  • Understanding Shirk
    Islamic Centre – Leicester Towards Understand Aqeedah – Session II Programme Two; Understanding Shirk. 2.0 Shirk- Introduction. Shirk is to associate somebody or something in Allh’s inherent nature or in any of His attributes. This is the greatest of all crimes according to Allh, as the Qur’n states that He is willing to forgive all types of sins except Shirk (4:116). This fact is sufficient to warn us of the magnitude of this crime. 2.1 Defining Shirk; Imam al-Qurtub"’s definition. The Qur’anic scholar Allama Qurtub( (d. 673 A.H./1273 C.E.) offers a detailed definition of Shirk in his Tafs(r, al-Jmi’ li Ahkm al-Qur’n. 1 He writes that there are three different stages or forms of Shirk, and all three and forbidden (Harm). (i) To consider a being other than Allh (a tree, idol, person, jinn etc.) worthy of worship. This is the major form of Shirk, and the type of Shirk committed by the people of the Jhiliyya period. 2 (ii) To consider another being other than Allh can perform and create certain actions independently (without Allh), even if the person does not believe that that person/being is a God. (iii) Lastly, Shirk in worship, and this is Riy (showing off). This too is a form of Shirk. From this we can appreciate that Shirk is when someone (i) ascribes a partner to Allh in His essence or attributes (ii) with the knowledge and belief that this being/object is worthy of such accolade and that it can be done independently of Allh.

One chapter of Bukhâri Sharîf is taught to the students, in which Hazrat Moulana’s experiences of life, lessons he learnt from his elders and beneficial points of islâh (reformation) are explained, which will guide each and every person to the object of his life, which is to acquire the pleasure of Allâh . These lessons are not taught as students are formally taught, with deep academic and theoretical discussions. Here, more emphasis is placed on imbibing within oneself noble qualities, removal of evil qualities, cultivation of taqwâ and preparation for the life of the hereafter, which is the actual soul and object of knowledge. The lessons are delivered in the Urdu language, which has been translated into English, but not verbatim. At places, certain sentences were placed earlier or later, and slight changes might have been made to keep the flow of the text.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Articles & Chapters by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@NYLS. DUE PROCESS IN ISLAMIC CRIMINAL IAW SADIQ REZA* ABSTRACT Rules and principles of due process in criminal law-how to, and how not to, investigate crime and criminal suspects, prosecute the accused, adjudicate criminal cases, and punish the convicted-appear in the traditional sources of Islamic law: the Quran, the Sunna, and classical jurisprudence. But Jew of these rules and principles are fol­ lowed in the modem-day practice of Islamic criminal law. Rather, states that claim to practice Islamic criminal law today mostly follow laws and practices of criminal procedure that were adopted from European nations in the twentieth century, without reference to the constraints and protec­ tions of Islamic law itself. To enforce Islam's criminal prohibitions and punishments without recognizing and heeding its own procedural rul.es and principles is to prosecute and punish unjustly. What constitutes criminal due process from an Islamic perspective must therefore be identi­ fied, articulated, and enforced. The result would be greater compliance with both Islamic norms and international standards of human rights.

Forte* For a little over a century, Islamic law has suffered progressive shocks and disruptions at the hands of modernism. Muslim legal scholars in Middle Eastern states and elsewhere have seen their sacred Shari'a restricted, modified, distorted, or simply replaced by modern Western legal codes.' The reforms began in a piecemeal fashion, but recently, there have been wholesale importations of foreign law.2 Both Westerners and reformist Muslims have conceded that the very nature of Islamic law and its consequent rigidity have made much of it irrelevant to modern society. 3 The reform, though, has not been unopposed. Throughout Islam, traditionalist groups constantly rise in an effort to restore the Shari'a to its "rightful place" in the legal order.

Whereas no one can doubt the best intentions of the translator and the publishers in making this title accessible to an English speaking audience, the editing and digitization process of this book (carried out by the DILP Team) has revealed issues in the quality of translation. Based upon this fact, the DILP team has taken the liberty to make grammatical corrections to make the text more readable and less ambiguous; spelling mistakes and typographical errors have also been corrected and an attempt has been made to improve the highly non-standard use of transliteration of Arabic names and terms. The online text is not an exact reproduction of the original translation.
