Download or read book Islamic Law and Civil Code written by Richard A. Debs and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard A. Debs analyzes the classical Islamic law of property based on the Shari'ah, traces its historic development in Egypt, and describes its integration as a source of law within the modern format of a civil code. He focuses specifically on Egypt, a country in the Islamic world that drew upon its society's own vigorous legal system as it formed its modern laws. He also touches on issues that are common to all such societies that have adopted, either by choice or by necessity, Western legal systems. Egypt's unique synthesis of Western and traditional elements is the outcome of an effort to respond to national goals and requirements. Its traditional law, the Shari'ah, is the fundamental law of all Islamic societies, and Debs's analysis of Egypt's experience demonstrates how Islamic jurisprudence can be sophisticated, coherent, rational, and effective, developed over centuries to serve the needs of societies that flourished under the rule of law.

Download or read book Egypt written by Charles Philip Issawi and published by . This book was released on 1947 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prof. Issawi (American University of Beirut) concentreert hoofdzakelijk zijn aandacht op de sociale en economische ontwikkeling van Egypte tot aan Wereldoorlog II. Hij wijst er op dat de meeste boeken over Egypte zich bepalen tot de Anglo-Egyptische betrekkingen, z.i. zijn de econ. en de sociale toestanden aldaar de belangstelling echter ten volle waard vanwege de uitzonderlijke positie van dit land in de Arabische en de Islamitische wereld. Want ongetwijfeld is Egypte hiervan het voornaamste gebied. Hoewel bepaalde sectoren van de nationale huishouding (de buitenl. handel, katoen) intensief zijn bestudeerd, hebben andere (vooral de nijverheids- en arbeidsproblemen) tot nu toe weinig belangstelling kunnen inboezemen.

Download or read book Muhammad Abduh written by Oliver Scharbrodt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to approach the complex intellectual legacy of a modern Muslim thinker like Muhammad 'Abduh (1849-1905)? This book offers an answer to this question by providing a new complete intellectual biography of him. It delineates 'Abduh's formation as a reformer and activist and embeds his varied intellectual contributions in a culture of ambiguity which has marked the intellectual life of Muslim societies throughout their history. By using new sources – in particular his early mystical, philosophical and political writings – and including recent academic contributions on him, the book explores 'Abduh's complex intellectual formation, the various religious, philosophical and cultural influences that shaped him, and his changing attitudes towards “Western modernity” and its colonial manifestation in the 19th century. Oliver Scharbrodt challenges the perception in academic scholarship - and among Muslim reformers of the 20th century - that searched for intellectual coherence and biographical consistency in 'Abduh's life. Instead, this book offers a new more comprehensive reading of his intellectual legacy and highlights the variety of approaches and ideas manifest in his contributions.

Download or read book Freedoms Delayed written by Timur Kuran and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to diverse indices of political performance, the Middle East is the world's least free region. Some believe that it is Islam that hinders liberalization. Others retort that Islam cannot be a factor because the region is no longer governed under Islamic law. This book by Timur Kuran, author of the influential Long Divergence, explores the lasting political effects of the Middle East's lengthy exposure to Islamic law. It identifies several channels through which Islamic institutions, both defunct and still active, have limited the expansion of basic freedoms under political regimes of all stripes: secular dictatorships, electoral democracies, monarchies legitimated through Islam, and theocracies. Kuran suggests that Islam's rich history carries within it the seeds of liberalization on many fronts; and that the Middle East has already established certain prerequisites for a liberal order. But there is no quick fix for the region's prevailing record of human freedoms.

Download or read book Modern Trends in Islam written by H. A. R. Gibb and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a series of lectures delivered at the University of Chicago 1945, Modern Trends in Islam analyzes the evolving religious beliefs of practicing Muslims during the author’s own time. It was one of the first texts in English to treat Islam not as an unchanging set of beliefs and practices but as a dynamic religion whose meaning is continually redefined by its adherents. In six chapters, this concise book covers Islam’s confrontation with Western Modernism in the first half of the twentieth century in realms of law, society, and religious thought. In doing so, these essays anticipate many of the tensions between progressivism and fundamentalism that have characterized Islamic life, thought, and politics over the last seventy years.
