Contemporary mortgage among cocoa farmers in Côte d'Ivoire: A study in light of the consequences of Sharia

BADINI BASSIROU, Ismail Samoh — Sat, 29 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Objectives: This study aims to address the topic of mortgage in Islamic jurisprudence, which refers to "money that is used as collateral in a debt to be collected in case the debtor cannot pay it back." It delves into the modern form of mortgage among cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast, contrasting it with traditional Islamic jurisprudence and its contemporary manifestations. The study highlights the issue concerning the method of mortgage agreements among cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast, the circumstances leading them to adopt this practice, and the opinions of some Ivorian scholars regarding its permissibility or prohibition. This study's significance lies in its examination of a societal matter relevant to the researcher's community through analysis within the framework of Sharia implications.

Methodology: The study followed a descriptive-analytical and comparative methodology, employing interviews to gather information about mortgage practices among cocoa farmers.

Research findings: It arrived at several conclusions: differences emerge between mortgages in Islamic jurisprudence and mortgages among farmers concerning contract terms. The purpose and wisdom behind the farmers' mortgage terms involve trade, investment, and profit multiplication through usurious means, rather than solely aiding the pledger in alleviating hardship, as intended in Islamic jurisprudence. Farmers resort to mortgages to obtain sufficient funds for trade resumption, rebuilding flood-damaged homes, purchasing new homes, completing pilgrimage provisions, or for the purpose of treating a patient.

Contribution: The study contributes to finding solutions to the issue of usurious mortgages that are widespread in the society, and this is evident in the fact that the research dealt with the issue through study and analysis from the perspective of the implications of Sharia law, considering its motives and the conditions of those dealing with the issue.

Jiraroj Mamadkul, Tanuwat Rinnanont, Charupol Ruangsuwan, Darmp Sukontasap — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Objectives: This article examines Thai Muslims’ political opinions on social media and the policies of political parties in Thailand's general election on 14 May 2023.

Methodology: The authors employed the concept of political Islam as a framework to analyze and observe the political opinions of Muslims expressed through social media during the political parties' campaign period leading up to the May 14, 2023, election. The study period spanned from January to May 2023. The social media platforms examined included Facebook and its related features, such as Facebook pages, Reels, and Stories. The content analyzed encompassed Facebook pages of various news agencies, both from the broader Thai society and Muslim-specific outlets; pages of Muslim politicians; pages of various political parties; as well as personal Facebook accounts of Muslim scholars and the general Muslim populace.

Research findings: The study revealed that Thai Muslims exhibit distinct characteristics compared to non-Muslims when expressing political opinions on Facebook. A segment of the Muslim population utilizes an Islamic worldview to support arguments against opposing views on Facebook, particularly concerning policies proposed by political parties. The research team analyzed the political opinions of Thai Muslims during the period leading up to the May 14, 2023, election, categorizing them into seven types: Conservative Perspective, Liberal Perspective, Malay/Muslim Perspective, Hybrid Perspective, Candidate-Centric Perspective, Abstention from Selecting Any Candidate or Political Party and Non-Participation in Voting.

Contribution: The study introduces factors that potentially caused the differences among Muslim's political opinions. It explores how different groups of Thai Muslims prioritized social and political issues differently and how they conceived the information differently, particularly concerning Southern Thailand's unrest. In the future, the challenging prospect for Thai Muslims is probably to have a political party that can suit the demand and be "a hope" of the entire Muslim communities in Thailand beyond liberal or conservative parties.

Abstract

Objective: The study aims to investigate coinage activity and other types of historic commercial transactions in Sub-Saharan Africa: What causes impacted the appearance of currencies in some African communities, and how did they do so, for example, during Islam advent and colonization era.

Methodology: The current study documented several types of coins in Africa, whether commodity currencies or metals, using a Historical-Anthropological technique.

Contributions: In this light, the current article contributes by stimulating more research into Islamic coinage as an expression of Islamic civilization in Africa. It will also highlight politically motivated agenda to combat Africa’s ambitious strife to not only become self-independent politically but also economically by freeing themselves from the chains of the so called France CFA and other Western monetary systems inflicted on Africa by controlling African in the shackles of colonialism.

Objective To study the construction of meanings and production of knowledge on human nature and worldview of the Enlightenment project underpinning the modern thoughts which responsible for the destruction of environment, in comparison with the Islamic worldview and meaning of man which provide the ethical principles for the protection and preservation of the planet Earth.

Methodology Documentary, the use of academic works on western-modern philosophy, industrial revolution and its devastating effects on the environment. The writings on Islamic philosophy and the critique of western thoughts by Muslim as well as non-Muslim thinkers are consulted. The sacred texts of Islam are also extensively referred to.

Research Findings The construction of meanings and production of knowledge on human nature and worldview of the Enlightenment project insists that human is nothing but matter devoid of spiritual significant. This perspective maintains that man is being categorized as animal, and like other animals their very existence is to compete for a survival. The concept of human nature as being the same as those of animals has been well established by the Enlightenment project. Similarly, knowledge of the meaning of the planet earth established that nature is but material resources waiting to be exploited to serve insatiable desire of man. This concept of human nature and the meaning of the planet earth give rise to the unprecedented destruction of environment and the devasting impact on man and his societies. Islam, however viewed man as spiritual being or ethical being. The essence of man is spiritual with its disposition toward higher ethical accomplishment. The mother earth has her own spirit, embed in it a life-support system. Thus, both man and the earth are one organic whole responsible for one another. The Islamic concepts of Amanah (trust), Firtah (purity) and Khalifah (bearer), among others are well established as the ethical back bones for protection and preservation of the environment.

Applications Islamic Knowledge on the meaning of man, the natural world and their relationships as well as the ethical principles of khalifah, amanah, fitrah, and the noble origin of man can be tough, particularly, in the primary and secondary’s curricula.

Realism in International Relations: An Islamic Critique

Jiraroj Mamadkul — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0700

Objective The study aims to shed light on similarities and differences between realism and Islam in terms of their epistemology, methodology, and relevant concepts such as human nature, state in the anarchic international system, and power.

Methodology This study utilizes a qualitative research approach. Data are mainly taken from relevant literature and books. The analysis is conducted by comparing realism and Islam on the related epistemological and methodological constructs.

Research Finding This research argues that Islam and realism fundamentally differ on epistemological and methodological aspects. Realism is posited in line with the positivistic approach that rejects value as part of scientific inquiry. However, it has been argued by Muslim scholars that they are not value-free. Islam, on the contrary, accepts value as an essential part of knowledge and science taken from revelation sources (the Qur’an and Sunnah) and gives equal importance to rationality as a complementary method to comprehend the revelation and vice versa.

Application The study shows some relevance between realism and Islam. The study is useful for general readers and researchers who are interested in Islamization of social science in general and international relations in particular. The result demonstrates a clearer understanding of their similarities and differences.

Rational Substantial studies on Senge’s (1990) learning organization model have focused on the conceptual understanding using a descriptive approach, whereas less empirical studies have been conducted to develop and validate its measure, especially in a culturally different context. Consequently, more research is essential to empirically explore and confirm the existing model and concept of a learning organization.

Objective This study aimed to represent a necessary step to measure and validate learning organization based on Senge’s model framework in the cultural context of Thailand.

Methodology Participants were 308 teachers of Islamic private schools in Pattani province, southern Thailand. Exploratory factor analysis using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) was first performed to explore the theoretical constructs of Senge’s learning organization model and then Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to test its hypothesized model.

Research Findings In the item development process, the researchers initially developed a 75-item pool of learning organizations, and these items were revised and reduced to 47 items after experts examined their content validity. The PCA resulted in a 27-item scale that measures five extracted dimensions of a learning organization, namely, personal mastery, team learning, shared vision, mental model, and system thinking. Findings also revealed acceptable internal consistency reliability for the overall scale and the five specific sub-scale of a learning organization. The CFA showed that the five identified dimensions consisting of 23 items indicated a good model fit.

Applications The results of this study provided strong evidence that the five disciplines of Senge’s learning organization model can be operationalized and measured in Thai school contexts. And this developed measurement may provide good indicators for school administrators and educators who want to measure their schools’ practice of learning organization, especially in Thailand’s Islamic private schools setting.

Construction of a Basic Perspective on Critical Thinking in Islam

Mohammad Manzoor Malik — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0700

Objective This research aims at the constructing a basic perspective on critical thinking in line with Islamic principles with a brief explanation of such principles.

Methodology This study uses exegetical methods, by studying the relevant parts of the religious texts and systemizing the information in a critical way.

Research findings The research demonstrates that the principles for constructing an Islamic critical thinking perspective are found in the primary sources of Islam. The knowledge (العلم; al-'ilm) makes the core of Islamic critical thinking, and means of such knowledge are the revelation (الوحي; al-wahy), the use of senses (الحواس; al-hawas), intellect (reason and heart, العقل و القلب; al-aql wa al-qalb), historical experience or testimony (السياحة اوالشهادة; al-siyahah aw al-shidah), and meditating on the natural and physical world (الكون; al-kaun). There are other means such as prophetic dreams (الرؤيا الصادقة; al-ruya al-sadiqah), insight (الفراسة; al-firasah), illumination (المكاشفة; al-mukashafah), and inspiration ( الالهام;al-ilham), though they are dismissed to account for any scholarly opinion or position and thus they remain non-binding according to Shariah. However, they can be a gift of a genius mind that is extraordinarily critical, helping such minds in understanding and creativity. Critical thinking includes using many human faculties and the Quran frequently emphasizes contemplation التفكر; al-tafakur), reflection (التدبر; at-tadabbur), understanding التفقه; at-tafaqquh), and reasoning (التعقل; at-taakul); and these concepts are the foundations of critical thinking which could be developed and elaborated in many ways.

Applications The need of having an Islamic construction of critical thinking is because of the special worldview of Islam and its conception of knowledge which treats revelation (الوحي; al-wahy) as the primary source of belief and knowledge. The findings of the study can be useful in fashioning a basic curriculum for critical thinking for Islamic educational institutions.

The research aims to know the types of sermons, the life of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, and to devise the characteristic of Wasatiay in the sermon of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Allah blessed him, and the study relied on two approaches:

First- The historical approach, by examining the history of Islam, and the life of caliphate Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Allah blessed him.

Second- the descriptive and analytical approach, in which the sermon containing the aspect of Wasatiay was described and analyzed, and the researcher reached several results, the most important of which are:

-Humility is one of the commendable attributes that every Muslim should have in this capacity, and we find this attribute in the Abu Bakr sermon. and

มนุษย์ในอิสลาม

อิบราเฮ็ม ณรงค์รักษาเขต — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0700

จักรวาลอันกว้างใหญ่ไพศาลนี้มีความมหัศจรรย์และความลี้ลับซ่อนเร้นอยู่มากมาย ถึงแม้มนุษย์จะใช้ความเพียรพยายามศึกษาค้นคว้าสักเพียงใดก็มิอาจที่จะล่วงรู้สิ่งดังกล่าวได้ทั้งหมด เพราะสิ่งเหล่านี้บางครั้งอยู่เหนือสติปัญญาที่จะรับรู้ได้ การกําเนิดมนุษย์และความพยายามศึกษาหาคําตอบก็เป็นความมหัศจรรย์และความลี้ลับอีกอย่างหนึ่ง เพื่อจะเปิดเผยความลี้ลับของมันให้แก่ชาวโลกทั้งหลาย สําหรับมุสลิมแล้วความลี้ลับดังกล่าว อัลลอฮ์ได้ทรงเฉลยให้เมื่อพันสี่ร้อยกว่าปีที่ผ่านมา บรรดาอายะฮ์แรกๆ ที่พระองค์ทรงประทานแก่มุฮัมหมัด (ขอความจําเริญและความสันติจงมีแด่ท่าน) โดยผ่านญบรีล ก็เป็นอายะฮ์ (โองการ) ที่กล่าวถึงช่วงหนึ่งแห่งวิวัฒนาการของการกําเนิดมนุษย์ พระองค์ไว้ตรัสไว้ความว่า

“จงอ่านด้วยพระนามของผู้อภิบาลผู้ทรงสร้าง ผู้ทรงสร้างมนุษย์จาก อะลัก (ที่ยึดเหนียวอยู่กับ มดลูก)” (96 : 1-2)

คําว่า อะลัก (Alaq) นั้นแสดงให้เห็นถึงสิ่งที่ยึดเหนี่ยวหรือเกาะกับสิ่งอื่น อาจหมายถึงมวลเล็กๆ หรือตัวอ่อนที่ติดกับผนังมดลูก (ป้อมขุนพรม, มปท : 76)

นอกจากความหมายอายะฮ์ที่ได้กล่าวข้างต้น ยังมีอีกหลายอายะฮ์ที่ได้กล่าวถึงวิวัฒนาการของการกําเนิดมนุษย์ อายะฮ์เหล่านั้นได้บรรยายถึงประเด็นต่างๆ ที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการสืบพันธ์ของมนุษยชาติ เช่น การปฏิสนธิ ธรรมชาติของสเปิร์ม การเพาะตัวของไข่ที่ผสมแล้ว และวิวัฒนาการของทารกในครรภ์ เกี่ยวกับวิวัฒนาการของทารกในครรภ์ได้มี บันทึกในอัล-กุรอานความว่า

“หลังจากนั้นเราได้บันดาลอสุจิให้เป็นอะละเกาะฮ์ แล้วเราก็บันดาลอะ ละเกาะฮ์ให้เป็นก้อนเนื้อ จากนั้นก็บันดาลก้อนเนื้อให้เป็นกระดูก แล้วให้มีเนื้อห่อหุ้มกระดูก หลังจากนั้นเราได้บังเกิดมันมาในกําเนิดอื่น (ให้เป็นมนุษย์ครบถ้วน และมีวิญญาณพร้อมซึ่งผิดกับลักษณะดั้งเดิมที่ผ่านขั้นตอนต่างๆ ตามที่กล่าวมา) แท้จริงอัลลอฮ์ทรงเกียรติสูงยิ่ง ทรงเป็นเลิศที่สุดแห่งบรรดาผู้สร้าง” (23:14)

อายะฮ์ดังกล่าวแสดงให้เห็นอย่างชัดเจนว่าวิวัฒนาการของการกําเนิดมนุษย์ในอัลกุรอานนั้นไม่ได้ขัดแย้งกับหลักวิชาการ เพราะตามหลักวิชาการแล้วหลังจากตัวสเปิร์ม (อสุจิ) สามารถเจาะทะลุผนังของเซลล์ไข่ เซลล์ไข่ก็จะปิดตัวเองเพื่อไม่ให้สเปิร์มตัวอื่นเข้าไปอีกแม้แต่เพียงตัวเดียว หลังจากการผสมพันธุ์เกิดขึ้น หัวของสเปิร์มซึ่งเต็มไปด้วยสาร พันธุกรรมจะเจาะทะลุเข้าไปในของเหลวในเซลล์ของไข่ ต่อจากนั้นก็ค่อยๆ เข้าหาสารพันธุกรรมของผู้หญิงซึ่งอยู่ในนิวเคลียซของไข่ ต่อมานิวเคลียซของเซลล์ไข่และเซลล์ของสเปิร์ม ก็ถูกดึงเข้าหากันอย่างรวดเร็ว และในที่สุดก็หลอมตัวเป็นเนื้อเดียวกัน ต่อมาลักษณะพิเศษตามพันธุกรรมของชีวิตใหม่ก็ถูก

กําหนดขึ้น ต่อมาไข่ที่ได้รับการผสมก็จะแบ่งตัวเป็นครั้งแรก จากนั้นเซลล์ทั้งสองซึ่งเต็มไปด้วยสารพันธุกรรมจากพ่อและแม่ก็เคลื่อนตัวช้าๆ ไปยังมดลูก ในระยะนี้เซลล์ก็จะมีการแบ่งตัวและมุ่งหน้าไปยังมดลูกอย่างไม่หยุดยั้ง พร้อมกันนั้นเซลล์ดังกล่าวก็ถูกห่อหุ้มด้วยเซลล์สารอาหารเพื่อช่วยในการเติบโตของมัน ตัวอ่อนที่ห่อหุ้ม เกราะที่โปร่งตาก็จะลื่นไถลเข้าสู่มดลูกอย่างไม่หยุดยั้งเพื่อการฝังตัวในผนังมดลูกในอนาคต ในครั้งแรกตัวอ่อนจะสัมผัสกับมดลูกแต่ยังไม่สามารถฝังตัวได้ ต่อมาตัวอ่อนก็จะปริตัวออกมาจากเกราะและฝังตัวในผนังมดลูกในที่สุด

คําสอนในทางสังคมเศรษฐกิจที่สําคัญของอิสลามคือการลงทุนในทรัพย์สิน (Al Amwal) อันเป็นทรัพยากรทางเศรษฐกิจที่จะก่อให้เกิดผลผลิตงอกงามและเขยิบฐานะทางเศรษฐกิจของสังคมให้ดีขึ้น ดังนั้นการสนับสนุนให้ใช้ทรัพยากรทางเศรษฐกิจอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ (Effective) จึงเป็นบรรทัดฐานอย่างหนึ่งในระบบเศรษฐกิจแห่งอิสลามและซะกาฮฺก็เป็นนโยบายทางการเงินอีกด้านหนึ่งที่ตอบสนอเป้า หมายเหล่านี้อย่างชัดเจน ด้วยเหตุนั้นฐานะภาพของซะกาฮุจึงมีความสําคัญยิ่งในทฤษฎีทางการเงินในเชิงมหภาค (Macro Monetary Theory) ในระบบการคลัง (Public Finance) ของรัฐอิสลาม ¹

The "Muhkamat" and Their Role in the Formation of Thought

محمد بن إبراهيم بن حسن السعيدي — Mon, 24 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0700

It is well known to everyone who is familiar with the contemporary intellectual arena, the interest that has been given to the science of thought, whether in terms of authorship or reading. The science of thought has become nowadays a science that has books, authors, scientific institutions and its special methods. Thought in general and Islamic thought in particular have a special presence among young people who love culture and reading. However, the science of thought, which is the total and detailed perception of reality in terms of nature, composition factors, consequences, methods of improvement and treatment of its defects, has become a new science on Islamic culture. It shall be determined and controlled in accordance with Shari'a controls. This research shows the supposed or required relationship of Islamic thinkers with the texts of revelation (Quran and Sunna).

This research links the science of thought with the Shari'a clear evidences (Muhkamat) and their intellectual perceptions. The Shari'a clear evidences (Muhkamat) from the Quran and Sunnah are clear to people and whenever we built on them intellectual perceptions and attributed these perceptions to them; we control Islamic thought and preserve it not to deviate from its right course and purpose as well as keeping it from stumbling with intellectual pitfalls. What is to be known is that the greatest thing that the Shari'a clear evidences (Muhkamat) have set for the mind is the use of justice by the scholars of science and thought in a way that help people to know their religion and their life.

In conclusion, Islamic thought must be regulated by the Shari'a clear evidences (Muhkamat) and work according to them and achieve their goal in order to fulfil the desired goals and objectives of the science of thought

It Raised the Second Marriage Took Place in the Effects of the Previous Marriage (Divorce is Calculated from the First Marriage after the Second Marriage Model)

صافي حبيبي — Mon, 24 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0700

The divorce of a married woman from her husband and leaving him for a couple of months till the expiry of the Iddah period (waiting period allocated after the death of husband or after a divorce) has a number of implications. If this divorce was not a permanently irrevocable one - according to Islamic legislation -, that is the husband has issued only one or two divorces to his wife, and in the meanwhile the divorced woman married another man, and their relationship ends - in turn - with divorce or death; in such case, is it unacceptable for her to return to her first husband due to the previous divorce that preceded the marriage of the woman from the second man, or does the second marriage abolish the previous divorce? In fact, this subject had generated an old dispute among the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), the Tābi'un (followers) and the scholars of the four Sunni schools of law (Madhabs). The disagreement comes as a result to the fact that there is no clear text about such an issue on the one hand, and the possible existence of certain disputed evidences on the other hand. In an attempt to clarify the subject and review the statements and evidence of Islamic jurists as well as the adherents of law reasoning, this research seeks to compare and contrast the sayings of jurists according to the foundational goals (maqasid al-Shariah). Still, bringing the heated debate into an end is not possible in such matters, considering that the dispute is long-lasting and the issue dates back to the early times of Islam and was one of the subjects that generated controversy among Muslims of the first generation. In order to deal with this issue, this research will be divided into an introduction and two sections. The first section deals with the statements and evidence of those who adopt the attitude that the second marriage does not demolish the previous divorce issued by the first husband. The second section, however, analyses the statements of those who tend to say that the second marriage both abolishes and obliterates the effects of the first one, with the mention of their evidences and reactions. The study will include the opinion of jurists about this issue, and conclude with the most important findings reached.

محمّد الأمين محمّد سِيـلاَ, محمد رفلي ويهاما, عزمان تي علي — Mon, 24 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0700

This research seeks to highlight the wisdom of Islamic law spread throughout the world, the street wise in the education of Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Quraishi (peace upon him) and delivered him by the method of staging his calls (Da’wah) to all things; because Almighty Allah knows His creatures and temperament. Therefore, if the preacher follows this method of the Lord, he will gain his fruits in the shortest time and with the least of the efforts, and then he may know the secret of the success of the prophets and messengers in their duties, because they included in this important function the process of staging, and the Prophet Muhammad loved his nation, imitated in everything they could not find a way. The researchers used the inductive approach and analysis to achieve the goal. One of the most important results is that the Islamic Sharia is very easy, and the preacher may wear dress code of patience, and he should have a background of Islamic studies before he decides to take any step in his duties.

The paper then sheds some light on the GMF marketplace and the need for labelling from a consumer rights perspective. It concludes that the Muslims’ global purchasing power should translate into more influence taking with regard to more Islamically compliant production, processing and labelling on a wider scale.

Fatwa Institute for the Beginning of Islam and Contemporary Reality

فؤاد بن عبده محمد الصوفي — Sat, 01 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0700

There were no variety of verdict sources in the dawn of Islam. Rather, verdict was limited to the receiver of the divine revelation, the infallible Prophet (SAW). Allah says: “Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. It is not but a revelation revealed” (Qur’an 53: 3 and 4). The only institution of verdict was represented by the personality of Allah’s messenger (SAW). He was the only conveyer of the divine message. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) received from him whatever related to their religion in different occasions or questions posed to him (SAW). He was responsive to that which he knew and irresponsive to that which he did not know, until the revelation would come with the answer.
Thereafter, the society expanded and Islam lands. The companions received the Qur’an from the Prophet (SAW) who approved for them its inscription. Then the writing of hadeeth which had earlier been prohibited was permissible, and this qualified the companions for giving verdicts after the demise of the Prophet (SAW). A number of companions emerged in different fields of knowledge; some of whom were reciters and others were jurists. Their verdicts became institutionalized, for they did not have individual opinions, but they might
call one another for consultation. This confirms the institutionalization of verdicts in their era.
Then came the era of the companions’ students when there emerged a number of scholars called the seven jurists. After that, the generation of reform followed after the expansion of record and division of knowledge. In this era, the phenomenon of individual verdict began to spread due to the existence of scholars; each of who could possess a variety of knowledge, although some of them might gather on an abstruse verdict in order to deduce its ruling. However, in the modern era, knowledge has become more complex, and verdicts have become more needful due to the diversity of aspects of life and problems. Thus, scholars are required to strive for the establishment of jurisprudential academies to institutionalize verdicts so as to show the features of reform, ensure that the jurisprudence meets the requirements of the present situations and clarifies the Islamic rulings on the contemporary developments.

التراث الاسلامي بين التجديد والتمييع

الشيخ عبد العزيز محمد الفكي — Fri, 11 May 2018 00:00:00 +0700

The Islamic heritage is fertile ground for the practice of ijtihad and innovation, and because our Islamic heritage is very wide, diverse and rich, in all aspects and fields we need in all periods to modernize the reality and this is called the jurisprudence of reality and it is known that diligence is one of the necessities of Islam, According to developments in the life of the nation, ongoing and continuing program to the assets and colleges in a manner that does not conflict with the spirit and purposes, and at the same time modernizing does things, and what is new in life. We find that some of the thinkers and scholars have adopted a rigid ideological approach, rejecting everything that is new, whatever it is, and considering it an enemy of Islam and Muslims, while others represent a Western thought that accepts all new things and mixes with them, so that they do not differentiate between what is fixed and what is variable in religion, and thus became the waste and dilution of the constants religion of Islamic heritage sometimes in the name of Ijtihad.
Some of them are behind the Islamic heritage, conveying many issues and branches that need ways and efforts to develop the time and the emergence of many challenges and problems and the nation’s need to face these challenges. The isolation and self-containment by covering up the glories of history and heritage achievements is not merely a reminder of the history of the nation without contributing In the process of civilizational building through the renewal of branches of Islamic heritage.
The renewal we seek in the Islamic thought and advocated by scholars and thinkers of Islamic heritage to be a deep reading of the Islamic heritage responds to the challenges of civilization of the nation, contrary to the readings emanating from Western approaches and ideas. Therefore the vision that the process of innovation of the methods, ideas and perceptions adopted in Its tools on the fundamentals of Islamic civilization and its constants, should be a process of diligent comprehensive innovation that absorb all the inherited sciences and awakening the spirit of creativity, glamor and sophistication in the horizons of this science, linking it to reality.
”To work on the revival of Islamic assets and its return to the fundamental and pure sources of this religion and the modern consideration of a contemporary mind, the provisions of the jurisprudence as understood by the reality in which it lives, the Quran between the “jurisprudence of reality and jurisprudence” to reach the renewal in the branches.

Is “Universal Bioethics” Value free? Uncovering Culturally Determined Bioethics

Anke Iman Bouzenita — Fri, 14 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0700

The supposition of this paper is that bioethics in its different strata is culturally determined. Other than universal in the sense of ‘neutral’, secular bioethics-which is internationally leading the field of bioethics academically and in praxis - is an expression of a particular, materialistic worldview that does generally not consider spiritual or other-worldly dimensions. Islamic culture, based on the particular worldview of tawhid - the profession that there is only one Creator who created the universe and mankind, and that the purpose of human existence is the servitude to Him - has produced its own bioethics. Under Islamic bioethics, the human body is not the person’s possession, but rather an entrusted good (amanah) which will return to its Creator after death. The human being will be held responsible for its interaction and care taking of its physical shape. Beginning and end of life are predetermined and not subject to human decision making. The paper looks into the most prominent secular bioethical model, Beauchamp’s and Childress’ principlist approach (Principles of Biomedical Ethics, 2013), more particularly the principle of autonomy, and how it intersects in practice against a background of Muslim recipients in a majority or minority background. Discussed case studies will focus on beginning and end-of-life decisions, such as abortion, prenatal and preimplantation diagnostics, termination of life support, donor consent to organ transplantation after death, euthanasia, and their evaluation through the principle of autonomy at the intersection of secular and Islamic bioethics.

Tertiary Education in Muslim Countries – The Commodification of Ideas and their Unintended Consequences

Anke Iman Bouzenita, Aisha Wood Boulanouar — Fri, 14 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0700

Islamic education, from a holistic point of view, is more than just the direct transmission of the pure Islamic science. It encompasses other branches of specialisation and ideally accompanies Muslims, through reflections of the Islamic worldview during their formal and informal education.

Islamic Finance: Revisiting the Value Proposition

Habib Ahmed — Fri, 14 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0700

The pioneers of Islamic economics envisioned that an economy based on Islamic values and principles would strive to fulfill the goals of Shari’ah (maqasid al-Shari’ah) and fulfill the aim of Islamic law of promoting welfare or benefit (maslahah) of mankind and prevent harm (mafsadah). The practice of the Islamic finance, however, has been to become a ‘prohibition-driven industry’ focussing primarily on avoiding the prohibitions of riba and gharar. Ignoring the foundational values and focussing only on legal compliance makes the industry devoid of its essence and spirit. If the industry fails to promote the foundational values, it will fail to claim its uniqueness as being a positive ethical and social force in the economy.

Access to Islamic Finance: A Case Study of Muslim Community Enterprises in Southernmost Provinces of Thailand

Tawat Noipom, Aris Hassama, Mahmood Hayeemad — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0700

Many advocates argue that access to finance is an important component of economic prosperity in a community. In Muslim communities, financial services must conform to the Islamic principles. In line with this, one may conclude that access to Islamic financial services in the southernmost provinces of Thailand may play a key role in the improvement of well-being of the Muslims in the area. This article investigates the access to Islamic financial services among Muslim community enterprises that was supported by an international development organization. A quantitative survey method was adopted using questionnaires as the tool for data collection. The data was descriptively analyzed. The findings in this study show that the members of Muslim community enterprises are aware of the existence of Islamic financial institutions and have general information about their services. They, however, do not have detailed information about these services. At the moment, they do not apply for any of the Islamic financial services because they do not need one. This is an important factor for voluntary financial exclusion. Furthermore, they are in the opinion that involuntary exclusion factors such as risk, discrimination, contractual information and product features do not contribute towards their unwillingness to use Islamic financial services. Hence, it may be concluded that the issue of access to finance among the Muslim community enterprises in the southernmost provinces of Thailand is a voluntary exclusion, and not supply-side factors as being evident in some other countries. It is recommended that other sources of Islamic finance such as zakat, waqf, sadaqah could be suitable financing sources for the community enterprises in the southernmost provinces of Thailand since these sources are available for improving the welfare of the poor who constitutes the majority of members of these enterprises.

Hamas: Its Emergen ce, Structure and Ideology

อับดุลรอนิง สือแต, ซาฝีอี อาดำ — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 00:00:00 +0700

This article is scholarly adopted analytically and deducted in descriptive methodology. The objectives are 1) to study the emergence of Hamas, 2) to study the structure of Hamas and, 3) to investigate Hamas’s ideology. It also tries to explain the ideological shift of Hamas which has been evolving so far.

The study found that: 1) Hamas is a movement evolved from the Movement of Ikhwan al-Muslimeen. Both have strong mass bases. They have certain objectives and played a crucial role in campaigning against Israel and claiming the occupied Palestinian territories by Israelis. By comparison, Hamas’s anti-State of Israel stance is ideologically and practically more violent since its beginning. 2) Structurally, since Hamas has had long experiences in organizing and fighting against Israel, it has rather complete semi-state mechanisms such as executive, political, economic, information, foreign, and military affairs. On the other hands, it also runs a militant unit of Izzaddin Qassam, Intelligence cell, and Commandos, each with different duties but similar goals, namely liberating all the occupied territories and reinstituting the Islamic way of life in Palestine. In 2006 Palestinian general election, Hamas could win both in West Bank and Gaza Strip areas, thus, forming the coalition government (Palestinian National Authority=PNA). Despite the serious internal conflict that destabilized and divided the shared Governing bodies, Hamas could set up their own Palestinian governing entity in Gaza. This recent political development has led to the better, more complex and more potential changes in the Movement’s structure and ideology. And 3) Ideologically, indeed Hamas is not hostile to the Jews due of religion, but because Hamas believed that Israeli Forces have usurped and occupied the Palestinian and Islamic land in Palestine, therefore, any recognition of Israel is considered as betraying Islam. Hamas has also adopted Jihad in fighting against Zionists and Israel.

Islamic Work Ethics: A Systematic Literature Review

นิเลาะ แวอุเซ็ง — Tue, 29 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0700

Work cannot be successful and beneficial to others unless those involved in it uphold work ethics. From Islamic point of view, quality of work has direct link to work ethics which is derived from Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace be upon him). Indeed, work is part of worship (Ibadah) to Allah. However, there are handful numbers of researches examining the concept of Islamic work ethics (IWE) as well as its implications. This is because most works are done within western context. A systematic review of the present study reveals multi-dimensional concept of IWE which centered on religious values apart from its various uses. Related works on IWE were collected from online database and analysed by using matric table with reported frequencies. Suggestions were proposed for further construction of conceptual framework in the future.

The Effects of Contextual Changes on the Provisions of Hajj and Umrah Implications for Pilgrims from Thailand

حمدان داتو, عبد الحليم عادي, جنتا كيفاي — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0700

This article presents the results of a study on Ulama’s perspectives; the effects of contextual changes and the provisions of Hajj and Umrah with special reference to pilgrims in Thailand. From the analysis of various perspectives of the Ulama, the majority of Ulama applies a common belief in nullity of the provisions of Hajj and Umrah on an individual Muslim in the case of facing some obstacles during the journey as the incidents are considered as divine intervention and predetermination. Thus, an exception occurs when uncontrollable conditions are met by an individual Muslim until he could find next opportunity to perform hajj. (perhaps rephrasing it will be better).

Living in Japan as a Muslim: Current Situations and Problems

Takuma Sugibayashi, Samsoo Sa-u — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0700

The world's Muslim population has been constantly increasing over the years. Japan, too, has experienced/ observed an increase in the number of Muslims residing in the country. Being Muslim in a non-Muslim country is not easy. Therefore, Muslims in Japan have encountered a variety of hardships trying to live out their faith in Japan. The difficulties of following Muslim orthodox as it is done in Muslim-majority countries have led many Muslims in Japan to adopt a more flexible and compromising way of practicing their faith. Muslims face problems no matter where they are in the country, and without government regulations there are no consistent standards, particularly regarding what is Halal and otherwise. There is a serious lack of trust that Halal brands are in fact Halal. By pointing out problems that Muslim residents are currently facing and knowing how they deal with the problems, the current circumstances could be improved. Thus, this paper tries to recognize the current Muslim situations and identify current problems in order to reach effective solutions in the future.

Farok Zakaria — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0700

Malay and Islamic religion have existed long ago in the Malaysian soil, bringing about the Malay Islamic arts and culture. The Malay Islamic Arts and Culture have been the epitome of Malays in Malaysia. Recently, the wave of globalization has transformed some Malay Islamic Arts and Culture to be less significance in the daily life of a Malay Muslim. The role of Malay Islamic Arts and culture is slowly becoming alien to the heart of Malay Muslims. Many factors have contributed to the phenomenon of less popularity in the Malay Islamic Arts and Culture. The Malays themselves have embraced many western influences brought by the introduction of technologies and education. Adopting and practicing modern living with many constraints such as time, monetary and space have led many Malay Muslims to slowly forget their precious gem, the Malay Islamic Arts and Culture. This paper highlights the variety of Malay Islamic arts and culture practiced as rituals by Malay Muslims in Malaysia. It also discusses the factors contributing to the dying of these arts and culture as well as recommending some suggestions in curbing the ever disturbing scenarios of Malay Islamic Arts and Culture.
