  • Inquiry Into the Status of the Human Right to Freedom of Religion Or Belief
    Inquiry into the status of the Human Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief Submission: Inquiry into the status of the human right to freedom of religion or belief This purpose of this submission is to raise the committee’s awareness that Islam: - militates against “the enjoyment of freedom of religion or belief” - incites to “violations or abuses” of religious freedom - is antithetical and inimical to the “protection and promotion of freedom of religion or belief” Any inquiry into “the human right to freedom of religion or belief” which avoids examining arguably the largest global threat to those freedoms would be abdicating its responsibility to fully inform its stakeholders. Whether it is the nine Islamic countries in the top ten of the World Watch List of Christian Persecution(1), crucifix-wearing “Christians in Sydney fac(ing) growing persecution at the hands of Muslim gangs”(2) or the summary execution of those who blaspheme or apostatise(3), Islam, in practice and in doctrine, militates against “the human right to freedom of religion or belief”. The purpose of this submission is not to illustrate “the nature and extent of (Islamic) violations and abuses of this right” [which are well-documented elsewhere(4)] but to draw the committee’s attention to the Islamic doctrinal “causes of those violations or abuses”. An informed understanding of Islam is crucial to effectively addressing potential future conflicts between Islamic teachings which impact negatively on “freedom of religion or belief” and those Western freedoms we had almost come to take for granted, until Islam came along to remind us that they must be ever fought for.

To proceed: My honoured sister, Indeed for you is an important and great role; and you must rise and fulfill your obligatory role in Islam 's confrontation of the new Crusade being waged by all the countries of the world against Islam and the Muslims. I will address you in these papers, and I will prolong this address due only to the importance of the topic; [a topic] that is in need of double these papers. So listen, may Allah protect and preserve you. The Muslim Ummah today is suffering from types of disgrace and humiliation that cannot be enumerated; [disgrace and humiliation] that it was not familiar with in its previous eras, and were never as widespread as they are today. And this disgrace and humiliation is not a result of the smallness of the Islamic Ummah or its poverty - it is counted as the largest Ummah today, just as it is the only Ummah that possesses the riches and elements that its enemies do not possess. And the question that presents itself is: what is the reason for this disgrace and humiliation that the Ummah suffers from today, when it is not in need of money or men? We say that

  • Calibration of Gantang (Sa') Based On
    ASM Sci. J., 9(2), 17–28 Calibration of Gantang (Sa’) Based on Metric System for Agricultural Zakat in Malaysia 1 2 3 4 A. R. Azman *, D. N. A. Said , H. Hafidzi and A. A. Sa’dan Giving zakat is the third of the five pillars of Islam and it is obligatory. The issues arose when the gantang for zakat payment in Malaysia is converted to kilogramme, a metric unit for weight as usually used for foods and there was no available standard for gantang used for zakat payment in Malaysia. However, this unit is inaccurate since gantang (sa’) is not a measure of weight (mizan) but it is a measure of volume (mikyal). Thus, the objective of this research is to study the volume of the sa’ and to calibrate it in the correct metric unit for standardisation purpose. A qualitative method was used by calibrating the gantang replica at Volume Laboratory, National Metrology Institute of Malaysia and the interviews with State Islamic Council, State Zakat Centre and State Mufti Department. From the calibration, the capacity of the gantang (sa’) was obtained, and subsequently, the respective capacities for cupak and agricultural nisab were calculated. The finding of the research found that the volume of gantang was important in the determination of nisab, a minimum amount of crop for a certain cropping season. Hopefully this research would be a guideline for all states in Malaysia to be more systematic and efficient for thezakat agriculture determination. Key words: Gantang (Sa’ ); cupak (Mudd ); agriculture zakat nisab; metric unit; crop determination; guideline Gantang is a dry volume measure akin to the gallon and In 2007, National Metrology Institute of Malaysia it has a smaller version which is known as cupak (mudd ).

  • ?The Regulation of Purity (?Ah?Ra) and Impurity
    Al-Mahdi Institute?s 8th Annual VIRTUAL Contemporary Fiqh? Issues workshop ?The Regulat ion of Purit y (?ah?ra) and Im purit y (Naj?sa) in Islam : Pract ical, Socio-Et hical and Theological Im plicat ions? 2nd - 3rd July 2020 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION The practical importance of regulations pertaining to purity (?ah?ra) and impurity (naj?sa) in Islam are testified to, not only by the typical treatment of purity as the opening chapter within works of juristic rulings, but also by their immense relevance to the daily lives of Muslims. Jurisprudential discussion of 1. INTRODUCTION impurities (naj?sa) - be they regarding essentially impure substances (najis al-?ayn) or the different states of impurity - likewise are far from being merely theoretical. Such rulings inform the nature of Muslim communal life, social interactions with non-Muslims and are relevant to the financial regulation of permissible and impermissible trade and profit. 2. SPEAKERS BIOS & ABSTRACTS Many of these rulings are female-specific or female-centred, yet analysis of the gendered nature of these rulings, and their implications, is seriously underdeveloped. Furthermore, questioning the nature of regulations on im/purity ? such as whether they are purely devotional (mawlaw?) or simply instrumental (irsh?d?) ? leads to further questioning the role of empirical knowledge and reason in understanding, and seeking to live in accordance with, divine intent. The workshop aims to directly engage with questions related to the regulation of im/purity within Islam such as; - Historical studies regarding rulings of im/purity, their textual origins, social contexts and processes of codification into Islamic jurisprudence.

  • Early Muslim Legal Philosophy
    EARLY MUSLIM LEGAL PHILOSOPHY Identity and Difference in Islamic Jurisprudence OUSSAMA ARABI Copyright 1999, G.E. von Grunebaum Center for Near Eastern Studies University of California, Los Angeles In Loving Memory of My Father Author’s Note owe special thanks to the Faculty and Staff of the G.E. von IGrunebaum Center for Near Eastern Studies at the Univer- sity of California, Los Angeles, where the research for this pa- per was conducted in the spring and summer of 1995. In particular, my thanks go to the Center’s Director, Professor Irene Bierman, Assistant Director Jonathan Friedlander, Research Associate Dr. Samy S. Swayd, Professor Michael Morony, and Senior Editor Diane James. All dates in the text unspecified as to calendar are Hijri dates. Introduction here is an essential relation between identity and reli- Tgion in human societies. Among the pre-Islamic Arabs, this connection found expression in the identification estab- lished between the Arab tribes, their mythical progenitors and their respective gods. Each tribe had its own privileged god(s), and the great grandfather of the tribe — a half-human, half- divine figure — was conceived as responsible for the introduc- tion of the worship of that specific god. These aspects of group identity point to a tripartite structure comprising kinship, re- ligion and identity in intricate combination. It would be a fascinating course of inquiry to trace the incidence of mono- theism in the complex identity structure of pre-Islamic Arab communities. In this paper I examine the repercussions of monotheistic Islam on a specific cultural product, viz., legal discourse, investigating the issue of the unitary identity of Is- lamic law as this identity transpires in both the legal philoso- phy and the practice of Islamic law during its formative period in the second century of Islam.

  • The Hadith of Rajab Fasting in a Simultanneous Research
    International Journal Of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 7, Issue 7, July-2016 729 ISSN 2229-5518 The Hadith of Rajab Fasting in a Simultanneous Research Dr.Damanhuri [email protected] Lecturer at the State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya Indonesia. Abstract : The researched Hadith of Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. about Rajab fasting was a narrated hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas booked by Muslim. In hadith above, there were some narrators/rawi such as Abu Bakr Ibn Aby Shaybah, Abd Allah Ibn Numair, Uthman Ibn Hakim al Ansari, Sa’id Ibn Jubayr and Abd Allah Ibn ‘Abbas. In his partial analyses, there were some conclusions that: 1. All of narrators that involved in Hadith sanad were qualified: 2. Thiqa, All the narrators met with another narrators as the teachers: 3. And the hadith matan was free from shadh aspect: 4. The hadith matan was free from illat. So it can be concluded that narrated hadiths of Anas Ibn Malik which were collected by Muslim were qualified (sahih). In simultaneous analyzes, found that that hadith had 4 (four) tabi’ qasir. Because all of the narrators who were narrated by Muslim were thiqah qualified and the sanad connectivity was also muttasil, so the present of 4 tabi’ ´hadiths couldn’t improve the quality of main hadith sanad or mutaba’ that had been sahih in quality. Later on, simultaneously, that hadith had 4 (four) shahid ma’nawi hadiths. Those hadiths were narrated by 4 (four) different friends, as: Sa’id Ibn Sa’id, Anas Ibn Malik, ‘Abd Allah Ibn ‘Umar, and Abi Dharr.
