  • Punishment for Rape in Islamic Law
    Page 1 Malayan Law Journal Articles/2009/Volume 5/PUNISHMENT FOR RAPE IN ISLAMIC LAW [2009] 5 MLJ cxiv Malayan Law Journal Articles 2009 PUNISHMENT FOR RAPE IN ISLAMIC LAW Dr Azman Mohd Noor Assistant Professor Department of Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh International Islamic University Malaysia In Islam, rape is considered to be a serious sexual crime. Since it consists of forcible sexual intercourse, most of the classical jurists called it zina bi al-ikrah, that is, forcible unlawful sexual intercourse. The ques- tionarises as to whether rape is part of zina or an isolated crime. This paper focuses on the notion of rape, including a definition of this crime, its punishments and a comparison between rape and zina in Islamic ju- risprudence. INTRODUCTION Many controversial issues have arisen recently pertaining to rape, ranging from the actual definition of rape, its classification, adjudication and punishment, and ending with the compensation that is to be paid to the rape victim(s). To a layman, rape has always been associated with zina in the sense that both crimes involve sexual intercourse; this perception is in fact not quite right. To make things more confusing, some modern Islamic Courts in the Muslim world today too, have posited rape to zina in which the victim could be liable for slanderous accusation (qadhf) if she fails to produce four male eyewitnesses to support her indictment. Modern as well as classical scholars of the past have thoroughly studied the issues, based on Islamic sources, and have arrived at the standard of proof required to convict a rapist.

  • 1 Contemporary Wahhabism Rebranded As Salafism
    FIl se peut q ue quelqu ’un d ise : FIl se peut q ue quelqu ’un d ise : Contemporary Wahhabism rebranded as Salafism: the issue of interpreting the Qur’anic verses and hadith on the Attributes of God and its significance Submitted by Namira NAHOUZA to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arab and Islamic Studies, April 2009. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signature) ......................................................................................... 1 ABSTRACT This research studies the theology of those Wahhabis who have now named themselves Salafis. For the purpose of the study, they are referred to as the ‘Wahhabis-self-named- Salafis’ (WSNS). The thesis starts with the observation that the WSNS are usually studied from a political perspective, much less frequently a theological one. Recent research has identified that the theological background of all the different factions of the WSNS is one and the same. This is true for the WSNS who advocate a peaceful way to achieve their goals, as well as those who do not. This thesis aims to explore some of the theological issues that unify these factions. This research demonstrates that, because the WSNS are opposed to the very concept of interpretation of the Qur’an and the hadith, especially when these texts deal with important theological issues such as the Attributes of God, they have developed a vision of Islamic history which is entirely different from the one which had traditionally been accepted by most Muslim scholars and Western academics.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Praise belongs to Allah, the Mighty, Giver of Gifts, King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the One Who sent the book down upon His slave, as a guidance and a reminder to those of understanding. Within it He placed the furthest limit of wisdom, decisive discourse, useful sciences, and conclusive proofs. He singled out for it the most astonishing of every astonishing wonder of exalted qualities, concealed subtleties, clear indications and divine secrets. He made it at the highest level of elucidation so that it is impossible for men and jinn [to imitate]. Scholars who are masters of language recognise the eloquence, skill, composition, syntax and abundant goodness it contains. He made its memorisation in the breasts easy and guaranteed its protection from being exchanged or altered, so that it has not changed, and will not, during the entire length of time and the course of epochs. He made it a distinct speech and a just judgement, a clear sign and an enduring miracle, which was testified to by whoever witnessed the revelation as well as whoever was absent, and by it the argument on behalf of the penitent believer, and the proof against the doubting disbeliever will be established. He guides people by the judgements He lays down in it, makes clear the halal and the haram and teaches the rites of Islam. He alternates the mention of prohibitions, commands, exhortations, restrictions, good news of reward and warning of punishment. He makes the people of the Qur’an the people of Allah and His choicest friends.

  • Implications of Urwatel Wusqa from the Perspective of Interpreters: Emphasis on the Ideas Presented by the Author of Bayān Al-Sa'ādah Tafsir
    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND February 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Implications of Urwatel Wusqa from the Perspective of Interpreters: Emphasis on the Ideas Presented by the Author of Bayān al-sa'ādah Tafsir Hassan Shojae’Bahar Faculty of Theology and Islamic Studies, Department of Islamic Studies, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran * Seyyed Hosseien Seyed Mousavi *Corresponding Author: E- mail: [email protected] Hassan Naghizadeh Abstract Quran is a book of guidance and guides us to bliss and happiness. It is necessary for all Muslims to understand and obey its orders. In this regard, Muslim scholars, particularly interpreters, try to explain and interpret its verses. Explaining the concept and implications of “Urwatel Wusqa” has been a remarkable point of attraction for interpretation scholars so that it is a subject for conflicting views. This article tries to answer these questions: What is the concept and meaning of Urwatel Wusqa? What instances have been introduced for the word by interpreters? What is the idea presented by the author of Bayān al-sa'ādah Tafsir? Is his idea consistent or inconsistent with others? The author of Bayān al-sa'ādah Tafsir believes that the meaning of Urwatel Wusqa is guardianship (Welayat); but most interpreters have presented other meanings such as faith, Unity, Islam, Quran, Imams (AS), and Ali (AS) for the concept of Urwatel Wusqa. It seems Urwatel Wusqa cannot be limited to one instance and all cases may be true. Some meanings such as guardianship can be the completed and conclusive meanings. Keywords: Urwatel Wusqa, no force in religion, guardianship, Bayān al-sa'ādah, interpretation.

Gharar in Post-Formative Islamic Commercial Law: A Study of the Representation of Uncertainty in Islamic Legal Thought Abstract This study analyzes the conception of gharar , which is generally translated as either risk or uncertainty, in post-formative Islamic commercial law. According to Muslim jurists, gharar arises from uncertainty in commercial transactions. However, unlike other areas of the Islamic intellectual tradition in which uncertainty engenders errors, the uncertainty associated with gharar enables jurists and counterparties to make informed legal and financial decisions. Nevertheless, gharar is not structurally a form of certainty. In order to understand this interesting paradox and reach a better understanding of representation in general, this study employs discourse analysis to trace the concepts, reasoning methods, and descriptive techniques that Ibn Hazm (d. 1064), Baji (d. 1081), Shirazi (d. 1083), Sarakhsi (d. 1090), Ibn Qudama (d.1223), and Ibn Rushd (d. 1261) use in order to represent gharar .

  • Journey to Mecca Educator's Guide
    Educator’s Guide www.journeytomeccagiantscreen.com Journey to Mecca: In the footsteps of Ibn Battuta Ibn Battuta is considered one of the world’s greatest travelers. During the 14th century, he traveled an estimated 75,000 miles across most of the Eastern Hemisphere, three times farther than Marco Polo, in search of knowledge and for the love of travel. In today’s world, this encompasses over 40 countries. To share the learning and research so highly valued by Islamic culture, the Sultan of Morocco, Abu Inan Faris, wanted Ibn Battuta’s worldwide travels recorded and published when he returned home to Morocco after almost 30 years. Ibn Juzayy, a Moroccan Court Secretary, was appointed to write down Ibn Battuta’s reminiscences. His travel journal, The Rihla (formally titled A Gift to the Observers Concerning the Curiosities of the Cities and the Marvels Encountered in Travels), documents this enormous achievement and is I set out alone, having neither the inspiration for the film.
