, intellectual, cultural and political future of this consciously universal faith called Islam, and indeed of other faiths and ideologies that must encounter it in the modern secular world. Accessible in style and topical and provocative in content, this book is a major philosophical contribution to the study of the Quran. These features make it ideal reading for students and general readers of Islam and philosophy. Shabbir Akhtar is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, USA.

  • (Guardianship): the Authority Over a Woman's Choice in Marriage And
    November, 2019 Granite Journal Issue on Gender issues and how they affect human lives Walayah (Guardianship): The Authority Over A Woman’s Choice in Marriage and How This Reflects A Desire To Control and Kafa’a (Equality): A Barrier To A Woman’s Marriage Choice? Muhammad Farooq Divinity, University of Aberdeen A b s t r a c t This article explores the adult woman's consent as a paramount element in contracting a Muslim marriage. It considers whether permission of the wali (male guardian) is a condition, per se, for a valid marriage in the eyes of the law and of Sharia. In order to address the issue in hand, it provides a brief overview of contemporary writers' opinions, in which the appropriate place of a woman's consent in Muslim marriage is highlighted. Key to the idea of a young Muslim woman's marriage, the doctrine of kafā’a (equality or suitability), the match between the man and woman, and its grounding in patriarchal and social norms is also discussed. The main conclusion of this paper is that both concepts are used in a bid to keep the upper hand in the marriage. Also, on the one hand, the marriage guardianship is a desire of controlling position of the man and on the other, kafā’a limits the woman's choice in choosing a life partner.
