REKONSTRUKSI MAQA>SID AL-SYARI>>’AH JASSER AUDA Arina Haqan Institut Ilmu Keislaman Annuqayah (INSTIKA) Guluk-Guluk Sumenep [email protected] Abstrak Tulisan ini berusaha menjabarkan pemikiran Jasser Auda tentang Maqashid al-Syari’ah. Jasser Auda merupakan intelektual Islam modern yang mengkaji Maqashid al- Syari’ah dengan pendekatan sistem, yang berbeda dengan pandangan ulama klasik. Jasser Auda mengkaji maqa>s}id al- shari>’ah dengan perspektif baru. Dalam pandangannya, hifdzu al-nasl tidak lagi hanya sekadar menjaga keturunan, tapi dimaknai ulang dengan perlindungan terhadap keluarga dan institusi keluarga. Demikian pun hifdzu al-‘aql dimaknai ulang dengan melipat gandakan pola pikir dan research ilmiah; mengutamakan perjalanan untuk mencari ilmu pengetahuan, menekan pola pikir yang mendahulukan kriminalitas kerumunan gerombolan; menghindari upaya- upaya untuk meremhkan kerja otak. Hifdzu an-nafs dimaknai ulang dengan melindungi martabat kemanusiaan dan HAM. Hifdzu al-din dimaknai ulang dengan menjaga, melindungi dan menghormati kebebasan beragama dan berkepercayaan. Hifdzu al-mal dimaknai ulang dengan mengutamakan kepedulian sosial, pembangunan dan kesejahteraan sosial.

Journal of Social Studies Education Research SosyalBilgilerEğitimiAraştırmalarıDergisi 2020:11 (2), 151-173 www.jsser.org Social Conflict in Indonesia: Safeguarding a Nation as a New Approach for Resolving National Disintegration Iffatin Nur1 & Susanto2 Abstract The phenomenon of disintegration in Indonesia has been occurring since the political reforms that started in 1998 through the advent of radicalism and terrorism, eroding the national sense of identity and unity. This paper explores the national safeguarding concepts by emphasizing two research questions: (1) How do the social conflicts in Indonesia rooted in the religious perceptions threat the safety national buildings?, and (2) How are insights of national safeguarding nation approach from Haramain al-Juwayni’s View of Maqāṣid Sharī‘ah offer the way to resolve the national disintegration? This study takes the form of library research employing the content analysis from which various texts on Islamic nation buildings were examined. As a qualitative approach, this study focused on the analysis of themes of the purstanding Islamic influencers on Usul Fiqih. Thematic analysis regarding misleading perceptions on Islamic rules on the nation buildings and approach to resolve nation disintegration were presented. Through this study, we discovered that Islam offers a concept for safeguarding the sovereignty and unity of a nation, one that has not yet been extensively explored by previous scholars, namely maqāṣid sharī‘ah in the form of ḥifẓ al-dawlah (safeguarding a nation). There will hopefully be other comprehensive studies in future to bring forth other leading concepts for preserving national unity and integrity. Keywords: ḥifẓ al-dawlah; maqāṣid sharī‘ah; national disintegration; radicalism; terrorism Introduction The post-reform era has been marked by the onset of the democratization process, and it has become a fertile ground for groups that advocate conflict to grow (Fealy & Hooker, 2006). -

FOREWORD ISLAM SYMPOSIUM: AN INTRODUCTION ROBERT A. KAHN* I. ISLAM, CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTIES, AND THE CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE In early 2009, the University of St. Thomas Law Journal decided to hold a symposium on “Islamic Law and Constitutional Liberty.” One moti- vation for the symposium was the hostile reception given to the Archbishop of Canterbury’s speech calling for the British legal system to take a more positive attitude toward Islamic Law.1 Another motivation arose in Ontario, where opponents of Sharia law outlawed its application in family law-based arbitration following a lengthy campaign.2 In addition to these develop- ments—which bore directly on Islamic law—came a rising tide of Euro- pean laws aimed at Muslim clothing, especially the headscarf and burqa.3 To address the growing assertion that Islam is somehow incompatible with liberal democratic norms, the symposium directed its attention to the challenges, opportunities, and tensions that might exist between Islamic law * Associate Professor of Law, University of St. Thomas School of Law. 1.

Maqâshid Al-Sharî'ah in the Study of Hadîth and Its Implication for The
Proceedings of ADVED 2017- 3rd International Conference on Advances in Education and Social Sciences 9-11 October 2017- Istanbul, Turkey MAQÂSHID AL-SHARÎ’AH IN THE STUDY OF HADÎTH AND ITS IMPLICATION FOR THE RENEWAL OF ISLAMIC LAW (STUDY ON JASSER AUDA’S THOUGHT) Ahmad Syafi’i Sulaiman Jamrozi* *Mr., State Islamic University of Sunan Kalijaga, Indonesia, [email protected] Abstract Jasser Auda’s effort in researching, utilizing and developing re-assessment of Maqâshid looks different from the study of previous Maqâshid, because the starting point of his study initiated and triggered by the annual report of HDI of the Islamic world which is still relatively low. This Reality is what encourages Auda to undertake mappings, and critical studies of existing theory of Maqâshid through the mobilization and integration of the study using the scientific approach and social science as well as contemporary humanitarian issues related to human rights, gender, harmonious relations with non-Muslims, etc. The Writer through this limited research paper intends to explore further one side of Auda’s thought, mainly related to the concept of maqâshid in the study of hadîth. The central questions to be answered in this study are: 1) How is the conception of Auda’s thought of Maqâshid in an effort to contextualize narration of the Prophetic traditions as the primary source of Islamic law? 2) How is the methodological implication of the contextualization of Prophetic narrations based on Auda’s maqâshid in the contemporary of Islamic legal reform? By using descriptive-analytic and critical approach, this article is going to answer these questions. -
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. -

The Islamophobia Industry
Property of Pluto Press: Do Not Reproduce The Islamophobia Industry “This concise, accessible and illuminating book meets one of the most urgent needs of our time. Lean has provided a compelling counter-narrative that reveals the vested interests and highly organized networks of those who preach the virulent Islamophobia that is not only endangering world peace but is also corroding the tolerance and egalitarian ethos that should characterize Western society. This book should be required reading.” — Karen Armstrong “Islamophobia is not only about ignorance and fear. Some people purposefully nurture it and use it as a political strategy. Nathan Lean’s The Islamophobia Industry shows what is happening behind the scenes. It is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the rationale and objectives behind those who foster this new racism against Muslims.” — Tariq Ramadan, Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University and author of The Quest for Meaning “The climate of fear and cultural mistrust is one of the grim aspects of present-day society—but it doesn’t happen by accident. As this readable and well-researched book demonstrates, hatred sells; it can provide both money and power to those who profit from it. This book exposes the dirty secrets of those who try to manipulate public opinion against Muslims. It should be read by policymakers, concerned citizens, and everyone who values truth and intercultural understanding.” — Mark Juergensmeyer, Professor of Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence. “Nathan Lean has written a book of immense importance for our times. -
